My Story
Vacation is essential for disconnecting from our everyday lives and recharging our batteries. I have a passion for the mountains, beaches, family travel, adventure, delicious meals, and spa rejuvenation. I am passionate about hearing where people's adventures take them and helping them create unforgettable memories.
My Travel Style
In winter, I thrive on skiing in the mountains all day, followed by après-ski with friends, a cozy dinner, and a warm fire. In summer, the mountains call to me for hiking, biking, and taking in spectacular views. I love jumping in the waves at the beach with my family or unwinding with a good book while enjoying the scenery. Whether traveling with our two kids, escaping with my husband, or enjoying a girls’ getaway, I find joy in every adventure. Wellness retreats like Miraval are a personal favorite, as travel truly resets the soul. The planning is all part of the journey, and I love being a part of it.

Holly was absolutely wonderful with helping plan the trip. She is kind, thoughtful and you can tell she is invested in making sure all your needs are met.

Holly made the entire booking process effortless. She never pushed one resort over another and instead provided a variety of excellent options to fit my budget and wants. Once I selected my resort, she went above and beyond, working directly with the property to secure the best room possible and thoughtfully curating an itinerary that included top-notch lodging, restaurants, and wineries. Everything not only met my needs but truly exceeded my expectations. I honestly don’t know how I went so long without a travel consultant like Holly at FORA. I’ll never travel without consulting her again, highly recommend!

Holly was the excellent. First off, she's funny and kind and seemed truly interested in helping us have a wonderful vacation. It did not feel like she was doing a "job." It was more like we had a great friend helping our family. She was attentive and responsive through the entire process of planning and booking our vacation. She asked all the right questions and even inquired about details that we would not have thought about. She took the time to get to know us and our vacation needs and then presented what she thought were our best options so that our family could discuss and make our decision. When it was time to book she made the process seamless. It was only when we got to our hotels that we realized how perfectly she had steered us. With her guidance and support we had one of our best vacations ever. Holly was with us every step of the way and checked in during the stay to make sure that things were up to her standard. We ended up with a perfect combination of hotels and activities. We left our vacation rested and happy with a family agreement that we will ask Holly to book all our vacations from now on.
