Holly’s Current Travel Goals
During the pandemic, Holly has switched from frequent domestic and international trips to exploring the Adirondacks. She’s an avid hiker and hopes to complete the Adirondack 46er hiking challenge, hiking all of the region’s 46 High Peaks. She’s also excited for expanded access for New Yorkers to visit Canada, as she lives just an hour’s drive from downtown Montreal. When post-pandemic travel resumes, she hopes to revisit all of her favorite destinations, as well as road trip her way around Iceland.
Holly’s Favorite Travel Splurge
Holly always splurges on three things when traveling: accommodations, spa treatments, and dining. She loves visiting unique properties with stellar amenities, and all the better if there’s an on-site spa and fantastic restaurant and bar. She’s also never one to turn down a flight upgrade or lounge access. You could probably say that, when it comes to traveling, her husband is the more budget-conscious of the two.
