Helping my clients plan amazing, memorable, magical vacations is my passion!
To say I love to travel is an understatement. I believe memories are so much more valuable than “things,” and travel is one of the best memory-makers! Exploring new places while traveling with family and friends is fun and rewarding for me. And booking trips for others makes me so incredibly happy because I feel like I am sending them on a wonderful adventure tailored to them. I became a travel agent because I enjoy planning every important detail and making special memories happen for other people. My goal is to make your getaway as hassle-free as possible.
Where do you want to go? Your amazing, memorable, magical vacation starts here!

Vacation of relaxing with no worries!
Reviewed By Erin C - Madison, Wi | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
We were able to enjoy our entire trip with no worries or time spent dealing with arrangements. Before our trip, Holly gave us a checklist of what was needed to enter Mexico and what to expect. During our trip, she confirmed our shuttle back to the airport. People who we traveled with who used Priceline, spent hours talking to a number of agents between their airline and Priceline trying to confirm a return home reservation. Holly promptly responded to my questions prior to our trip. She is wonderful to work with for a vacation!

Escape to Puerto Rico!
Reviewed By Stacey S. - Sauk City, WI | Traveled to Puerto Rico ~ USA
We couldn't have been more pleased working with Holly! From our initial inquiry, so was invested, supportive and a great listener. She offered numerous destination options, handled a location change and a last-minute cancellation, rebooked us and made sure everything was in order and sent us on our way to paradise! We are so thankful that we worked with Holly and will absolutely use her expertise again!If you're looking for a safe, beautiful getaway, I'd highly recommend Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Puerto Rico! We had an oceanview suite overlooking the pools and ocean...everything was so clean and well-kept! We were steps away from the beach where we spent hours relaxing with no interruptions like you might find at other Caribbean beaches. The food was spectacular, the service was just as great and we would highly recommend this destination!

Delayed anniversary trip

Holly helped us sort through our options and different island ideas. We settled in on St Lucia and were set leave in early May of 2020. Then Covid shut things down. Our twenty year anniversary trip was delayed by 2 years due to Covid. Holly was helpful and responsive to to all our questions. She helped guide us through confusing (sometimes nonsensical) hoops we needed to jump through for international travel during the “pandemic”. We had a great time on our first island vacation getaway.
