What better way to fuel a romantic's imagination than travel? And isn't it funny how getting lost can often be the best way of finding yourself, even if you're under the impression that you're a diehard introvert who can't possibly fit in with the crowd. Although originally hailing from Toronto, Ontario, in travel, Holly found an escape, found peace and found herself along the way thanks to the people and places she encountered. There is nothing on this Earth (literally) that Holly loves more than waking up at the crack of dawn to explore every nook and cranny of a new city, coming back with insider knowledge and tips of where to go, what to see, and most importantly, what and where to eat, always ending the day with a cozy group dinner with her Contiki family (did I say dinner? I meant drinks). For travel goals, she has made it her personal mission to visit every boulangerie in Paris...twice. For her, travel is important because it removes you from your everyday circumstances and allows you to become a brand new person in a brand new place and establish your identity on your own terms.
