Finding Holly came about just a few short months ago, when I finally decided to follow through on the travel blog I’d been talking about starting for years! It’s also possible the inspiration came from having been home for the better part of 18 months, the longest time in 8 years.

Enter, Finding Holly! My goal is for this blog to be not just my travel outlet, but also a place for travelers, both current and aspiring, to find inspiration, honesty, positivity and guidance. Below are some of my favorite posts so far, I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I’ve enjoyed writing them!

For example, thinking a lack of having my own clothes where I’m quarantined was, quite literally, the end of the world. On …
Finding an Optimistic View in a Sea of Chaos
So, I think it’s safe to say we are all processing what’s happening in our world right now in a lot of different ways. Everyone is asking questions not only about the present but also about the future. And while I’m trying to focus on the present, because truly we don’t know what the future …

Sometimes the Path Finds You
There are a lot of things in this world that are out of our control. Taxes. When our car battery decides to die when we’re absolutely sure we didn’t leave any lights on overnight. When we book a place to stay, our flight gets delayed, we can’t get a hold of the hostel to tell …
