ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Holly Harris
Hi, I’m Holly! I’m a Florida-based travel enthusiast who’s always planning my next adventure. Over the years, I’ve developed a love for research and digging deep into the best spots to visit, which led me to create detailed itineraries for every trip. What started as a personal project quickly turned into something I wanted to share with others—because let’s face it, planning a trip can be exhausting and time-consuming, so why not let someone who enjoys the process take care of it for you? I’ve put hours (sometimes days!) of research into each of my itineraries to make sure they’re not just thrown together. Whether it's finding the best hikes or seeking out hidden gems, I’ve done the work so you don’t have to. I’ve also recently fallen in love with hiking, so rest assured, any hike I recommend is one I’ve personally done myself. Another thing I’m passionate about is trying local foods and drinks, and I always make sure to highlight those in my plans. Oh, and I travel with my two mini doodles, so many of my itineraries are dog-friendly—though not all of them, as I want to make sure you have a variety of options. If you’re looking for a trip planned with love, attention to detail, and personal experience, I hope you’ll find my itineraries helpful and inspiring! Enjoy!
