All About Me – My Journey So Far
Hey! I’m Holly – born and raised in a tiny village tucked away in the Lincolnshire countryside. I come from a close-knit family where we were always taught to chase what makes us happy, not just what pays the bills. That mindset has stuck with me, and honestly, it’s shaped everything about how I live and work today.
Growing up, I was always a bit of a social butterfly with a small, loyal circle of friends – the best kind if you ask me. I’ve always loved meeting new people and putting myself out there, and creativity has been a big part of who I am. Back in school and college, I had my heart set on becoming a beautician. I actually qualified in beauty therapy, but like so many others, COVID changed the game. Lockdowns meant people started doing their own treatments at home, and unfortunately, my dream career took a hit before it even had the chance to fully begin.
Post-lockdown, like many people in their early twenties, I felt completely lost. I bounced around from retail jobs to waitressing, recruitment, even warehouse work – just trying to figure out where I fit. It was tough. I was almost 20 and felt like everyone else had it all figured out while I was still trying to get through each week. The only thing I did know was that I didn’t want to settle for a life where work just felt like… work. I wanted passion. Freedom. Joy.
Then came 2021 – a turning point. I landed a role with Jet2holidays as a travel advisor. It was a full-time job, working from home, and completely out of my comfort zone since I had zero travel experience and had never even been on a plane before. But I went for it. And I’m so glad I did, because it completely changed the direction of my life.
Since then, not only have I fallen in love with helping others plan their dream getaways, I’ve also discovered a love for travel myself. My first ever flight was to Rome – and I absolutely lived for it. That trip sparked something in me, and now I’ve got a growing list of places I can’t wait to explore. The world’s just too beautiful to stay in one spot!
Fast forward to 2025, and I’ve taken another massive leap – this time into the world of social media. I joined the Fully Booked Social Media Manager Programme, and it’s been a total game changer. I’ve learned how to manage social platforms for businesses, helping them grow, show up online, and actually connect with their audiences. The best part? I’m blending this with my travel experience. I know exactly what potential customers want to see when they’re booking a hotel or resort, and I’m now helping businesses bring those dream-worthy vibes to life on social media.
This is just the beginning – I’m building something that lights me up and lets me help others in the process. So if you’re into travel, social media, or just love a good story, stick around!
