Holly Glessner

Holly grew up in Iowa and was fortunate to have parents who loved to travel. Every year her family would take off to a different part of Mexico or Europe, and summers were spent in northern Wisconsin on the shores of Lake Michigan. After graduating from the University of Northern Iowa with a degree in Public Relations and Communications, she spent a year in Chicago working for corporate America. Realizing the corporate world wasn’t for her, she headed west to Colorado and beautiful Boulder. Wanting something new, Holly discovered the travel industry. She initially spent 13 years specializing in scuba diving tours and group travel around the world before ending up at Natural Habitat Adventures—and boy, what a change that was! Who knew work could be so much fun?

Holly has also visited Churchill, the Galapagos Islands, Turkey, the Bahamas, Alaska, Peru, South Africa, Botswana, Argentina, Antarctica, Brazil, Uganda, Tanzania, Thailand and Cambodia. She traveled to Australia in 2023, checking off her 7th continent with Nat Hab. When she's back at the office, she's helping make Nat Hab ever more sustainable as a member of our Green Team. When she isn't working or traveling, Holly enjoys camping, hiking, sea kayaking, scuba diving/snorkeling and playing pickleball.
