What began as a behind-the-scenes role quickly turned into a lifelong passion. I started my journey in the travel industry in 2021 as an Administrative Assistant at a local agency. With a background in accounting and sales, I soon discovered a love for travel that changed the course of my life. Just a few months after starting, I took my first international vacation to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico — and that’s where everything clicked. I knew I had found my calling. 

Since then, I’ve had the privilege of designing unforgettable trips for clients all over the globe. I hold multiple travel certifications and specialize in destinations like Mexico, the Caribbean, the U.S., Canada, Central America, and several iconic European locations. While tropical escapes have my heart, one of my most cherished travel memories is exploring Alaska — its untouched beauty, serene landscapes, and raw wilderness left a lasting impression. 

What I love most about the travel industry is that it’s always evolving. There’s always something new to discover — whether it’s a destination, resort, travel trend, or experience, the world offers endless opportunities to learn and grow. It keeps me inspired every single day. 

I’m also incredibly proud to be a wife to my amazing husband Adam, who has been my biggest supporter through this journey. Together, we have two daughters: Karlyn and Kinley. Family is everything to me, and the support I’ve received from mine has made this dream possible. 

Starting my own agency wasn’t part of the original plan, but it has turned into one of the greatest blessings of my life. It’s given me the chance to work for myself, help others explore this incredible industry, and serve my clients with heart and purpose. Above all, I give glory to my Lord and Savior for every opportunity, and for entrusting me with the gift to steward this business. 

Let’s create something beautiful together — the world is waiting!

I am Michelle Holbrook, Chief Travel Consultant with Travelco LLC.  I was born and raised in Statesville, NC. I graduated North Iredell High School and furthered my education to receive my Bachelor’s degree Magna Cum Laude in Secondary English Education from Lenoir-Rhyne University.  I taught English at West Iredell High School here in Statesville for 13 years. I married my high school sweetheart, Jason, and we have two children. 

After honeymooning in Hawaii, my love of travel began. Aruba, Cabo San Lucas, Honduras, and Cancun have been a few of my favorite destinations in the past. Whether by cruise or flight, exploring any and all tropical destinations, as well as traveling abroad internationally is a personal desire of mine. 

My passion is to explore the world by research and by visiting 2-3 new places each year to broaden my experiences to better serve my clients’ needs. My goal is to help clients build their dream vacation exclusively planned with their personal desires and interests at heart and turn them into reality. I am an avid traveler who loves fitness, nutrition, hiking, dancing, relaxation, Muay Thai/American kickboxing, and anything outside. 

Let me help you with your travel dreams.
