Get to Know Me
Hi, all! 
My name is Melissa Brinkley and I live in Ayden, NC. I am married to my amazing husband, Dylan, and together we have boy/girl twins – Kilian and Trinity! I started off as a travel advisor in 2022 as a hobby and it has quickly become a part of my family’s everyday life – we are always helping others plan a trip or planning a trip ourselves!
My name is Melissa Brinkley and I live in Ayden, NC. I am married to my amazing husband, Dylan, and together we have boy/girl twins – Kilian and Trinity! I started off as a travel advisor in 2022 as a hobby and it has quickly become a part of my family’s everyday life – we are always helping others plan a trip or planning a trip ourselves! My love for travel started off when my hubby and I took our first trip to Universal Orlando Resort in 2018. I am a Harry Potter NERD – so the Wizarding World of Harry Potter was calling my name. And thus, we were hooked. We instantly became Annual Passholders and learned everything there was to know about Universal! Since then, we have been back several times every year and always have a trip of some sort (Universal Studios, Disney, weekend getaways, etc.) on the horizon.
Since our twins were born, I have become well versed in tips and tricks for traveling with infants/toddlers and young children. One of my favorite parts of the travel advisor life is planning “first visit” trips and family vacations. I value the relationships I build with my clients – if you are looking for a travel advisor who makes experiences personal and unique, look no more!

If you have vacationed with Melissa being your travel advisor, please leave a testimony of your experience below!
We had the most incredible trip to Universal thanks to Melissa’s expertise and booking for our family. We crammed in as much as we could and even stayed in 2 different hotels, making the most of our time there and staying on budget for our trip. She made the experience so flawless for me and was in constant communication while planning and checking in. We can’t wait for another trip and will absolutely use Melissa for every vacation. Highly suggest and recommend her for your planning and trips!
Melissa has been amazing to work with! She helped up plan our trip to Mexico and was so thorough and kind. She answered all questions we had and cleared up any safety concerns we had with the area. She made sure we got the best bang for our buck and we are so so excited for our trip!! I will always go through Melissa for our travel needs!
I can’t say enough about how much Cale and I appreciate the help from Melissa with booking our NCL honeymoon. She was very patient (and I mean VERY patient) with me changing dates, places, number of people going, etc. Melissa responded very quickly to my emails and text. She even offered up suggestions that helped choose the perfect honeymoon cruise. We will definitely use Melissa Brinkley again as our TA!! Thank you Melissa ❤️
You wanna go somewhere? This here is your gal! She is the friendliest of the friendliest. She is super responsive. She is super smart and knowledgeable, and if she doesn’t know, she will dig until she finds the answer. She is persuasive without being pushy. If you want to make things less stressful and super easy when scheduling a trip, flight, hotel, etc., call Melissa!! ❤️
My husband and I booked a quick trip to Asheville for a much needed stress free release! We had found out we were pregnant and we hadn’t told hardly anyone! Not even our family! Melissa came through so quickly and booked us up within a few days! It was such a great experience and we will definitely book with her again!
