MELISSA HOLST​


​Hello, I'm Melissa Holst, the heart and mind behind The Home and Abroad Agency. 

From my early days at Continental Airlines to an enriching experience in the insurance industry, every step has been about connecting with people and helping them navigate new paths.

​My first international experience was a revelation, inspiring my mission to share the wonders of travel with others.  From exploring the wonders of nature and ancient cultures to experiencing vibrant cities, cruises, and family-friendly adventures, I'm here to help you discover the travel experiences that truly resonate with you.


See the world.
Be the world.


​I believe every journey has the potential to transform and inspire. Founded on a passion for exploration and creating memorable, life-changing experiences, my agency is committed to connecting travelers with the world in the most meaningful way.

​My guiding philosophy, "See the world. Be the world.", invites travelers to embrace diverse cultures and perspectives, fostering a deeper connection with the places they visit. I specialize in crafting personalized adventures - from relaxing cruises to immersive guided tours, each thoughtfully designed to fit your unique spirit of discovery.
