Teresa
McCombs

I grew up across Texas, Georgia, and North Carolina, immersed in the travel industry from an early age. My father worked for Eastern Airlines, and my mother built her career with several travel agencies as our family moved throughout the Southeast. Travel was a constant in our lives, and many of my most cherished memories come from family camping trips and cruising the Mediterranean.

Following in my father’s footsteps, I began my own career in aviation with Eastern and Delta Air Lines. Around that time, my parents opened their own travel agency, and I joined the family business as a cruise specialist. Over time, I expanded into all aspects of travel planning and eventually managed the Cameron Village office as the company grew.

A few years later, I married and relocated to Hendersonville, North Carolina, where I joined Wilcox Travel & Tours. There, I specialized in corporate travel, managing several large national accounts. After welcoming our first son, I stepped away from the industry to focus on raising our family.

Two decades later, with both of my sons grown, I returned to my roots in travel after gaining additional experience in marketing, promotions, retail, and the art world. Re-entering the industry has been incredibly rewarding. I now combine a lifetime of firsthand travel experience with decades of professional expertise to design meaningful, customized journeys for my clients.

It has been especially fulfilling to once again work alongside my parents and sister in our family business. With more than 50 years of combined industry relationships and our affiliation with Virtuoso, we offer our clients unparalleled access, insider knowledge, and highly personalized service. I hold both my VTA (Verified Travel Advisor) and Luxury Travel certifications, and I am passionate about creating exceptional travel experiences and lasting memories for every client.
