Your trusted family travel planner for meaningful, personalized adventures
Custom vacation planning for families who want more than just a trip - we design journeys that educate, inspire, and bring you closer together.
More Than Just a Vacation. We Create Lifelong Memories.
Our travel advising services began out of a desire to use travel to give back. As a travel writer, I learned how to turn vacations into meaningful and immersive experiences, while focusing on education and community impact. I now help others embark on true luxury vacations.
I provide personalized, concierge-level vacation planning to Disney destinations, the Caribbean, U.S. resorts, and Europe. For most destinations, my custom travel planning services are provided at no additional cost to clients.
Meet Your Travel Advisor
Candi Hurst
Founder, Mom of Four, Experience Creator
I have always used travel to inspire my children (and myself) to learn. I believe the best lesson is the importance of making the world in which we travel better than we found it.
With a background in education and social work, a heart for service, and a certification in travel planning, I wanted to do travel planning a little differently.
So I bring deep personal insight into planning vacations that are enriching, unforgettable, and completely personalized. And I donate all proceeds from Castles and Carpools to charity
“Travel is one of life’s great educators, God’s window to all that is possible. I’m here to help you do it better, easier, and more meaningfully.”
