meet the owner, Candace
Hi there! I’m the Founder & Lead Travel Designer of Remember When Travels! I grew up in Kentucky but now call the sunny beaches of LA home. My travel philosophy is pretty simple: the best trips mix plenty of relaxation with some really authentic experiences that help you connect with a place the local way.
My travel bug bit hard circa age 17 when I spent six amazing weeks exploring South America. Despite not speaking the language perfectly, I made some incredible friends, tried foods I couldn't pronounce, and fell completely in love with discovering new places. Since then, I've been fortunate enough to wander through more than 50 cities across 22 countries (and counting!).
why I LOVE travel planning
While yes, traveling myself and planning dream trips around the world brings me so much joy, my all-time favorite part about the travel industry is that it’s heavily relationship-based. Not only do I get to form strong bonds with clients as I plan meaningful trips, but befriending trusted partners from all over the world and learning about their culture along the way is something I don’t take for granted.
why clients keep coming back
I’ve been fortunate enough to plan countless romantic getaways, family holidays, and friend reunions for clients who keep coming back for their next adventure. I believe part of the reason they return is because I understand that “luxury” isn’t the same for everyone. I take the time to get to know you, your companion(s), your interests, and all the little details that make a trip feel perfectly tailored to your style. I wholeheartedly recognize that your trip is an investment in both time and money—two finite and precious resources.
my promise to you
When we work together, you're getting way more than just a trip planner! You're getting a friend who's as excited about your travels as you are. I've built trusted relationships with experts all over the globe who help make your experience extra special. And while I'm definitely a Type-A planner at heart, I also know when to leave room for those magical unplanned moments.
