Hi, I’m Candi
I’m a travel advisor specializing in international travel — cruises, European itineraries, and group journeys. I plan every trip as if I were going myself.
A sudden accident in my twenties took my husband’s life. It showed me, in the clearest way possible, how quickly everything can change — and how much gets left undone when you keep waiting for the right moment. Life is short, and the people and experiences you keep putting off may not wait for you. That realization has shaped everything since.
My background is in mathematics, and I spent my career in education — the second half as a director of professional services, which kept me constantly on the road. That analytical mindset, combined with years of real-world travel experience, shapes how I approach every itinerary. I was lucky to find a second love, and now exploring the world together is central to how we live.
In early 2023, I built Devoted to Travel — not to hit targets, not to work for someone else, but because helping people get out into the world is something I genuinely love. My focus is international travel: European river and ocean cruises, group journeys, and bucket-list destinations like Italy. If you’ve been dreaming of getting abroad and want someone who will plan it properly — that’s exactly what I do.

Cruise Lines
Ocean & River Cruises
From the Caribbean to the Mediterranean, Alaska to the Rhine — I know the ships, the itineraries, and which lines are worth booking. I’ve sailed 35 cruises across 9 cruise lines.
Europe & International
19 European countries and counting. I specialize in bucket-list destinations — Italy, France, Portugal, the Greek Islands — crafted as immersive, well-paced journeys, not rushed tours.
Rail Journeys
There’s no better way to see a landscape than from a train. I plan Rocky Mountaineer journeys, European rail itineraries, and rail-cruise combinations that make the journey the destination.
There’s a Reason Everyone Dreams of Italy
Italy isn’t just a destination — it’s a feeling. The light in Tuscany, the quiet corners of Cinque Terre, the sheer weight of history in Rome. I’ve traveled there repeatedly and I plan Italy trips that go beyond the obvious itinerary.
Whether you want to walk the Amalfi Coast, explore the Dolomites, take a cooking class in Bologna, or spend a week among the canals of Venice — I’ll build an itinerary that fits how you actually want to travel.
