From Paris to Spain to San Francisco, it’s always a joy to share my love for writing and the world with others — be it at a conference, class, or special event. With a wide range of speaking topics including traveling solo as a woman, finding and telling great stories on the road, and charting your path as a creative entrepreneur, I’d love to hear from you on how we can work together.

“Candace is an excellent writer who has lots of experience traveling the world solo. She’s been to a variety of places and her experience and advice is very helpful to others looking to travel the world, especially young women who might be nervous about going solo. It was a pleasure to have her on CreativeLive sharing her experience. The audience loved her and said that she was one of the highlights of the class.”
