We create experiences where culture is something you feel, not something you watch.
Immersive travel for people who want to participate, connect, and truly experience a place — not just check it off a list.
You’re tired of performing your life for social media. Scrolling through someone else’s trip, you feel like you’re missing something real. Travel has become another thing to filter and post. You want an escape that wakes you up, where you can show up as yourself and feel alive again.
We design small-group trips that put you inside the culture. Learning flamenco in its birthplace in Sevilla. Celebrating a wine festival in La Rioja, dressed in an absurd costume and shooting wine from a wineskin. Dancing at a local festival in Togo alongside people who have danced for generations.
You’re not watching from a tour bus. You’re in it — laughing, learning, and experiencing culture alongside the people who actually live it.
Meet Candi
Founder & Curator
I've spent the last 8 years as a flamenco student, 15 years traveling and working across cultures, and 5 years co-creating immersive experiences in Spain. I know the difference between tourist experiences and the real thing; because I live in both worlds.
What I learned is that authentic participation requires real relationships. That's why every trip is designed with people and places I actually know. My work in international development across five countries taught me how to build genuine cross-cultural connections. My years as a flamenco student taught me what it takes to actually invest my time in learning something new just for the fun of it. My time co-creating the Xianix Barrera Flamenco Immersion taught me how to design experiences where people show up and participate, not perform.
I'm obsessed with the details—the logistics, the timing, the small moments that make a trip feel alive instead of exhausting. But more than that, I curate experiences that actually stick with you. The ones that change how you move through the world.
The Wandrly Way is what happens when someone who knows these places, respects these cultures, and genuinely loves this work decides to share it.
