Our Story

We didn’t wait for retirement to start living

We’re Candi and Jimmy. After 33 years of raising our four daughters, the house got quiet, and we decided it was time to do things a little differently.

We turned our longtime family home into a furnished midterm rental. Now, the rental income helps support our next chapter as we explore Southern California, move between furnished stays, and experience new places at our own pace. When Jimmy retires in a few years, we plan to take our adventures around the world.

Whether you’re planning for retirement, already retired, or dreaming of traveling more without giving up your home, you’re in the right place. Candi Collective is where we share our travels, local discoveries, and experiences along the way, plus how we’re making it all work while keeping our home.

Come along for the ride. ~ Candi & Jimmy
