Hello!
Welcome, I’m Candice Steele…
I got my BA degree in public relations from Brigham Young University in 2011. I have worked in many different press-related positions at a law school, for elected officials, and for a local newspaper. I am a published author and have been writing both online and print content for the last 14 years.
My family and I have been visiting the Gulf Coast since 2015 and have visited many of the amazing cities throughout the area. From the crystal blue waters to the historic Alamo, we’re here to share our knowledge and expertise with you.
As our name implies, Exploring the Gulf is all about traveling in the Southern United States and the Gulf of Mexico.
From our website, you can expect to get the perspective of a family traveling throughout states like Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Texas, and more. If you are looking for travel tips, tricks, and recommendations, you’re in the right place. My family loves this area of the country, especially when we are looking to escape the cold Idaho winters.
Our goal is to help you travel to the Gulf Coast safely and confidently so you can make amazing memories with your friends and family. If you’ve been dreaming of culture and beach days, you’re in the right place.
If you’re looking to get in touch with me with questions or want to work with us, you can email me at dearcsginger@gmail.com.
I have extensive travel experience in the following locations along the Gulf Coast:
- Florida: Orlando, St. Augustine, Ocala, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Tampa, Siesta Key, Marco Island, Fort Myers, Sanibel, Keys, Boca Raton, Destin, Fort Walton Beach, 30A, Panama City, Perdido Key, and Pensacola
