Clayton Hensley – Knoxville (but actually Small Town Clinton), TN
Travel does more than transport you from one place to another; it provides an avenue for endless adventure. My name is Clayton Hensley (a.k.a. knoxroadtripper). I am an East Tennessee native who has always loved the open road and the chance to experience new places.
Following a 15-year career in the television news business, I found myself writing more and more about travel. I started as a freelancer with the Knoxville News-Sentinel, then moved to writing for outlets online. Eventually I created my own website focused on travel, knoxroadtripper.com.
The travel writing journey not only took me to different places, it also took me to new levels professionally as my writing expanded to work in travel guides, work on a wide range of websites, and attending many travel-related conferences. My hope is to inspire people to venture out on a road trip and return with a new perspective about the places they visited along the way.
My wife Melinda and I have lived in Clinton, TN for more than 25 years. We have a son and a daughter, who, through the years, loved traveling with us (most of the time)! My “real” job is working as a communications director for a large church. In what little spare time I have, I love taking lots of pictures, cooking, and catching up on the TV shows I’ve missed because I’m out on a road trip.

Candi Hurst – Hedgesville, West Virginia
Candi from Castles and Carpools is a mom of 4 kids who believes there’s a bit of homeschooler in all of us. She thinks the greatest lesson of all is how to give back to the world in which we travel. So she donates all proceeds from her blog to charities that support children and families. She hopes to use her family’s travel finds (and occasional vacation flops) to help others learn about great destinations.
