Hello! We are so glad you’re here! We are the David Family and welcome to The CDavids—a travel and lifestyle destination where Chris, Cristina, Cairus (9), and Callen (7) share a window into our SoCal fam life in OC (Orange County, CA) where we navigate the beautiful balance of life and adventure, often with friends, grandma, or the pups in tow.
As 7-continent explorers and travel advisors, we’re here to help you see the world with confidence. Whether you’re looking for parent hacks, kid-tested itineraries, and real travel experiences to inspire your next adventure, or expert booking support for your family or retirement celebration trip, we’ve got you covered. We also share the scrunchy lifestyle tips and wellness tools that keep us happy, healthy and grounded in Santa Ana (near the Anaheim Disney area).
