Beautiful stays. Better stories. Your next chapter.
Turn your travel content into a thoughtful hotel-partnership offer. Learn to pitch, plan the shots before check-in, and bring the stay to life in CapCut.
From the family-travel world of thefloridatravelfamily & Fishing Anonymous.
A family decision. A whole new way to see the world.
Tia and Tyler sold almost everything and moved their family to Florida to make more room for sunshine, time outside and experiences together.
Fishing Anonymous and thefloridatravelfamily grew around that life: coastal weekends, family adventures, unexpected stays—and the little details that help someone else picture their own trip.
A boat becomes an opening scene. A hotel becomes the base for an adventure. A connecting room becomes the detail another parent needed to see.
The place is the setting. The experience is the story.
Stay Hosted turns those creative lessons into a practical workflow you can use, from a property shortlist to the final delivery.
Selected public travel work—not a claim that every stay was hosted or that any featured property endorses this course. Availability and amenities can change. Explore more on @thefloridatravelfamily and @fishinganonymous.
THE SKILL BEHIND THE SCENERY
The story starts before you arrive.
You do not need more random footage. You need to know what you are making—and the shots that will make it possible.
WORKED TEACHING EXAMPLE · COASTAL GETAWAY
Decide what the story has to prove.
Choose one traveler and one reason this property fits their trip. Translate the promised deliverables into scenes, not a vague mood board.
Inspired by the public Hotel Zamora story; a teaching exercise, not Tia’s private production brief.
01Guest: a couple planning a coastal escape
02Opening: arrive by water and establish the place
03Proof: show the access, experience and useful details
04Backup: an indoor sequence if sunset disappears
TRY A SMALL PIECE OF THE PROCESS
Write your story before you shoot.
Who is this stay for? What will make them care? Replace the examples to create your first story direction.
Help parents planning a coastal weekend picture a stay with room to reconnect and an easy way to explore. Capture an arrival, one useful detail, a human moment and a closing payoff that prove that promise.
Nothing is submitted or saved. You can also select and copy the text.
OPEN THE COURSE. MAKE SOMETHING USEFUL.
A creator studio. In your carry-on.
Clear enough for your first pitch. Detailed enough to sharpen your next partnership. No searching for what to do next.
A self-paced written digital course, not a video library or coaching program. Software subscriptions are not included. Templates are authored teaching resources—not reproductions of private hotel correspondence.
EIGHT MODULES. A CLEAR FINISH LINE.
From “where do I start?” to a real plan.
Every stage has an action to take, a tool to use and something useful to finish.
Define who you help, what you create and why a hotel should care. Build an honest media kit with relevant work—even before your first hosted stay.

YOUR FIRST WEEK, MADE SIMPLE
Less saving advice. More putting it to work.
DAYS 01–02
Find your fit
Define your creator offer. Choose three relevant examples. Research a small, thoughtful property shortlist.
DAYS 03–04
Build the offer
Personalize your pitch. Set the scope and boundaries. Know exactly what you are proposing.
DAYS 05–07
Make the story tangible
Map a sample shoot, practice the edit and review your pitch. Send only when your proof and proposal are ready.
Your pace may vary. This is an action plan, not a seven-day promise of a hotel partnership.
BEFORE YOU CHECK IN
Good questions. Clear answers.
What exactly am I buying?+
A self-paced written digital course and downloadable creator toolkit: the Start Here guide, Studio Manual, Field Workbook, Swipe Vault, forty-shot planner and fillable PDF workbook. Guides and templates include PDF and editable Word formats. This purchase does not include a video lesson library, coaching or access to a private online course portal.
Do I need a big following—or a hosted stay already?+
No follower minimum is required to study the course. Learn to build honest, relevant proof and distinguish content-production value from audience distribution. Every hotel decides whether your work, audience, timing and proposal fit its needs.
Will this get me free hotel stays?+
There is no guaranteed hotel response, hosted stay, income or audience growth. A hosted partnership is an exchange with responsibilities. Taxes, resort fees, transport, meals and other costs may remain your responsibility. Agree on scope and expenses in writing.
Are these Tia’s actual trips and private emails?+
The linked travel stories are real public work from thefloridatravelfamily. Their creative decisions are used as examples. The outreach templates and planning tools are teaching resources, not a claim to reproduce her private emails, contracts or exact process behind every trip.
How do I get the files?+
After successful payment, Shopify Digital Products provides the download. Save the ZIP, unzip it and begin with START_HERE_STUDENT. Keep a local backup; the link has a five-download limit. Use a PDF app that supports form fields for the fillable workbook; mobile support varies.
What equipment or subscriptions do I need?+
Start with the phone and editing setup you already have. CapCut is the editing workflow used in the course; paid features and subscriptions are not included. You will also need email, file storage and backup, and whichever social accounts fit your plan.
I already create content. What is useful for me?+
Go straight to the production brief, scope and rights checklist, forty-shot planner, CapCut story map, delivery structure and renewal templates. Use them to tighten the parts of your process that currently live in your head.
YOUR NEXT CHAPTER STARTS WITH A PLAN
Make the stay worth telling.
Bring the idea. Build the pitch. Know the shots. Create the story a potential partner can understand.
