About TravelCrafters

With the experiences of traveling all over the world and an eye for detail, TravelCrafters shapes your journey to reflect what you dream about on a vacation, where you want to go, what you want to see, and how you want to do it. They can tell you what to expect, when the best time to go and make your sojourn an experience, rather than a trip.

Using expansive resources, the Crafters arrange your transportation, your accommodations, and your adventures. Whether it be a cruise, a tour, or a customized itinerary, they have expertise in all those areas.

It's All in the Details

The specifics involved in crafting travel can be as simple or as complex as you wish. With your input, your journey takes shape as the pieces are put in place, planned, and organized. What TravelCrafters brings to the relationship is experience – the Crafters have been there and can tell you about it. Your interests are top priority during your vacation. Without this support and assistance, you would be on your own in the event something should come up. Don’t forget, the most expensive item on your journey is time. Once lost, it is never recovered. TravelCrafters is here to make sure your travel is not interrupted by the small details.

First and foremost, we are travelers, just like yourself. We’ve taken those long flights, enjoyed the serenity of cruising down the Rhine River, ridden trains in foreign countries, and enjoyed the end of busy travel days with beautiful sunsets, gracious hosts, and a good glass of wine. Stan and I came together with a passion to help other people plan their journeys and make their experiences as memorable as ours have been. Success to us is crafting a great trip that turns into a journey of a lifetime.

SHELBY LANGSDALE

She caught the travel bug as a teenager during her first trip to Mexico City. A summer studying Art History in Florence solidified her passion for travel, which led to a role as a Pan American stewardess flying to major European cities. Her career in marketing research for Fortune 500 companies, including Apple Computer, offered extensive corporate travel abroad. Family and “empty nest” vacations across Europe and the Americas have only sharpened Shelby’s passion for lifelong learning and cultural experiences.

In Memoriam

A true icon of the travel community here in Prescott, Arizona, Stan “The Travel Man” will be remembered by the many people whose lives he touched while on his extensive travels. With his photographic memory, he shared those detailed experiences with his clients to make their “trips of a lifetime” a reality.

In his 40-year career in travel, Stan owned several agencies, but none closer to his heart than TravelCrafters here in Prescott, Arizona. He was pivotal in creating the most successful travel agency in the area.

Some of his most vivid and heartfelt memories were of his days on Mount Rainier, Washington, as a mountain guide. He kept the mountain and his memories close to his heart, and revisited Rainier back in 2024. His ashes will be scattered on the mountain he loved.
