Chandi, Our Local Expert Guiding Your Move
Chandi is Idaho born, raised, and still deeply obsessed with the Gem State, even though she now splits her time between here and South Carolina. With a mind-boggling 30 moves under her belt, she's amassed a library's worth of moving tips and tricks. She believes Idaho rewards curiosity, from small town events to overlooked trailheads and restaurants that haven't yet been popularized.

At Snappy Scout, she brings sharp local instincts and hard earned insight from three decades of Idaho living.

If you want to avoid crowds, shop on Sundays. Oh! And if you're at a small town parade, don't leave when the last float passes you. It usually comes back around for a second pass. Insider's trick: make an obvious target for the candy-throwers to hit. You will end up with a table full of goodies.
