Who We Are
Castles and Canals consists of wives Dani and Tori. Originally from the US, they have called Amsterdam their home since 2018. Join them (and sometimes Laney) as they share their love for travel, exploration, cruising, and all things Disney.
Dani Holmes-Kirk
Dani is an avid runner and loves a good “run-cation”. As a lifelong fan, she is passionate about all things Disney parks and RunDisney. She blogs about running and fitness over on WeightOffMyShoulders. You can also find her on the socials as @irisheyes1982
Tori Holmes-Kirk
By trade, Tori works as a technical artist and indie game developer. In the winter you can also find her playing goal for an ice hockey team in Amsterdam. You can find here as @supertorio on the socials or at her personal blog.
Laney
Our little beagle/hound has been a part of our family since 2012. She’s getting on in years now and has some trouble walking because of her arthritis. So you’ll often see her rolling along with her moms in her fancy little dog buggy. She is always so happy to go along for a ride.
