After years of traveling, I decided I needed to move abroad in order to immerse myself in a deeper experience.
Now I can share everything I've learned with you, to help you craft the a more connected travel experience as you explore Spain.
Are you ready to live explore a more authentic way of traveling?
I was too...
Maybe you've always wanted to travel abroad but haven't had the chance yet, or maybe you want to venture out of the all-inclusive trips you've been doing so far.
I'm here to help you figure out how to plan a safe and exhilarating trip abroad, whether it's your first time or your just your first time exploring Spain.
I've spent 15+ years exploring the in's and out's of Spain with my Spanish husband and am ready to share some of my best tips and secret spots with you.
One thing I personally hate is following a standard tour without feeling like I'm truly connecting with the people, the language, the history, and the culture, and I'll help you avoid that experience as well.
Do you remember the last time your vacation got you really excited?
I've always had a love for travel, languages and culture, even from as young as the age of 7. When I turned 19 I began traveling the world going to countries like Indonesia, Mexico and Brazil. I always craved having deeper experiences that connected me to the people, the history and the culture of the places I went and eventually I moved abroad to Spain to truly immerse myself in the culture.
I started of getting trained to teach English in Granada, Spain and eventually moved to Madrid where I ended up working and attending university.
I also met my future husband who truly taught me how to travel authentically in Spain. For years, we spent our weekends travelling to new places, trying the foods that are unique to each location and exploring their centro historicos.
We've made sure to check out everywhere from Andalucia to Castilla y Leon and Galicia and the north of Spain and we definitely have some recommendations to share.
We've also ventured outside of Spain quite a bit too and have some good experiences to share around Europe as well.
