Spain Scouting Trip
Personalized Itinerary & Planning for Moving to Spain
$100/day (minimum 4 days)
Partial trip planning available.
Dreaming of moving to Spain? A personalized scouting trip is the best way to explore your options before making such a life-changing decision.
Experience potential places to call home, gain valuable local insight, connect with trusted professionals, and enjoy an unforgettable journey along the way. I’ll design a customized scouting itinerary based on your goals, lifestyle, and priorities, giving you the clarity and confidence to determine if Spain is the right fit for you.
Drawing on my firsthand experience living in Spain since 2015, an extensive network of trusted contacts across the country, and my deep knowledge of the relocation process, I’ll help you make the most of your time on the ground. I live in the beautiful Costa Blanca in Spain’s Valencia Region and specialize in this area, while also offering guidance throughout the rest of Spain based on years of firsthand travel and local connections.
Considering more than one region—or even another destination in Europe? I can create a multi-destination scouting trip to help you compare locations and find the place that feels most like home.

Additional Information
*Price can vary due to any of the following factors:
- Additional services are desired that are not within the scope of service.
Trip Start Date:
- If my Trip Planning Services are hired within three months or less of the trip start date, a rush charge may be applied to the total service cost, depending on the amount of time available for planning the trip. It is preferred that my services are hired at least five to six months in advance.
Fora Pro Travel Advisor:
- I am an independent affiliate/contractor of Fora Travel, which is my host agency. They provide me with the best certification, ongoing education, top of the line supplier partnerships worldwide and consortiums, and an incredible community of fellow travel advisors around the world. This brings immense added value because it supports and furthers my exclusive expertise, network, and resources (VIP perks anyone?) that I use for planning your trip in ways that surpass what you can do on your own.
The Magic of How it's Done
Service Fees:
- I charge a fee for certain planning services so that you can benefit from my time and expertise spent on research, custom itinerary design, booking arrangements, and support that create a bespoke trip for you. It’s a great way to value your time, to value my time, experience, and resources, and to support a small business.
Per Destination Planning Fees:
- A destination is defined by a change in accommodation. As you can imagine, this is a whole new round of work to plan transportation and the new accommodation. For this reason, if you choose partial trip planning instead of full trip planning so that only a select number of days of your trip are planned, I also charge a fee per additional destination (the first destination is included).
Flights:
- I do not book flights because it is an item that is best for you to book yourself due to the difficult and restricted nature of changing tickets. I can research flights to provide options and consultation, but I do not provide exact pricing quotes since there are multiple, detailed factors when booking that you can choose to add to your flight.
Travel Insurance:
- I strongly encourage all clients to get travel insurance. As part of my services, I provide travel insurance options from some of the best providers so that your trip costs are protected and you can travel with peace of mind.
Process:
- I'll send you a trip inquiry form to gather your desires for your next trip. Not sure of where you want to go? No problem! I can help provide some great ideas and options to consider based on the information you provide about your preferences and desires.
- From my Travel Consultant relationship with vendors, I check for ways to maximize your trip with any exclusive promotions and benefits that I can access.
- When you've decided on what you want me to book, I'll provide a secure online credit card authorization form that ensures we have a record of the amount you're authorizing me to charge your method of payment for the booking. Sometimes bookings may be paid up front and other times at the property, depending on the conditions.
- I'll make sure to send timely reminders of any upcoming payments for bookings.
- Your bookings and details will be compiled into a convenient, online itinerary that includes links and real-time flight tracking to notify you of delays or cancellations. It's mobile friendly to view in your browser and also downloadable as a PDF.
- You'll embark on your trip and can be in touch with me for any help needed during your travels that pertains to the trip in general and the bookings I made for you. The same applies if anything needs to be resolved after your trip.
