Client Testimonials
Hotel Booking in Spain
Having Amalia’s assistance with booking a hotel for our trip was the best choice. She provided a few hotels to pick from and broke down what each had to offer for comparison. It was so much better using her services then blindly picking one myself. She provided hotels that were safe, had good reviews, and were close to the things we wanted to do in Girona. She was very quick to respond to my questions and a dream to work with! Hotel Bestprice was the perfect hotel for my stay thanks to Amalia.
Couple’s First Visit to Denia, Spain
We travel a lot and we are quite particular about where we stay. Amalia (our travel advisor) was recommended to us and she really impressed us. She knew exactly what we were looking for from our trip and her local knowledge was superb. We don’t think we would have got as much out of our trip without Amalia’s services.
Spain Summer Visit to Segovia & Oviedo
I loved our trip to Spain! Amalia was so organized and our hotels and apartment were so perfect! And comfortable. All the details were very well planned out. Our time to explore the cities and ancient cathedrals were so special. Spending time with the family was precious and I will remember the trip and time we spent together forever! Amalia was so helpful getting us our train tickets and booking unforgettable sites! Her planning and making arrangements for all our wonderful dinners made everything so easy and delicious. I will recommend her services to all my friends and family.
Spain Road Trip in Asturias, Basque Country, & Catalan Pyrenees
Amalia was a pleasure to work with. She was very responsive and took care of all our travel needs efficiently and effectively. We will definitely work with Amalia again and also will recommend her to our friends.
Moving to Spain Consultation
My wife and I had an extraordinary opportunity to consult with Move to Traveling for 30 minutes via Google Meet video (although other chatting options like WhatsApp, etc. are available). We discussed our initial thoughts/concerns for a scouting trip within coastal Spain and France along the Mediterranean in search of a location that’s a good fit for us in retirement living as expats.
Amalia, the owner, is so positive, a joy to work with, and she made us feel like we were on the right path – which was reassuring. She was also refreshingly forthright in saying she wasn’t super familiar with, but was aware of, one area we are interested in visiting. However, she was certain in her abilities to attain sound and reliable contacts and information that would help us have a positive experience in that location. This spoke volumes to us because she was humble enough to admit not being fully aware of a location but simultaneously confident in her ability to get more than what we’d need to make our visit to the location a good one.
We got great information and direction during the live video chat and then received (via a Google Drive docs email link) a recap of the conversation providing additional information that will not only be key to living in Spain but some of which can be used anywhere outside the USA (e.g. banking options, links to additional resources, etc.). All things we can readily use – even now while living in the USA.
With Amalia’s many contacts and talents, while also being a certified Fora Travel Advisor, we’re confident she’ll be able to meet our future needs in procuring trip plans, reservations for hotels, restaurant recommendations, etcetera. She even talked about an immersion experience that happens with locals in her area that sounded right up our alley and we’ll be sure to book our trip to coincide with the gathering(s).
If you fall across Move To Traveling online, follow them. Now! Your initial interest in seeing beautiful scenery will be met with learning tips about and getting links on daily living in Spain (Tesla Taxis in Madrid, rental options in Valencia, IG Live events, connections to other expats, restaurants, hiking locations, public transport, etc.). The longer you follow them, the more your intrigue of living in Spain and using Move To Traveling’s services will grow.
In the end, we are beyond pleased with the consultation and would highly recommend booking one, establishing a relationship with Amalia’s company, and taking advantage of their vast knowledge and travel services.
Spain Family Trip to Madrid & the Costa Blanca
The support provided in planning the trip, facilitating booking of the places, guiding in every step and monitoring that all requirements were met for a successful trip was outstanding! In a very short time we visited landmark historical places and enjoy the best restaurants of Madrid, Valencia, and Denia.

Amalia is so friendly and knowledgeable! She provided amazing resources that were tailored to my specific goals, and lifestyle, and made me feel more prepared for my travels to Spain. Highly recommend.
Surf Trip to Spain & Portugal
Integrity hard work and commitment are things that I look for in a travel agent. Amalia was all of that and more. I highly recommend getting her as your travel agent for your upcoming trips. She goes out of her way to ensure you are prepared and everything goes smoothly when traveling and throughout your trip. Not only did she organize my vacation, she took her time to give me many recommendations on where/what to eat, where to visit to make sure I get a full emersión experience of the Spanish culture. In addition she went above and beyond when I had issues with lost luggage. She was there every step of the way to help me fight and resolve my issue and even reached out to the airlines and travel insurance to make sure I was properly taken care of. I will definitely be using her services again in the future!
Moving to Spain Consultation
Amalia is an outstanding advisor for anyone interested in traveling/moving to Spain. She has a wealth of recourses available for just about any situation. She is also very personable and easy to work with. Maria and I highly recommend her.
Denia Meet & Greet
We were absolutely delighted with our experience. Amalia and Eric were a fantastic source of information and had so much to share in terms of useful resources tailored exactly to our requirements. So much local knowledge cannot be underestimated, especially for people considering a big move to Spain and this was an invaluable meeting for us. It was followed up by an excellent summary and briefing document filled with even more information and links to useful websites, contacts etc. We have already used lots of the recommended resources. I would also like to add that Amalia and Eric are a charming and lovely couple who were so easy to chat with and we very much look forward to being neighbors and meeting with them again!

Amalia listened to my needs, questions, and aspirations and provided excellent recommendations. I feel very lucky that I found her. I highly recommend her services to anyone considering visiting or moving to Spain.

I highly recommend Move to Traveling to anyone who wants to travel with ease while receiving world class support from a genuine travel expert.

- Additional services are desired that are not within the scope of service.
Trip Start Date:

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 and experience, and to support a small business.
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.
