Bespoke travel planning for Spain

Spain's abundant history and culture, delectable food, captivating cities and wild landscapes invite endless exploration, no matter your travel vibe or interests. 

Your perfect Spain vacation may be a city break packed with art and architecture…roaming beaches and white villages…or food, wine tours and festivals.

This is where I come in.

I’m Jill, an independent Fora-affiliated travel advisor based in Valencia. I can help you plan and organise your ideal Spain trip, from simple stays to tailored itineraries.

Why use my travel services?

On-the-ground expertise. I’m an expert on Spain and Europe, with top-notch intel on the best accommodation and experiences, saving you planning time and making your trip ultra-special.

A certified Fora-affiliated travel consultant. My affiliation with the US-based host travel agency Fora gives me access to amazing travel partners, meaning I can unlock extras like spa credits, complimentary breakfasts, better check-in/checkout times or room upgrades for my clients at 1000s of hotels.

A professional, secure service. I use Fora’s proprietary booking, invoicing and credit-card payment software for security and transparency.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Initial Consultation: We start with a free, no-commitment call about your travel style and wishes in terms of hotels, experiences, timings and budget.

  2. Customized Itinerary: I research and create an itinerary for your feedback. Or I simply make your hotel bookings through Fora — as you wish. 

  3. Reservations & Support: I make reservations on your behalf and stay available for last-minute issues or changes. You book your flights, I do the rest.

  4. Pricing: Simple accommodation requests are free of charge. For itineraries or extras I charge a planning fee, which we agree at the outset.

    See ‘Services & Fees’ for more details.

About me

Born in Ireland, I lived in seven countries before moving to Valencia in 2021. I’ve travelled extensively in 60+ countries, including the US, Canada, South America and Japan, China, Southern Asia and parts of Africa.

I’ve been a journalist most of my professional life for international media outlets. I love mega-cities, remote places and going beyond the obvious tourist to-dos. An obsession with food — from street stands to fine dining — shapes my travels.
