Excellent communicator. Quick to understand my needs and queries. I related well to Christina. Gave me great tips about how to navigate the system.
We had an excellent consultation with Christina and give her highest recommendation if you are researching a property purchase and/or move to Spain. She is warm, thoughtful, thorough in her preparation for a consult session—and best of all: Christina is an agile, creative thinker who generates fresh ideas in dialogue. During our conversation, we gained critical information that contributed to a major shift in our planning and awareness of options. Much appreciation to Christina for her expertise and time during the holiday season!
We highly recommend Christina for Spanish visa advice. She was an absolute expert, blending deep factual knowledge with impressive honesty about the process. The ease of booking and her outstanding availability made the entire consultation stress-free. We left feeling much more informed and clear on the steps required for our decision. Thank you, Christina!
Christina has been a great help with situating the type of visa I'd be applying for, along with the ins and outs of everything I needed to have prepared. I had many questions after hours of research, and she definitely helped to put things in a clear way to digest and move forward with the process. Christina was kind enough to even reach back out afterwards with emails and follow up information to ensure I felt comfortable with the process. The step by step break down was incredibly helpful and allowed me to have everything ready for my new chapter. She also had some great resources to share to assist a smooth transition! I would highly recommend talking to Christina if you have any questions about visas and moving to Spain! It can be a stressful move, but our chats and her knowledge definitely lifted some weight off my shoulders!
If ChatGPT were a real person with on-the-ground experience in Spain, Christina would be it.
I had already spoken to a lawyer and understood the digital nomad visa process, but Christina helped me get unstuck on the real-life parts—things you can’t always Google. For me, €100 was more than worth it.
We didn’t just rehash the basics. She dug into the details I was unsure about and brought up things I hadn’t considered—like needing to be in Spain at least a month after visa approval for the fingerprinting and TIE process. She even suggested some Spain locations I hadn’t thought of—less obvious, but potentially a much better fit for my family.
She’s American, which was a huge bonus—she just gets it. She followed up with a tailored Word document summarizing everything we discussed, plus ideas, reminders, and even resources to help me talk to my kids about the move.
It honestly felt like having a personal relocation coach. I left feeling supported, clear, and back on track

Christina is an invaluable resource! She is a superb consultant about all things related to moving to Spain, from efficient visa strategies to the possible tax implications of residency options. She is extremely well informed, well prepared, and well connected. In fact, I found her multi-faceted expertise so instructive that I am booking a further session to drill down on a couple of alternative scenarios. She's saving me untold time and trouble, while giving me peace of mind as I juggle the myriad components of a cross-global relocation. (And she's simply a delight to work with.) Highly recommended!

We had a video consult with Christina and she really helped us get our ducks in a row ahead of our move to Spain. Before our call she reviewed the info we provided and she was prepared with information regarding our specific situation. She followed up with a email recapping key points of our meeting along with links to the appropriate sites we need. She is an excellent starting point for your move to Spain and will let you know how to prepare, and what you will need to do. And she is friendly too!
