MEET Tristina, YOUR Spain Travel Agent
Spain Travel Planner, Spain Specialist, and Ex-Spanish Teacher
Hi, I’m Tristina.
I’ve been traveling to Spain for over 20 years, and it’s the one place I keep coming back to.
My connection to Spain started when I studied abroad in Salamanca, and from there it grew into something much bigger. I went on to spend a gap year living in Valencia, work at a summer camp in Cádiz, and travel extensively throughout the country — through solo trips, road trips, city breaks, and everything in between.
Out of the 35+ countries I’ve visited, Spain has always stood out as the place that feels most like home.
From Teaching to Travel Planning
Before starting Love at First Adventure, I spent several years as a Spanish teacher and earned my Master’s in Foreign Language Education.
That background gave me a deep understanding of the language, culture, and regional differences that shape each experience in Spain.
But it wasn’t until I walked the Camino de Santiago that everything shifted.
That journey pushed me to rethink what I wanted — and ultimately led me to build a career around travel, storytelling, and helping others experience Spain in a more meaningful way.
How I Approach Travel
I don’t believe in rushed itineraries or trying to see everything in one trip.
The experiences that stay with you are the ones that feel intentional. These are the trips where the pace makes sense, the places connect, and you actually have time to enjoy where you are.
That’s how I approach every trip I plan.
What That Means for You
When you work with me, you’re not just getting a list of recommendations.
You’re getting a trip designed by someone who has:
- Lived in Spain and traveled it extensively
- Studied the language and culture in depth
- Seen firsthand what works and what doesn’t
My goal is to help you experience Spain in a way that feels effortless, well-paced, and truly memorable without having to figure it all out on your own!
