Testimonials
★★★★★
Traveling with Josie through Traveling in Spanglish was truly an unforgettable experience! From the very start, she was so organized and thoughtful—providing helpful details about the climate, what to pack, and especially what shoes to bring (a must when you’re walking through Rome!). Everything ran so smoothly, from navigating airports to getting around the city, that I could just relax and enjoy every moment.
Josie’s passion for history shines through—she knew exactly what I needed to see and experience in Italy. She also made traveling with food allergies easy, making sure I knew what I could safely eat. I ate so well the entire trip!
The transition from Rome to Abruzzo was seamless, and once there, I was completely blown away. The views were spectacular! I stayed at Josie’s Airbnb, Casa Querencia, and it was incredible—truly a home away from home. The views were jaw-dropping, and having a kitchen to cook my own meals was such a bonus. There were beautiful parks and great restaurants nearby, too.
Josie’s expertise, warmth, and attention to detail made this trip one of the best experiences of my life. I can’t wait to travel with her again!

Earlier this year, I got to check off the number one thing on my bucket list, which was a visit to Spain!!!
Thanks to Joana, I was able to have the experience of a lifetime, with my first international trip.
Joana planned and coordinated every detail of our trip, from having the right suitcase to navigating through the layovers at the London airport with ease, as well at our arrival in Barcelona. She provided with information about all the best places to visit while there. I got to experience all the three forms of transportation while touring the City of Barcelona.
We visited many historic locations, walked on the beach, tasted new foods and I even got to fulfill my dream of attending an authentic Flamenco show and stepping into the Sagrada Familia (which was breathtaking).
It was all incredible!
I was so thankful to have been able to enjoy an amazing city that I have dreamed about since childhood . And with zero stress!
