HOLA!

Being an American and having lived in Madrid for more than half of my life, I have an understanding and sensitivity from both sides of the ocean.

Let’s design your visit and hit the streets together…from Madrid to the rest of Spain. With Gather To Travel, I can help create your unique trip, offering tailored tours with immersive experiences rooted in Spanish traditions, including guided family tours, as well as tours for couples, friends, and solo travelers seeking their own adventure.

After moving to Spain for graduate school to study Spanish language, literature, history, and teaching methods, I fell in love with the city of Madrid. Over the years, I’ve taught English as a second language, written for several travel books, and guided and trained tour guides for Rick Steves Europe for nearly two decades.
