Our epic trip through Spain in 2023 spanned a whopping 17-days. We spent months watching YouTube videos, reading blogs, and scrolling instagram to put together the best trip possible.

Now, I’m giving all my knowledge to you! We started in Barcelona, then went to Seville, Granada, Cordoba, and Madrid (where we day tripped to Toledo and Segovia).

That’s a wrap for our epic 17-day journey. It’s not an exaggeration to say this trip changed the trajectory of Brian’s and my life. Not just because we got engaged on this trip, but because we’d never tackled an international trip like this before. We learned so much about each other, about ourselves, about the world, and what we want our future to look like.

We have many more plans for future international travel, including traveling back to Spain to have our wedding ceremony!
