How it Works

Moving to another country is exciting — and also overwhelming.
This page is here to help you understand whether working together makes sense for you, and if so, what the process actually looks like.

There’s no one “right” way to move to Valencia. But there are smarter, calmer, and far less stressful ways to do it.

Who is this for?

Working with LaVidalencia is a great fit if you:

  • Are planning a real move to Valencia (not just dreaming about it)

  • Want to avoid costly mistakes around housing, schools, visas, and timing

  • Are moving with kids, pets, or complex logistics

  • Prefer guidance from someone who has done this herself

  • Want clarity, confidence, and a plan — not just information

You don’t need to have everything figured out yet.
You do need to be open to guidance and honest about your goals, budget, and timeline.

Common DIY Mistakes

Most clients come to me after encountering at least one of these:

  • Falling in love with a neighborhood that doesn’t match their daily life

  • Renting a home too quickly (or waiting too long)

  • Choosing the wrong school type — not just the wrong school

  • Misunderstanding visa timelines or requirements

  • Underestimating how long everything takes

  • Trying to piece together advice from Facebook, forums, and blogs

None of these mistakes mean you’ve “failed” — they just make the move harder than it needs to be.

What working together looks like

There’s no one-size-fits-all process, but here’s what most clients experience:

  1. Clarity first
    We start by understanding your family, priorities, constraints, and timeline.

  2. Strategy, not just answers
    Instead of reacting to problems, we plan for them — housing, schools, visas, neighborhoods, and logistics all work together.

  3. Support where it matters most
    Some clients need end-to-end relocation coaching. Others need focused help at key decision points. We choose the level of support that fits you.

  4. Confidence moving forward
    The goal isn’t to eliminate uncertainty — it’s to help you make good decisions despite it.
