About Mikaela

Seven years in Valencia, and counting

Hi, my name is Mikaela. I moved to Valencia with my husband and three children over seven years ago. I specialize in helping families complete the necessary processes to move to Valencia, get settled, enroll kids in school, and handle the other steps along the way, so you can enjoy this new experience and feel at home.

When we arrived, our kids (3, 7, and 9) entered the local public school in our neighborhood. It was a great way to integrate, make friends, and learn Spanish. We worked with a relocation assistant to help us navigate the process, and it was an investment that really helped us launch successfully.

Our original plan was a one-year sabbatical. We fell in love with Valencia and chose to stay. I would love to help others navigate that same journey, especially families with some additional steps ahead of them.
