Contacting Jackie about applying for our Spanish visas was the best decision.

We have had an unpredictable and frustrating experience on every level while trying to legally move to Sevilla. Jackie was incredibly professional and helpful. She gave us clear directions, helpful introductions and guidance throughout the VISA application process. Additionally, each year when I renew my VISA, I renew my gratitude for Jackie and her organizational skills; she has helped us realize and maintain our dream of living in Spain.

We would have been lost without Jackie’s guidance.

There are so many aspects to moving one's family abroad that it can be overwhelming just to think about. The various steps, forms, copies, notaries, etc. as one works through two countries' bureaucracies is a road besot by potholes, u-turns & dead-ends. Jackie was able to organize everything into concise buckets for us so that we were able to visualize the tasks we had to do, make it have logical sense, and gave us the confidence that we could do it. The end result was that we were totally prepared without feeling like it was a ton of work. We didn't have one hang-up. Jackie pays strict attention to detail so that there is nothing that one could encounter during the process that would trip up or delay it and she is very energetic and driven which keeps one on task and gives confidence that they can and will make this adventure happen. The Wells Family, North Carolina

I was grateful to have been connected with Jackie.

My daughter is studying abroad and is attending the same school as Jackie's son. I corresponded with Jackie and she provided me with valuable insights about the school. When my daughter and I arrived in Spain, Jackie and I agreed to meet at the Open House at my daughter's new school, and Jackie introduced me to a number of expat parents and their children, many of whom are now my daughter's closest friends at school. Jackie helped me make connections that I otherwise wouldn't have been able to find, and having those made it easier for me to help my daughter navigate her cultural transition.
