Welcome to that spanish life!
The team of TSL contributors and I are passionate about sharing lifestyle and travel inspiration to women who see see physical exploration as a tool for personal growth and transformation.
Core to our principles is the notion that traveling or living in a new country should be thoughtful, exciting, and a way to explore ourselves. To travel is to grow, and it’s also a privilege. That’s why we also support the local communities and highlight small, local businesses whenever we can.
So, whether you’re just dreaming of Spain, have moved here recently, or have lived here for years, check in often. That Spanish Life is for every woman looking for fun & adventure and who may also be on her own personal journey.
We hope the information we share helps enrich your travels, your life,
and your home!
Hola, i'm trisha!

AND SPAIN SUPER-FAN!
-Trisha
Inspired by the amazing women who have helped me adjust to my new life as a U.S. expat in Spain, I started That Spanish Life as a resource for other women who are beginning their journey in this amazing country.
"And so she decided to start
living the life she'd imagined."

Astrid Provénce (She/Her) is an experienced global facilitator, coach, speaker, and performance artist. She is the co-founder and sensual embodiment coach at Into The Boudoir (ITB) and has spent over 8 years studying personal development, leadership, and spiritual principles. She has worked internationally, having developed and led workshops in over 10 countries.
Having studied with The International Coach Federation (ICF), Landmark Worldwide, and with great teachers like the late Shakti Malan at Shakti Shiva Academy and Mary Morrisey at The Brave Thinking Institute, she has honed her skills in holding groups through deep processes.
Like many women, Astrid grew up in a culture that did not guide, celebrate, or support her sexual development. She embarked on her own sexual awakening in her early thirties that helped her shed layers of shame and disconnection from herself. This led her on a journey to find her passion as a guide to support women in their own re-membering of their pure and empowering erotic nature.
