Hi there! I’m Patri!
Hi! I’m Patri, the traveler behind Spanish Nomad, a blog dedicated to sustainable travel and conscious exploration.
My passion for understanding cultures began during student exchanges across Europe, and it grew into a lifelong commitment to travelling responsibly.
Since leaving Spain in 2011, I’ve lived and travelled around the world, learning firsthand how small choices can make a big difference for local communities and the planet.
I share those experiences here to help you travel meaningfully — one destination at a time.
