Who's behind escapas?

Hi, I’m Julie! ☀️

I’m a Belgian expat living in Spain since 2018 — first in Valencia, and now in Tenerife, where I currently live.

The sunshine, the language, the landscapes and the slower pace of life quickly convinced me to settle here for good.

I originally studied Contemporary History (another passion of mine) before moving into tourism and later, the digital world.

Today, I divide my time between my travel blogs, Escapas and Explore-Canaries, and my work as a web designer and SEO specialist at Studio Marlie.

Why I created Escapas

I launched Escapas to bring together everything I love: writing, traveling, and helping others plan their trips.

My goal? To show you an authentic, diverse, and accessible Spain, far from clichés.

Here, I share my itineraries, practical tips, travel advice, and personal experiences across the different regions of Spain.

What you’ll find here

  • Complete travel guides by region
  • Tips tested in real life, straight from the field
  • Ideas for places to stay and things to do
  • My honest opinion on what I try
  • A few insider expat tips
  • And direct links to trusted partners to make your bookings easier
