Your Host
Hi, I’m Stacey—a physician, health coach, and lifelong adventure traveler. I’ve been to Spain many times, and Andalucía has always held a special place in my heart.
I first visited as a young adult, and years later returned with my son to Ronda after reading Ferdinand—the story takes place there. I also got to visit when my daughter was studying abroad in Seville. But it was during a recent research trip for this journey that I really connected with the soul of Andalucía. I hiked through dramatic limestone landscapes, wandered peaceful whitewashed villages, took in unforgettable Flamenco, and stood in awe inside the Alhambra. I’m usually most moved by nature, but that man-made masterpiece left me speechless.
Along the way, I met some incredible locals—like Flavio, whose vineyard is tucked inside a 17th-century church. We’ll visit him, too.
This trip is for women who want to travel with purpose, curiosity, and connection. I’d love for you to join me on this special adventure through Andalucía.
Here’s a short video with clips from my research trip to Andalucía.
It offers a glimpse of the landscapes, culture, and charm that inspired this adventure. The music in the background was recorded live from street musicians performing just outside the Alhambra.
“The big question is whether you’re going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure.”
Joseph Campbell

Testimonials
-Beverly Mehl
This is my first experience going on a trip through Lifestyle Health with Stacey, and it certainly won’t be my last! She is very enthusiastic about what she does and researches all the details of the trip to ensure that every little detail is covered. She goes above and beyond to create a meaningful and memorable experience.
When we started our adventures many of us were strangers to each other, and we ended up forming friendships, sharing feelings, many laughs, and memories that will last a lifetime."
-Odette Limosnero, MD
Wow! This is the way to travel! Stacey thought of E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G. The best part of the trip was having no decisions to make except for what clothes I wanted to wear for the day, and what food I wanted from the menu. The meals, the lodging, transportation, timing, weather considerations, time for bonding and sharing, hiking - everything was so well thought out. We now have to decide what trip we want to do next with Stacey…. ?!?!
