I’ve always been the one planning the route, finding the restaurant, checking if somewhere is really worth the detour and making sure the whole trip flows.

Now, that instinct has become my job: helping people travel through Spain with more confidence, less noise and a much more local point of view.

I’m from Madrid, and Spain is the place I know by heart.

Hola, I’m Nat

Founder & Lead Travel Designer

I’m from Madrid, and travel has always been a huge part of my life.

Over the years, I’ve lived in different countries, travelled to more than 30, and somehow always ended up being the person who plans the route, finds the restaurant, checks if a place is actually worth the detour, and makes sure everything fits together.

But Spain has always been the place I know best, not just because I’m from here, but because I’ve spent years travelling through it, coming back to the same places, meeting local people and discovering how different every region can feel.

How Atypical started

In 2022, my partner and I moved to Australia for what was meant to be just a few months.

Being so far from home made me realise how much I missed my culture, my roots and the way we live in Spain.

Atypical started as a way to stay connected to that. First through traditional Spanish cooking classes, then through travel recommendations, and eventually through the guides and planning services we offer today.

What began as a way to feel closer to home became a way to share it.
