We trusted Lux Nomads LLC with a considerable amount of money because they advertised a "seamless" relocation and "white glove" service. Like others, we were willing to pay for the inflated cost because we needed an easy button for at least one part of a big life transition. Like others, we were charmed by Michelle's bubbly personality. Like others, we believed the lies and promises, and should have seen through the thin veil of BS that they constantly spout. Aside from a couple of consultations (the type that would typically be complimentary or low cost), it was apparent that there wasn't an option for us. For nearly a year, we watched Michelle pitch offer after offer, open up new countries, and no one ever talked to us about pivoting despite asking multiple times for options. Now we suspect that they didn't want to deliver; they just wanted cash grab after cash grab. The whole situation felt more and more like a scam to us. We finally asked for a refund after they closed down the contractual online community. We have written proof that we are owed a refund, but were told that other clients had been waiting MONTHS with no refunds (or contracted reimbursements). In other words, "too bad, so sad." There have been crickets since. We're out nearly $23K and feel like schmucks. If you're reading this because you paid but did not receive contractual services, you can: * file a dispute with your credit card company/bank * file a police report where the sale occurred * file a complaint with your attorney general's office * file a complaint with the AZ, FL and WY AG offices (Lux is registered in AZ, require legal filings in FL, and the parent company is Galaxie Holdings LLC in WY) * file a police report in Spain or Portugal (they'll work with Interpol) * file a report with IC3 (FBI) for internet crimes * file a report with the Federal Trade Commission via ReportFraud.ftc.gov * file a case with econsumer.gov (they work with international consumer protection bureaus) * leave an honest Trust Pilot review * do NOT sign any kind of termination agreement (you won't get that "partial refund" you're promised - just read others' experiences for that evidence) We do NOT recommend this company or any venture from Michelle Garabito or Paul Eric Nelson. Avoid them at all costs or be prepared to exchange your hard-earned cash for nothing. Run away - far and fast!

STAY AWAY!! These people have owed me over $9000 since December. They were not going to be able to assist us, and decided to issue a partial refund. I have been waiting for the partial refund for almost a year. I plan on seeking legal advice when I return home. This is beyond a misunderstanding at this point. You give lip service and nothing else. I have the receipts, contract, and I have the emails. If your business cannot keep its promises you do not need to be in business.

LuxNomads charges too much. We knew that up front, but we were willing to pay for a “white glove” experience. That was our bad. We paid 1/2 up front. Three weeks in, the meeting with the lawyer confirmed information that the previous 2 meetings with unknowledgeable employees couldn’t clarify. We immediately backed out and requested a refund. Less than a month since our contract was signed had passed. They agreed to a partial refund that should have been returned by Jan 5, 2026. We’re still waiting, and all communication has been completely vague and unhelpful. Michelle, the “CEO” has completely ghosted us through email and all social media. She’s a fraud and planning on taking her business elsewhere to grift money off of more people for no actual service. She should be arrested.

Wish i could make minus 5 star. I want everyone to know, we have made a complaint with the our local police Dept. In Hawai’i, the FBI, Hawai’i DCCA - State AG office, AARP fraud watch 877-908-3360 they walk seniors through the FMCSA and FTC filings. And finally the Policia Nacional (here in Spain) and they will contact the Interpol. They will be contacting the Portugal government because i told them that is where Michelle and Paul have been promoting more of there bullshit. Also, on another note, going down a deep dive. Paul Erik Nelson has a business that he has created investing real estate and marketing called Cr3ate Investments LLC where i believe they are funneling the monies they have stolen from us. This is COMPLETE wire fraud. THEY WILL and ARE going to prison for this ponzi scheme !!! If any of you want to collaberate, please email me. Kpacheco @ me com (Cannot put email ) Also, my relocation manager has not been paid in a very long time and she too, has filed complaint and a statement with her state AG. Michelle told her no one for any reason will ever get there money back. Sooooooo……. this is A LOT ! We have been stuck in Spain for the last month but reached out to Adina (they “hired” her for rental location) and her too, has not been paid. We chose to go with her, because we can trust her. She is very lovely. The lawyer that they had translate our documents, Max, has also been an angel. We have also continued with him , even if we have to pay these people, they know what happened and have morals and ethics!!! Ok…. As we say in Hawai’i … Pau (finished ) rant! I hope to see every single one of you in Spain! Aloha - And a hui hou until we meet- Kristi Pacheco

This company took $17,000 from me and did not provide their services. I believed the lies. I believed in Michelle Garabito but in the end it was a scam. I ended up paying for services again that they didn’t do. So now I’m out even more money. I advise you to do your research.

I would give negative stars if I could. My family trusted her when she first started back in 2024. Instead, she became greedy with success and started focusing on living a luxury lifestyle while not following up with any cases or clients, and my family was ultimately left entirely illegal due to paperwork submitted after the deadline. Which they were aware of and didn’t help ensure was done timely. They then told us to just wait 2 years, and thankfully when regularization happened we started that process but they stopped paying all the lawyers in December 2025 so our case remains unfinished. They are horrific people being sued civilly and pursued for tax liens across the USA. They hide from accountability while continuing to flaunt the wealth they harvested from hundreds of families. I can’t warn people enough to run and if you’ve already been ensnared, please contact your bank for your money back because they do not honor any refunds or even promised reimbursements. Karma can’t come soon enough for them.

I would write a review that explains my experience but so many people before me have done such an amazing job doing it so I will just say read all the rest of the comments. All hype no follow through… After we handed over our $15,000 all I saw on social media was Michelle and Paul living their best lavish lifestyle on my dime. Private jets private yachts trips to expensive homes in Croatia, where they would rent for two or three months that were big enough to House a football team…Buyer beware. You’ve been warned.

We paid $15K for “white glove” assistance securing a visa to Spain, which was supposed to include immigration and tax attorneys, housing assistance, post-approval support, an online community, and more. Partway through our process, attorneys and other subcontractors started disappearing, saying they’d not been paid. She is now also attempting a bait-and-switch on her clients, gutting all services except for basic visa processing yet not refunding money for services not provided. So my advice is: Run, run as fast you can. You can do this on your own for a fraction of the cost.
