Imagine Starring in Your Own Romantic Comedy — Only This Time, It’s Real Life

Valencia, Spain – Imagine waking up and being the main character in your own romantic comedy — strolling through sun-soaked streets, sharing laughs over tapas, doing something that scares you and falling in love in one of Europe’s most romantic cities. Thanks to Heart Rocket, international matchmakers who bring couples together from across the world, now you can.

Ignite Tours by Heart Rocket is a five-day romantic adventure set in Valencia, Spain, designed for couples who have already connected through Heart Rocket’s exclusive matchmaking program and are ready to meet in person for the first time.

Each all-inclusive tour is carefully crafted around Heart Rocket’s unique Ignite Algorithm — a proven sequence of emotions, including excitement, fear, trust, and romance, designed to help couples bond naturally and deeply.

“Falling in love isn’t just about looks, values, and shared life goals,” says Luba Selezneva, co-founder of Heart Rocket, with 15 years of matchmaking experience. “It’s about going on a journey of emotions together, in the right order. That’s why we created the Ignite Algorithm — it’s based on real science about how people fall in love and form strong relationships.”

Scientific studies support this approach. For example, the famous Dutton & Aron bridge experiment (1974) showed that when people share exciting or even scary experiences, they feel more attracted to each other. Research by Aron et al. (2000) shows that couples who try new and adventurous things together build stronger connections, and Aron’s “36 Questions” study (1997) reveals how sharing personal experiences and vulnerabilities can fast-track intimacy.

Another key part of Ignite Tours is creating what Heart Rocket calls “emotional synchronicity” — when two people feel the same strong emotion at the same time, like excitement, fear, or joy. This shared experience naturally brings people closer. Scientists have studied this effect and found that sharing strong emotions helps build trust and deepen connection.

The success of Ignite Tours is already clear. One recent couple, who had met briefly before and felt a small spark, decided to try an Ignite Tour to see if that spark could grow. Over five unforgettable days, they shared powerful experiences, faced fears together, and built beautiful memories.

By the end, they not only reignited their spark — they had the time of their lives, and six months on, they are now planning their future together.

Every part of Ignite Tours is planned like a romantic movie — from sunset views with champagne and chocolates on private balconies to surprise moments designed to build trust and intimacy. Couples are picked up at the airport and guided throughout their entire trip, with Luba and co-founder Stryker Joyce acting as personal wingman and wingwoman, supporting them every step of the way.

Currently held exclusively in Valencia, Heart Rocket plans to expand Ignite Tours to other cities worldwide in the near future.

Heart Rocket also publishes weekly videos on their YouTube channel, offering advice and sharing real stories from their matchmaking clients.
