Slow Travel Madeira: Peaceful Exploration and Stunning Views

It was one of those rare occasions when we went away for a holiday—no plans, just relaxation and sun.

So, where do you go in the middle of winter for a nice, mild, sunny break in Europe?

Madeira, Portugal!

Known for its charming countryside, secluded beaches, and Cristiano Ronaldo, this is a gem of a place for a week’s break—which is precisely what we did!

When travelling, we become guilty of travelling too fast and getting in as many experiences as possible, but this travel is different this week.

I am in Madeira for a relaxing week, enjoying our swimming pool at the accommodation and checking out the island leisurely.

This blog will have great tips and ideas for combining easy travel with relaxation at your own pace.

This came at the end of a seriously fast year of travels, during which we visited over twenty countries and tried to keep my podcasting project going. It was tough going!

I will also share why going on ‘holiday’ is rare for me and why I loved Madeira, some much-needed R&R.

Let’s get stuck in!
