2025

A week on Faial. What a beautiful island, with every convenience. Carin, in consultation with me, showed me every part of the island. We had dinner together occasionally and took a day trip to Pico by ferry. I also hiked a long-distance hike solo for two days, providing all the necessary knowledge. Carin brought me to the startingpoint and after the trail back to my apartment. A wonderful week. She organized everything for me, with no obligation. Plenty of freedom and a friendly atmosphere. How wonderful to really get to know this island in a week. Perhaps in the future I'll be able to do the same thing with the same wonderful person on another Azorean island.

An island where you can still discover, and be surprised by the beautiful green nature!
