About the author

My name is Stefanie, and I invite you to discover Madeira with curiosity, a spirit of adventure, and an eye for the extraordinary. With a background in geography and biology, I combine my love of nature and exploration to not only discover — but truly understand.

As I speak fluent Portuguese, I experience Madeira and her people in a very personal way. In this blog and my guidebook, I share not only some of my favourite photos that capture the island’s beauty and diversity, but also fascinating facts about various aspects of Madeira and personal stories from locals.

Enjoy!
