I grew up on this island and know the island inside out. I went to school in Madeira and then studied Hospitality Management in the UK. I love my island and will help you feel like a local. I speak English, Portuguese, Swedish, Spanish and French. Ask my about my favourite local restaurants, walks, things to do and things to see.
