Well deserved relaxing moment and dinner in the evening sun after our Sunday hike adventure 😜This was a good foretaste for our first time camping next week.And not just any camping! Nope, we're going to sleep on our own car with a @topotents roof tent 😁 Very excited and I wonder what I will think of it...At least moments like this I can get used to. ☺️#Saudalicious

Home Sweet Home! 🏡I love traveling and trips

Home Sweet Home! 🏡I love traveling and trips and don't know the feeling of homesickness. But there are always things I appreciate even more after coming home from a trip. One of the beautiful things of traveling I guess.My own bed, shower, our nice little conscious routines, the higher temperatures and the surroundings with uncountable paths to hike and run (without the crowdedness). 💛These are the things I missed the most about our new home in Portugal during our trip to Madeira 🤗What do you miss the most about your home when you're away for a while?#Saudalicious

"Is it all really that great since you moved to Po

"Is it all really that great since you moved to Portugal?" 🤔[NL in de comments]I can say that here in Portugal I feel much happier, more free and more myself 💛. This has not only to do with the place, but also with how we have learned more and more about each other and ourselves in recent years, also in the Netherlands. And with this we are increasingly able to shape our own ideal life. And that life just fits so much more in Portugal than in the Netherlands.But of course you take yourself with you when you move or emigrate🧳. I take with me my enormous sadness about my deceased father, my migraine (which is fortunately a loooot less) and oh, my chaotic ADD brain has also moved with me 😅.And there are also new challenges, precisely because we have emigrated; worries about my mother and missing everyone I 'left behind' in the Netherlands, the frustration of not being able to fully and properly express myself in another language (and of the lack of discipline to learn), the arranging "stress", the challenge of making new friends, and much more.Why am I sharing this? 🤷 You mainly see happy pictures and stories here. And most of the time it is all positive, but not always, as with everybody. And I don't show that often, not because I don't want to show the rest, but because I feel less enthusiastic to create content about this. The last thing I want is to show an unfair picture. So is it really all that great, now that we live in Portugal? Yes and noAnd that's totally fine. 💛#Saudalicious

LUNCH TIP MADEIRA 😋Hard to pick one ... But our favorite place for lunch in Funchal - Madeira was on our last day at this beautiful paradise called Prima Caju. Beauty everywhere! From the dishes to the interior and the outside too (swipe to last pic to see the beautiful facade).Everything is fresh and so super tasty and they even make their own Kombucha (which tasted very nice!). I loved the way they make their bowls not just a collection of ingredients with a sauce, but a very nice well seasoned and balanced dishOh and those desserts...... 🥰🤫📍@prima_caju, Funchal - MadeiraSave this post in your "must-visit Madeira" folder 💌#Saudalicious

Best dinner experience in Madeira! 🤩I love restaurants with a story and where everything is just right on point. Places where the food is creative, well combined, super tasty and comes in perfect sized portions. 😍 Where the service is perfect and feels at ease. Not too formal, but with a lot of attention and sincere kindness.🤗 And last but not least; where you can feel the good atmosphere; a warm and nicely decorated place with people who obviously love and are proud of what they are doing.💛As you might know I love going out for dinner and try new things, and I notice that places that tick all boxes are very rare. 😅But 2 days ago I was lucky to found one!👌🏽 We were invited to try out this new restaurant in Funchal. The chef Júlio Pereira is a son of butchers, a grandson of farmers, and is born in a village surrounded by the sea. After AKUA (mainly fish dishes) and KAMPO (mainly meat), both kitchens runned by Júlio Pereira, it was time to dignify the great farmer his grandfather was. So there was KOUVE (cabbage in Pt): A restaurant with a focus on veggies!🌿From left to right (swipe ⬅️)
1. Homemade bread with olives marinated in orange and butter with smoked garlic 🍞🧄
2. Beetroot carpaccio with cottage cheese and cheese from the Azores. 🌸
3. Watermelon tataki 🍉
4. Mushrooms, yam and zabaione 🍄
5. Eggplant canelloni 🍆
6. Fake beef wellington 🍖🌿
7. Caramelized oninions with chocolate and ginger (super creative and surprisingly good!) 🧅🍮🍫Which dish would you like to try? 😍💬⤵️Maybe no need to mention but: definitely a must visit when you are in Funchal. Save this post for your next trip! 💌📍@kouve.restaurante - FunchalWhat is important for you when you go out for a nice dinner?#Saudalicious

Today our very last day on this beautiful "floating garden" called Madeira 💛❤️🏵️🌺It was a beautiful experience and I will share about it some more the coming days when we're back on the mainland of Portugal.Usuallly when I was on a trip to Portugal, I never wanted to go home. But now, we both are excited to go, and that's not because of this destination 🤗. It's still feels weird but so good that now we can call Portugal our 'home'. 😍🇵🇹Today we are visiting the botanical garden of Funchal and enjoying some good food for the last time.Excited to go to Madeira too? I'll collect all tips in the story highlights and will make one or more Instagram Guides about it. Go check my last posts and save them if you don't want to forget!😘#Saudalicious

Size doesn't matter ?! 🍌
EN below🇳🇱Madeira exporteerde met trots zijn bananen door heel Europa, maar helaas niet meer. Er wordt gesproken over een ‘Bendy Banana Law’ van de Europese Unie waarin de kenmerken (lengte, curve, etc.) van eennte verkopen banaan worden beschreven. De bananen die hier groeien zijn korter en minder krom. Hierom worden ze dus niet meer buiten Portugal verkocht. Op het vaste land van Portugal nog wel (die zijn dan ook 3x zo duur dan de bananen van ver).Wij hebben ze hier al vaak gegeten! Ze zijn heerlijk. Bij ons verblijf @quintasaraiva hebben ze ook eigen bananenbomen en mogen we de rijpe bananen zelf plukken om lekker vers te eten. Duurzamer én leuker kan niet 😍👌🏽Zo bizar dat er zulke regels bestaan en we daardoor massaal bananen van veel verder weg halen, toch?Heb jij wel eens een banaan rechtstreeks uit de boom gegeten? 🍌🌴#Saudalicious

#Consciousliving🇬🇧 Size doesn't matter?!Madeira proudly exported its bananas all over Europe, but unfortunately not anymore. There is talk of a 'Bendy Banana Law' of the European Union that describes the characteristics (length, curve, etc.) of a banana that can be sold. The bananas that grow here are shorter and less bended. This is why they are no longer sold outside Portugal.But luckily they are still available on the mainland of Portugal (they are 3 times more expensive than the bananas from far away). We have eaten them here many times! They are delicious.At our stay @quintasaraiva they also have their own banana trees and we can pick the ripe bananas ourselves to eat fresh. It can't be more sustainable and more fun! 😍👌🏽I think it's bizarre such rules exist and that we get bananas from much further away, isn't it? Have you ever eaten a banana straight from the tree?🍌🌴PS: use code saudalicious to get €50 off on your booking at Quinta da Saraiva (min. 4 nights)

Levadas of Madeira 💦Walking along a levada is

Levadas of Madeira 💦Walking along a levada is a nice way to discover the island and often leads to beautiful places. ⛰️ There are a lot of 'marked' levada hikes.The “levadas” are channels of water with a gentle slope originally created to transport the water of the north to the south of the island where the climate is drier, with more population and plantations. Especially for the sugar cane and vineyards (for the delicious Madeira wine 🍷)Currently, the total network of levadas is around 1,400 kms spread throughout the island.📍This one we did yesterday; PR 18 levada do Rei.
5.3 km (one way, so 10.6km)#Saudalicious

Remote workingThe first week of our trip to Made

Remote workingThe first week of our trip to Madeira passed SO fast! 😮 This is our first time we combine traveling with remote working. We work three evenings a week as quit smoking coaches (Dennis also does PT in these hours and I do a little more, depending on collabs ad other things I want to do for Saudalicious). Actually it works great for us! Since it's only a small part of the day, it's easy to stay in the holiday vibe. 🌴 And going our for dinner after work is a great way to let go of it immediately 😜We just have to make sure that we have a suitable place to work (stable internet, enough space, prefarable a table and different rooms, so we don't bother each other). 👩‍💻 The last week we stayed at @apartamento_da_emma in Machico and that was perfect! You'll probably understand why I claimed the livingroom with this view 😏.I love to switch between B&B's and apartments. Love the breakfasts and the coziness of a B&B but I also like privacy, space, freedom of having a kitchen and so on. This apartment had everything we need, nothing less, nothing more. And for a great price (around €30-40/night, depending on the season). It's just 5 mins from the airport and a great location to explore the island from. You can watch the planes taking off and landing from really close, which is quite nice but sometimes a little noisy too 😅They're not on booking websites yet, so you can send a DM to Emma when you're interested in a stay.⏭️ One week to go on this beautiful island.🏝️ Our next stay will be in the North of the island; São Jorge.Have you ever worked on vacation?#Saudalicious

Pico Ruivo - Madeira 😍The highest peak of Madeira
Yesterday we did a little climb to the highest peak of Madeira. The hike started at Achada do Teixeira (PR 1.2) and is around 5,6km back and forth. Not very hard but quite some ups and downs.After we enjoyed this stunning view we did a little bit of the PR1 which goes to Pico Arieiro (this one is officially closed but still available and around 12 km's when you do back and forth). More and more amazing views over there 🏞️🌄!The thing with views is that it is impossible to capture the beauty on photo. But on the other hand I think this is a good thing. You will be amazed when visiting in real life. Even after seeing 10 pictures of it 😆What was the most beautiful view you ever saw?🌿 Cooling comfortable and sustainable outfit from @ironrootsathletics.

The same route, but every time a different view.I feel blessed to live surrounded by so much beautiful nature and to see it beautifully changing with seasons. I really loved spring and all it's colours! But in fact every season has something beautiful.Now summer's on its way and everything becomes less colourful and dryer. But yesterday we got surprised by a field of these wonderful purple flowers 💜(anyone who knows the name of this flower?)In fact, if you look closer, nature changes not only with the seasons, but every single day, every single minute.🕵🏼‍♀️ And so do we (because ofcourse we ARE nature).What I learn during these hikes and runs is to embrace my own changes, go where it flows and notice the beauty in all kinds of me 💛Sustainable and natural shorts and top (too hot to wear it 😜) @ironrootsathletics .
