Azores & Madeira, Portugal - the islands that will capture your heart
Join me on an unforgettable journey to the stunning islands of the Azores and Madeira 🌿✨
In this video I share my recent travels with my dad, exploring the lush landscapes, charming towns, and unique attractions of these Portuguese islands. From riding e-bikes around Sete Cidades in Sao Miguel, Azores to experiencing the vibrant culture and breathtaking views of Madeira on the Pico to Pico hike, discover what makes each island special.
These are two places that I 100% will be returning to, as I simply didn't get enough of them when I was there. Whether you’re planning your first trip or debating between these two islands, my insights and tips will help you make the most of your adventure 🌍
If you have any questions about planning your trip, let me know in the comments, I'm happy to help if I can! 🫶🏼

We took a day to hike one of Okinawa's more challenging hikes, the Mt Awadake Loop. It was a steep incline, and hits two peaks over looking the ocean in multiple directions.

The University of Maryland Asian Division was headquartered there and I was able to complete my Bachelor's degree. Scuba dived while there as well... I could go on and on. Such a beautiful experience for me and my family.

    Great overview of Okinawa! My wife is Japanese, so we travel to Japan each year (From U.S.) and visited Okinawa once, basically around around the whole perimeter of the island. What do you think is a good cost estimate to live there, let's say outside of but near Naha. Do you think $1300-$1800 is a good rough estimate for monthly expenses with a 1 bedroom apartment that has a living room and kitchen?
