LOOKING BACK // SUMMER MEMORIES

Walks, picnics and barbecues in the mountains

 Maiata Beach, Porto da Cruz - It's on the Northeastern side of the Island, had my first surfing experience here years ago.

 Jardim do Mar, one of my favorite places in the Island

We stayed here a few days. So beautiful and peaceful.

 Sunset from my house

Me, soaking up the sun or our terrace. You can see my mother's bonsais plants on your left and my collection of stones, corals and shells. For several years it was an obsession of mine, and I still tend to bring home shells or little stones when I visit a new beach I like!
It's almost torture to look at these pictures when it has been raining for almost two weeks now. I think my request for Fall got lost somewhere and Mother Nature never received it. :p

FIRE


This week has been blazing hot in Madeira, and in consequence, fires started all over the island, (you can see on my twitter some pictures of the horror) my beautiful island was burning for 3 days, and I could see one of the fires from my terrace, away from us, thankfully, but it was still a horrible image to see. So far, some people lost their houses, lands, and belongings, and some even lost their animals :(
It was a true tragedy, (they even called it a catastrophe). Firefighters were unstoppable, and if it weren't for them and for brave people who jumped in to help it could have been much worse. There are still some active fires, and I hope that it doesn't spread much. Unfortunately the heat is in the whole country and there are fires in some places of the Portuguese continent too. 
In the year of 2010, in the winter we had a flood catastrophe (due to the constant rain), a lot of people died and some, like now, lost everything, and then another horror of fire in the summer, that destroyed our beautiful natural park. I just hope that karma find us in the middle of the Atlantic and save us from further fires and rains for the rest of eternity, because this is just too much for one little island.
Thanks so much to all of you who heard about it and sent messages and emails asking how I was! I wasn't expecting it and I was very touched, so thanks again to all of you!

VIDEO // MADEIRA ISLAND



So, this is where I live. 
Ok, I don't live above the clouds, but you can have a pretty good perspective of how beautiful my island is! 
(and besides, I have a thing for galaxies and milky ways) :)

This Time Lapse video was produced by Christian Mülhauser, who was on the island for 7 days to make this incredible work!


Have a great sunday dears!

"HELLO MADEIRA"

 (Lisbon)

I'm sorry for the lack of posts, I'm moving to Madeira, so I've been putting everything in boxes. These past weeks I felt like my life was literally all over the place! haha but it's worth it, after living almost 4 years in Lisbon, I'm coming back to the Island of the sun :)

Hope you're having a great week!

Ps: I made a Tumblr! I'll share with you some of my inspiration, and you can ask me anything you'd like to know! :)
