Adventure & Self-care Time on São Miguel Island

This volcanic island roadtrip delivered on adrenaline-inducing fun, the ultimate forest bathing experience, and even a haunted hotel 👻

After the intense intimacy of a yacht full of people and the insane crowds in Dubrovnik and Barcelona, this outgoing introvert needed some alone time to recharge.

The Azores have long been on my bucket list, and the timing was finally right for a self-guided roadtrip in this mid-Atlantic archipelago, an autonomous region of Portugal.

There’s a lot more to come on São Miguel, including a few rave reviews and plenty of recommendations to make the most of your time here.

For now, enjoy a quick look at the view from here.
