Madeira

I have been hiking and backpacking my entire life in some truly spectacular corners of the world, Madeira includes some of the absolute most beautiful trails I have ever been fortunate enough to explore. I had never heard of Madeira until a friend invited me to join them, 3 weeks later I was in Boston catching a flight! Having also been to the Azores (they are often compared) I have to say Madeira is bar-none more beautiful, less crowded, and fun to explore! I also forgot my wallet at home, blew out the clutch on the rental car, and got charged for damage we didn’t cause.. LOTS of lessons learned on this one! haha
