Join me on a fall escape on the wonderful south coast of Portugal. We have an impressive amount of beaches and costal towns to explore while also working comfortably from an amazing pool villa. Grab a towel in the morning for a quick bath and Vitamine D and in the evening we can enjoy the vibrant Albufeira & Lagos, as well as the nearby nature hikes, nice dinners and maybe we can catch a party or 2. I hope you feel as inspired by the surrounding nature as I was when I researched this trip, and be open to meeting new people and exchanging knowledge on an array of subjects. It would also be nice to have a few cookouts in the evening to save some money and get to know each other better! On the weekend I plan to take you on a boat tour to Benagil Caves, an incredible hidden cove. Check out the itinerary below!
About me! My name is Irina and i'm an extremely creative person, with an itch for adventure and travel. It's hard for me to stay for too long in one place, which is why i travelled every year, as much as i could, regardless of my financial situation. I believe you can travel no matter what, as long as you know your limits. I started a travel Youtube Channel, where i share my trips and tips for each country/city i visit. I love making lists and i'm an obsessive planner, so no matter what could come along in our trip, as long as there's wifi, there's a solution! I travelled all over Europe, but of course there's always something different to see and do anywhere you go and i love exploring the most fun & unique places, where most people don't venture. Hope to find creative and like minded people, the more the better!
Details about the accommodation: The Resort I picked has two double rooms, one with a double bed and one with 2 single beds). Let me know your preferences. One of the bedrooms has a private bathroom, so we won't have to worry about the waiting times in the morning :D Because people have different schedules and maybe not a lot of time in the morning, we also have a heated pool that we can enjoy any time of the day. AC and of course good Wifi is available. Let me know in the Q&A section on this trip if you have any questions about the trip!
