Are you a working professional seeking for some adventure into your daily life? Maybe you're sick of the usual routine of waking up, working, and going back to bed? Well I present to you the ultimate trip to combine your work hours with exploration! Together we will hike, swim, eat fantastic food - both home cooked and local cuisine, bask in the sun, or why not play volleyball in the sunset? If you miss the thrill and love for life, this trip will bring it back - all without taking any of your precious holiday days away! I am looking for individuals who are seeking adventure, connecting with nature and people, and wholesome chilling. We'll work together, live together, and have fun together - what's better than that? I'll have some activities pre-planned for you (as you can see in the plan below) so that you know that after work there's already something fun waiting for you to do! As a person I love to stay active, so when there's no activity planned I'll always be up to do something after work, whether it's swimming, surfing, or playing cards. But fear not, this trip will be suuuuper flexible, and I will adapt the plans 100% to the group. There will always be time to chill and you can always choose to have solo time! I'm also looking for 1 to 3 tripmates that has a driver's license and is keen on driving as I have not gotten mine yet! Please let me know if you're the one :)
About me! My name is Felicia, 23 years old, from Sweden and addicted to travelling, exploring, and creating meaningful connections! I am currently living in Netherlands and I've solo backpacked throughout Europe, a bit of Asia, and cannot wait for more travels. Two years ago I volunteered at a surf hostel in the Algarve and fell in love. This is why I want to go back to the dreamland with some strangers (who hopefully will become friends) to show you my favorite spots and of course discover new ones together! Though I've been born and raised in cities, I love nature and this is where I thrive the best. I am adventurous, spontaneous, and love to meet new people. I enjoy anything from dancing, sports, yoga, painting, swimming, doing pottery to journaling and reading. My goal is for you guys to have a fantastic trip where you feel fulfilled, recharged, and appreciate the beauty in life - even though you're working. This trip I'm aiming for a more wholesome, take care of your body and soul type of trip than the party one. But of course, if everyone really wants to go out for a bougie some night I never say no to dancing. All in all, I'm pretty flexible and chill with whatever we do.
Details about the accommodation: We will stay at a beautiful place just a few minutes walk to the beach! The rooms are shared, with two single. beds in one room - if you want ahis will be available with an additional fee and subject to availability. This villa has great wi-fi connection where you can work without disruption, a beautiful terrace to enjoy the sun, and the best of all is a pool you can hop into if you're feeling too lazy to walk to the beach! Keep me posted in the Q&A section if you have any questions!

Trip Itinerary
1
Burgau
Day 1-8
Welcome to the Algarve! Since everyone will be arriving at different times of the day, we will meet at the accommodation which is located in between Burgau and Luz. I will be adding everyone into a WhatsApp grupp and give information of how to get there! (Depending if there is more/less people, the accommodation might change) This will be a chill day where we can walk around the city, buy groceries, walk to a lovely viewpoint close by and then head to Praia do Burgau - a beautiful little beach just a few minutes walk from the accommodation! We'll cook dinner together and get to know each other!
2
Seven Hanging Valleys Trail
Day 8
Roadtrip! This is planned for the first full day of 0 work, on Sunday, as this means full day of exploration! We will have a rental van (or car, depending on the number of tripmates), and drive towards the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail. The total route to and back is 12km, which takes about 4 hours, however, we can also decide then how long we want to hike for. If we want, we can also go to the Benagil Caves which is one of the most famous caves in Portugal - this will be an additional cost that is not included in the trip price. We will bring a packed delicious lunch that we can eat during the hike and take swim breaks whenever we feel like it.
3
Castelejo Beach
Day 8
After the hike we'll drive back home, freshen up and relax for a few hours. The idea is to then make some delicious food to pack and we'll drive to the west coast to watch the beautiful sunset from there. But of course, if we're too tired, we can either eat at home or go to a restaurant nearby!
4
Ceramica Paraiso
Day 8
The best place to buy beautiful, handmade pottery at a fantastic price! It's so much fun to walk around here and look at the different ceramics they offer. We will drive here on Tuesday after work to get some presents for your friends and family. While we're on the west side, we'll head to another beautiful beach to play some volleyball and watch the sunset.
5
Caldeiroa
Day 8
Preliminary, on Wednesday, we will head to a vineyard where we can taste some lovely wines, walk around the vineyard, and look at the beautiful view from the farm. You will also have the possibility to buy some souvenirs home. This is however just an idea and can be changed once we get together and discuss our wishes.
6
Lagos
Day 8
Friday - last night! After everyone has closed their laptops and finished their well done work for the week, we will head to Lagos, a very cute little town and walk around, some gift shopping, and then eat a lovely meal at one of the great restaurants in the city. If we feel like it, we can grab a drink somewhere or maybe just a bottle of wine and sit by the beach to watch the sunset.
