🏝️ Have you already thought about visiting one of the warmest and most paradisiacal and natural places in Europe? ☀️ Have you visited the island before (maybe even thinking of how to locate or live there for longer) or is it your dream to experience the Hawaii of Europe? ♥️ You can now spend some adventurous and exciting weeks or months with a wonderful, relaxed group of active, open-minded and relaxed nomads that I have carefully selected close to the vibrant capital of Madeira (Funchal), an island of Portugal located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. ☀️ You will be staying in the "Golden Coliving" - a very spacious, new flat with a 360° balcony getting as much sea view and sunshine as much need ;) The Colivers like to get some work done during the week (we have everything ready to support you to work seamlessly and focussed - serenity, ultra-fast Wi-Fi, lots of space and tables, monitors, work-out mats, personal-development books etc.). We also like to soak in the sun on the balcony, go running on the nature paths or play a round of paddle near the house, take a dip in the sea, hike around nearby Levadas and forests, take a stroll to the free Co-Working venue in the close neighbourhood and relax in the venue's spa afterwards. 🥳 After work, the community loves to go on little adventures: Let it be a hike through the mountains or on the nearby cliffs, some of the many Nomad Events happening in the city centre, a social gathering, a cosy bar or delicious restaurant, a karaoke night or jam session, a calming yoga or meditation session, a match of tennis, ping-pong, board-games, volleyball or squash or just a casual sunset meet-up: The list of options and things to do with other like-minded people is nearly endless. 🌊 The Coliving group prefers to go with the flow, check the weather conditions first, and decide by communicating with the rest on what they would like to do each day in a rather spontaneous way. I also like to team up the 3 Colivings that I manage, so they can all meet and go on excursions, events and hikes together - it's a lot of fun and the people are truly wonderful (I have carefully selected all of them myself). 🚗 There is a possibility to share a car or 125cc Scooters amongst the Coliving group. Costs are split and paid for by each nomad during their stay. We have some good offers with great discounts for Nomads :) 🏠 Due to several factors as the extremely high demand, Madeira's housing and car rental market has become a bit crazy, and often it's very hard to find any (affordable) accommodation, small flats with a single bedroom in Funchal cost about 100€ on average per night. So this is a great opportunity for those not only seeking a rather affordable place to stay, but also amazing, up-lifting company and useful tips from an experienced expat. 👥🌅
I am an expat in Madeira since the beginning of 2021. I have explored large parts of the island through my very frequent hiking trips. I became addicted to going the wild road, the off-the-beaten-path, to find ways that very few have seen before. Before that, I have travelled the world and lived abroad in several countries for over 10 years. I love to bring people together, and organizing guided trips to show people the beauty of new places became a big passion of mine. Unfortunately, even the biggest passion can compete with one's work-life-balance and bring too much stress and lack of time into one's life. So I redirected my path of bringing people together and showing them the beauty of places by creating social and positive Colivings in several places in Madeira. I still pass over my knowledge, insiders and secret tips of great places to visit, events to attend and people to meet. But I am not physically present all the time any more, and I let people take the lead by themselves to decide where they want to go after they are done with work.
