Sete Cidades, the blue and green lake you always s Sete Cidades, the blue and green lake you always see on the Azores advertisements 😁 Great place to go for a hike and get different views of the lake. And not only the lake; you have the Atlantic Ocean on one side and these lakes on the other side! The Azores, and the island of Sao Miguel, are amazing to travel to. Because next to the lakes and view points, you have natural thermal pools (or hot springs) due to volcanic actitvity while you imagine yourself in Jurasic Park! In adition, it's a great place to go scuba diving & surfing. Keep an eye on Splashpacker website & YouTube channel for more info! I'd say: Add it to your bucket list! 👌😎 #theazores #bucketlistdestinations #setecidades #sãomiguel #cetecidades #sevencities #lakesview #sãomiguelisland #splashpacker #safedestinations #twinlakesazores #azoresislands💚 #azoreslakes
Beautiful Azores ❤ Here you can see both North Beautiful Azores ❤ Here you can see both North & South coast of Sao Miguel Island. Being here reminds me of when I worked in New Zealand. With the only difference: more cows than sheep 🤣 But as green! (No filters!) The Azores is a very safe destination to travel to in these strange corona times!! Soon more info on Splashpacker 😁😁 #sãomiguel #theazoresislands #saomiguelisland #greenerthangreen #safedestinations #splashpacker #islandview #azorenportugal #azoren #theazores #losazores #acoressaomiguel

Today, it´s 17 years ago my mum passed away. Yest Today, it´s 17 years ago my mum passed away. Yesterday I was final-checking the first chapter of Safety Stop in which I write about this big loss. The time she has been away is almost equalizing the time she has been physically in my life. But sometimes it feels like she never really left. I always carry some part of her with me. This started, of course, with a feeling of deep hurt and sadness but has also changed over the years in a feeling of joy and deep gratefulness for having her in my life for the first 21 years of my life. I feel something similar since I lost my dad, who is somewhere there with her and who I love as much as my mum. But I never felt such a strong connection with someone as I did with my mum. And this connection did not stop by her passing. My mum has shaped me the way I am and she keeps inspiring me even today. She is my hero and I am sure she will keep being a part of me even if I live for another 50 years. I saw this photo in a place where I had a coffee the other day. I like to use it today to remind whoever reads this to always respect your parents. Because they can be gone from your life sooner than you think. I have come to realise over the years that this strong love of and for parents is not always to be taken for granted. So I know very well, I have a lot to be grateful for. The warm & loving base they gave me will always weight more than the pain of losing them too early. So yes, there is something stronger than the death, it´s called LOVE <3 https://www.splashpacker.com/safety-stop/ #parentslove #safetystopbook #respectjeouders #respectyourparents #motherlove #safetystop #memoir #memoire #safetystopboek #reisboek #moederliefde #nonfictionmemoir #nonfictievememoire #strongerthandead

This photo was taken at Cabo Girao viewpoint, about 560 metre above sea level and a scary glass plateau where you can walk on 🤣 #cabogirão #cabogirao #madeirawesttour #madeiraislandtour #travelmadeira #newvideonyoutube #madeiraeiland #travelvlogger #splashpacker
If you go to Sao Miguel on Azores I suggest to pla If you go to Sao Miguel on Azores I suggest to plan at least also 1 day in Ponta Delgada just to see the 3 botanical gardens I saw so far. My plan was to go Furnas today and take the 13.45 bus and to come back 3 hours later so it's a good time to do a hike. If you go in the morning there is no bus back till like 17ish, so thought might be a bit too long. But I 'just' missed the bus. He drove off while I was running towards it 🙈 So instead I found Antonio Borges botanical garden and it was beautiful! Oh yes swipe left 😁 #antonioborges #botanicalgardensoftheworld #pontadelgada #saomiguel #azores #theazoresislands #azorenportugal #botanischetuin #jardinesbotanicos #naturelovers💚 #flowersandtrees #macaronesianislands #swipeleft
Went for a little hike yesterday in this place cal Went for a little hike yesterday in this place called rocha de relva. It's was very beautiful over there although later I realised it was not the trail I was planning to do 😂 This one was called 'fonte de rocha', it was still very nice! #rochaderelva #fontederocha #saomiguelisland #saomiguelazores #azoreshiking #hikingtrailsofinstagram #azoren #azorenportugal #islasazores #açoresislands
Ready for my 3rd COVID test in 2,5 weeks 😂 As y Ready for my 3rd COVID test in 2,5 weeks 😂 As you can see on Azores they made a corona drive through! If you stay longer than 1 week on Azores, you have to do a second test on the 6th day. I think it's so good all these Portugese islands check tourists so you can feel very safe if you travel to these destinations during COVID-19! #safedestinations #saomiguelazores #coronadrivethrough #covidtestingsites #travelduringcovid19 #azoresislands💚 #açoresislands
This sign made me change my plans today! I have be This sign made me change my plans today! I have been writing since this morning and decided to go for a late lunch. First I found this great vegetarian little place, called Dondue (#dondue) and then I saw this sign 😁 Time to enjoy the rest of my day! Just have been chatting to the local people working here and have a walk around town now. The sun is shining so will continue with those blog posts tonight 😁 #dontbetoobusy #lifenow #dontforgettolive #pontadelgadasaomiguel #enjoyingsaturday #newblogpostontheway #splashpacker
Lost in nature. My first on the road travel video Lost in nature. My first on the road travel video on Splashpacker YouTube channel (still a lot to learn though!)
