An Emotional Arrival in Madeira, Portugal 🇵🇹

After 8 months away from Madeira, Portugal, I secretly booked a flight back to surprise my closest friends. Leaving Portugal was one of the hardest decisions I've ever made, and landing back in Funchal brought up so many unexpected emotions. In this video, I head back into Funchal completely unannounced to surprise as many people as possible, from visiting Ruben at the Vantastic food truck to stopping by Lido’s Tavern for the best Poncha in Madeira. Throughout the day, I reflect on what it feels like to revisit a place that once felt like home: do I still miss living here, or has that chapter officially closed? Whether you're planning a trip to Madeira Island, curious about expat life in Portugal, or just here for the emotional reunions, thank you for following this journey.
