Its a very calm island (São Miguel) and it has everything you need to have a magic experience with nature! Its unique and incredible ♥️ Walking or picking any transportation is very safe, I never had also any problem walking late night!

About my experience 1. City is walkable and 1 hours of walking seems like 5 minutes bcs of ocean and viewpoints. 2. Food: you can find here some good restaurants. I would recommend Namaste India. And kebab for 3.9€ in the harbour 3. Activities? Walking, swimming, eagle and dolphin watching, or surfing. I did I everything, dolphins and whale watching with Mobidick company (small family company), surfing 🏄 is sth you should try. 4. Public transport to other places in the island: little bit crazy, sometimes it did not come, there are 3 companies and has devided the island 🏝️. You will need patient and time but I think that it is experience to ride a bus here.

Solo travel

Incredibly safe (I walked late at night, not feeling in the slightest bit unsafe), very affordable, and people are extremely friendly. The city has a small, bustling centre, natural springs (both cold and warm), astonishing natural scenery, delicious food and plenty of streets to explore.

About Me

Hey Im Lena. I was living on the São Miguel for the last year. Now I want to make my way back to Germany without flying. So I try to sail to the mainland and then backpack my way. I’m happy about opportunities to stay. I can also just sleep in my hammock :)
