    Good place to live as a young single lad(mid 20's)? Went to Azores and it was pretty boring, don't think I was the right age for the place. Very good for couples, families and retirees but not really young, vibrant and happening which is totally fine but not what I am looking for. Does Madeira have many young people (20-30), fun stuff to do, party atmosphere and innovative work things going on? Thanks a mill for the videos!

    Hello fellow Canadians. Love your videos. I'm heading to Portugal for five weeks. I'm planning a visit to Madeira. I noticed you were pushing the Savoy Properties pretty hard... was that a paid sponsor you are promoting? They seem super expensive... Airbnb has a much more reasonable nightly rate there. Btw, nice drone shots in your videos.
