Rethinking Neighbourhoods & Exploring New Living Concepts on Madeira
What if you didn't have to choose between comfort, privacy, community and a deeper connection to nature? In this episode, Catherine and Mark explore the different ways people are building a life on Madeira — from the traditional Madeiran home, often surrounded by family land and crops, to new ways of thinking about how we live together.

About us
We are Catherine & Mark
Catherine grew up between two cultures, Swiss and Guyanese. She moved from Switzerland to mainland Portugal in 2017 and arrived on Madeira by ferry a few months before COVID, without ever having visited. It felt like home almost straight away.
Mark grew up in the Netherlands. After a Bitcoin conference in Amsterdam and the start of the pandemic, he scouted Madeira in ten days and bought a place before he'd even unpacked, drawn by the nature and a better work-life balance.
What brings us together: we both chose Madeira as home, and we're still discovering it, one conversation at a time.
With In Love With Madeira we take you on a journey into life on the island, every other Friday: answering your questions, sharing what we learn, and sitting down with the people who make Madeira what it is.
