Hi! We’re Ivan & Alina — travelers, creators, and tour guides living on Madeira with our Dalmatian, Kratos 🐾

We’re building Island Escape — a travel project and paid personal tour experience for people who want to discover the real Madeira, beyond tourist routes.

Island Escape is not a standard tour. It’s a personal, curated experience of the island as we see it every day: hidden viewpoints, wild trails, atmospheric locations, local food, and cinematic photo and video spots.

✨ Our private author’s tour is a paid experience and is a mandatory part of the free accommodation project.

To stay with us for free, you must take a tour program lasting at least 2 full days (different program options are available). We will gladly customize the itinerary according to your preferences — whether you prefer light adventures, nature exploration, gastronomy, or beautiful shooting locations.

🌿 If you are interested in this experience, write to us — and we will help design a tour and stay plan just for you.

Welcome to Island Escape 🌊

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

Because I love meeting new people and hearing their stories.
Traveling has always been a big part of my life, and I believe the best memories come from human connection and shared experiences.

I’m here to exchange culture, ideas, and good energy.
