Column: Passion in the Algarve
Here in the Algarve, we live off grid. No regular TV channels, no endless news bulletins to ruin the day. Life is simply too good here to waste time on talk shows or the latest drama. Netflix? Their AI just doesn’t get me – never suggests the films I’d actually enjoy. So we turn to YouTube instead. Music, documentaries, live performances – it’s all there. Pure joy!
Music with passion, that’s what gets me. An artist who gives everything, a chef who is crazy about his craft and creates magic in the kitchen. I love people who live with passion, who have that fire in their eyes and the drive to give their best.
My father always told me: “Whatever you do in life, whether you become a dishwasher or an entrepreneur, make sure you are the best at it.” Those words are still with me. He was right. Passion isn’t about what you do, but about how you do it.
And here in the Algarve, surrounded by sun, sea, and silence, that love for passion only grows stronger. This is where life and passion truly meet.
