I’m Jackson Groves, an Australian adventure traveler who has been on the road for eight years now.

Adventures beyond borders

After graduating with a journalism degree, I set off to explore the world while creating adventure travel guides featuring hikes, waterfalls, beaches & adrenaline activities. During my travels, I heard stories about an island called Madeira. It was said to be a hiking heaven full of beautiful trails, cloud inversions, tunnels, and ancient forests. I decided to explore Madeira for myself and ended up staying for six months. During this time, I was welcomed in by the hiking and adventure community of Madeira. Locals showed me some of the most amazing hikes, waterfalls, and beaches throughout the island and I created a series of comprehensive and in-depth guides for other travelers to follow. I've revisited Madeira many times since my first trip and love setting off on new adventures across the island. I hope my travels and adventures give you the motivation to set off on an epic adventure of your own. You can find all of my Madeira Travel Guides by visiting my blog: JourneyEra.com
