Who’s who
Cheryl Smith | UK and Algarve
Passionate about Portugal; holidaying, exploring, good food, joyful living, well-being and mindful connection, especially with regard to a healthy work-life balance.
I love to share my love of healthy, delicious, simple cooking with friends. I enjoy exploring raw, vegan and vegeteran recipes. I haven’t eaten meat for over a year and I don’t miss it. My knowledge of the locally grown produce enables me to source the best and prepare deliciously creative fresh food for you daily.
Having visited the Algarve for more than 20 years I am keen to share my Algarve experience with you as I love to explore the area, find new beaches, restaurants and activities, visit the traditional villages nearby. And I can spend hours in the local markets, surrounded by the colours and scents of locally grown produce.

Suzy Turner from Yogadocious | Algarve
After practising yoga for a few years and over-exerting herself, Suzy realised that when practised mindfully, yoga can help all kinds of problems.
“After I turned 40, I wanted to share what I’d learned with the world, so I trained to become a yoga teacher. It was the best thing I’ve ever done. I don’t believe that yoga should be about acrobatics or pushing yourself beyond your limits. I believe that if you take it easy, and move the way your body is meant to move, you’ll feel a huge relief from from all those problems caused by sitting for too long.
But it’s not just gentle yoga I’m passionate about, I’m also a big supporter of organic products and yummy recipes to help soothe our bodies, inside and out. I’m a huge believer in the power of positivity and believe that a healthy body begins with a healthy mind.”
