About Us

Trevor and June Franks immigrated to Madeira in 1988 after previously staying on holidays. They liked it so much that when they had the chance to move they did so without hesitation.

Trevor started walking every Levada and mountain walk that was possible to walk. He then worked for various companies for five years taking groups around Madeira on the levadas and mountains showing people the fauna and flora that Madeira has to offer. He is still amazed twenty-two years later that he discovers more about Madeira each time he goes out. An island still waiting to be discovered.

He then encouraged June to start walking the levadas and mountains. She is now a fully converted walker with experience of some tough walks.

We brought our English cat with us and he lived for 22 years. We now have two local cats

The 'TJ' Walking of the business name comes from our Christian names Trevor and June.

People do ask do we regret moving to Madeira, the answer is a resounding No! The one thing that we do regret is not coming sooner.

We also have a passion for using alternative energy take a look at our self constructed Solar Hot water Panels
