The German Twitch streamer LetsHugo is currently on the island of Madeira for a week. However, on the very first day of his stay, the 20-year-old expressed that he is increasingly burdened by loneliness. Hugo even briefly considered permanently emigrating to the island. But just a few days later, he publicly doubted this decision as the ongoing isolation greatly affected him.
Who is LetsHugo? LetsHugo, also known as Hugo in real life, is a 20-year-old streamer from Luxembourg. His streaming career began in 2016 on Twitch, where he initially gained attention with the popular game Minecraft. In July 2019, Hugo decided to turn his hobby into his profession and began actively streaming on Twitch.
His big breakthrough came in March 2023, when he participated in the “No Food Challenge” of his Twitch colleague Maximilian “Trymacs” Stemmler.

Why is Hugo in Madeira? Earlier this summer, LetsHugo spent a vacation in Madeira, during which he undertook numerous activities with a variety of other streamers, including Reved, Papaplatte, Mahluna, and Mexify. Joint day trips characterized the time and Hugo expressed his enthusiasm for the island.
Now he has returned for a week, with the serious thought of permanently relocating there. On the first day, he gave his viewers a room tour of his temporary accommodation. He spoke enthusiastically about the upcoming week while also sharing his concerns regarding loneliness.
How is he coping with the situation? In a recent stream, Hugo once again discussed his current situation. He candidly admitted that he has been thinking about emigrating again. He emphasized, “I’m just alone. No matter where I am, I will be alone.”
He made it clear that, in his opinion, it was less about Madeira itself and more about the circumstance of leaving home. Regardless of the destination of his possible emigration, he would face the challenge of being alone in an apartment.
What other worries does he have? Besides the emotional challenge, Hugo also expressed concerns regarding his living situation. The current accommodation he is occupying for a week is a luxury he could not maintain if he were to emigrate. He made it clear that a simpler apartment would be unavoidable in this case.
These considerations continue to raise the question of whether the idyll of Madeira can meet Hugo’s high expectations and whether he can overcome the emotional burden.
