Very good documentary Dr. Alex. I was just searching for tiny houses and here I am. I am in awe of this community.. This is my dream community for me and my 2 daughter. I hope that there is a community that can adopt a family :) I hope that one day, I can come and live here until the day I die. Sending love from Philippines! Good luck Dr. Alex.. God bless
❤...how wonderful people in harmony with creation and then that fantastic story of two Italian ancestors who remained on the island. Thanks for your video
Thank you for the comment. I have wirking here since 2016. I have worked in few UK Overseas Territories ( Falklands, St Helena, Turks&Caicos, Ascension island) and I was always happy. Here on Tristan , I’m part of the community. The people put all their trust in you and it is such a privilege. Amazing. I have got a lot of respect for them.
Alex, yours is one of best videos of Tristan on here very interesting. I visited in 2013 on the RMS it’s a lovely island with great people but could only stay for three days unfortunately. So many videos are made by people who have never even been there !
Many thanks David. I hope to make a second video soon. Indeed it takes time to know the people. It’s one of the best experience of my life. On the professional level as well on the emotional level.
Thanks Robin. Still happy here. It is a special place. Got a small patch at the patches. And our garden in the house is producing small stuff as well… Warm hugs.
Like Dr Alex was telling in this documentary, it is a privilege for few of us to experience the life in Tristan da Cunha Travelling from Cape Town to the Island can be a challenge. But always the hope to see the land is something that keep us awake The people there are amazing and as he said, they live a simple life
Hi Alex, you did a lovely job telling the story of the people from Tristan Da Cunha, I really enjoyed listening to this story. Thanks from Melbourne Australia, which just happens to sit at the exact same latitude from the equator as Tristan Da Cunha!!
Sorry for the late reply. Thank you very much for your kind comment. Hopefully next year I will edit another video on this amazing place. The people are also unique. Basically it feels like we are not living on planet earth here! And we are still covid free!
@@GonzoJamie i’m what we call here an “expat”. Simply working here few months to one year at a time. During covid I was stuck for 2 years as we couldn’t find a replacement. I’m working in the hospital. If you google “ Camogli Health Centre Tristan da Cunha”, you will see some pictures. Good day. Alex
Thank you for nice video, I hope in later ones you will tell what the Tristians do on their free time and what kind of dishes they cook with just potatoes and fish.
Excellent documentary! May I ask if you are from portuguese descendance or a native portuguese speaker? Your pronunciation on da Cunha is just perfect.
Unfortunately, it is a weak point. This island is a bit s forgotten island. There is wind 500 days a year! They are waves also 500 days a year that could generate electricity. But maybe that is why this island is so special. But things hopefully will change…
Seems like the frekwensie there is on parr with nature...no interverence by A I....like humans lived for ages..what a good life..once you got the hang of it.
Best to look at the official website from the government. All the infos are there. Not easy to travel there due to the paucity of ships but never impossible.
@@I_Am_AI_007 it’s not an easy life. Myself now have started to cultivate vegetables and potatoes. Slowly but surely. After five years I’m now entitled to get two sheeps and a cow…
To live on Tristan!? Well, it is more surviving than living. As an « outsider » it will be very difficult to settle. The only way they survive is because of the community spirit. Remember that the moment you are born on Tristan , your life is part of the community.
@@alexwonner7469 well my rent just went up again and my electric company is raising rates again so they can make an additional 15 million a year. So there's not much that great in my life.
@@lillyjane78 Just coming back in Belgium I do realize how incredibly expensive many items are. And also the electricity and gaz bills from my elderly parents.It is indeed a big worry for the years to come as companies will try to make even more profits. A real tragedy. On top of that all countries are now police states run by dictators who put all their friends and family in power. And there is nothing we can do.

@@alexwonner7469 how to marry a woman who lives on the island.
@@othmanmohamad9624 impossible....
@@alexwonner7469 you mean, there are no single women on the island?

Well done Alex for the nice documentary! TdC is an amazing place with wonderful special people!
Merci d’avoir partagé un peu de Tristan da Cunha avec nous 😊🇧🇷
Coucou Carolina. Nous partons le 20 avril...En ce moment en quarantaine....
J'y vais la semaine prochaine. I am going to Tristan next week !!
What an excellent documentary Alex and Sally. We love it. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing your experience!
If you have some video of the other two Island, that would be interesting to see as well.
Amazing documentary. What a wonderful way of life!
Thank you. I came across your video while searching for clarity about this island, and find yours to be refreshing and optimistic.
Thank you. It is such a unique place that it is difficult to describe it.
Hi Dr Alex & Sally, just stumbled on this by accident. Thanks for portraying Tristan is such good light. Good job!! Well done.
Thanks Robin. Still happy here. It is a special place. Got a small patch at the patches. And our garden in the house is producing small stuff as well… Warm hugs.
Hi Doc
Nice to see your clips finally put together - gives a good overall picture of "normal" life there.
Ce fut une sacré expérience que de vous projeter sur cette île.

But always the hope to see the land is something that keep us awake

Super! Merci Dr Alex pour le partage
Avec plaisir
This is the best doc I've listened to about the island. Have you got any information on the buildings on the south of the island that look abandoned?
Hi Alex, you did a lovely job telling the story of the people from Tristan Da Cunha, I really enjoyed listening to this story.
Thanks from Melbourne Australia, which just happens to sit at the exact same latitude from the equator as Tristan Da Cunha!!
Thanks a lot. A second part is coming soon…
Wow! Very well done and thank you for sharing. From Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada.
On my way back next week for 8-12 months. On Tristan, you know when you arrive but never know when you can leave....
Hopefully next year I will be able to share a bit more on this amazing place. We are so remote that we are still covid free!
really its amazing documentary I love The Island
Thank you do much. Yes indeed a lovely place.
Thank you so much for the kind comment. Regards. Alex
Brilliant. Many thanks.
Thank you. I’m glad you have enjoyed it…
Cant imagine that being a happy place but it sure is beautiful
Thanks for sharing Alex
Love the video
Thanks Diedere. Hopefully next year I will be able to show a bit more of the island…
Beautiful Shangrila of the Seas. Very nicely narrated !
Thank you do much. Hopefully an update soon…
Thank you so much for your kind comment. Regards. Alex
Nice documentary. The yacht my uncle was sailing on, SV Coimbra, ran aground at TdC in 1953. She was eventually covered in the 1961 volcanic eruption.
Wooo,this is amazing. Do you have any pictures? If so , please send them to my email: alexwonr@yahoo.co.uk
Thanks.

Woooow. Interesting news.
thanks a lot for your sharing! ❤ beautiful 🔥!!!
Thank you very much
I am from India and we have 1.5 billion people here. This looks like a place of dreams to me. Good job Dr Alex.
Yes, Tristan is a bit less populated. And the population will decrease slowly in the next 20 years
@@alexwonner7469 may god bless this paradise and its people. We would like to see more of this place Doctor. Please make more videos

It is a special place. Repetto and Lavarello were fisherman from Camogli in Italy. Still some descendants living here…
@@alexwonner7469 Very special place👍💯
Danke!
Thanks to you.
Would love to visit this amazing island with the nice people &, nature.
Well, not easy but the best way is in September with the Aghulas. Otherwise they are the fishing boats. Rough ride guaranteed…
Maio de 2024 meu maio desejo e ir emborabp um lugar assim ... Bem longe d td e tds...😮
desde medellin es increible tan lejos
Thanks. It’s indeed very isolated. A second part is coming soon…
Thanks for Upload
Pleasure. Back on Tristan. Un update in few months time...
This community is way past surviving. They are apparently thriving.
Spent 4 years fishing here in the 1980’s from a ship called the Hekla. Wonderful place.
That is now 40 years ago. Tristan is changing rapidly now. If perhaps you have some old pictures, that will be great.
no muchos tienen la suerte de ir es increible
Good day Sebastian. C’est vrai que c’est une chance incroyable de pouvoir visiter et de travailler sur cette île lointaine. Merci des commentaires.

olle espero algun dia conoser quien viajo tan lejos parse
Très interessant Alex!
Un grand merci pour le commentaire. J’espere mettre en ligne une seconde partie l’année prochaine. Bonne continuation.
Hey Alex, what of electricity? How do they generate power? They have great geothermal outlook and hydroelectric opportunities too.
Good day Paul. Unfortunately only diesel engines. The fishing factory produce the electricity.
Unfortunately, it is a weak point. This island is a bit s forgotten island. There is
wind 500 days a year! They are waves also 500 days a year that could generate electricity. But maybe that is why this island is so special. But things hopefully will change…
@@alexwonner7469 I don’t know if I’m missing an inside joke, but the year only has 365 days…

Sir its wonderful review, how can i visit and how much cost nedd
Best to look at the official website from the government. All the infos are there. Not easy to travel there due to the paucity of ships but never impossible.
Best is to visit the website of the Tristan da Cunha Tourism office. If you google it, you will find it. Kind regards. Alex
Why dont they plant fruit bearing trees around the island?
How can i go and stay there?
Unfortunately, I’m just an “expat”. Only working here. You basically cannot settle here.
Can we go and settle there?
Unfortunately not. We as “expatriates” come and go and we cannot buy ground or house. We can visit, work for a while and then … leave.
@@alexwonner7469 I wish I could.

Thank you.
Thanks a lot for this! I learned a lot more about this fascinating little island. Im curious though, is there a beach in Tristan?
Yes they are few beaches around. Sime with greyish sand ans some with pebbles. On the next video, I will put some beaches…
Can I live there for 2 months ? To study the island and culture.
Everything is possible. You shoukd go to the website of TDC island and look at the Tourism office to send your request.

do not type "666" after "watch" in the video URL.
Tks. But not sure what you mean. Will look at it…
