Absolutely thrilled to view this video. My wife and I spent a week in Fogo island in July 1982, along with a good friend from New Foundland. We were so warmly welcome and treated like family members. It was such a wonderful experience and the people of Fogo Island were so precious that it is impossible for us to forget those few days in such a remote and peaceful paradise. God bless all the Fogo islanders and may they all be happy for ever.
Great comment
I second that.
Great story. With so much hate and tragedy in the news we need more of these dominating headlines.
You call this "dominating"? lol!
She's a genuine Newfoundland hero. We love her.
OMG, she exudes compassion from every cell.
Incredibly inspirational and uplifting. I coukd watch this over and over. Love this story!!!
Were you talking to OR GOD JUST TAKING HIS NAME IN VAIN!? HAVE A BLESSED DAY
@kathy picher ...your statement's very sad and not very christian. May God forgive you.
@@kathypichey4306 Bless your heart.
"What are we optimizing for ? We're optimizing for place, we're optimizing for community ". Very well said! Optimize for harmony, happiness, tranquility, and home is heaven.💙
I am proud to say that I live on Fogo island, and I know most of the people from “foleys shed.”
(the elderly lady that sang and shook hands ran over my friends grandmother but she survived)
At 55 years of age, and taking a more reflective look at life, and it’s true meaning. I watched every single minute of this broadcast with the one thing I concluded at first. “One person, can make a difference in preserving the most precious things in life, and building a pathway to the future”.✨💎💎💎✨
Yea, “the question becomes… ‘’what are we optimizing for’’?’
What a beautiful soul she is! I’m deeply, deeply touched by her; along with her father and mother.
It’d make a fabulous writers retreat. Attract writers and those who understand that land this loved, and stories this grounded…heals.
Deeply
Over the years I've been fortunate enough to meet many folks from Newfoundland (Newfies) and I can tell you first hand that they've brought much joy and happiness to my life! They are not only the most hospitable people I've ever met their love of life and having fun is contagious. It's too bad that your story didn't capture their wonderful accent. I don't know if I'll ever get to Fogo Island but I will be visiting The Rock one day - it's the number one item on my bucket list! Thanks 60 Minutes.
My wife and I stayed at the Fogo Island Inn for four nights 2 summer ago. What a wonderful place. The people are so friendly. We will never forget it.
It is a lovely Island, and they have a gorgeous hotel...all the bed have homemade quilt by the people on this Island, so cozy and a warm welcome so say the least.
I LOVE THIS WOMAN!! I cannot wait for the opportunity to see her magical island and love those islanders✨ Cod is my absolute favorite and always has been and these really seem like my kind of folks. My happy place✨💜✨
I wish I could afford to live there.
What an impressive woman. I wish more people in her position thought the way she does.
Absolutely….✨
Why? Isn’t her type that has Goldman and Starbucks in there in a blink?
@@esterhudson5104 😄 she could have just bought a mansion in LA and let her old town rot in despair, I suppose. That might make some people happy.
You want more people to build an inn that charges $2,000 a night with a three night minimum stay?
@@computron5824 Just because you are broke, it’s bad?
This is such an uplifting story. I found myself smiling the way through. I love the bit where she says hospitality is loving a stranger.
She did an amazing job by giving back to her community, to bring it back to life, or rather to let it keep living on.
What a lovely comment, I agree completely…
@@terriestapley5475 😃😃☺️
Amazing story about a beautiful community of people. Much respect to the woman who came back to help. I'm going to look that artist community place there. I would love to do a solo meditation retreat here 💞
It warms my heart to see a tiny village find away to survive. Would love to visit here one day
smart lady, giving back what she learned.
Smart but greedy and out-of-touch when it comes to pricing. Just my take....
You know you mean something to them when a Newfoundlander says to you " I see you've come home from away " . I was told this by the grandfather of a very dear friend many years ago . He's gone now but I cherish those words , " home from away" .
Newfoundland is well worth a visit. Spectacular place, great people.
I am in awe of what she did, does, accomplish. She never let her long term goal for this beautiful island to be sustained & keep the generations of family able to come home or see where it all began. She seemingly renewed the waters. Strong, determined, ambitious woman 👍❤️
The world needs more people like that. Interesting and inspiring.
I Really Respect Her because She achieved Great Success and Wealth and went back Home to Help them Grow again. ALMIGHTY GOD BLESS HER and the People of Fogo Island .
Fantastic! Can you imagine when the residents learned, "Yes, these people will pay $2000 a night to meet you..."
And it's worth it.
It's amazing what money can do when it's spent thoughtfully ... wow!
Powerful lady indeed power to the women 💯
This remind me so much of the place I grew up at, on the west coast of Norway. The architecture, boats and fish are all just like over here. The people also look alike. I'd love to live there. I was stupid enough to think life would be more exiting in the city at a youth and now I'm kind of stuck here.
MARYLANDER here! This island reminds me of Smith Island , set in the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland! Crabbing is big on Smith Island. The residents were originally English, and Methodist! There is a church on Smith Island but zero bars! Watermen settled on Smith Island. They have a restaurant, food served family style! Maryland's 11 layer Smith Island cake is also made here! 🤗🥰🌊⚓⛵🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀
Fascinating little island!
Oh this story of hope and promise brought tears to my eyes, and I’m not even from there. That my friend is a story well told.
Beautiful story in today's world. Great community....this is where I wish I could be, retire & still work within the community, the fishery, welcoming the visitors. Just beautiful ❤️
Great historical backdrop on this seemingly wonderful place. The challenges that created a hardship now remind me of so many beautiful and simple worlds - all becoming the harbor for an elite group. Granted, islanders are profiting from this and rightfully so. This, just the world today everywhere. I'm unfortunate/fortunate geographically to have been and still living in such a spot, sad for those now moving or struggling in that spot. Wish all well
I would love to stay here but I could never afford $2000.
"We are optimizing for community" At least in Fogo Island that sentiment seems authentic and true. Kudos to Ms Cobb!
Absolutely inspiring!!!
I hitch-hiked across Canada to Nova Scotia to catch the all night ferry to Newfoundland. Never made it to Fogo Island but was not far from there. I have very fond memories of traveling around Newfoundland in 1976.
Hubby and I visited Fogo Island a few years ago in our campervan. We spent a few days exploring this beautiful island. The hospitality and friendliness of the people was heart warming.
Well done lady, she deserve a title/ knighted
Newfoundlander's music is like a sickness, but you'll not die from it, only improve with it. It's a great genre and infectious.
Beautiful and loving way to give back and return to a wonderful past. I love it! 😍💖
Zita Cobb should receive a Nobel Prize! Such a heartwarming story, makes me proud to be Canadian!
Love how she really considered the impact on the community from all angles, snd any unintentional consequences.
Beautiful. We stayed on Fogo this past June. The people are so welcoming. A magical place ❤️
It's no accident that she uses the term 'dignity' so much... emotional intelligence, cultural acuity and what a lovely legacy she's leaving in her lifetime.
‘What are we optimizing for?’ Beautiful mind, beautiful heart
She is amazing and wonderful. Bless her, her love for the community and the people of Fogo.
I am planning my first trip up to Newfoundland in October and HOPING to see the Northern Lights. I just came to this video and loved it! I will now be making Fogo Island a stop on my October vacation. Looks very scenic, the people and especially the lady seems very inviting, and since there are a lot of Irish and I am Irish American that is a big draw for me as well!
What a wonderful story. I do hope with my heart and soul this will last forever. It brings me such joy to know there are still wonderful good people in the world who have made good money, but lend there funds and skills to help a larger number of people. If the country had more of these people, the world would truly be a better place. God bless and keep all of you, I don't know you but I love you.
So true. How do other ppl make soooooo much $$$$ and never engage anyone or anything beyond themselves? So freaky trying to amass more and more $$$ to "just have it"? I dont get that mindset. Help. Create. Ease. Thats what i would do just like her! Good job
What a lovely name! Fogo’s have been go-getters all of our lives. ❤️
As an Irish bar area resident I love this.
Does she live their ?
What are we optimizing for? Great point! Love it. ☘️
What an amazing story. Thank you
Respect and love to the woman, to bring back and preserve what s the people, history, life and culture , and create future based on the the people and roots.
Organic turism at its best. Thank you for the inspiration
I am so very proud of this Fogo reality and their beautiful people - showing their home and what they do best! Thank You MISS Fogo!! ❤
Thongs change scent from one end to the other. Knowledge is power. God bless
I LOVE this place. The shed party is amazing.
Wow!! Such an amazing story!!! She’s a friggin’ SUPERHERO!!! Long live Fogo!
I like her. You can tell shes a genuine person. Down to earth
Excellent story, great information. Definitely on my list to visit; looks like my kind of community. Stay safe and warm.🥳😇
A simple statement by a loving father carries so much weight. His words changed the future of Fogo for the better.
Thank you for this!
What a beautiful story of community and those who make visions happen. ❤️🇨🇦
Beautiful Fogo Island!!💖💕👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Amazing story. Wish them the best
$2000 US dollar for the cheapest room... So expensive to invite people to visit the island
Gorgeous place & just added it to my bucket list
Beautiful Story💕
San Salvador Bahamas. Please preserve this same space by showing and sharing this lovely place.
I remember watching a 2012 documentry on RTE about this island. Great to see that industry and people have returned to it .
This is absolutely wonderful
Absolutely wonderful story ~ thankful ypu shared it. Good wished to Fogo Islanders !!!
Thank you ladies for making quilts, they are sweet , 💖 🐕
Love the song lyrics: be satisfied with what you got. What a beautiful reminder.
Great story, great people. Wishing all the island people the best. Thanks Zeta.
Amazing people I say.
Thanks so much for the video and info.
she learnt to be noble just like the fish she talked about. god bless you all in fogo island
A person on their way to true self-actualization....magnificent !
Much respect to this lady 👏
This is amazingly beautiful . I am rooting and praying for you all and when I have enough money I’ll come stay, I hope someday at that beautiful hotel for a Holliday … if I’m lucky to ever get one .🍀🙏😘👏
Yeah sure go ahead and spend $2000/ night at the hotel
She's amazing!
Yes she is
What a beautiful story. The falls and rise of a place she belongs. Nice sharing.
Tilting is a little community on Fogo island and the people there have a strong Irish accent, their ancestors came from Tipperary, Wexford and Waterford 😊
Sustainable beauty and a wonderful culture. Hopefully they're not done trying to diversify. Can't wait to visit ❤️
Excellent stuff. Uplifting.
2,000 per night. Goodness, I understand the motivation. Have to bring money into the island, but at the same time I guess that "hospitality" she was talking about the island is famous for is only for the richest 1 percent of the world.
Oh my gosh, this is amazing. 👏
As a child of a family that was born and raised in and on western PEI I can relate.
Wow, such a great story and an amazing person.
Such a great story, 60 Minutes.
I'm fascinated by her accent. Certainly not a standard Canadian accent. I believe some remote communities keep their original accents, like Irish or West Country British accents in such communities.
Wonderful! It’s on my bucket list.
Love this episode.
Unique island...love it
I LOVE ❤️ THIS STORY
A beautiful setting. So many possibilities.
Fascinating, great story.
I loved Woods Island, at the entrance to Corner Brook, spent some time there with my sailboat. Beautiful !
I would love to go there and stay in that gorgeous inn!!
Totally the kind of place I would love to visit. But cannot afford that inn for sure. Great job though!
Wow!
I might have to put this lovely venue on my Bucket List, it looks amazing 👏🏻🇬🇧
This is making me cry. Of joy, IAM not sure. Could be the history & rebirth. We'll see. I love to fish make quilts and just enjoy the balance of my life.
Beautiful place.
