- Come and join us in the village; spend some quality time being a local.
On this episode we discuss more about how we will sustain ourselves on Pico Island, Azores. We share with you about expanding our Canadian travel business by specializing more on Pico; one of the north Atlantic islands of Portugal. We will customize and promote various travel packages to the island of Pico and the other islands of the Azores.
Visited Aldea da Fonte; One of the first hotels built on Pico island. had a wonderful lunch at their restaurant. We did some grocery shopping, went on a refreshing ocean swim, ran into two cute baby goats and cooked dinner.
Come with us to one of the main churches in the village of Lajes; Carlos also got baptized here. Laura started working on the garden; its a work in progress.
Feeling calm; in the village!

This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Glad you are enjoying, a lot of charm and peace in these islands. Hopefully you will visit soon. Cheers!
Eh Carlos & Laura keep up the great work, those fruits are called Loquats, the Cherimoyas are one of my favourites, I googled it and there’s a quote by Mark Twain, “ the most delicious fruit”
Thank you so much Antonio; glad you are enjoying the videos. Appreciate the info as well! Saude!

Orassais and nespras.Two of my favorite fruits.
Something you don't find here in Massachusetts.
They are exotic & delicious! Take care!
11:47 I knew I recognized it for a reason -- I too swam there while visiting Pico, where I was born, back in 1980. Brings back memories. Thanks!
What a small world! It's important to stay connected with your roots! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate your comments. Stay safe!

We can attest to the fish, it's amazing. My favorite dish from the ocean as of late is Polvo Grelhado ( Grilled Octopus ) Yum!

We live in Madeira and are thinking about purchasing an investment property that we will also use. Are there enough tourist during the winter months that will make it a worthwhile investment?
Just to make sure; you're saying that you are considering buying a investment home in the Azores...correct? More and more tourists are coming to the Azores in the off season, The key is to structure the vacation rental offer properly; price it correctly, market beyond the usual booking platforms. I'm hoping to do a few videos touching on this subject. Take care!
Enjoy your videos but the volume is very lacking. It would be great to hear what you are saying.
Did you purchase a vehicle on the island or do you get a long-term rental during your stay?
We purchased a used vw golf. We are spending half a year on the island. Take care!
Pico is the highest point in Portugal .
good stuff here ive been noticing ur videos volume is LOW, please look into upping the volume other than that great work !!!!
Appreciate your comment! Great advise; we will continue to improve the audio. Cheers!
please share the prices with us, Lunch?
Hi Dan! Most of our lunches fall between 5 to 10 euros per person; it really depends on what you are having. Just yesterday Laura and I had a burger, chicken sandwich, fries and 4 mini beers; total cost for both if us 13 euros. I would say this is the average for us!!! Cheers! Stay safe!
@@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552 Awesome, thanks for the reply, see you soon.
The volume is terrible
These early ones had bad audio; for sure. They improved quite a bit. Cheers!
