Thanks Yvonne & Mike ☺ Jessie is truly a gem! 🔷😍 I always enjoy the walk along Avenida do Mar 😎 Any chance of featuring more native folk as we don't see enough of them in vlogs? It tends to be us "foreigners" on show for the most part! Have a wonderful week my friends 🤗

[@LivingWalks]

Well good afternoon Mr R! It's certainly our great wish to feature more native folk, we quite agree that we don't hear and see enough of them here on YT. How're you doing now you've been back a few weeks, recovered now we hope and raring to go for your next adventure? Where will that be we wonder? Shame we missed you this time round, hope we'll get that get together someday soon. All the best to you mate.

@@LivingWalks I'm seriously considering a trip back to the Pearl during the latter half of September so we'll have to sync our watches for it! It's about a week & a half since my return to reality so I'm having fun editing, more so with my new PC which has an i9 processor, so I'm now able to comfortably edit & render my videos saving so much time compared to before! Thanks for pinning my post, I'm always flattered by such attention you lavish on me! 😉 😁

[@LivingWalks]

Yes, be great to coincide, we've booked to come back to blighty on 17th September, hope that won't be too early for you? Glad to hear you're having fun editing on your new new PC, how wonderfully whizzy! Always happy to pin your gracious comments for sure.

What is life in Madeira really like for a young Madeiran? A deep dive into life for young people on this beautiful island in 2024, with Jessie from Emigre.eu

[@WildPeonies26]

Another fab video, was great to hear from a local. Thanks for posting.

[@LivingWalks]

Hello there @WildPeonies26, yes indeed, we'd love to give more Madeirans a voice if we can, so watch this space! Thanks for staying in touch.

[@eddy_creative]

Really nice casual talk, i think i got more from this video than most highly edited videos made from foreigners :)

[@LivingWalks]

He there @eddy_creative, a pleasure to hear you enjoyed it. Jessie was certainly a joy to chat to. Hope to bring you more of the like. Thanks for dropping by.

[@paulpayton8238]

I. Love Portugal and the people ❤️ especially in the South its beautiful 😍 lol from me in England

[@LivingWalks]

Hello Paul, yes we do agree, Madeirans are pretty special! Thanks for being in touch.

[@eduardolima7534]

good good city!

[@LivingWalks]

One of our favourites for sure E!

[@user-nk9cw5md8l]

Have you done any walks / tours of the Azores islands? Would be interested to hear/ find out how they differ to Madeira. I should imagine a lot less touristy and off the beaten path.

[@LivingWalks]

Hi there, thanks for the suggestion, we'd very much like to and it's certainly on our radar, so do watch this space!

[@MundodeCrisMorena]

I’m from Madeira, I agree with pretty much everything she said except two things, we generally eat normal food, rice, canned tuna, normal food from the supermarket I personally don’t eat madeira typical food every week nor every month. The other thing is even if I’m proudly from Madeira, and I love it here, I probably would answer that I feel more Portuguese than Madeiran. Portugal is my nation and gives me a bigger sense of identity, and ofc Portugal, Portuguese being my language and the Portuguese culture and music also shaped Madeira. So being Madeiran is being a privileged Portuguese, those things such as Portuguese music, food, history and legacy are our identity and we also have simultaneously our own Madeira identity. That’s why I feel more Portuguese than Madeiran.

[@LivingWalks]

How very nice to hear from someone from from Madeira, interesting to hear that you agree with most things Jessie said except for your thoughts about food and that you yourself feel more Portuguese than Madeiran. We've been very much wanting to give Madeiran's a voice on the channel for a long time. I hope we can meet up with more along the way and hear more from a Madeiran's perspective. Thanks for dropping by.

[@WyldStallion-bs9oo]

Nacional and Santa Clara in the Premier Liga next season how about that! Martimo missed out though :-(

[@LivingWalks]

Ah indeed!

[@WyldStallion-bs9oo]

Great stuff. It seems like that for us NON EU people though getting a chance to stay and live there for more than 90 days is getting tougher. Perhaps by chance the islands are different from mainland Portugal when it comes to these things?

[@LivingWalks]

Hiya @WyldStallion-bs9oo, yes quite so. Being Brits we can hardly conceive of those days when it was all so easy. Thank goodness for my new Irish passport. Thanks grandad!

[@WyldStallion-bs9oo]

@@LivingWalks Got that right. I happen to have ancestory that goes back to the USA Revolutionary war in the 1700s. No Euro ancestory to help me there...ha ha

[@LivingWalks]

@@WyldStallion-bs9oo Grrrr, not a lot of help there then from the 'ol ancestors. Still possible through other routes though and worth looking into.

[@wolframluchner5316]

Never look into the camera in an interview. Just keep staring into the ground. 👍🏼

[@LivingWalks]

Well what can I say wolf, Jessie did her very best!
