This was such a great and informational video. We are debating going to the Azores this year, and this was super helpful!

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

We're glad you enjoyed the video, and it was helpful. See you on the island. Cheers

Hello, we just arrived in California after four months in Pico and are having a real hard time acclimating ourselves. We miss the quiet life and the simplicity there. See you next year.😊

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

That is a common feeling amongst many who spend an extended amount of time on the islands. Take care Lucilia!

[@Jetmab04]

The Azores are stunning - next stop Faial and Pico and, I can't wait 💕💓💕

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

Absolutely! Faial & Pico are waiting. Safe travels!

[@ritaswider3132]

Terceira has beaches, especially in Praia da Vitoria and so does Santa Maria.

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

That is correct; I have been to beaches in Terceira, Sao Miguel and Faial, still have to go to Santa Maria, Graciosa etc. etc. If you paid close attention, I said no white sand beaches. If you know of any, please advise the location.

[@zanita66]

I believe Santa Maria has a white sand beach.

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

It's a nice light gold beach. Thank God there are not typical white beaches like those at other mass tourism destinations. Azores is better and safe from crazybess like in other places.. Take care!

[@SAVORYTV1]

Just would like to say , I really enjoy your videos and commentary. Last year , I travelled to sao Miguel. My parents are from there. Took my wife and. Son and my parents back for a holiday and it was incredible… all the islands ( including Pico ) look spec tac u lar. Thanks for sharing and best wishes. ❤

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

Thank you so much for the kind words, appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed the videos and the islands. Take care!!

[@suefromtorontoon5517]

Love the Azores, well actually only been to Pico, but fell in love immediately. Will be there April 6th for 3 weeks, can't wait. Hope to at least see Faial this time. Congratulations on the marriage, and congratulations on 8K subscribers, that's great!! Been a subscriber myself for a long time now, kept me entertained through covid and have loved watching. Good luck, may you keep growing!

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

Very Nice.

Hey Carlos and laurel thank you for your videos me and my wife’s cousin are buying house in pico even though I’m from sao Miguel like the slower pace of life hopefully i can get some of your contracts to help fix up house really enjoy your videos

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

Glad you are enjoying the video, appreciate it. As you know from our reno videos, it hasn't been smooth sailing. At the moment we are looking for a worker to finish the job, the last guy left us hanging. As for other contacts we used, here are the main ones. The notary is Ivo at (notaria Vanda Fraga), and our banker (Hugo at Santander in Lajes). I hope this helps. If you want to discuss more specific information about real estate, buying renovations etc. We have a service that might be very helpful, your call(there is a cost), I will leave our link to that. We will also continue to do other videos on subjects like the ones we have done in the past(reno, real estate etc). Take good care and good luck. Who knows; maybe we will see you on Pico.

[@zanita66]

Regarding night clubs…Terçeira and São Miguél have them (not certain about other islands but they might also have them).

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

You are correct, Sao Miguel & Terceira probably have the most and bigger scale. The smaller islands will have small discos. Take care!

[@ryaninman6307]

Very nice vid. Sounds what I like slow pace. Question if anyone knows how’s general aviation private pilot community. I’m private pilot like to fly.

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

It is very slow pace, overall. I'm sorry but we don't have any information on private aviation, it does exist. Probably best to get a hold of someone in that department(airport authorities etc). Cheers!

[@annahopp]

Burger King! With nine islands full of seafood and local beef, why would you go to Burger King? 😂

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

I think only a few go, we forget it's even here. Take care!

[@christinecabral3632]

Because sometimes you have a craving for the food from back home

You should visit the other islands before you make comments about certain things.

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

I have visited most of them. Not sure what things you are referring too, maybe be a bit more specific. Please remember we comment based on our experience, your & others might have a different take on things. Appreciate you taking the time to comment, Saude!!!
