    Hey guys, my friends created this fundraising project to help Jorge, a 9 year old Venezuelan kid and his father to escape misery in Colombia & Venezuela and create a better life in Spain. All help is welcome, thank you 🙏🏽 (Additional information available on link)

    Beautiful video! Your voice and your energy is so touching. Brought tears to my eyes. I can really relate needing to be in nature to have a happy heart. I am a tree hugger too! I live in Hawaii and am very drawn to the Azores. We are 8 islands in the middle of the Pacific and Azores is 9 islands in the middle of the Atlantic. I love immersing myself in different cultures. Love your choice of music too and how we can hear the bird song and the stillness of nature. You are a talented film maker!

    Hi cheers from Canada - although this video is 2 years ago; i have just found your channel by watching another Sao Miguel island vid on youtube. I was born there but came to canada with my parents when i was very young. I feel / understand all the great things you describe about this little rock in the middle of the Atlantic. Thank you and I hope you are doing well in life in general; you have a beautiful story to your videos, truly happy for you. I will be there in Sao Miguel next week, I also dislike the "city" and need to return from time to time to get grounded. Cheers

    I am trying to start something new and I think that the Azores might be the right place. The place I liked (from the pictures, at least) is in Povoacao, which is where you stayed. What you showed looks amazing. Can't wait to go there and feel the place on my skin...
    Thank you for your contagious positivity, it made my day :)

Swam in the ocean almost every day in crystal clear water and enjoying the excellent sea food. Highly recommended. Where you there during spring time?

    The mind can quiet down in nature. and when it does, and we are experiencing an increasing sense of serenity and peacefulness, you begin to become aware of things that you’ve been distracted from for a long time, the real important things, the essential things. You don’t need another chemical to get to a place of tranquility peace and oneness and a clear sense of direction. You simply meditate in nature, and you will be filled with feelings and thoughts that are key to increased consciousness.
