Durch einige Besuche auf Pico und viele Gespräche glaube ich zu wissen, dass das Leben auf Pico nicht ganz einfach ist.

Rahel, My maternal grandparents were from Pico. My paternal grandfather was from Faial and paternal grandmother was from Flores. In 2013 I visited Faial, Pico and Sao Miguel with my cousin. It was beautiful. One of the best experiences of my life. I'm sorry that so many tourists have discovered the Azores. I suppose I am also one of those tourists, but it seems different when you're trying to trace your roots. I'd love to travel to Flores one day. I raised my 3 children on a small island off the coast of Maine in the US. I know just how peaceful island life can be. I've subscribed to your channel and look forward to see some more familiar and beautiful places.

I love that you raised your kids also on a small islands, stayed true to your roots in that way and experienced how peaceful island life can be. Thank you for sharing all of this with me and for subscribing, it means so much that you are here. My warmest wishes from Pico!

Hey Ej. I have neither been to Wales nor Cyprus but both places seem to be very beautiful. My cat is happy and yes, a lot of people still make there living on their tiny fishing boats but also from fishing a lot from shore. I don't know what's the official definition of an artist, but I consider my creative work as art and therefore call myself an artist. Sending my best wishes from Pico to Wales!

The simple life is the best life. Time passes slower than in the city. Nancy has had some issues with arthritis. The pain is getting worse as the arthritis spreads. She somehow she presses on. Our classroom is finished and my daughter is teaching painting on her days off. That is the simple life. I worked 16 hours a day to have my dream home. I am unable to teach anymore. My health is declining. Still I press on. My 58th birthday is looming I am elderly but happy.

I am not a social media expert, but on my opinion, when you show your home on video and what you do daily is kinda interesting... Because, a simple house, simple daily tasks its kinda private and attracts ppl. Maybe some bad and envious people will try to track your location for some reason, but subscribers like me will only watch your videos with interest.

Dear Rahel, Your videos are so beautiful and makes me so envious of the beautiful quiet simple life. My Parents were born on Sao Miguel, but I was born in the USA. I'm a 52 year old single women that's dreaming of leaving America and go to the Azores for the "quiet and simple life" but fear is what keeps me chained to this unhealthy American lifestyle, where all you do is work, work work and your still poor. How did you do it? Do you worry about healthcare and not speaking the language? Do you ever feel too isolated? Have you been able to make friends there and do you ever fear living alone? Im so curious how can one make a living there? You are brave Rahel and I wish I had your courage to just do itT

Dear Susan. Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out and for sharing your thoughts, sentiments and questions. I appreciate your curiosity. Firstly I know how it feels to be trapped by one's own fears and I'm sorry you are currently feeling that way but I think that's exactly where one has to start: to develop a different relationship with our fears because having fears is normal and they most likely won't just go away. Big life changes and the Unknown will always be scary and intimidating, doesn't matter how well we are prepared. In the end we have to do something we know is beneficial for us despite our fears. This process is never easy and always very uncomfortable but it will be ok. Secondly it is a lot about trusting ourselves that we can in fact deal with whatever life throws at us. If we go through with our decisions we certainly will come across difficulties but we will also find ways to deal with them. We grow with our challenges and if something is too hard we are allowed to give up or change our minds. Lastly how I'm doing it: when I first moved here I worked in tourism and since tourism is increasing a lot here lately it is a good opportunity to find work even as a foreigner. At the moment I make my living by creating videos. I personally never feel isolated and I enjoy spending most of my time alone but there are certainly people living here who do feel alone or isolated especially during the winter or during bad weather periods. Living on an island in the middle of the harsh Atlantic is not everyone's cup of tea but you most likely only will know how you feel about it once you have spent several months here. A lot of people here speak English and there are Portuguese language courses available. In terms of healthcare, I do not know how that works for American citizens but there surely is a way, since I know quite a few people from the US who have moved here. I hope this is somewhat helpful. If you have more questions you can contact me anytime via rahel-stadler@outlook.com I'm sending peaceful island vibes and lots of love your way.

Hallo liebe Rahel, ich habe mal eine Frage an Dich - stimmt es, dass die Sommer auf den Azoren milde sind und nie 26 Grad übersteigen? Oder hat sich das inzwischen auch schon verändert? Danke Dir für eine authentische Antwort. 🙂

@RahelStadler

7 күн бұрын

Hallo. Danke für deine Frage. Nein, das stimmt nicht. Die Sommer hier können ähnlich warm werden wie in Deutschland. Die maximale Temperatur, die ich hier erlebt habe waren 37 Grad. 30-33 Grad ist durchaus normal. Was noch wichtig ist zu wissen ist, dass sich die Temperaturen je nach Windrichtung viel wärmer oder viel kälter anfühlen. Auch haben wir hier oftmals eine sehr hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit und so fühlen sich auch 26 Grad bei 90% Luftfeuchtigkeit ganz anders an, als in Deutschland. Ich hoffe das hilft dir weiter. Liebe Grüße!
