All help is welcome, thank you 🙏🏽 (Additional information available on link) Link: donorbox.org/save-jorge-today

    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!

    Seeing you so happy and inspired has just made me happy and inspired. 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 :)

I've been dreaming of the Azores for years now. I think a trip out there for a few weeks will be my gift to myself when I finally finish my degree program. Maybe they'll even need an electrical engineers out there haha
