Welcome to our episode of our new house in the Azores. This is Part 3 of our series we bought a house in Portugal. This is video vlog 22 of our journey on Pico Island.
On this episode Laura and I start cleaning up around the property; especially weeds and garbage. We also trimmed some fruit trees such as figs, lime etc.
On the last part of the video we start a wood fire in the old pig house; we needed to burn some wood and clean rust from an old grill. It was pretty cool. We will be cooking some nice Pico frango/chicken here soon.
A couple of working days were split between Lajes and the Sao Mateus house; Laura had to finish painting the office. You will see throughout the video how amazing the weather was during these days of clean up; nothing but blue sky’s and still ocean.
Carlos also shares his thoughts on why its important to follow your passions/dreams. If moving to an island/other country, full or part time is what would make you happy; find a way to do it!
We hope you enjoy the video and being with us on our journey on Pico Island.
Take care of each other!

What’s the weather like over there generally ?😎🍷🚍⚓️🇬🇧
Hi Carlos and Laura I’ve just discovered your videos which I’m really enjoying thank you. I’m doing research on the Azores as I’m thinking of relocating to one of the islands. If you are available to offer me any information that might assist me I’d be most grateful. Is there anyway for me to email you please?
Hi Guys , can I ask your ages, do you have any children and do you worry about your health. All have to be taken into account when moving to more remote places in the world. 🤗
Hello, I am a new subscriber to your channel, Love your video's, Pico Island looks Beautiful, I am sure its very peaceful there .Good luck with the weeding, you have a great property. I find your videos very entertaining and informative, thank you for sharing

Sonho Açorense !
wow – i am learning about the Azores only recently through the videos of La Vagabonde ( you know it ?)Now I am binging your channel; i am very drawn to Portugal and have been learning about Madeira too . My partner and i are working on becoming Digital Nomads in the next few years. All these portuguese islands in the Atlantic look snd sound amazing !!! How is the situation with finding the workmen to renovate a home ? Is having a large volcano causing the ground to be warmer ? How about hot springs ? It is very good to know that the internet on the island is good.
I want to learn as much as possible.
Prune and keep the roses 😀
I just Love you two my Daughter and I are moving in November to Porto my name is Kandi
Carlos, what about vineyard, if any native to your area grapes could be recommended 😁
I think it's lovely that you are returning to your childhood home and have fond memories. You have to keep the roses, infact I think you should plant more.
the fennel is good to cook with the roses would be good to keep. i am sure that you will both work out the garden enjoy.
Congratulations
Nice! One suggestion: If you're going to keep the satellite disk, perhaps paint over the "Meo" logo?
My grandmother is crying in heaven… you threw the funch away and we could not get it to grow easily in theU.S.
Is Pico behind your new home an active volcano ?
