The Azores
posted by Sparky Spark in Azores forum
Hello Sergio;
Your posts are very helpful. Thank you.
I live in the USA. For long time I had lived in southern-California.
To be closer to my family, recently I moved to Florida. The Azores would be even closer.
The other thing is: for my family members in the USA the visas are valid for 90 days.
I am hoping that in the Azores, the time to reside would be unlimited for EU member
country citizens. I also have an EU member country's (Hungary) citizen passport.
.
I like to sail. I am planning to get into the sailing life more and more. The Azores would be
an interesting family base for me. I am willing to learn Portuguese and I am willing to participate in
church service too. I believe these are helpful in the integration process.
.
One thing would be my interest is business. Some slow type of business. Are there any olive orchards
on these island? I will check after these olive tree things and the climate.
.
So, I had lived in California for 20 years. I lived there in the desert, and for longer time I had lived
at the coastal area (San Diego - ish). Hawaii is close (only 3600 nautical miles of ocean).
Hawaii was developed by many different business interest, but now, it is strongly established.
I see something like this could be done to the Azores. It could become the European Hawaii.
It would take lots of investment. All I can do now is to put my two cents in.
.
California has a kind of hippy-ish counter culture, and the surfer counter culture. I am familiar
with both. The hippy-ish culture is about self reliance and growing their own food and socially self-reliant.
There are similar groups in Europe too. I have to mention that I do not want to start a hippy colony.
.
I have unusual ideas about health care. I have worked on the health care field (hospitals) for 25 years.
I think I can provide the basic health care that I care to have. The catastrophic kind of situations in health
care are better done in bigger communities, but even there the outcome is not very bright.
.
I have some ideas, and I do not think I should change the world. I think I should just fit in. May be the Azores
for a while.
