I don't know.

That seems a little...

self-serving but um yeah i just wanted to do it yes it is a little boring by yourself but if you're adventurous and willing to take advantage of the opportunity in front of you and just be opportunistic uh this has been a pretty phenomenal couple of days now i wish it was longer i've been working while i was here um up at you know 5 a.m shut my laptop at 10 p.m like silly stuff like that but i have had opportunities to get out and see some things like i'm doing right now

and uh yeah it's just an incredible place that i never knew if i would ever go again and how i got the idea for it if you've ever watched any of anthony bourdain's work rest in peace unfortunately he took his life about 10 years ago he used to do all these shows where he would travel uh to these remote destinations um and he kind of had wanderlust a bit um

I feel a lot of, I don't know, similarities.

Not so much like he did a lot of drugs and he lived a much harder life than I do.

But the traveling, the solo stuff, yeah, I just always felt kind of a connection with that guy and the way he saw some things in the world.

And he did an episode from the Azores in a show called No Reservations, which is 15 to 20 years old now.

But they're just epic shows.

I watch them all the time.

And I always watch this and I'm like, that would be a cool place to go.

I'm probably never going because it would take such a concerted effort to get there.

that would be pretty cool and uh so this was my opportunity and i took it um and i didn't want to go i didn't want to go the opposite direction from america and i'm sure some people are like why didn't you go to greece or mykonos or the french riviera you know and i've done a lot of those things already i've been to south of france many times i've been to greece twice um i have not been to like mykonos or the islands which is on my list the problem with that plan was

I would need to fly Monday and I would spend most of the day Monday getting there because I'd have to go something like Porto to Paris or Rome or Athens and then connect down.

So it would be two or three flights to get there, which I did not want to do because that would soak up all of Monday.

would spend tuesday there and then i would have to do the same thing on wednesday to get back to lisbon for my return flight to america on thursday so my options were limited this was just kind of the perfect one um and i'm recording this on wednesday before redbud and i fly back to portugal today and then i'm stateside uh thursday so anyway

That's been this trip.

Great place.

I very, very much recommend it.

It's easy to get here from Canada.
