She Left Europe to Build a Shark Conservation NGO in Angola, Here’s What It Really Takes

Angola Project began as a graduate idea, but the real question is this: what happens when you turn a passion into your entire life? In this conversation, Ana Lucia Soares shares why she chose to leave stability in Portugal and commit full time to building shark conservation in Angola, and why that decision matters for ocean protection in underrepresented regions.
Shark conservation in West Africa is not simple, and that is exactly the point. Ana Lucia explains what it takes to launch Elizmo Angola, navigate funding uncertainty, create local partnerships, and build trust in communities where conservation infrastructure is still developing. This is not just about sharks; it is about leadership, risk, and long-term impact.
Starting an NGO sounds inspiring, but it is also deeply personal and emotionally demanding. One surprising insight from this episode is how clarity often comes not from certainty, but from stepping into uncertainty anyway. The move to Angola was not guaranteed to succeed, but waiting for perfect conditions would have meant never starting at all.

Anna Lucia
6
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:05,041
Furtado-Sores,

01:00:05,416 --> 01:00:06,041

01:00:07,041 --> 01:00:08,541
on her life,
10
01:00:08,833 --> 01:00:09,541
you know, with
11
01:00:09,541 --> 01:00:10,291
the Angola
12
01:00:10,291 --> 01:00:10,750
Project,
13
01:00:10,750 --> 01:00:11,416
which she came up
14
01:00:11,416 --> 01:00:12,833
with during her
15
01:00:12,833 --> 01:00:14,208
graduate studies.
16
01:00:14,541 --> 01:00:15,416
She is actually,
17
01:00:15,625 --> 01:00:15,958
you know, she
18
01:00:15,958 --> 01:00:17,000
normally lives in
19
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:17,375
Portugal
20
01:00:17,375 --> 01:00:18,166
and she spends
21
01:00:18,166 --> 01:00:18,750
some time
22
01:00:18,750 --> 01:00:19,500
in Angola,
23
01:00:19,958 --> 01:00:20,541
and now she's
24
01:00:20,541 --> 01:00:20,958
talking about
25
01:00:20,958 --> 01:00:21,666
moving to Angola
26
01:00:21,666 --> 01:00:22,791
to follow this as
27
01:00:22,791 --> 01:00:23,791
a full-time
28
01:00:23,791 --> 01:00:25,083
passion, a
29
01:00:25,083 --> 01:00:26,291
full-time job.
30
01:00:26,291 --> 01:00:26,791
So it's no longer
31
01:00:26,791 --> 01:00:27,500
just a passion,
32
01:00:27,500 --> 01:00:28,000
no longer just
33
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:29,458
graduate work.
34
01:00:29,500 --> 01:00:30,625
It is full-time
35
01:00:30,625 --> 01:00:31,291
for her. She's
36
01:00:31,291 --> 01:00:32,083
giving it a shot.
37
01:00:32,375 --> 01:00:32,625
We're going to
38
01:00:32,625 --> 01:00:33,041
talk about
39
01:00:33,041 --> 01:00:33,583
everything that
40
01:00:33,583 --> 01:00:34,583
goes into that,
41
01:00:34,625 --> 01:00:35,500
including big
42
01:00:35,500 --> 01:00:36,500
life changes.
43
01:00:36,875 --> 01:00:37,041
We're going to
44
01:00:37,041 --> 01:00:37,666
talk about that
45
01:00:37,666 --> 01:00:38,458
on this episode
46
01:00:38,458 --> 01:00:38,958

01:00:51,791 --> 01:00:52,416

01:00:52,416 --> 01:00:53,750

Lucia
67
01:00:54,041 --> 01:00:55,041
Furtado-Sores?
68
01:00:55,791 --> 01:00:57,666
Yep. Yep. She was
69
01:00:57,666 --> 01:00:58,583
on the show about
70
01:00:58,583 --> 01:00:59,791
two years ago, I
71
01:00:59,791 --> 01:01:00,375
think it was.
72
01:01:01,041 --> 01:01:02,125
And then she was
73
01:01:02,125 --> 01:01:03,125
a great guest.
74
01:01:03,416 --> 01:01:03,791
I've known her
75
01:01:03,791 --> 01:01:04,541
for quite
76
01:01:04,541 --> 01:01:05,000
a while.
77
01:01:06,125 --> 01:01:07,208
And, you know,
78
01:01:07,333 --> 01:01:08,000
she has some
79
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:08,708
updates to bring
80
01:01:08,708 --> 01:01:09,500
us up to date.
81
01:01:09,500 --> 01:01:09,958
She's just
82
01:01:09,958 --> 01:01:11,041
launching her
83
01:01:11,041 --> 01:01:12,166
NGO,
84
01:01:13,208 --> 01:01:14,041
Elizmo Angola,
85
01:01:14,333 --> 01:01:14,708
and she's got a
86
01:01:14,708 --> 01:01:15,541
new website up
87
01:01:15,541 --> 01:01:15,916
there, which
88
01:01:15,916 --> 01:01:17,458
we'll post here
89
01:01:17,458 --> 01:01:18,625
so people can go
90
01:01:18,625 --> 01:01:18,916
there and
91
01:01:18,916 --> 01:01:19,500
check it out.
92
01:01:20,125 --> 01:01:20,583
And she's just
93
01:01:20,583 --> 01:01:21,541
taken the step,
94
01:01:21,541 --> 01:01:22,250
you know,
95
01:01:22,250 --> 01:01:22,833
basically just
96
01:01:22,833 --> 01:01:23,666
starting her own
97
01:01:23,666 --> 01:01:24,166
organization
98
01:01:24,500 --> 01:01:25,291
rather than
99
01:01:25,291 --> 01:01:26,083
waiting around
100
01:01:26,083 --> 01:01:27,000
for life to
101
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:27,791
happen and stuff.
102
01:01:28,583 --> 01:01:29,125
And life is
103
01:01:29,125 --> 01:01:29,708
happening for
104
01:01:29,708 --> 01:01:30,250
her, which we'll
105
01:01:30,250 --> 01:01:31,083
get into today as
106
01:01:31,083 --> 01:01:32,291
well in the
107
01:01:32,291 --> 01:01:32,750
episode.
108
01:01:33,541 --> 01:01:34,500
But yeah, she's
109
01:01:34,500 --> 01:01:35,166
definitely one of
110
01:01:35,166 --> 01:01:35,875
these early
111
01:01:35,875 --> 01:01:36,625
career, just
112
01:01:36,625 --> 01:01:38,000
real, in my
113
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:38,500
opinion, real
114
01:01:38,500 --> 01:01:39,500
rising stars in
115
01:01:39,500 --> 01:01:40,000
the field.
116
01:01:40,583 --> 01:01:41,375
And she works in
117
01:01:41,375 --> 01:01:42,250
a difficult
118
01:01:42,250 --> 01:01:43,458
environment in
119
01:01:43,458 --> 01:01:44,958
Angola there, but
120
01:01:44,958 --> 01:01:45,416
she's really
121
01:01:45,416 --> 01:01:46,083
committed to what
122
01:01:46,083 --> 01:01:46,666
she's doing.
123
01:01:46,666 --> 01:01:47,041
She's very
124
01:01:47,041 --> 01:01:47,666
passionate and
125
01:01:47,666 --> 01:01:48,291
very driven.
126
01:01:48,916 --> 01:01:50,250
And we like to
127
01:01:50,250 --> 01:01:50,458
see that.
128
01:01:50,500 --> 01:01:51,583
And we just, you
129
01:01:51,583 --> 01:01:51,958
know, she's a
130
01:01:51,958 --> 01:01:53,083
good, she's a
131
01:01:53,083 --> 01:01:53,750
good role model
132
01:01:53,750 --> 01:01:54,541
for other young
133
01:01:54,541 --> 01:01:55,708
people just
134
01:01:55,708 --> 01:01:56,541
starting out, you
135
01:01:56,541 --> 01:01:56,958
know, she's not
136
01:01:56,958 --> 01:01:57,791
that old too, you
137
01:01:57,791 --> 01:01:58,458
know, but she
138
01:01:58,458 --> 01:01:59,000
knows exactly.
139
01:01:59,166 --> 01:01:59,500
She just knows
140
01:01:59,500 --> 01:01:59,875
what she
141
01:01:59,875 --> 01:02:00,541
wants to do.
142
01:02:00,541 --> 01:02:01,416
And if you're
143
01:02:01,416 --> 01:02:01,791
other young
144
01:02:01,791 --> 01:02:02,416
people out there
145
01:02:02,416 --> 01:02:02,833
looking, you
146
01:02:02,833 --> 01:02:03,166
know, you can
147
01:02:03,166 --> 01:02:04,041
stand around and
148
01:02:04,041 --> 01:02:04,625
wait for life to
149
01:02:04,625 --> 01:02:05,291
happen or you can
150
01:02:05,291 --> 01:02:07,083
do like Lucia has
151
01:02:07,083 --> 01:02:07,583
done and just
152
01:02:07,583 --> 01:02:08,708
kind of take life
153
01:02:08,708 --> 01:02:09,500
by the horns and
154
01:02:09,500 --> 01:02:10,625
just go for it.
155
01:02:11,583 --> 01:02:12,166
So anyway, she's
156
01:02:12,166 --> 01:02:12,458
a good
157
01:02:12,458 --> 01:02:12,958

01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:18,875
real mouthful for
238
01:03:18,875 --> 01:03:19,458
me to pronounce
239
01:03:19,458 --> 01:03:20,041
since all

01:03:20,041 --> 01:03:20,625

she's the

going to update
251
01:03:29,458 --> 01:03:30,250

252
01:03:30,250 --> 01:03:31,250
ridiculously busy
253
01:03:31,250 --> 01:03:31,833
schedule.
254
01:03:32,333 --> 01:03:33,208
And I thought,
255
01:03:33,208 --> 01:03:33,500

256
01:03:33,500 --> 01:03:34,208

she's been up to.
260
01:03:37,458 --> 01:03:38,208
So, Lucia,

01:03:38,708 --> 01:03:39,208

01:03:47,916 --> 01:03:49,000
And yeah, I'm
270
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:49,916
thrilled to share
271
01:03:49,916 --> 01:03:50,875
what I've been
272
01:03:50,875 --> 01:03:51,458
doing since the last time.
273
01:03:51,500 --> 01:03:53,208
Great. Well,
274
01:03:53,208 --> 01:03:54,208

01:03:57,458 --> 01:03:58,208
highlights you've
280
01:03:58,208 --> 01:03:58,666
been up to?
281
01:03:58,666 --> 01:03:59,041
They started to
282
01:03:59,041 --> 01:03:59,416

283
01:03:59,416 --> 01:04:00,375

284
01:04:00,375 --> 01:04:01,208

285
01:04:01,208 --> 01:04:02,166
think, Lucia,
286
01:04:02,416 --> 01:04:02,708
you're going to
287
01:04:02,708 --> 01:04:03,541
have to introduce
288
01:04:03,541 --> 01:04:04,083
your friend.
289
01:04:04,375 --> 01:04:04,750
If anybody
290
01:04:04,750 --> 01:04:05,750

295
01:04:09,833 --> 01:04:10,375
to come
296
01:04:10,375 --> 01:04:11,541
and join us.
297
01:04:12,083 --> 01:04:12,458
I think he's
298
01:04:12,458 --> 01:04:13,208
looking for she's
299
01:04:13,208 --> 01:04:13,625
looking for a
300
01:04:13,625 --> 01:04:14,250
little bit of
301
01:04:14,250 --> 01:04:15,000
attention from.
302
01:04:15,500 --> 01:04:16,041
I know.
303
01:04:16,625 --> 01:04:16,958
Absolutely
304
01:04:16,958 --> 01:04:17,458
adorable.
305
01:04:18,500 --> 01:04:20,333
So her name is
306
01:04:20,333 --> 01:04:21,291
Aurora, like our
307
01:04:21,291 --> 01:04:22,333
own aborialis.
308
01:04:22,333 --> 01:04:24,708
Yeah. Yeah. She's
309
01:04:24,708 --> 01:04:25,791
eight months old
310
01:04:25,791 --> 01:04:27,291
and she's a rat
311
01:04:27,291 --> 01:04:27,708
on it up
312
01:04:27,708 --> 01:04:28,541
for the gala.
313
01:04:28,541 --> 01:04:30,750
So, yeah, I
314
01:04:30,750 --> 01:04:31,500
really like her.
315
01:04:31,500 --> 01:04:32,208
And I just got
316
01:04:32,208 --> 01:04:33,166
home. This is why
317
01:04:33,166 --> 01:04:33,875
she's like this.
318
01:04:34,083 --> 01:04:34,500
So I'm very
319
01:04:34,500 --> 01:04:36,166
sorry. Yeah.
320
01:04:36,500 --> 01:04:37,416
She's bothering a
321
01:04:37,416 --> 01:04:38,416
little bit. At
322
01:04:38,416 --> 01:04:39,041
least she's not
323
01:04:39,041 --> 01:04:40,000
farting. Could be
324
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:40,750
worse. Could be
325
01:04:40,750 --> 01:04:41,250
really worse.
326
01:04:41,500 --> 01:04:42,541
Yeah. She's just
327
01:04:42,541 --> 01:04:43,458
fun to see on my
328
01:04:43,458 --> 01:04:44,083
life. She's
329
01:04:44,083 --> 01:04:45,666
adorable. We're
330
01:04:45,666 --> 01:04:46,250

335
01:04:49,750 --> 01:04:50,666

336
01:04:50,958 --> 01:04:52,375
Sharks. Sharks.
337
01:04:52,666 --> 01:04:53,250
Well, yes, of
338
01:04:53,250 --> 01:04:54,000
course. Sharks. A little
339
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:54,791
interesting. But
340
01:04:54,791 --> 01:04:56,166
yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
341
01:04:56,416 --> 01:04:57,500
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
342
01:04:58,541 --> 01:04:58,916
Yeah. So
343
01:04:58,916 --> 01:05:00,583
yeah. So we.
344
01:05:01,750 --> 01:05:02,291
Yeah. Going back
345
01:05:02,291 --> 01:05:05,500
to so last year
346
01:05:05,500 --> 01:05:07,125
we we've not
347
01:05:07,125 --> 01:05:08,958
we've not picked
348
01:05:08,958 --> 01:05:09,916
for like a year,
349
01:05:09,916 --> 01:05:11,083
I think. So I
350
01:05:11,083 --> 01:05:11,458
will start with the first year.
351
01:05:11,500 --> 01:05:12,083
I will start with
352
01:05:12,083 --> 01:05:13,166
something that
353
01:05:13,166 --> 01:05:13,833
was really,
354
01:05:13,833 --> 01:05:14,375
really important
355
01:05:14,375 --> 01:05:15,166
for the project,
356
01:05:15,166 --> 01:05:15,833
which was the
357
01:05:15,833 --> 01:05:16,625
visit of my
358
01:05:16,625 --> 01:05:18,250
supervisor. And I
359
01:05:18,250 --> 01:05:18,875
think a lot of
360
01:05:18,875 --> 01:05:20,166
people who know
361
01:05:20,166 --> 01:05:21,666
who she is. Dr.
362
01:05:22,916 --> 01:05:25,625
A true star in
363
01:05:25,625 --> 01:05:26,541
the field. Right.
364
01:05:26,916 --> 01:05:27,583
So for me, you
365
01:05:27,583 --> 01:05:28,333
could imagine
366
01:05:28,333 --> 01:05:29,666
that I had to
367
01:05:29,666 --> 01:05:30,916
receive Dr. V. I
368
01:05:30,916 --> 01:05:32,083
was nervous.
369
01:05:34,083 --> 01:05:35,291
Yeah. Of course.
370
01:05:35,625 --> 01:05:37,875
So I know I know
371
01:05:37,875 --> 01:05:39,000
I was doing the
372
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:39,666
project for all
373
01:05:39,666 --> 01:05:40,833
these years, but
374
01:05:40,833 --> 01:05:42,666
she's someone
375
01:05:42,666 --> 01:05:43,500
that believed in
376
01:05:43,500 --> 01:05:44,083
me since the
377
01:05:44,083 --> 01:05:45,083
beginning. And
378
01:05:45,083 --> 01:05:47,875
from which I
379
01:05:47,875 --> 01:05:49,625
learned a lot.
380
01:05:50,041 --> 01:05:50,958
And she's never
381
01:05:50,958 --> 01:05:51,458
been in the field.
382
01:05:51,500 --> 01:05:52,875
But me and
383
01:05:52,875 --> 01:05:55,416
Angola. So for me
384
01:05:55,416 --> 01:05:57,083
was obviously in
385
01:05:57,083 --> 01:05:58,125
terms of I really
386
01:05:58,125 --> 01:05:59,000
respect her work.
387
01:05:59,208 --> 01:06:00,500
So I did. I was
388
01:06:00,500 --> 01:06:01,250
nervous because I
389
01:06:01,250 --> 01:06:02,250
wanted this to be
390
01:06:02,250 --> 01:06:02,833
excellent and
391
01:06:02,833 --> 01:06:03,083
excellent
392
01:06:03,083 --> 01:06:03,875
experience for
393
01:06:03,875 --> 01:06:06,208
her, which in her
394
01:06:06,208 --> 01:06:07,458
words, it was.
395
01:06:07,500 --> 01:06:09,291
She spent about a
396
01:06:09,291 --> 01:06:10,916
week with me
397
01:06:10,916 --> 01:06:12,041
there and we did
398
01:06:12,041 --> 01:06:12,708
a little bit of
399
01:06:12,708 --> 01:06:14,000
everything. We
400
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:14,791
visit all the
401
01:06:14,791 --> 01:06:15,958
sites. We spoke
402
01:06:15,958 --> 01:06:16,750
with the people
403
01:06:16,750 --> 01:06:18,083
that were
404
01:06:18,083 --> 01:06:18,666
involved in the
405
01:06:18,666 --> 01:06:20,541
project. And bear
406
01:06:20,541 --> 01:06:22,458
in mind that it's
407
01:06:22,458 --> 01:06:23,750
so this the
408
01:06:23,750 --> 01:06:25,166
project is now
409
01:06:25,166 --> 01:06:25,791
based in the
410
01:06:25,791 --> 01:06:26,458
Namib region,
411
01:06:26,458 --> 01:06:27,125
which is in the
412
01:06:27,125 --> 01:06:27,875
south of Angola.
413
01:06:28,666 --> 01:06:30,000
And just the
414
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:30,875
province of Namib
415
01:06:30,875 --> 01:06:32,291
is huge. It's
416
01:06:32,291 --> 01:06:33,625
like the size of
417
01:06:33,625 --> 01:06:34,416
almost Portugal.
418
01:06:35,166 --> 01:06:35,958
So I will say
419
01:06:35,958 --> 01:06:37,125
that. Yeah. So I
420
01:06:37,125 --> 01:06:37,833
will say that,
421
01:06:37,833 --> 01:06:38,916
yeah, we were
422
01:06:38,916 --> 01:06:39,875
driving spending
423
01:06:39,875 --> 01:06:40,708
a lot of time in
424
01:06:40,708 --> 01:06:41,500
the car together.
425
01:06:41,500 --> 01:06:42,250
So she had time
426
01:06:42,250 --> 01:06:42,958
to speak with the
427
01:06:42,958 --> 01:06:44,166
volunteers, even
428
01:06:44,166 --> 01:06:44,958
the driver that
429
01:06:44,958 --> 01:06:45,625
is like kind of
430
01:06:45,625 --> 01:06:46,125
part of the
431
01:06:46,125 --> 01:06:46,875
family now.
432
01:06:47,500 --> 01:06:48,083
Our Angola
433
01:06:48,083 --> 01:06:49,166
project family.
434
01:06:49,416 --> 01:06:50,625
So, yeah, she
435
01:06:50,625 --> 01:06:51,583
wants to go back
436
01:06:51,583 --> 01:06:52,083
and she was
437
01:06:52,083 --> 01:06:53,916
really happy with
438
01:06:53,916 --> 01:06:54,958
what she saw in
439
01:06:54,958 --> 01:06:56,750
terms of time,
440
01:06:56,750 --> 01:06:58,750
resources and
441
01:06:58,750 --> 01:07:00,583
also my efforts
442
01:07:00,583 --> 01:07:02,416
there. So for me,
443
01:07:02,416 --> 01:07:03,875
it was really a
444
01:07:03,875 --> 01:07:05,541
mark that I can
445
01:07:05,541 --> 01:07:07,166
say I do respect
446
01:07:07,166 --> 01:07:08,458
a lot of people's opinions.
447
01:07:08,500 --> 01:07:10,083
But I needed that
448
01:07:10,083 --> 01:07:10,875
one. I needed her
449
01:07:10,875 --> 01:07:12,083
to see and tell
450
01:07:12,083 --> 01:07:12,958
me, yeah, you're
451
01:07:12,958 --> 01:07:14,208
doing well. And
452
01:07:14,208 --> 01:07:14,916
this is the way
453
01:07:14,916 --> 01:07:16,250
to go. So it
454
01:07:16,250 --> 01:07:17,125
really motivated
455
01:07:17,125 --> 01:07:18,250
me to do more.
456
01:07:18,666 --> 01:07:20,125
And yeah, and
457
01:07:20,125 --> 01:07:21,083
this is how we
458
01:07:21,083 --> 01:07:21,791
end up like with
459
01:07:21,791 --> 01:07:22,583
the website and
460
01:07:22,583 --> 01:07:24,791
other ideas, no
461
01:07:24,791 --> 01:07:26,041
other objectives
462
01:07:26,041 --> 01:07:26,916
that I have now
463
01:07:26,916 --> 01:07:27,458
for this year.
464
01:07:27,500 --> 01:07:29,416
So, yeah, it was
465
01:07:29,416 --> 01:07:29,916
really important
466
01:07:29,916 --> 01:07:30,666
for her to come
467
01:07:30,666 --> 01:07:31,625
and practice.
468
01:07:31,833 --> 01:07:32,250
Well, she was
469
01:07:32,250 --> 01:07:33,083
also doing field
470
01:07:33,083 --> 01:07:33,958
work with me,
471
01:07:33,958 --> 01:07:34,833
which also helped
472
01:07:34,833 --> 01:07:36,000
me because, you
473
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:36,916
know, someone
474
01:07:36,916 --> 01:07:37,416
that has like
475
01:07:37,416 --> 01:07:38,333
lots of years of
476
01:07:38,333 --> 01:07:38,833
experience.
477
01:07:39,333 --> 01:07:39,916
Sometimes you
478
01:07:39,916 --> 01:07:41,041
look because I'm
479
01:07:41,041 --> 01:07:41,333
doing
480
01:07:41,333 --> 01:07:43,833
measurements and
481
01:07:43,833 --> 01:07:45,458
so taxonomy, etc.
482
01:07:45,500 --> 01:07:46,541
But she's so
483
01:07:46,541 --> 01:07:47,666
quick and you
484
01:07:47,666 --> 01:07:48,166
feel like the
485
01:07:48,166 --> 01:07:48,833
pressure to do
486
01:07:48,833 --> 01:07:49,416
it, but you do
487
01:07:49,416 --> 01:07:49,916
it, you know,
488
01:07:49,916 --> 01:07:50,375
like sometimes
489
01:07:50,375 --> 01:07:51,333
you need someone
490
01:07:51,333 --> 01:07:52,625
close to you that
491
01:07:52,625 --> 01:07:55,208
pushes you to do
492
01:07:55,208 --> 01:07:56,208
better and more
493
01:07:56,208 --> 01:07:56,833
and faster.
494
01:07:57,083 --> 01:07:57,916
And I really
495
01:07:57,916 --> 01:07:58,791
challenged me and
496
01:07:58,791 --> 01:07:59,375
it was really
497
01:07:59,375 --> 01:08:01,208
amazing. So she
498
01:08:01,208 --> 01:08:02,000
pushed me to even
499
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:02,708
do more than I
500
01:08:02,708 --> 01:08:04,583
was doing. And
501
01:08:04,583 --> 01:08:05,708
yeah, and it
502
01:08:05,708 --> 01:08:06,625
changed also the
503
01:08:06,625 --> 01:08:07,416
project in terms
504
01:08:07,416 --> 01:08:08,625
of the rhythm
505
01:08:08,625 --> 01:08:09,500
that we have,
506
01:08:09,791 --> 01:08:10,166
even the
507
01:08:10,166 --> 01:08:10,708
volunteers
508
01:08:10,708 --> 01:08:12,333
because so some
509
01:08:12,333 --> 01:08:13,000
of the volunteers
510
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:13,458
didn't speak English.
511
01:08:13,500 --> 01:08:15,500
Well, they at the
512
01:08:15,500 --> 01:08:16,083
end of the week,
513
01:08:16,083 --> 01:08:16,291
they were
514
01:08:16,291 --> 01:08:17,083
speaking somehow
515
01:08:17,083 --> 01:08:17,958
English with her.
516
01:08:18,291 --> 01:08:18,750
She was putting
517
01:08:18,750 --> 01:08:19,833
me into working
518
01:08:19,833 --> 01:08:20,666
with one of them.
519
01:08:20,958 --> 01:08:21,583
So she was
520
01:08:21,583 --> 01:08:22,208
measuring and
521
01:08:22,208 --> 01:08:23,250
like, and saying
522
01:08:23,250 --> 01:08:24,041
the number like,
523
01:08:24,041 --> 01:08:24,625
for example, the
524
01:08:24,625 --> 01:08:26,291
land of the shark
525
01:08:26,291 --> 01:08:27,958
or the sex, but
526
01:08:27,958 --> 01:08:28,416
they were getting
527
01:08:28,416 --> 01:08:28,958
everything.
528
01:08:29,208 --> 01:08:30,041
They had to there
529
01:08:30,041 --> 01:08:30,666
was no chance
530
01:08:30,666 --> 01:08:31,500
they knew that
531
01:08:31,500 --> 01:08:32,250
she was there and
532
01:08:32,250 --> 01:08:33,416
who she was. And
533
01:08:33,416 --> 01:08:34,375
this was such a
534
01:08:34,375 --> 01:08:34,666
learning
535
01:08:34,666 --> 01:08:35,708
opportunity that
536
01:08:35,708 --> 01:08:37,166
somehow English
537
01:08:37,166 --> 01:08:38,291
game, like to
538
01:08:38,291 --> 01:08:39,083
their heads, like
539
01:08:39,083 --> 01:08:39,666
straight away,
540
01:08:39,666 --> 01:08:40,166
like it was
541
01:08:40,166 --> 01:08:40,458
amazing. Yeah.
542
01:08:40,500 --> 01:08:42,833
So for all of us,
543
01:08:42,833 --> 01:08:43,125
it was very
544
01:08:43,125 --> 01:08:44,416
motivating for
545
01:08:44,416 --> 01:08:45,750
them to also see
546
01:08:45,750 --> 01:08:47,458
that so I'm
547
01:08:47,458 --> 01:08:48,958
supervising them
548
01:08:48,958 --> 01:08:50,083
and she's not a
549
01:08:50,083 --> 01:08:51,083
supervisor. So I
550
01:08:51,083 --> 01:08:52,625
bought my boss,
551
01:08:52,958 --> 01:08:53,791
you know, and it
552
01:08:53,791 --> 01:08:54,583
was nice for them
553
01:08:54,583 --> 01:08:55,500
to also see that
554
01:08:55,500 --> 01:08:57,208
there's there's
555
01:08:57,208 --> 01:08:58,250
more than me
556
01:08:58,250 --> 01:09:00,791
above them and
557
01:09:00,791 --> 01:09:01,750
teaching them and
558
01:09:01,750 --> 01:09:02,791
in his learning
559
01:09:02,791 --> 01:09:03,458
experience and everything.
560
01:09:03,500 --> 01:09:05,000
Yeah, it was
561
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:07,000
really nice. I
562
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:09,000
also had the so
563
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:09,791
it was it was a
564
01:09:09,791 --> 01:09:10,083
year of the
565
01:09:10,083 --> 01:09:11,375
visits. So I had
566
01:09:11,375 --> 01:09:12,208
this save our
567
01:09:12,208 --> 01:09:13,750
seats. Oh, yeah.
568
01:09:14,041 --> 01:09:15,416
Telling grantee
569
01:09:15,416 --> 01:09:18,333
and and is I is
570
01:09:18,333 --> 01:09:20,416
assistant. So
571
01:09:20,416 --> 01:09:21,291
both of them,
572
01:09:21,291 --> 01:09:22,708
they came to
573
01:09:22,708 --> 01:09:23,333
Angola and they
574
01:09:23,333 --> 01:09:24,500
spent one week
575
01:09:24,500 --> 01:09:25,416
with me and then
576
01:09:25,416 --> 01:09:26,375
they went diving
577
01:09:26,375 --> 01:09:28,916
to the center of
578
01:09:28,916 --> 01:09:30,541
the central zone,
579
01:09:30,541 --> 01:09:31,458
which is this.
580
01:09:31,500 --> 01:09:32,416
We have the city
581
01:09:32,416 --> 01:09:33,666
of Bengala, which
582
01:09:33,666 --> 01:09:36,000
is I will say is
583
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:37,833
warm waters and
584
01:09:37,833 --> 01:09:38,875
the better
585
01:09:38,875 --> 01:09:39,625
conditions to
586
01:09:39,625 --> 01:09:40,875
dive. So in the
587
01:09:40,875 --> 01:09:41,666
meat, there is no
588
01:09:41,666 --> 01:09:42,875
diving right now,
589
01:09:43,083 --> 01:09:43,458
which is
590
01:09:43,458 --> 01:09:44,041
something that I
591
01:09:44,041 --> 01:09:44,458
would like in the future.
592
01:09:44,500 --> 01:09:46,333
This will be what
593
01:09:46,333 --> 01:09:47,000
I'm going to say
594
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:48,916
later about the
595
01:09:48,916 --> 01:09:49,583
hub that I'm
596
01:09:49,583 --> 01:09:50,208
trying to create.
597
01:09:50,708 --> 01:09:51,291
So there's no one
598
01:09:51,291 --> 01:09:52,458
doing diving
599
01:09:52,458 --> 01:09:53,375
there, although
600
01:09:53,375 --> 01:09:53,666
there are
601
01:09:53,666 --> 01:09:54,500
conditions, but
602
01:09:54,500 --> 01:09:55,250
it's really hard
603
01:09:55,250 --> 01:09:55,708
because there's
604
01:09:55,708 --> 01:09:57,458
no any material
605
01:09:57,458 --> 01:09:59,000
or anyone to
606
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:00,291
support this type
607
01:10:00,291 --> 01:10:01,083
of, you know,
608
01:10:01,083 --> 01:10:01,833
activity here.
609
01:10:02,375 --> 01:10:02,666
Is there much
610
01:10:02,666 --> 01:10:03,625
diving in Angola
611
01:10:03,625 --> 01:10:04,416
anywhere? Is
612
01:10:04,416 --> 01:10:05,583
there much scuba
613
01:10:05,583 --> 01:10:06,041
diving or
614
01:10:06,041 --> 01:10:06,250
anything?
615
01:10:07,500 --> 01:10:09,250
There's only one
616
01:10:09,250 --> 01:10:09,833
scuba diving
617
01:10:09,833 --> 01:10:11,375
school school. So
618
01:10:11,375 --> 01:10:13,833
yeah, which is in
619
01:10:13,833 --> 01:10:15,833
Bengala. We we
620
01:10:15,833 --> 01:10:16,458
don't know each
621
01:10:16,458 --> 01:10:17,875
other personally,
622
01:10:17,875 --> 01:10:18,750
but we
623
01:10:18,750 --> 01:10:20,333
collaborated and
624
01:10:20,333 --> 01:10:21,375
we this is one of
625
01:10:21,375 --> 01:10:22,333
the part of one
626
01:10:22,333 --> 01:10:22,791
of the things
627
01:10:22,791 --> 01:10:23,333
that I want to do
628
01:10:23,333 --> 01:10:24,708
in the future is
629
01:10:24,708 --> 01:10:25,875
with their help
630
01:10:25,875 --> 01:10:27,833
to establish the
631
01:10:27,833 --> 01:10:28,875
project also in
632
01:10:28,875 --> 01:10:29,750
Bengala, which is
633
01:10:29,750 --> 01:10:30,458
the central zone.
634
01:10:30,500 --> 01:10:31,791
So saying that I
635
01:10:31,791 --> 01:10:32,750
want would like
636
01:10:32,750 --> 01:10:33,833
to expand at
637
01:10:33,833 --> 01:10:34,625
least have people
638
01:10:34,625 --> 01:10:35,500
in the Norton
639
01:10:35,500 --> 01:10:36,500
Center and South
640
01:10:36,500 --> 01:10:37,000
Indian zone
641
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:38,000
because you have
642
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:38,375
the different
643
01:10:38,375 --> 01:10:39,250
currents and it's
644
01:10:39,250 --> 01:10:39,916
important to see
645
01:10:39,916 --> 01:10:40,416
the differences
646
01:10:40,416 --> 01:10:41,083
and the
647
01:10:41,083 --> 01:10:41,833
country's huge.
648
01:10:41,833 --> 01:10:42,333
I cannot be
649
01:10:42,333 --> 01:10:43,458
everywhere. So it
650
01:10:43,458 --> 01:10:44,375
will be nice to
651
01:10:44,375 --> 01:10:45,916
replicate the
652
01:10:45,916 --> 01:10:46,958
project and have
653
01:10:46,958 --> 01:10:47,958
someone there and
654
01:10:47,958 --> 01:10:48,333
they're really
655
01:10:48,333 --> 01:10:49,166
open about it
656
01:10:49,166 --> 01:10:50,666
because they also
657
01:10:50,666 --> 01:10:52,791
do some cleanups
658
01:10:52,791 --> 01:10:53,833
and they really
659
01:10:53,833 --> 01:10:56,083
want to protect
660
01:10:56,083 --> 01:10:56,625
the environment
661
01:10:56,625 --> 01:10:57,541
and they felt
662
01:10:57,541 --> 01:10:58,458
very alone for many years.
663
01:10:58,500 --> 01:11:01,166
It is
664
01:11:01,166 --> 01:11:03,291
environmental, I
665
01:11:03,291 --> 01:11:03,666
would say
666
01:11:03,666 --> 01:11:05,500
subjects in
667
01:11:05,500 --> 01:11:06,208
Angola is not
668
01:11:06,208 --> 01:11:07,458
very popular, I
669
01:11:07,458 --> 01:11:08,333
will say. People
670
01:11:08,333 --> 01:11:09,125
don't have like
671
01:11:09,125 --> 01:11:10,500
the interest
672
01:11:10,500 --> 01:11:11,458
doesn't go really
673
01:11:11,458 --> 01:11:14,000
to with to do
674
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:14,500
with the sea
675
01:11:14,500 --> 01:11:15,875
besides
676
01:11:15,875 --> 01:11:16,458
going on a boat.
677
01:11:16,500 --> 01:11:19,625
So diving or even
678
01:11:19,625 --> 01:11:20,791
swimming or
679
01:11:20,791 --> 01:11:21,833
taking care of
680
01:11:21,833 --> 01:11:23,083
our beaches.
681
01:11:23,625 --> 01:11:25,083
That's not a
682
01:11:25,083 --> 01:11:25,666
thing there. And
683
01:11:25,666 --> 01:11:26,166
they were really
684
01:11:26,166 --> 01:11:26,833
fighting from the
685
01:11:26,833 --> 01:11:27,291
beginning. This
686
01:11:27,291 --> 01:11:30,250
is how I got to
687
01:11:30,250 --> 01:11:31,583
know them. And we
688
01:11:31,583 --> 01:11:32,291
are trying to do
689
01:11:32,291 --> 01:11:33,041
a partnership in
690
01:11:33,041 --> 01:11:34,416
the future and
691
01:11:34,416 --> 01:11:35,250
hopefully bring
692
01:11:35,250 --> 01:11:37,083
also diving to
693
01:11:37,083 --> 01:11:37,583
the meat, which
694
01:11:37,583 --> 01:11:38,041
will be very
695
01:11:38,041 --> 01:11:38,750
important to see
696
01:11:38,750 --> 01:11:39,000
what is
697
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:39,458
underwater.
698
01:11:39,500 --> 01:11:40,833
Not only what
699
01:11:40,833 --> 01:11:41,750
I've been doing
700
01:11:41,750 --> 01:11:43,750
in the service in
701
01:11:43,750 --> 01:11:44,000
the landing
702
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:44,833
service with a
703
01:11:44,833 --> 01:11:46,125
fisherman with a
704
01:11:46,125 --> 01:11:46,708
fisherman. Sorry.
705
01:11:47,291 --> 01:11:48,750
I want to remind
706
01:11:48,750 --> 01:11:49,375
people to like
707
01:11:49,375 --> 01:11:49,875
because you have
708
01:11:49,875 --> 01:11:51,250
a very per Angola
709
01:11:51,250 --> 01:11:52,000
is very personal
710
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:52,375
to you because
711
01:11:52,375 --> 01:11:52,750
you have your
712
01:11:52,750 --> 01:11:53,083
family
713
01:11:53,083 --> 01:11:54,000
connections from
714
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:54,541
there from your
715
01:11:54,541 --> 01:11:55,000
parents.
716
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:55,833
Your or your
717
01:11:55,833 --> 01:11:56,541
parents fled
718
01:11:56,541 --> 01:11:57,333
during the Civil
719
01:11:57,333 --> 01:11:58,625
War there back in
720
01:11:58,625 --> 01:11:59,125
the in the
721
01:11:59,125 --> 01:11:59,708
eighties. But
722
01:11:59,708 --> 01:12:00,750
just so people
723
01:12:00,750 --> 01:12:01,708
know it's a very
724
01:12:01,708 --> 01:12:02,208
it's very
725
01:12:02,208 --> 01:12:02,458
personal to you.
726
01:12:02,500 --> 01:12:03,916
The work you're
727
01:12:03,916 --> 01:12:04,541
doing in Angola
728
01:12:04,541 --> 01:12:05,166
because of your
729
01:12:05,166 --> 01:12:05,708
family
730
01:12:05,708 --> 01:12:06,708
connections and
731
01:12:06,708 --> 01:12:07,166
stuff. And do you
732
01:12:07,166 --> 01:12:07,875
feel a sense of
733
01:12:07,875 --> 01:12:08,416
that when you go
734
01:12:08,416 --> 01:12:09,958
back now kind of
735
01:12:09,958 --> 01:12:10,500
a bit of a
736
01:12:10,500 --> 01:12:10,958
connection?
737
01:12:12,083 --> 01:12:14,875
I feel home now.
738
01:12:14,875 --> 01:12:15,666
I got an
739
01:12:15,666 --> 01:12:16,166
interesting
740
01:12:16,166 --> 01:12:17,958
encounter. So to
741
01:12:17,958 --> 01:12:19,750
do to do service
742
01:12:19,750 --> 01:12:20,541
there, you need
743
01:12:20,541 --> 01:12:21,333
to always ask the
744
01:12:21,333 --> 01:12:22,791
permission of the
745
01:12:22,791 --> 01:12:24,375
chief of the
746
01:12:24,375 --> 01:12:25,916
fishers, which is
747
01:12:25,916 --> 01:12:26,458
called the Soba.
748
01:12:26,500 --> 01:12:27,791
So every
749
01:12:27,791 --> 01:12:30,500
community will
750
01:12:30,500 --> 01:12:31,333
have a Soba. You
751
01:12:31,333 --> 01:12:31,875
need to find
752
01:12:31,875 --> 01:12:33,000
them. And I
753
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:35,416
somehow this is a
754
01:12:35,416 --> 01:12:35,916
very interesting
755
01:12:35,916 --> 01:12:36,833
story because I
756
01:12:36,833 --> 01:12:37,291
was with the
757
01:12:37,291 --> 01:12:37,833
storytelling
758
01:12:37,833 --> 01:12:40,750
grantees. So we
759
01:12:40,750 --> 01:12:41,833
were in a beach
760
01:12:41,833 --> 01:12:42,875
and we were
761
01:12:42,875 --> 01:12:44,541
trying to see if
762
01:12:44,541 --> 01:12:45,041
they could
763
01:12:45,041 --> 01:12:45,833
find some.
764
01:12:47,875 --> 01:12:49,041
It was see they
765
01:12:49,041 --> 01:12:49,625
were doing some
766
01:12:49,625 --> 01:12:51,083
purses with seals
767
01:12:51,083 --> 01:12:52,708
scheme. And I saw
768
01:12:52,708 --> 01:12:53,375
this like many
769
01:12:53,375 --> 01:12:54,041
years ago when
770
01:12:54,041 --> 01:12:54,541
they wanted to
771
01:12:54,541 --> 01:12:55,416
photograph. So we
772
01:12:55,416 --> 01:12:56,333
went to talk with
773
01:12:56,333 --> 01:12:57,375
the fishers and
774
01:12:57,375 --> 01:12:58,208
somehow one of
775
01:12:58,208 --> 01:12:59,333
them said, do you
776
01:12:59,333 --> 01:12:59,666
want to
777
01:12:59,666 --> 01:13:00,333
know the Soba?
778
01:13:00,541 --> 01:13:01,208
And we were like,
779
01:13:01,208 --> 01:13:02,125
oh, yeah, let's
780
01:13:02,125 --> 01:13:04,250
go. And while the
781
01:13:04,250 --> 01:13:04,958
photos that they
782
01:13:04,958 --> 01:13:06,708
have, I'm dying
783
01:13:06,708 --> 01:13:07,375
to see this
784
01:13:07,375 --> 01:13:08,208
published. It's
785
01:13:08,208 --> 01:13:09,041
insane. It's
786
01:13:09,041 --> 01:13:09,708
amazing. It's
787
01:13:09,708 --> 01:13:11,291
like like a photo
788
01:13:11,291 --> 01:13:11,875
of a lifetime.
789
01:13:12,500 --> 01:13:13,833
The Soba comes
790
01:13:13,833 --> 01:13:14,208
and he was
791
01:13:14,208 --> 01:13:15,458
dressed like a as
792
01:13:15,458 --> 01:13:16,625
a civil, like not
793
01:13:16,625 --> 01:13:17,666
nicely. And then
794
01:13:17,666 --> 01:13:18,250
he said, oh, is
795
01:13:18,250 --> 01:13:18,750
the photograph
796
01:13:18,750 --> 01:13:19,541
OK, wait a
797
01:13:19,541 --> 01:13:20,041
minute. And he
798
01:13:20,041 --> 01:13:21,166
was like in a
799
01:13:21,166 --> 01:13:21,916
military suit,
800
01:13:22,208 --> 01:13:23,291
like with the hat
801
01:13:23,291 --> 01:13:24,000
and everything.
802
01:13:24,250 --> 01:13:25,416
And I don't know
803
01:13:25,416 --> 01:13:26,041
the name, the
804
01:13:26,041 --> 01:13:26,958
stick with like
805
01:13:26,958 --> 01:13:28,625
animal fire and
806
01:13:28,625 --> 01:13:29,333
everything, like
807
01:13:29,333 --> 01:13:30,166
kind of a wizard
808
01:13:30,166 --> 01:13:31,541
thing. We were
809
01:13:31,541 --> 01:13:32,458
like, OK, we
810
01:13:32,458 --> 01:13:33,375
cried. It was
811
01:13:33,375 --> 01:13:33,708
something
812
01:13:33,708 --> 01:13:34,666
intense. And he
813
01:13:34,666 --> 01:13:35,833
said, you said,
814
01:13:36,166 --> 01:13:37,541
you welcome to
815
01:13:37,541 --> 01:13:39,458
your home land.
816
01:13:39,500 --> 01:13:40,583
You're welcome
817
01:13:40,583 --> 01:13:41,916
here. And your
818
01:13:41,916 --> 01:13:42,958
work is what
819
01:13:42,958 --> 01:13:43,583
you're doing is
820
01:13:43,583 --> 01:13:44,958
good for us. And
821
01:13:44,958 --> 01:13:45,875
we respect you
822
01:13:45,875 --> 01:13:46,500
and you're always
823
01:13:46,500 --> 01:13:47,416
welcome here. I
824
01:13:47,416 --> 01:13:48,791
cried. So this
825
01:13:48,791 --> 01:13:50,291
was really being
826
01:13:50,291 --> 01:13:51,833
acknowledged by
827
01:13:51,833 --> 01:13:53,625
the king, I will
828
01:13:53,625 --> 01:13:54,500
say, on the
829
01:13:54,500 --> 01:13:55,541
fishers.
830
01:13:55,541 --> 01:13:56,208
So this is
831
01:13:56,208 --> 01:13:57,041
something that
832
01:13:57,041 --> 01:13:58,000
now I can walk
833
01:13:58,000 --> 01:13:59,458
and do my work
834
01:13:59,458 --> 01:14:01,291
really freely.
835
01:14:01,875 --> 01:14:02,625
Right. Because
836
01:14:02,625 --> 01:14:03,000
you have the
837
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:04,500
ball. Yeah. The
838
01:14:04,500 --> 01:14:05,333
blessing of them.
839
01:14:05,333 --> 01:14:05,916
And he blessed
840
01:14:05,916 --> 01:14:06,416
also the
841
01:14:06,416 --> 01:14:07,083
storyteller
842
01:14:07,083 --> 01:14:07,791
saying that their
843
01:14:07,791 --> 01:14:08,166
work was
844
01:14:08,166 --> 01:14:08,458
important and to share with you.
845
01:14:08,500 --> 01:14:10,791
Yeah. It was
846
01:14:10,791 --> 01:14:12,041
amazing. For
847
01:14:12,041 --> 01:14:12,958
sure. Soon you
848
01:14:12,958 --> 01:14:14,000
will get to see
849
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:15,166
this through
850
01:14:15,166 --> 01:14:16,541
Saver Seas. Yeah.
851
01:14:16,541 --> 01:14:18,041
It hasn't come
852
01:14:18,041 --> 01:14:19,000
out yet. Right.
853
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:19,541
The Saver Seas.
854
01:14:19,750 --> 01:14:20,958
No, no, no.
855
01:14:21,291 --> 01:14:22,375
Should be soon.
856
01:14:22,791 --> 01:14:23,958
Who's a
857
01:14:23,958 --> 01:14:24,750
storyteller that
858
01:14:24,750 --> 01:14:26,291
that was went out
859
01:14:26,291 --> 01:14:26,833

860
01:14:26,833 --> 01:14:28,250
Who is so is
861
01:14:28,250 --> 01:14:29,208
Argentinian and
862
01:14:29,208 --> 01:14:29,750
his name is
863
01:14:29,750 --> 01:14:30,875
Nicholas Han and
864
01:14:30,875 --> 01:14:31,958
his assistant was
865
01:14:31,958 --> 01:14:32,458
name is Miguel.
866
01:14:32,500 --> 01:14:34,000
I don't I'm
867
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:34,750
sorry. I do not
868
01:14:34,750 --> 01:14:35,833
remember the
869
01:14:35,833 --> 01:14:36,458
surname if you
870
01:14:36,458 --> 01:14:37,333
listen into this.
871
01:14:37,333 --> 01:14:38,458
And it's from
872
01:14:38,458 --> 01:14:39,666
Mexico and they
873
01:14:39,666 --> 01:14:40,500
were like they
874
01:14:40,500 --> 01:14:41,166
want to come back
875
01:14:41,166 --> 01:14:41,833
as well. They had
876
01:14:41,833 --> 01:14:42,416
an amazing
877
01:14:42,416 --> 01:14:43,291
experience. They
878
01:14:43,291 --> 01:14:43,625
were not
879
01:14:43,625 --> 01:14:45,000
expecting Angola
880
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:46,000
to be like that.
881
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:46,750
People to be like
882
01:14:46,750 --> 01:14:48,666
that. So open and
883
01:14:48,666 --> 01:14:50,000
so willing to
884
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:51,583
share their
885
01:14:51,583 --> 01:14:52,375
knowledge and
886
01:14:52,375 --> 01:14:53,333
their lives and
887
01:14:53,333 --> 01:14:53,458
experiences.
888
01:14:53,500 --> 01:14:54,833
They went
889
01:14:54,833 --> 01:14:55,458
everywhere. They
890
01:14:55,458 --> 01:14:57,208
were really
891
01:14:57,208 --> 01:14:59,416
shocked that we
892
01:14:59,416 --> 01:15:00,125
were getting into
893
01:15:00,125 --> 01:15:00,958
people's houses
894
01:15:00,958 --> 01:15:02,291
where they were
895
01:15:02,291 --> 01:15:03,708
drying sharks and
896
01:15:03,708 --> 01:15:04,916
rays and
897
01:15:04,916 --> 01:15:06,000
processing etc.
898
01:15:06,250 --> 01:15:06,500
And they were
899
01:15:06,500 --> 01:15:07,458
letting them in
900
01:15:07,458 --> 01:15:08,583
photograph film
901
01:15:08,583 --> 01:15:10,083
etc. You need to
902
01:15:10,083 --> 01:15:10,583
do it again. Do
903
01:15:10,583 --> 01:15:12,000
it again. And so
904
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:12,708
it was about take
905
01:15:12,708 --> 01:15:13,583
another take. It
906
01:15:13,583 --> 01:15:14,916
was really really
907
01:15:14,916 --> 01:15:15,833
really good. And
908
01:15:15,833 --> 01:15:16,500
they said they
909
01:15:16,500 --> 01:15:17,083
would like to
910
01:15:17,083 --> 01:15:18,583
return and to
911
01:15:18,583 --> 01:15:19,208
explore a little
912
01:15:19,208 --> 01:15:20,458
bit more. Yeah.
913
01:15:20,500 --> 01:15:22,541
Wow. That sounds
914
01:15:22,541 --> 01:15:23,125
like an amazing
915
01:15:23,125 --> 01:15:24,000
experience. They
916
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:24,791
were with the
917
01:15:24,791 --> 01:15:25,583
storyteller
918
01:15:25,583 --> 01:15:26,416
storyteller
919
01:15:26,416 --> 01:15:27,541
grants. So that
920
01:15:27,541 --> 01:15:28,333
was a lot. Sound
921
01:15:28,333 --> 01:15:28,833
like a full
922
01:15:28,833 --> 01:15:29,458
schedule right
923
01:15:29,458 --> 01:15:30,583
there. That's
924
01:15:30,583 --> 01:15:31,500
that. But that's
925
01:15:31,500 --> 01:15:32,000
not all you've
926
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:32,291
been doing.
927
01:15:32,291 --> 01:15:34,291
Right. Not at
928
01:15:34,291 --> 01:15:35,500
all. Not at all.
929
01:15:35,500 --> 01:15:36,375
Well, besides
930
01:15:36,375 --> 01:15:37,666
being fit and
931
01:15:37,666 --> 01:15:39,041
trying to finish
932
01:15:39,041 --> 01:15:41,875
my PhD. So it's
933
01:15:41,875 --> 01:15:43,083
for at least for
934
01:15:43,083 --> 01:15:44,166
the PhD. I close
935
01:15:44,166 --> 01:15:44,583
my data
936
01:15:44,583 --> 01:15:45,625
collection. So
937
01:15:45,625 --> 01:15:46,500
all the service
938
01:15:46,500 --> 01:15:47,541
the landing site
939
01:15:47,541 --> 01:15:48,458
service are finished.
940
01:15:48,500 --> 01:15:50,708
I have my genetic
941
01:15:50,708 --> 01:15:52,208
samples being
942
01:15:52,208 --> 01:15:54,041
analyzed in
943
01:15:54,041 --> 01:15:54,958
partnership with
944
01:15:54,958 --> 01:15:57,000
the sorry. Nova

01:15:57,000 --> 01:15:58,541
Southeastern
946
01:15:58,541 --> 01:15:59,583
University in
947
01:15:59,583 --> 01:16:00,375
Florida. I'm
948
01:16:00,375 --> 01:16:00,916
sorry if I'm
949
01:16:00,916 --> 01:16:01,541
pronouncing this.
950
01:16:01,541 --> 01:16:02,500
Yeah. Incorrect.
951
01:16:02,708 --> 01:16:03,833
That's right.
952
01:16:03,833 --> 01:16:04,083
That's right.
953
01:16:04,083 --> 01:16:04,458
That's right.
954
01:16:05,125 --> 01:16:07,125
With Dr. Mohamad
955
01:16:07,125 --> 01:16:09,708

Yeah. Partering

958
01:16:12,958 --> 01:16:13,166
don't know
959
01:16:13,166 --> 01:16:14,125
exactly when this
960
01:16:14,125 --> 01:16:15,583
will be out. If
961
01:16:15,583 --> 01:16:16,166
this will be a
962
01:16:16,166 --> 01:16:17,458
part of my PhD or not.
963
01:16:17,500 --> 01:16:19,666
Hopefully yes. If
964
01:16:19,666 --> 01:16:21,625
not very soon as
965
01:16:21,625 --> 01:16:22,291
well. We will
966
01:16:22,291 --> 01:16:23,166
publish this
967
01:16:23,166 --> 01:16:23,875
paper which will
968
01:16:23,875 --> 01:16:24,583
be interesting to
969
01:16:24,583 --> 01:16:25,958
see also in terms
970
01:16:25,958 --> 01:16:26,916
of genetics what
971
01:16:26,916 --> 01:16:27,666
is going on
972
01:16:27,666 --> 01:16:29,250
there. But soon
973
01:16:29,250 --> 01:16:29,791
you will have.
974
01:16:29,791 --> 01:16:30,583
Can you give us a
975
01:16:30,583 --> 01:16:31,500
bit of a can you
976
01:16:31,500 --> 01:16:32,000
just give us a
977
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:32,500
bit of a
978
01:16:32,500 --> 01:16:33,708
description on
979
01:16:33,708 --> 01:16:34,625
your on your
980
01:16:34,625 --> 01:16:35,291
thesis on your
981
01:16:35,291 --> 01:16:36,250
PhD thesis just
982
01:16:36,250 --> 01:16:37,166
to give the
983
01:16:37,166 --> 01:16:37,791
audience a little
984
01:16:37,791 --> 01:16:38,333
bit of a reminder
985
01:16:38,333 --> 01:16:38,458
if they don't remember.
986
01:16:39,500 --> 01:16:41,000
So what I'm
987
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:42,166
trying to do here
988
01:16:42,166 --> 01:16:43,708
is to to to see
989
01:16:43,708 --> 01:16:45,166
the impact of
990
01:16:45,166 --> 01:16:47,375
fisheries small
991
01:16:47,375 --> 01:16:48,041
scale fisheries
992
01:16:48,041 --> 01:16:50,000
on a large marine
993
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:51,000
sharks in race.
994
01:16:51,833 --> 01:16:52,500
Why did I chose
995
01:16:52,500 --> 01:16:53,083
small scale
996
01:16:53,083 --> 01:16:53,875
fisheries because
997
01:16:53,875 --> 01:16:55,041
it was the only
998
01:16:55,041 --> 01:16:55,708
fisheries that I
999
01:16:55,708 --> 01:16:56,541
had access to.
1000
01:16:56,791 --> 01:16:57,333
Doesn't mean that
1001
01:16:57,333 --> 01:16:58,958
they are the most
1002
01:16:58,958 --> 01:17:00,875
impactful
1003
01:17:00,875 --> 01:17:01,458
impactful.
1004
01:17:01,500 --> 01:17:04,416
So this is where
1005
01:17:04,416 --> 01:17:06,125
I started. I did
1006
01:17:06,125 --> 01:17:07,583
from local
1007
01:17:07,583 --> 01:17:08,083
ecological
1008
01:17:08,083 --> 01:17:08,833
ecological
1009
01:17:08,833 --> 01:17:09,500
knowledge because
1010
01:17:09,500 --> 01:17:09,958
there was no
1011
01:17:09,958 --> 01:17:10,875
baseline in terms
1012
01:17:10,875 --> 01:17:11,958
of so I'm not
1013
01:17:11,958 --> 01:17:12,666
seeing a lot of
1014
01:17:12,666 --> 01:17:13,166
sharks and rays
1015
01:17:13,166 --> 01:17:14,000
but was it there
1016
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:15,083
actually
1017
01:17:15,083 --> 01:17:16,041
something there.
1018
01:17:16,250 --> 01:17:16,958
So how do we do
1019
01:17:16,958 --> 01:17:17,458
we go interview fishers.
1020
01:17:17,500 --> 01:17:19,208
We talked to them
1021
01:17:19,208 --> 01:17:20,041
with right to do
1022
01:17:20,041 --> 01:17:21,125
create a timeline
1023
01:17:21,125 --> 01:17:22,333
and this was
1024
01:17:22,333 --> 01:17:24,000
already done. And
1025
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:25,291
now what I'm
1026
01:17:25,291 --> 01:17:26,750
doing is for me
1027
01:17:26,750 --> 01:17:27,750
it's I didn't add
1028
01:17:27,750 --> 01:17:29,166
a lot of funds to
1029
01:17:29,166 --> 01:17:29,791
do it. So
1030
01:17:29,791 --> 01:17:31,166
basically we go
1031
01:17:31,166 --> 01:17:31,625
to a landing
1032
01:17:31,625 --> 01:17:32,500
site. We have to
1033
01:17:32,500 --> 01:17:34,666
first do a triage
1034
01:17:34,666 --> 01:17:35,958
and see which one
1035
01:17:35,958 --> 01:17:37,750
we're gonna which
1036
01:17:37,750 --> 01:17:38,708
one is worth it
1037
01:17:38,708 --> 01:17:39,208
because they're
1038
01:17:39,208 --> 01:17:39,458
long distances.
1039
01:17:39,500 --> 01:17:40,958
So I'm not gonna
1040
01:17:40,958 --> 01:17:42,875
drive a long way
1041
01:17:42,875 --> 01:17:43,750
to go to a place
1042
01:17:43,750 --> 01:17:44,333
that there's not
1043
01:17:44,333 --> 01:17:44,958
a lot of sharks
1044
01:17:44,958 --> 01:17:45,916
and rays being
1045
01:17:45,916 --> 01:17:46,541
fish. Although
1046
01:17:46,541 --> 01:17:47,666
there is it's
1047
01:17:47,666 --> 01:17:48,833
it's also a point
1048
01:17:48,833 --> 01:17:49,625
to be written in
1049
01:17:49,625 --> 01:17:50,916
the PhD. But what
1050
01:17:50,916 --> 01:17:51,375
I'm doing the
1051
01:17:51,375 --> 01:17:51,875
sampling is
1052
01:17:51,875 --> 01:17:52,291
really where
1053
01:17:52,291 --> 01:17:52,458
there's massive.
1054
01:17:52,500 --> 01:17:54,500
There's really a
1055
01:17:54,500 --> 01:17:55,458
huge amount of
1056
01:17:55,458 --> 01:17:55,958
sharks and rays
1057
01:17:55,958 --> 01:17:57,208
being fish and
1058
01:17:57,208 --> 01:17:58,416
I'm collecting
1059
01:17:58,416 --> 01:17:59,541
biological data.
1060
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:00,583
So collecting
1061
01:18:00,583 --> 01:18:02,041
doing taxonomy
1062
01:18:02,041 --> 01:18:03,291
cutting a little
1063
01:18:03,291 --> 01:18:04,291
bit of a tissue
1064
01:18:04,291 --> 01:18:05,375
sample to do the
1065
01:18:05,375 --> 01:18:06,000
genetics and
1066
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:07,125
genetics analysis
1067
01:18:07,125 --> 01:18:09,708
identifying the
1068
01:18:09,708 --> 01:18:12,083
sex and if it's a
1069
01:18:12,083 --> 01:18:13,750
male tried to see
1070
01:18:13,750 --> 01:18:14,458
his maturity.
1071
01:18:14,500 --> 01:18:17,125
And now I'm
1072
01:18:17,125 --> 01:18:17,750
playing with my
1073
01:18:17,750 --> 01:18:18,791
data and trying
1074
01:18:18,791 --> 01:18:20,375
to identify which
1075
01:18:20,375 --> 01:18:21,500
are the key
1076
01:18:21,500 --> 01:18:22,291
species there.
1077
01:18:22,666 --> 01:18:23,833
And also I tried
1078
01:18:23,833 --> 01:18:26,916
to always have
1079
01:18:26,916 --> 01:18:28,875
the type of gear
1080
01:18:28,875 --> 01:18:29,666
that this has
1081
01:18:29,666 --> 01:18:30,958
been fished which
1082
01:18:30,958 --> 01:18:31,666
sometimes is
1083
01:18:31,666 --> 01:18:32,458
tricky because
1084
01:18:32,458 --> 01:18:33,416
the boat that
1085
01:18:33,416 --> 01:18:34,500
arrives might not
1086
01:18:34,500 --> 01:18:35,125
be the boat that
1087
01:18:35,125 --> 01:18:36,000
this was actually
1088
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:36,458
fished at.
1089
01:18:36,500 --> 01:18:38,958
And but we can
1090
01:18:38,958 --> 01:18:39,541
see because of
1091
01:18:39,541 --> 01:18:40,458
the species. So
1092
01:18:40,458 --> 01:18:41,208
there's sometimes
1093
01:18:41,208 --> 01:18:42,083
there's a mix of
1094
01:18:42,083 --> 01:18:43,625
pelagic with a
1095
01:18:43,625 --> 01:18:44,291
little bit of the
1096
01:18:44,291 --> 01:18:44,791
muscle that
1097
01:18:44,791 --> 01:18:45,250
doesn't make
1098
01:18:45,250 --> 01:18:46,125
sense. So you
1099
01:18:46,125 --> 01:18:46,500
know that
1100
01:18:46,500 --> 01:18:47,208
probably there
1101
01:18:47,208 --> 01:18:47,875
was a boat that
1102
01:18:47,875 --> 01:18:48,333
dumped this
1103
01:18:48,333 --> 01:18:49,458
there. They sold
1104
01:18:49,458 --> 01:18:50,708
each other. They
1105
01:18:50,708 --> 01:18:51,208
don't care. They
1106
01:18:51,208 --> 01:18:51,708
just say like,
1107
01:18:51,708 --> 01:18:52,708
oh, this was a
1108
01:18:52,708 --> 01:18:53,875
gill net. Well,
1109
01:18:54,333 --> 01:18:55,625
but we I'm trying
1110
01:18:55,625 --> 01:18:56,500
to this is why
1111
01:18:56,500 --> 01:18:57,083
he's taking a
1112
01:18:57,083 --> 01:18:57,500
little bit of
1113
01:18:57,500 --> 01:18:58,416
more time because
1114
01:18:58,416 --> 01:18:59,041
I'm trying to
1115
01:18:59,041 --> 01:19:01,208
analyze this to
1116
01:19:01,208 --> 01:19:02,250
clear my data in
1117
01:19:02,250 --> 01:19:03,541
a way that I'm
1118
01:19:03,541 --> 01:19:04,666
not just taking
1119
01:19:04,666 --> 01:19:05,208
their word
1120
01:19:05,208 --> 01:19:05,458
because they're not just taking their word.
1121
01:19:05,500 --> 01:19:06,541
Because they
1122
01:19:06,541 --> 01:19:07,375
actually don't
1123
01:19:07,375 --> 01:19:08,083
actually know
1124
01:19:08,083 --> 01:19:08,666
where this came
1125
01:19:08,666 --> 01:19:10,791
from. It's very
1126
01:19:10,791 --> 01:19:11,458
complex. Some of
1127
01:19:11,458 --> 01:19:12,250
them has been
1128
01:19:12,250 --> 01:19:12,958
fished also by
1129
01:19:12,958 --> 01:19:13,416
industrial
1130
01:19:13,416 --> 01:19:16,375
vessels. And they
1131
01:19:16,375 --> 01:19:17,500
this is something
1132
01:19:17,500 --> 01:19:18,583
for the future to
1133
01:19:18,583 --> 01:19:19,375
understand which
1134
01:19:19,375 --> 01:19:20,541
ones. So the
1135
01:19:20,541 --> 01:19:21,833
trade route. What
1136
01:19:21,833 --> 01:19:23,083
is the what makes
1137
01:19:23,083 --> 01:19:24,291
them valuable?
1138
01:19:24,958 --> 01:19:26,083
Which is it a
1139
01:19:26,083 --> 01:19:26,916
species? Is the
1140
01:19:26,916 --> 01:19:27,750
sizes of the
1141
01:19:27,750 --> 01:19:28,708
thing? What is
1142
01:19:28,708 --> 01:19:29,583
going on there?
1143
01:19:29,583 --> 01:19:30,000
This is very
1144
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:30,458
important.
1145
01:19:30,500 --> 01:19:31,208
And why are they
1146
01:19:31,208 --> 01:19:32,666
discarding some
1147
01:19:32,666 --> 01:19:33,750
sharks that in
1148
01:19:33,750 --> 01:19:34,833
other places that
1149
01:19:34,833 --> 01:19:35,291
are actually
1150
01:19:35,291 --> 01:19:36,666
valuable? Yeah,
1151
01:19:36,833 --> 01:19:37,333
this is my
1152
01:19:37,333 --> 01:19:38,208
question. Yeah,
1153
01:19:38,208 --> 01:19:39,000
interesting.
1154
01:19:39,500 --> 01:19:40,166
Yeah. And how
1155
01:19:40,166 --> 01:19:41,458
many how many how
1156
01:19:41,458 --> 01:19:42,083
many papers are
1157
01:19:42,083 --> 01:19:42,541
you publishing
1158
01:19:42,541 --> 01:19:42,958
from your
1159
01:19:42,958 --> 01:19:43,791
thesis to?
1160
01:19:44,500 --> 01:19:47,166
So I have all the
1161
01:19:47,166 --> 01:19:50,250
papers that to do
1162
01:19:50,250 --> 01:19:51,041
not with this
1163
01:19:51,041 --> 01:19:52,250
data, but about
1164
01:19:52,250 --> 01:19:53,500
concert. How can
1165
01:19:53,500 --> 01:19:55,750
I say informing
1166
01:19:55,750 --> 01:19:57,583
policy in the
1167
01:19:57,583 --> 01:19:59,333
review of what
1168
01:19:59,333 --> 01:20:00,375
has been done in
1169
01:20:00,375 --> 01:20:00,875
terms of
1170
01:20:00,875 --> 01:20:01,500
legislation.
1171
01:20:02,500 --> 01:20:04,458
So but in
1172
01:20:04,458 --> 01:20:05,416
suggesting what
1173
01:20:05,416 --> 01:20:06,916
we can do in the
1174
01:20:06,916 --> 01:20:08,125
future based on
1175
01:20:08,125 --> 01:20:08,916
the data that I'm
1176
01:20:08,916 --> 01:20:10,208
creating. So in
1177
01:20:10,208 --> 01:20:11,000
total I have
1178
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:13,000
four. Okay. Okay.
1179
01:20:13,708 --> 01:20:14,583
Yeah. Nice. Nice.
1180
01:20:14,708 --> 01:20:15,208
And you're so.
1181
01:20:15,375 --> 01:20:16,333
Thank you.
1182
01:20:16,541 --> 01:20:17,791
And what. And so
1183
01:20:17,791 --> 01:20:18,500
with all this
1184
01:20:18,500 --> 01:20:19,000
work you're doing
1185
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:20,000
now is your your
1186
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:20,916
field party or
1187
01:20:20,916 --> 01:20:21,750
thesis pretty
1188
01:20:21,750 --> 01:20:22,708
much done. You're
1189
01:20:22,708 --> 01:20:23,125
going to continue
1190
01:20:23,125 --> 01:20:23,708
working in the
1191
01:20:23,708 --> 01:20:24,458
field there. But
1192
01:20:24,458 --> 01:20:25,750
is your the data
1193
01:20:25,750 --> 01:20:26,458
for your thesis
1194
01:20:26,458 --> 01:20:26,958
is pretty much
1195
01:20:26,958 --> 01:20:27,583
collected. Now
1196
01:20:27,583 --> 01:20:27,833
it's just
1197
01:20:27,833 --> 01:20:28,583
analyzing and
1198
01:20:28,583 --> 01:20:29,291
writing it up.
1199
01:20:29,833 --> 01:20:30,458
Is that what your
1200
01:20:30,458 --> 01:20:32,708
plans are? Yes.
1201
01:20:33,333 --> 01:20:34,250
And the next step
1202
01:20:34,250 --> 01:20:37,125
will be so it's
1203
01:20:37,125 --> 01:20:38,333
natural that the
1204
01:20:38,333 --> 01:20:39,083
project continues
1205
01:20:39,083 --> 01:20:39,583
because the
1206
01:20:39,583 --> 01:20:40,166
project is not
1207
01:20:40,166 --> 01:20:41,000
only research.
1208
01:20:41,791 --> 01:20:43,416
It's also about
1209
01:20:43,416 --> 01:20:44,791
conservation in
1210
01:20:44,791 --> 01:20:45,958
the sense of a
1211
01:20:45,958 --> 01:20:47,083
true impact in
1212
01:20:47,083 --> 01:20:49,333
the in the in the
1213
01:20:49,333 --> 01:20:50,375
field, which is
1214
01:20:50,375 --> 01:20:52,041
education. So
1215
01:20:52,041 --> 01:20:52,875
education
1216
01:20:52,875 --> 01:20:53,458
awareness
1217
01:20:53,458 --> 01:20:54,500
campaign. So I
1218
01:20:54,500 --> 01:20:55,333
need to be there.
1219
01:20:55,625 --> 01:20:56,666
And this is why
1220
01:20:56,666 --> 01:20:57,583
it was natural
1221
01:20:57,583 --> 01:20:59,750
for me to think
1222
01:20:59,750 --> 01:21:01,500
about moving
1223
01:21:01,500 --> 01:21:02,375
there and
1224
01:21:02,375 --> 01:21:03,333
creating them and
1225
01:21:03,333 --> 01:21:03,750
go the last
1226
01:21:03,750 --> 01:21:04,500
project up.
1227
01:21:05,500 --> 01:21:07,625
Yeah. So we will
1228
01:21:07,625 --> 01:21:08,166
continue to
1229
01:21:08,166 --> 01:21:08,958
collect the data.
1230
01:21:10,208 --> 01:21:11,916
We will continue
1231
01:21:11,916 --> 01:21:12,666
to do everything
1232
01:21:12,666 --> 01:21:13,375
that we are doing
1233
01:21:13,375 --> 01:21:14,250
till now. But it
1234
01:21:14,250 --> 01:21:15,333
will be bigger.
1235
01:21:15,708 --> 01:21:16,375
So we will try to
1236
01:21:16,375 --> 01:21:17,208
get more site
1237
01:21:17,208 --> 01:21:18,166
because we will
1238
01:21:18,166 --> 01:21:19,083
be I will be able
1239
01:21:19,083 --> 01:21:20,416
being there 24
1240
01:21:20,416 --> 01:21:21,291
seven. It's
1241
01:21:21,291 --> 01:21:21,583
really
1242
01:21:21,583 --> 01:21:22,458
changes things.
1243
01:21:22,500 --> 01:21:23,208
We have to see
1244
01:21:23,208 --> 01:21:23,916
that I was there
1245
01:21:23,916 --> 01:21:24,750
a month and a
1246
01:21:24,750 --> 01:21:25,666
half or something
1247
01:21:25,666 --> 01:21:26,208
like that
1248
01:21:26,208 --> 01:21:26,875
sometimes two
1249
01:21:26,875 --> 01:21:27,833
months maximum
1250
01:21:27,833 --> 01:21:30,458
each each time,
1251
01:21:30,625 --> 01:21:31,625
which is when you
1252
01:21:31,625 --> 01:21:32,583
get the momentum
1253
01:21:32,583 --> 01:21:33,125
and then it's
1254
01:21:33,125 --> 01:21:33,625
taken away
1255
01:21:33,625 --> 01:21:34,291
because all the
1256
01:21:34,291 --> 01:21:35,166
contacts all the
1257
01:21:35,166 --> 01:21:36,500
meetings and then
1258
01:21:36,500 --> 01:21:38,583
you go back to
1259
01:21:38,583 --> 01:21:39,625
Portugal or
1260
01:21:39,625 --> 01:21:40,125
elsewhere.
1261
01:21:40,500 --> 01:21:42,041
And then while
1262
01:21:42,041 --> 01:21:42,708
it's not very
1263
01:21:42,708 --> 01:21:43,916
famous for emails
1264
01:21:43,916 --> 01:21:45,166
or zoom calls or
1265
01:21:45,166 --> 01:21:45,958
no, you need to
1266
01:21:45,958 --> 01:21:46,833
be face to face
1267
01:21:46,833 --> 01:21:47,458
to people for
1268
01:21:47,458 --> 01:21:48,083
people for things
1269
01:21:48,083 --> 01:21:48,625
to material
1270
01:21:48,625 --> 01:21:50,291
materialize. And
1271
01:21:50,291 --> 01:21:51,416
this is why it
1272
01:21:51,416 --> 01:21:54,125
was for me a
1273
01:21:54,125 --> 01:21:55,041
natural choice to
1274
01:21:55,041 --> 01:21:56,000
to move there and
1275
01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:56,708
to really push
1276
01:21:56,708 --> 01:21:57,333
for for the
1277
01:21:57,333 --> 01:21:57,916
project to move
1278
01:21:57,916 --> 01:21:58,125
forward.
1279
01:21:58,666 --> 01:22:00,083
Also, because the
1280
01:22:00,083 --> 01:22:00,916
government of
1281
01:22:00,916 --> 01:22:03,500
Angola is in
1282
01:22:03,500 --> 01:22:04,000
conversations
1283
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:06,416
with me with the
1284
01:22:06,416 --> 01:22:08,916
project and is we
1285
01:22:08,916 --> 01:22:09,791
have an openness
1286
01:22:09,791 --> 01:22:11,416
in terms of
1287
01:22:11,416 --> 01:22:12,000
collaboration.
1288
01:22:12,875 --> 01:22:14,083
But again, I need
1289
01:22:14,083 --> 01:22:14,916
to be there. It
1290
01:22:14,916 --> 01:22:15,541
can't be done
1291
01:22:15,541 --> 01:22:16,416
from far away.
1292
01:22:17,958 --> 01:22:18,791
And yeah, so
1293
01:22:18,791 --> 01:22:20,291
right now, it's
1294
01:22:20,291 --> 01:22:21,083
just really
1295
01:22:21,083 --> 01:22:22,833
figuring out how
1296
01:22:22,833 --> 01:22:23,791
to do things
1297
01:22:23,791 --> 01:22:24,583
there are to
1298
01:22:24,583 --> 01:22:25,416
build it for
1299
01:22:25,416 --> 01:22:26,458
funding as well.
1300
01:22:26,500 --> 01:22:27,333
I'm fighting for
1301
01:22:27,333 --> 01:22:29,125
funding. Yeah,
1302
01:22:29,208 --> 01:22:30,375
yeah. I apply for
1303
01:22:30,375 --> 01:22:30,666
a lot of
1304
01:22:30,666 --> 01:22:31,833
stuff now.
1305
01:22:32,041 --> 01:22:33,416
Well, with all of
1306
01:22:33,416 --> 01:22:34,333
that, how hard is
1307
01:22:34,333 --> 01:22:37,083
it to juggle the
1308
01:22:37,083 --> 01:22:39,375
PhD and and the
1309
01:22:39,375 --> 01:22:40,166
handcoat like the
1310
01:22:40,166 --> 01:22:40,875
shark project
1311
01:22:40,875 --> 01:22:41,333
that ain't go
1312
01:22:41,333 --> 01:22:42,666
like how how
1313
01:22:42,666 --> 01:22:43,166
different like
1314
01:22:43,166 --> 01:22:43,708
how much of a
1315
01:22:43,708 --> 01:22:44,541
challenge is that
1316
01:22:44,541 --> 01:22:45,250
because like I
1317
01:22:45,250 --> 01:22:46,083
feel like both of
1318
01:22:46,083 --> 01:22:47,791
those are full
1319
01:22:47,791 --> 01:22:48,916
time jobs plus a
1320
01:22:48,916 --> 01:22:50,208
half in it in and
1321
01:22:50,208 --> 01:22:50,458
of itself.
1322
01:22:50,500 --> 01:22:52,333
How do you how do
1323
01:22:52,333 --> 01:22:52,708
you juggle
1324
01:22:52,708 --> 01:22:53,375
between the two?
1325
01:22:53,375 --> 01:22:53,750
I know there's
1326
01:22:53,750 --> 01:22:54,333
some overlap,
1327
01:22:54,333 --> 01:22:55,000
obviously, but
1328
01:22:55,000 --> 01:22:55,583
how do you juggle
1329
01:22:55,583 --> 01:22:56,958
between the two?
1330
01:22:57,416 --> 01:22:58,958
Um, I have to
1331
01:22:58,958 --> 01:22:59,708
this was my
1332
01:22:59,708 --> 01:23:01,166
dream. Right?
1333
01:23:01,666 --> 01:23:03,583
Well, I have to I
1334
01:23:03,583 --> 01:23:05,541
enjoy doing it.
1335
01:23:05,541 --> 01:23:06,041
You know, if I
1336
01:23:06,041 --> 01:23:07,250
didn't if I was
1337
01:23:07,250 --> 01:23:08,250
forced to I
1338
01:23:08,250 --> 01:23:09,375
probably will not
1339
01:23:09,375 --> 01:23:10,000
be doing it
1340
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:10,625
because it really
1341
01:23:10,625 --> 01:23:11,375
takes a lot of my
1342
01:23:11,375 --> 01:23:12,458
time, my energy.
1343
01:23:12,500 --> 01:23:15,000
Right. From, you
1344
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:15,333
know, from
1345
01:23:15,333 --> 01:23:16,083
applying for
1346
01:23:16,083 --> 01:23:18,083
funding to having
1347
01:23:18,083 --> 01:23:19,458
to bombard people
1348
01:23:19,458 --> 01:23:20,333
from the
1349
01:23:20,333 --> 01:23:21,291
government from
1350
01:23:21,291 --> 01:23:22,208
universities,
1351
01:23:22,208 --> 01:23:23,375
from schools and
1352
01:23:23,375 --> 01:23:24,000
try to make
1353
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:24,958
things happen and
1354
01:23:24,958 --> 01:23:25,875
going after
1355
01:23:25,875 --> 01:23:27,166
people. It's just
1356
01:23:27,166 --> 01:23:28,166
insane and plan
1357
01:23:28,166 --> 01:23:29,458
and doing budgets
1358
01:23:29,458 --> 01:23:30,333
and planning
1359
01:23:30,333 --> 01:23:32,000
schedules and and
1360
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:32,458
talking with the volunteers, right?
1361
01:23:32,500 --> 01:23:35,250
Because I'm from
1362
01:23:35,250 --> 01:23:36,500
far away, I try
1363
01:23:36,500 --> 01:23:38,791
to make the our
1364
01:23:38,791 --> 01:23:41,000
schedule work. So
1365
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:41,916
in terms of we
1366
01:23:41,916 --> 01:23:43,041
have X
1367
01:23:43,041 --> 01:23:44,083
presentations per
1368
01:23:44,083 --> 01:23:44,958
month, we try to
1369
01:23:44,958 --> 01:23:45,791
do as much as we
1370
01:23:45,791 --> 01:23:46,500
can. But I also
1371
01:23:46,500 --> 01:23:47,083
understand that
1372
01:23:47,083 --> 01:23:48,083
they also are
1373
01:23:48,083 --> 01:23:48,833
volunteering. So
1374
01:23:48,833 --> 01:23:50,291
I can't ask much
1375
01:23:50,291 --> 01:23:51,333
there because
1376
01:23:51,333 --> 01:23:52,583
it's I would say
1377
01:23:52,583 --> 01:23:53,041
that doing
1378
01:23:53,041 --> 01:23:53,708
volunteering in
1379
01:23:53,708 --> 01:23:54,375
Angola is not the
1380
01:23:54,375 --> 01:23:54,708
same as we
1381
01:23:54,708 --> 01:23:55,208
volunteer, for
1382
01:23:55,208 --> 01:23:55,458
example, in Europe.
1383
01:23:55,500 --> 01:23:58,250
These these
1384
01:23:58,250 --> 01:23:59,125
people have not
1385
01:23:59,125 --> 01:24:00,875
always easy
1386
01:24:00,875 --> 01:24:02,333
lives. And this
1387
01:24:02,333 --> 01:24:02,708
means that
1388
01:24:02,708 --> 01:24:03,166
they're really,
1389
01:24:03,166 --> 01:24:04,458
really are
1390
01:24:04,458 --> 01:24:05,125
putting their
1391
01:24:05,125 --> 01:24:06,166
efforts in the in
1392
01:24:06,166 --> 01:24:07,458
the in the
1393
01:24:07,458 --> 01:24:09,541
project. And we
1394
01:24:09,541 --> 01:24:11,541
do as as much as
1395
01:24:11,541 --> 01:24:12,833
we can, which is
1396
01:24:12,833 --> 01:24:14,208
a lot till now.
1397
01:24:14,833 --> 01:24:15,583
We do schools
1398
01:24:15,583 --> 01:24:16,250
presentations,
1399
01:24:16,958 --> 01:24:17,500
universities,
1400
01:24:18,250 --> 01:24:18,416
other
1401
01:24:18,416 --> 01:24:19,250
stakeholders, we
1402
01:24:19,250 --> 01:24:20,458
need corporate,
1403
01:24:20,458 --> 01:24:21,833
corporate even.
1404
01:24:22,583 --> 01:24:24,333
And then for me,
1405
01:24:24,541 --> 01:24:25,541
the what
1406
01:24:25,541 --> 01:24:26,833
sometimes can be
1407
01:24:26,833 --> 01:24:27,750
challenging is
1408
01:24:27,750 --> 01:24:30,125
really to do the
1409
01:24:30,125 --> 01:24:31,333
follow up with
1410
01:24:31,333 --> 01:24:32,375
everything and
1411
01:24:32,375 --> 01:24:33,375
everyone because
1412
01:24:33,375 --> 01:24:34,541
I'm only one. And
1413
01:24:34,541 --> 01:24:35,000
we're talking
1414
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:35,541
about, for
1415
01:24:35,541 --> 01:24:36,583
example, we can
1416
01:24:36,583 --> 01:24:37,541
talk after you
1417
01:24:37,541 --> 01:24:38,416
already mentioned
1418
01:24:38,416 --> 01:24:39,125
about the
1419
01:24:39,125 --> 01:24:39,291
website.
1420
01:24:39,500 --> 01:24:40,125
So it's creating
1421
01:24:40,125 --> 01:24:41,416
a website, then I
1422
01:24:41,416 --> 01:24:42,541
don't know, email
1423
01:24:42,541 --> 01:24:43,333
someone from the
1424
01:24:43,333 --> 01:24:44,000
government, then
1425
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:44,791
have to write the
1426
01:24:44,791 --> 01:24:47,041
TZs and it's it's
1427
01:24:47,041 --> 01:24:48,000
it's a lot. It's
1428
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:49,000
a lot. But it's
1429
01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:49,708
really worth it.
1430
01:24:49,958 --> 01:24:50,958
And this was
1431
01:24:50,958 --> 01:24:51,791
exactly what I
1432
01:24:51,791 --> 01:24:53,541
wanted. So for
1433
01:24:53,541 --> 01:24:55,333
me, it's a yeah,
1434
01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:57,333
so I was there.
1435
01:24:57,500 --> 01:24:58,583
Yeah, so the
1436
01:24:58,583 --> 01:24:59,083
website is going
1437
01:24:59,083 --> 01:24:59,791
to basically your
1438
01:24:59,791 --> 01:25:00,375
greeting to the
1439
01:25:00,375 --> 01:25:00,875
world, like
1440
01:25:00,875 --> 01:25:01,666
people go and go
1441
01:25:01,666 --> 01:25:02,250
there and find
1442
01:25:02,250 --> 01:25:02,833
out about your
1443
01:25:02,833 --> 01:25:03,583
projects, they
1444
01:25:03,583 --> 01:25:04,541
can donate to
1445
01:25:04,541 --> 01:25:05,541
you, helping your
1446
01:25:05,541 --> 01:25:06,666
help in your
1447
01:25:06,666 --> 01:25:07,333
program and
1448
01:25:07,333 --> 01:25:09,000
stuff. And how is
1449
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:10,333
did you work? Did
1450
01:25:10,333 --> 01:25:11,000
you design and do
1451
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:11,291
that work
1452
01:25:11,291 --> 01:25:11,875
yourself? Or do
1453
01:25:11,875 --> 01:25:12,416
you have someone
1454
01:25:12,416 --> 01:25:12,875
help you with
1455
01:25:12,875 --> 01:25:13,708
that? Or?
1456
01:25:14,416 --> 01:25:14,958
I had someone
1457
01:25:14,958 --> 01:25:15,500
help me with
1458
01:25:15,500 --> 01:25:16,958
that. That was,
1459
01:25:17,291 --> 01:25:18,125
that was my
1460
01:25:18,125 --> 01:25:18,958
fiance that
1461
01:25:18,958 --> 01:25:19,458
helped me with that, to be fair.
1462
01:25:19,500 --> 01:25:22,000
Oh, yeah. Okay.
1463
01:25:22,291 --> 01:25:22,958
Yeah. So what?
1464
01:25:23,291 --> 01:25:23,916
Yeah, that brings
1465
01:25:23,916 --> 01:25:24,708
up another thing.
1466
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:25,958
Like now, I guess
1467
01:25:25,958 --> 01:25:26,375
we could talk
1468
01:25:26,375 --> 01:25:27,000
about, you know,
1469
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:27,708
you recently got
1470
01:25:27,708 --> 01:25:28,583
engaged.
1471
01:25:29,750 --> 01:25:31,333
Yeah. And so, so
1472
01:25:31,333 --> 01:25:33,083
now this is gonna
1473
01:25:33,083 --> 01:25:33,791
be a whole other
1474
01:25:33,791 --> 01:25:36,208
level of, I don't
1475
01:25:36,208 --> 01:25:36,458
wanna say
1476
01:25:36,458 --> 01:25:37,333
challenges, but
1477
01:25:37,333 --> 01:25:39,500
we'll say, so is
1478
01:25:39,500 --> 01:25:40,375
he gonna, so is
1479
01:25:40,375 --> 01:25:41,083
he prepared to
1480
01:25:41,083 --> 01:25:41,458
move to Angola?
1481
01:25:41,500 --> 01:25:44,416
Yeah, he was
1482
01:25:44,416 --> 01:25:45,041
there the last
1483
01:25:45,041 --> 01:25:46,416
time with me. And
1484
01:25:46,416 --> 01:25:46,666
he was
1485
01:25:46,666 --> 01:25:48,000
photographing and
1486
01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:50,041
helping even with
1487
01:25:50,041 --> 01:25:50,791
the measurements.
1488
01:25:51,166 --> 01:25:51,958
So I teach them
1489
01:25:51,958 --> 01:25:52,750
and he was it was
1490
01:25:52,750 --> 01:25:54,125
fine with it.
1491
01:25:54,666 --> 01:25:55,708
Used to be, it
1492
01:25:55,708 --> 01:25:56,500
wasn't a military
1493
01:25:56,500 --> 01:25:57,416
before. So he
1494
01:25:57,416 --> 01:25:58,458
used to this kind
1495
01:25:58,458 --> 01:25:59,166
of, I would say
1496
01:25:59,166 --> 01:26:01,333
different and
1497
01:26:01,333 --> 01:26:02,166
challenging
1498
01:26:02,166 --> 01:26:03,750
situation. So for
1499
01:26:03,750 --> 01:26:04,625
him is not, he
1500
01:26:04,625 --> 01:26:05,541
likes that. He
1501
01:26:05,541 --> 01:26:06,083
likes to be
1502
01:26:06,083 --> 01:26:07,083
there. And he's
1503
01:26:07,083 --> 01:26:07,875
really excited to
1504
01:26:07,875 --> 01:26:09,125
go there for a
1505
01:26:09,125 --> 01:26:10,541
while. So
1506
01:26:10,541 --> 01:26:11,458
it was, yeah.
1507
01:26:11,500 --> 01:26:12,375
So this is also
1508
01:26:12,375 --> 01:26:13,041
one of the
1509
01:26:13,041 --> 01:26:15,291
reasons that we
1510
01:26:15,291 --> 01:26:16,541
are getting
1511
01:26:16,541 --> 01:26:18,916
married is that
1512
01:26:18,916 --> 01:26:19,583
we are there
1513
01:26:19,583 --> 01:26:20,583
together as well.
1514
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:21,708
And because we
1515
01:26:21,708 --> 01:26:22,791
really, I will
1516
01:26:22,791 --> 01:26:24,375
say that Namib is
1517
01:26:24,375 --> 01:26:25,000
really, really
1518
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:25,833
far from a lot of
1519
01:26:25,833 --> 01:26:26,291
things. We're
1520
01:26:26,291 --> 01:26:27,041
really far away.
1521
01:26:27,500 --> 01:26:27,666
Yeah.
1522
01:26:28,791 --> 01:26:31,500
Oh, does he speak
1523
01:26:31,500 --> 01:26:32,416
Portuguese? Does he speak?
1524
01:26:32,625 --> 01:26:35,666
Yeah, he does. So
1525
01:26:35,666 --> 01:26:37,666
yeah, perfect.
1526
01:26:38,166 --> 01:26:38,666
Yeah, we both
1527
01:26:38,666 --> 01:26:39,375
speak Portuguese
1528
01:26:39,375 --> 01:26:40,041
and they speak
1529
01:26:40,041 --> 01:26:40,750
Portuguese there.
1530
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:41,500
So we will be
1531
01:26:41,500 --> 01:26:42,333
fine. Okay. Yeah,
1532
01:26:42,333 --> 01:26:42,958
is there one
1533
01:26:42,958 --> 01:26:43,916
already searching
1534
01:26:43,916 --> 01:26:44,583
for things for
1535
01:26:44,583 --> 01:26:45,541
the hub helping
1536
01:26:45,541 --> 01:26:46,666
me to see like,
1537
01:26:46,666 --> 01:26:47,500
yeah, rents for
1538
01:26:47,500 --> 01:26:48,666
houses and etc.
1539
01:26:48,666 --> 01:26:49,708
So he's really
1540
01:26:49,708 --> 01:26:50,958
been helping me.
1541
01:26:50,958 --> 01:26:51,958
So this is also
1542
01:26:51,958 --> 01:26:53,125
something that
1543
01:26:53,125 --> 01:26:55,833
has changed a bit
1544
01:26:55,833 --> 01:26:56,791
in the project
1545
01:26:56,791 --> 01:26:57,291
because it's
1546
01:26:57,291 --> 01:26:57,833
someone that is
1547
01:26:57,833 --> 01:26:58,625
really giving a
1548
01:26:58,625 --> 01:26:59,666
lot of this time
1549
01:26:59,666 --> 01:27:00,458
also to help me.
1550
01:27:00,500 --> 01:27:03,625
Help me to put
1551
01:27:03,625 --> 01:27:04,916
the strategy of
1552
01:27:04,916 --> 01:27:06,125
the project, not
1553
01:27:06,125 --> 01:27:06,666
the scientific
1554
01:27:06,666 --> 01:27:07,250
part of
1555
01:27:07,250 --> 01:27:07,750
education, but
1556
01:27:07,750 --> 01:27:08,666
the strategy of
1557
01:27:08,666 --> 01:27:10,416
it or what is the
1558
01:27:10,416 --> 01:27:12,083
priority, what we
1559
01:27:12,083 --> 01:27:12,958
need here to
1560
01:27:12,958 --> 01:27:14,291
build a hub or
1561
01:27:14,291 --> 01:27:15,083
to, you know,
1562
01:27:15,791 --> 01:27:17,583
Yeah, well, I say
1563
01:27:17,583 --> 01:27:18,708
if he's if he's I
1564
01:27:18,708 --> 01:27:19,458
assume he's not
1565
01:27:19,458 --> 01:27:20,583
from Angola or
1566
01:27:20,583 --> 01:27:21,541
he's from Europe
1567
01:27:21,541 --> 01:27:22,583
somewhere. So
1568
01:27:22,583 --> 01:27:23,333
he's Portuguese.
1569
01:27:23,333 --> 01:27:23,791
He's Portuguese.
1570
01:27:24,083 --> 01:27:24,541
Yeah, he's
1571
01:27:24,541 --> 01:27:25,166
Portuguese. Okay.
1572
01:27:25,416 --> 01:27:26,375
So that's good.
1573
01:27:26,666 --> 01:27:27,708
But I mean, even
1574
01:27:27,708 --> 01:27:28,083
even he's
1575
01:27:28,083 --> 01:27:28,583
Portuguese. But
1576
01:27:28,583 --> 01:27:29,458
to move to
1577
01:27:29,458 --> 01:27:30,250
Africa,
1578
01:27:30,250 --> 01:27:30,625
especially
1579
01:27:30,625 --> 01:27:31,333
because I know
1580
01:27:31,333 --> 01:27:32,458
you're not going to be living.
1581
01:27:32,500 --> 01:27:34,000
I know enough
1582
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:35,333
about like some
1583
01:27:35,333 --> 01:27:35,500
of these
1584
01:27:35,500 --> 01:27:36,041
countries, like
1585
01:27:36,041 --> 01:27:36,541
it's not going to
1586
01:27:36,541 --> 01:27:37,250
be like where you
1587
01:27:37,250 --> 01:27:37,791
live in now
1588
01:27:37,791 --> 01:27:38,291
living in
1589
01:27:38,291 --> 01:27:39,541
Portugal now or
1590
01:27:39,541 --> 01:27:40,125
someplace. It'd
1591
01:27:40,125 --> 01:27:40,500
be a little
1592
01:27:40,500 --> 01:27:41,666
challenging
1593
01:27:41,666 --> 01:27:42,250
getting things
1594
01:27:42,250 --> 01:27:42,833
set up and
1595
01:27:42,833 --> 01:27:43,250
especially
1596
01:27:43,250 --> 01:27:43,791
because you're
1597
01:27:43,791 --> 01:27:44,208
starting a whole
1598
01:27:44,208 --> 01:27:45,166
new organization
1599
01:27:45,166 --> 01:27:46,000
really, even
1600
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:46,458
though you've
1601
01:27:46,458 --> 01:27:46,916
kind of been
1602
01:27:46,916 --> 01:27:48,125
doing it.
1603
01:27:48,125 --> 01:27:49,625
That's a lot.
1604
01:27:50,500 --> 01:27:51,791
Yeah. Oh, I know
1605
01:27:51,791 --> 01:27:52,250
what he's doing.
1606
01:27:52,750 --> 01:27:53,666
Well, that yeah,
1607
01:27:54,166 --> 01:27:55,125
he sure loves me.
1608
01:27:56,291 --> 01:27:57,458
I say must must
1609
01:27:57,458 --> 01:27:57,958
be loved.
1610
01:27:59,500 --> 01:28:01,333
I guess so you
1611
01:28:01,333 --> 01:28:01,791
guys getting
1612
01:28:01,791 --> 01:28:02,833
married in in
1613
01:28:02,833 --> 01:28:04,500
Portugal or in in
1614
01:28:04,500 --> 01:28:06,083
Angola? No, no,
1615
01:28:06,083 --> 01:28:06,500
no in Portugal,
1616
01:28:06,500 --> 01:28:07,166
but we don't have
1617
01:28:07,166 --> 01:28:08,708
a well a specific
1618
01:28:08,708 --> 01:28:10,333
date yet. We want
1619
01:28:10,333 --> 01:28:11,041
to I want to
1620
01:28:11,041 --> 01:28:11,750
start my PhD
1621
01:28:11,750 --> 01:28:13,208
everything for
1622
01:28:13,208 --> 01:28:14,750
me. It's just I
1623
01:28:14,750 --> 01:28:16,208
never wanted to
1624
01:28:16,208 --> 01:28:17,041
get married to be
1625
01:28:17,041 --> 01:28:17,875
fair. It was
1626
01:28:17,875 --> 01:28:19,833
never my idea. I
1627
01:28:19,833 --> 01:28:20,625
was always more.
1628
01:28:20,625 --> 01:28:21,458
I don't know.
1629
01:28:21,708 --> 01:28:23,291
Work oriented.
1630
01:28:24,125 --> 01:28:24,916
And when
1631
01:28:24,916 --> 01:28:25,458
something that
1632
01:28:25,458 --> 01:28:26,375
naturally for me,
1633
01:28:26,375 --> 01:28:27,875
it was also not I
1634
01:28:27,875 --> 01:28:28,875
wanted I want now
1635
01:28:28,875 --> 01:28:29,375
but it's not
1636
01:28:29,375 --> 01:28:29,958
about the party
1637
01:28:29,958 --> 01:28:30,416
or anything. I
1638
01:28:30,416 --> 01:28:30,916
just want to be
1639
01:28:30,916 --> 01:28:32,125
with a person. I
1640
01:28:32,125 --> 01:28:32,666
didn't make sense
1641
01:28:32,666 --> 01:28:33,291
to go there with
1642
01:28:33,291 --> 01:28:34,208
him. And I think
1643
01:28:34,208 --> 01:28:35,625
it's it really
1644
01:28:35,625 --> 01:28:36,500
pushed it really
1645
01:28:36,500 --> 01:28:37,750
gives me the
1646
01:28:37,750 --> 01:28:39,208
certainty that
1647
01:28:39,208 --> 01:28:40,458
things will be
1648
01:28:40,458 --> 01:28:42,125
good there. Like
1649
01:28:42,125 --> 01:28:42,791
I'm going to be
1650
01:28:42,791 --> 01:28:43,916
doing something
1651
01:28:43,916 --> 01:28:44,666
that I love
1652
01:28:44,666 --> 01:28:45,541
having someone
1653
01:28:45,541 --> 01:28:46,333
that I that is
1654
01:28:46,333 --> 01:28:47,166
supporting me and
1655
01:28:47,166 --> 01:28:48,500
helping me. And
1656
01:28:48,500 --> 01:28:49,833
while this is if
1657
01:28:49,833 --> 01:28:50,583
you if your mind
1658
01:28:50,583 --> 01:28:51,166
is well,
1659
01:28:51,666 --> 01:28:52,666
you're going to
1660
01:28:52,666 --> 01:28:53,583
have success in
1661
01:28:53,583 --> 01:28:54,125
what you're doing
1662
01:28:54,125 --> 01:28:54,875
in terms of what
1663
01:28:54,875 --> 01:28:56,250
you're feeling
1664
01:28:56,250 --> 01:28:57,333
fine. If you're
1665
01:28:57,333 --> 01:28:58,500
feeling lonely or
1666
01:28:58,500 --> 01:28:58,958
if you're feeling
1667
01:28:58,958 --> 01:28:59,708
not, you know,
1668
01:28:59,708 --> 01:29:00,416
like I could be
1669
01:29:00,416 --> 01:29:01,083
doing the work
1670
01:29:01,083 --> 01:29:01,708
there because but
1671
01:29:01,708 --> 01:29:02,541
moving there is
1672
01:29:02,541 --> 01:29:03,291
we're not talking
1673
01:29:03,291 --> 01:29:03,750
about, for
1674
01:29:03,750 --> 01:29:04,583
example, one day,
1675
01:29:04,583 --> 01:29:05,083
which is a big
1676
01:29:05,083 --> 01:29:05,958
city. There's
1677
01:29:05,958 --> 01:29:06,708
nothing there.
1678
01:29:06,708 --> 01:29:07,333
You know, it's
1679
01:29:07,333 --> 01:29:08,583
the desert and a
1680
01:29:08,583 --> 01:29:10,083
small town few
1681
01:29:10,083 --> 01:29:11,583
people and that's
1682
01:29:11,583 --> 01:29:12,166
it and fisheries.
1683
01:29:12,500 --> 01:29:14,500
And so leaving
1684
01:29:14,500 --> 01:29:15,458
there and doing
1685
01:29:15,458 --> 01:29:16,125
this kind of
1686
01:29:16,125 --> 01:29:18,041
work, it's fun to
1687
01:29:18,041 --> 01:29:19,000
a certain limit.
1688
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:20,250
But because I
1689
01:29:20,250 --> 01:29:21,250
also understand
1690
01:29:21,250 --> 01:29:22,416
that I had my
1691
01:29:22,416 --> 01:29:22,833
whole life, I
1692
01:29:22,833 --> 01:29:23,250
never leave
1693
01:29:23,250 --> 01:29:24,416
there. So of
1694
01:29:24,416 --> 01:29:25,000
course, at some
1695
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:25,833
stage, it will be
1696
01:29:25,833 --> 01:29:26,083
a bit
1697
01:29:26,083 --> 01:29:27,166
challenging. But
1698
01:29:27,166 --> 01:29:28,416
I know that being
1699
01:29:28,416 --> 01:29:29,500
there with him,
1700
01:29:29,500 --> 01:29:30,500
we will manage to
1701
01:29:30,500 --> 01:29:30,958
go to this
1702
01:29:30,958 --> 01:29:31,375
challenge
1703
01:29:31,375 --> 01:29:32,083
together for
1704
01:29:32,083 --> 01:29:32,458
sure. Yeah.
1705
01:29:32,500 --> 01:29:33,916
Yeah. Well, I
1706
01:29:33,916 --> 01:29:34,666
guess it's got to
1707
01:29:34,666 --> 01:29:35,333
be loved for
1708
01:29:35,333 --> 01:29:37,541
that. I mean, you
1709
01:29:37,541 --> 01:29:38,166
know, well, it's
1710
01:29:38,166 --> 01:29:38,666
one thing for you
1711
01:29:38,666 --> 01:29:39,000
because you're
1712
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:39,541
doing that all
1713
01:29:39,541 --> 01:29:40,000
the time. You
1714
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:41,250
find somebody to
1715
01:29:41,250 --> 01:29:41,958
find somebody
1716
01:29:41,958 --> 01:29:42,625
that's willing to
1717
01:29:42,625 --> 01:29:44,041
do that. That's
1718
01:29:44,041 --> 01:29:45,916
that's that's
1719
01:29:45,916 --> 01:29:46,750
what's got to be
1720
01:29:46,750 --> 01:29:48,000
got to be got to
1721
01:29:48,000 --> 01:29:48,291
be loved.
1722
01:29:48,708 --> 01:29:49,333
So you haven't
1723
01:29:49,333 --> 01:29:50,125
set a wedding day
1724
01:29:50,125 --> 01:29:50,875
yet that you've
1725
01:29:50,875 --> 01:29:51,458
got a few things
1726
01:29:51,458 --> 01:29:51,833
you want to
1727
01:29:51,833 --> 01:29:52,916
finish up. Yeah.
1728
01:29:53,416 --> 01:29:54,375
Yeah. OK. And
1729
01:29:54,375 --> 01:29:55,291
well, I have to
1730
01:29:55,291 --> 01:29:56,083
ask you, well,
1731
01:29:56,083 --> 01:29:56,416
Andrew and I
1732
01:29:56,416 --> 01:29:56,833
expect an
1733
01:29:56,833 --> 01:29:58,791
invitation. Well,
1734
01:29:58,791 --> 01:29:59,458
I hope so.
1735
01:29:59,500 --> 01:30:01,208
Well, maybe you
1736
01:30:01,208 --> 01:30:03,333
do a pod a live
1737
01:30:03,333 --> 01:30:04,500
podcast from the
1738
01:30:04,500 --> 01:30:07,958
reception. We can
1739
01:30:07,958 --> 01:30:08,208
have your
1740
01:30:08,208 --> 01:30:09,208
relatives come on
1741
01:30:09,208 --> 01:30:10,291
and tell us about
1742
01:30:10,291 --> 01:30:11,958
your siblings and
1743
01:30:11,958 --> 01:30:12,750
every other your
1744
01:30:12,750 --> 01:30:14,375
mom. How does
1745
01:30:14,375 --> 01:30:15,083
your family feel
1746
01:30:15,083 --> 01:30:15,916
about you all
1747
01:30:15,916 --> 01:30:17,458
moving to Angola?
1748
01:30:17,500 --> 01:30:19,375
My mom is so my
1749
01:30:19,375 --> 01:30:20,416
dad is not alive,
1750
01:30:20,416 --> 01:30:21,375
but my mom says
1751
01:30:21,375 --> 01:30:22,291
she's really the
1752
01:30:22,291 --> 01:30:23,166
involved. And
1753
01:30:23,166 --> 01:30:24,625
she's like, you
1754
01:30:24,625 --> 01:30:25,125
never leave
1755
01:30:25,125 --> 01:30:26,333
there. You know,
1756
01:30:26,333 --> 01:30:27,333
it's not like the
1757
01:30:27,333 --> 01:30:28,291
like when you go
1758
01:30:28,291 --> 01:30:29,166
like doing your
1759
01:30:29,166 --> 01:30:30,041
work or a
1760
01:30:30,041 --> 01:30:31,541
holiday. It's
1761
01:30:31,541 --> 01:30:32,541
real. And I'm
1762
01:30:32,541 --> 01:30:33,166
like, yeah, but I
1763
01:30:33,166 --> 01:30:34,208
know you never
1764
01:30:34,208 --> 01:30:34,916
been to the meet.
1765
01:30:35,208 --> 01:30:35,916
You lived a whole
1766
01:30:35,916 --> 01:30:36,500
life in the one
1767
01:30:36,500 --> 01:30:36,958
that it's
1768
01:30:36,958 --> 01:30:37,458
different. You're
1769
01:30:37,458 --> 01:30:38,250
a city girl there
1770
01:30:38,250 --> 01:30:38,458
in Angola.
1771
01:30:38,500 --> 01:30:40,375
So I know I know
1772
01:30:40,375 --> 01:30:41,708
that it's I'm
1773
01:30:41,708 --> 01:30:42,375
ready for it, but
1774
01:30:42,375 --> 01:30:43,125
they were a bit.
1775
01:30:43,500 --> 01:30:45,208
But once I said
1776
01:30:45,208 --> 01:30:46,000
we were going to
1777
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:47,041
go together, my
1778
01:30:47,041 --> 01:30:47,791
mom was like, OK,
1779
01:30:47,791 --> 01:30:48,500
then you can go.
1780
01:30:48,875 --> 01:30:49,375
Yeah, it's like
1781
01:30:49,375 --> 01:30:49,875
you're going with
1782
01:30:49,875 --> 01:30:50,500
him. Then you
1783
01:30:50,500 --> 01:30:51,666
could go. She's
1784
01:30:51,666 --> 01:30:52,166
scared, of
1785
01:30:52,166 --> 01:30:52,791
course. She's
1786
01:30:52,791 --> 01:30:53,875
scared. Yeah,
1787
01:30:53,958 --> 01:30:55,208
it's normal. But
1788
01:30:55,208 --> 01:30:56,291
I've been there
1789
01:30:56,291 --> 01:30:56,458
so many times.
1790
01:30:56,500 --> 01:30:56,583
I'm not saying to
1791
01:30:56,583 --> 01:30:57,083
go to anywhere to
1792
01:30:57,083 --> 01:30:57,666
go to anywhere
1793
01:30:57,666 --> 01:30:58,458
like to live
1794
01:30:58,458 --> 01:30:59,208
somewhere else.
1795
01:30:59,208 --> 01:30:59,458
You know, you
1796
01:30:59,458 --> 01:31:00,000
want your
1797
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:01,291
daughter to be
1798
01:31:01,291 --> 01:31:02,375
safe. I have two
1799
01:31:02,375 --> 01:31:03,208
young daughters
1800
01:31:03,208 --> 01:31:04,041
or like they're
1801
01:31:04,041 --> 01:31:04,583
older now, I
1802
01:31:04,583 --> 01:31:05,083
guess teenagers.
1803
01:31:05,416 --> 01:31:06,750
But yeah, you
1804
01:31:06,750 --> 01:31:07,250
always want them
1805
01:31:07,250 --> 01:31:07,708
to be safe
1806
01:31:07,708 --> 01:31:08,416
wherever they go.
1807
01:31:08,833 --> 01:31:09,291
Having somebody
1808
01:31:09,291 --> 01:31:09,875
with them,
1809
01:31:09,875 --> 01:31:10,458
whoever that
1810
01:31:10,458 --> 01:31:11,083
might be is
1811
01:31:11,083 --> 01:31:11,958
always is always
1812
01:31:11,958 --> 01:31:12,666
great. It's a
1813
01:31:12,666 --> 01:31:13,375
little bit more
1814
01:31:13,375 --> 01:31:15,041
reassuring to
1815
01:31:15,041 --> 01:31:15,750
make sure in any
1816
01:31:15,750 --> 01:31:16,291
place. Right?
1817
01:31:16,291 --> 01:31:16,791
Because it's new.
1818
01:31:17,083 --> 01:31:17,583
There's a lot
1819
01:31:17,583 --> 01:31:18,250
more challenges
1820
01:31:18,250 --> 01:31:19,083
than just safety
1821
01:31:19,083 --> 01:31:20,375
to go ahead and
1822
01:31:20,375 --> 01:31:20,958
just getting used
1823
01:31:20,958 --> 01:31:22,291
to a new culture,
1824
01:31:22,583 --> 01:31:23,041
a new place.
1825
01:31:23,750 --> 01:31:25,208
Yeah, it's
1826
01:31:25,208 --> 01:31:26,958
definitely it's
1827
01:31:26,958 --> 01:31:27,333
definitely good
1828
01:31:27,333 --> 01:31:28,000
to have a partner
1829
01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:29,375
to go to go with.
1830
01:31:29,375 --> 01:31:29,958
Yeah, that would
1831
01:31:29,958 --> 01:31:31,000
be nice. Yeah,
1832
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:32,958
you still have
1833
01:31:32,958 --> 01:31:33,708
relatives there,
1834
01:31:33,708 --> 01:31:34,333
don't you? So
1835
01:31:34,333 --> 01:31:35,625
family? I do. I
1836
01:31:35,625 --> 01:31:36,958
do. And Wanda. I
1837
01:31:36,958 --> 01:31:37,750
do. I have some
1838
01:31:37,750 --> 01:31:39,000
cousins there and
1839
01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:40,375
one or two
1840
01:31:40,375 --> 01:31:41,500
aunties and
1841
01:31:41,500 --> 01:31:42,458
uncles. Yeah.
1842
01:31:42,500 --> 01:31:44,000
But has your
1843
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:44,666
yeah, has your
1844
01:31:44,666 --> 01:31:45,333
mom been back?
1845
01:31:45,541 --> 01:31:46,083
Has your mom been
1846
01:31:46,083 --> 01:31:48,083
back at all? She
1847
01:31:48,083 --> 01:31:50,083
she did but but
1848
01:31:50,083 --> 01:31:51,500
once since she
1849
01:31:51,500 --> 01:31:52,750
left so for her
1850
01:31:52,750 --> 01:31:53,958
was very, very
1851
01:31:53,958 --> 01:31:54,916
challenging,
1852
01:31:55,541 --> 01:31:57,000
leaving the whole
1853
01:31:57,000 --> 01:31:58,166
life. So she left
1854
01:31:58,166 --> 01:31:59,041
with my two
1855
01:31:59,041 --> 01:32:00,208
sisters and my
1856
01:32:00,208 --> 01:32:01,833
dad and they even
1857
01:32:01,833 --> 01:32:02,541
moved them to
1858
01:32:02,541 --> 01:32:03,791
Brazil. They went
1859
01:32:03,791 --> 01:32:05,125
to the
1860
01:32:05,125 --> 01:32:05,916
Netherlands and
1861
01:32:05,916 --> 01:32:06,791
then everyone was
1862
01:32:06,791 --> 01:32:08,458
sitting here.
1863
01:32:08,500 --> 01:32:09,541
So I'm in
1864
01:32:09,541 --> 01:32:10,083
Portugal right
1865
01:32:10,083 --> 01:32:10,833
now. So they were
1866
01:32:10,833 --> 01:32:11,208
coming to
1867
01:32:11,208 --> 01:32:11,833
Portugal. So they
1868
01:32:11,833 --> 01:32:12,375
decide because
1869
01:32:12,375 --> 01:32:13,666
the family was
1870
01:32:13,666 --> 01:32:14,166
leaving Angola
1871
01:32:14,166 --> 01:32:15,583
because of the
1872
01:32:15,583 --> 01:32:16,833
civil war. And
1873
01:32:16,833 --> 01:32:17,291
everyone was
1874
01:32:17,291 --> 01:32:17,916
gathering here.
1875
01:32:18,125 --> 01:32:18,750
So it was natural
1876
01:32:18,750 --> 01:32:19,875
that okay, to
1877
01:32:19,875 --> 01:32:21,291
make our family
1878
01:32:21,291 --> 01:32:22,708
happen here. But
1879
01:32:22,708 --> 01:32:23,250
it was very
1880
01:32:23,250 --> 01:32:24,583
tough. They lost
1881
01:32:24,583 --> 01:32:26,000
everything. She
1882
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:26,750
managed to
1883
01:32:26,750 --> 01:32:27,666
continue to work.
1884
01:32:27,666 --> 01:32:28,416
So she was a
1885
01:32:28,416 --> 01:32:28,958
researcher as
1886
01:32:28,958 --> 01:32:29,833
well. We're in
1887
01:32:29,833 --> 01:32:30,166
the medical
1888
01:32:30,166 --> 01:32:30,458
field. Yeah.
1889
01:32:30,500 --> 01:32:32,833
Yeah, but she
1890
01:32:32,833 --> 01:32:34,166
managed to get
1891
01:32:34,166 --> 01:32:35,625
back in her feet
1892
01:32:35,625 --> 01:32:36,458
and to do her
1893
01:32:36,458 --> 01:32:37,291
work again. She
1894
01:32:37,291 --> 01:32:37,833
was in the
1895
01:32:37,833 --> 01:32:38,875
university doing
1896
01:32:38,875 --> 01:32:40,208
research. But in
1897
01:32:40,208 --> 01:32:40,583
the beginning,
1898
01:32:40,791 --> 01:32:43,625
she was working
1899
01:32:43,625 --> 01:32:46,041
in a book. Yeah,
1900
01:32:46,041 --> 01:32:47,583
yeah. So no
1901
01:32:47,583 --> 01:32:48,458
papers. Nothing
1902
01:32:48,458 --> 01:32:50,000
was crazy. I know
1903
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:51,333
nothing just with
1904
01:32:51,333 --> 01:32:52,916
a suitcase in
1905
01:32:52,916 --> 01:32:53,583
your hand and two
1906
01:32:53,583 --> 01:32:54,583
kids. It was
1907
01:32:54,583 --> 01:32:55,500
insane. But I
1908
01:32:55,500 --> 01:32:56,083
always had this
1909
01:32:56,083 --> 01:32:56,708
thing about
1910
01:32:56,708 --> 01:32:57,708
Angola, all the
1911
01:32:57,708 --> 01:32:58,791
stories and the
1912
01:32:58,791 --> 01:33:00,000
people. And I see
1913
01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:00,166
the
1914
01:33:00,166 --> 01:33:00,458
photos of her.
1915
01:33:00,500 --> 01:33:02,333
So in terms of
1916
01:33:02,333 --> 01:33:03,375
one thing that
1917
01:33:03,375 --> 01:33:04,583
really pushed me
1918
01:33:04,583 --> 01:33:05,250
to do something
1919
01:33:05,250 --> 01:33:06,958
there was the in
1920
01:33:06,958 --> 01:33:07,333
terms of
1921
01:33:07,333 --> 01:33:08,250
biodiversity
1922
01:33:08,250 --> 01:33:09,500
there, even
1923
01:33:09,500 --> 01:33:13,250
talking about in
1924
01:33:13,250 --> 01:33:14,875
the land side of
1925
01:33:14,875 --> 01:33:16,291
you had lions,
1926
01:33:16,291 --> 01:33:16,458
you have
1927
01:33:16,458 --> 01:33:17,208
elephants, you
1928
01:33:17,208 --> 01:33:17,791
had everything
1929
01:33:17,791 --> 01:33:18,916
there. And during
1930
01:33:18,916 --> 01:33:19,500
the civil war,
1931
01:33:19,500 --> 01:33:19,916
there was a lot
1932
01:33:19,916 --> 01:33:20,208
of people
1933
01:33:20,208 --> 01:33:21,875
hunting. And they
1934
01:33:21,875 --> 01:33:22,625
wiped out the
1935
01:33:22,625 --> 01:33:23,500
whole
1936
01:33:23,500 --> 01:33:25,458
ecosystem there.
1937
01:33:25,500 --> 01:33:28,500
Marine one also,
1938
01:33:28,958 --> 01:33:29,375
because we had
1939
01:33:29,375 --> 01:33:30,500
all these like
1940
01:33:30,500 --> 01:33:31,416
foreign vessels
1941
01:33:31,416 --> 01:33:34,625
doing like big
1942
01:33:34,625 --> 01:33:35,500
fishing, like the
1943
01:33:35,500 --> 01:33:36,375
trolling, etc.
1944
01:33:36,625 --> 01:33:37,666
Like not even
1945
01:33:37,666 --> 01:33:38,125
talking only
1946
01:33:38,125 --> 01:33:38,833
about sharks and
1947
01:33:38,833 --> 01:33:39,458
rays, talking
1948
01:33:39,458 --> 01:33:40,208
about everything,
1949
01:33:41,083 --> 01:33:43,500
like doing, like
1950
01:33:43,500 --> 01:33:44,750
even taking away
1951
01:33:44,750 --> 01:33:45,458
like coral and everything.
1952
01:33:45,500 --> 01:33:47,416
One of the my mom
1953
01:33:47,416 --> 01:33:48,750
says one of her
1954
01:33:48,750 --> 01:33:49,750
memories is that
1955
01:33:49,750 --> 01:33:51,625
the beach that
1956
01:33:51,625 --> 01:33:52,583
they used to go,
1957
01:33:52,583 --> 01:33:53,375
she was laying
1958
01:33:53,375 --> 01:33:55,875
down like under
1959
01:33:55,875 --> 01:33:56,750
water, like in
1960
01:33:56,750 --> 01:33:58,416
the sand. And she
1961
01:33:58,416 --> 01:34:00,333
will seek little
1962
01:34:00,333 --> 01:34:01,625
hammerheads. And
1963
01:34:01,625 --> 01:34:02,083
she's like, Oh,
1964
01:34:02,083 --> 01:34:02,625
those ones were
1965
01:34:02,625 --> 01:34:03,166
fine. They will
1966
01:34:03,166 --> 01:34:03,875
not bite you. I
1967
01:34:03,875 --> 01:34:04,625
was like, you
1968
01:34:04,625 --> 01:34:05,083
guys are not
1969
01:34:05,083 --> 01:34:05,708
afraid. It's
1970
01:34:05,708 --> 01:34:06,375
like, no, no, no,
1971
01:34:06,375 --> 01:34:07,375
we knew the small
1972
01:34:07,375 --> 01:34:08,083
ones were fine.
1973
01:34:08,083 --> 01:34:08,666
But the big ones,
1974
01:34:08,666 --> 01:34:09,208
we had to leave
1975
01:34:09,208 --> 01:34:09,458
the water. You never know.
1976
01:34:10,500 --> 01:34:13,750
But she said she
1977
01:34:13,750 --> 01:34:15,250
was like, she was
1978
01:34:15,250 --> 01:34:15,666
like, Oh, but
1979
01:34:15,666 --> 01:34:16,666
they only like to
1980
01:34:16,666 --> 01:34:17,333
to eat the
1981
01:34:17,333 --> 01:34:18,250
military because
1982
01:34:18,250 --> 01:34:18,791
there was the
1983
01:34:18,791 --> 01:34:19,083
mercenaries.
1984
01:34:19,083 --> 01:34:20,041
She's like, I
1985
01:34:20,041 --> 01:34:20,500
didn't eat
1986
01:34:20,500 --> 01:34:21,041
mercenaries
1987
01:34:21,041 --> 01:34:21,666
because there's
1988
01:34:21,666 --> 01:34:22,291
always someone.
1989
01:34:22,958 --> 01:34:23,625
Yeah, it was
1990
01:34:23,625 --> 01:34:24,958
like, they don't
1991
01:34:24,958 --> 01:34:25,583
eat the locals.
1992
01:34:25,791 --> 01:34:26,166
It's like the
1993
01:34:26,166 --> 01:34:26,750
mercenaries they
1994
01:34:26,750 --> 01:34:27,500
deserve. And I
1995
01:34:27,500 --> 01:34:28,000
was like, Oh,
1996
01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:28,541
mom, you can't
1997
01:34:28,541 --> 01:34:29,000
say that.
1998
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:29,250
And she's
1999
01:34:29,250 --> 01:34:29,750
like, yeah.
2000
01:34:29,750 --> 01:34:32,458
Yeah. Yeah.
2001
01:34:32,708 --> 01:34:32,916
Yeah.
2002
01:34:33,500 --> 01:34:33,791
Yeah.
2003
01:34:35,000 --> 01:34:35,500
What, what, what
2004
01:34:35,500 --> 01:34:36,416
I've just curious
2005
01:34:36,416 --> 01:34:37,083
because of my own
2006
01:34:37,083 --> 01:34:37,958
connections from
2007
01:34:37,958 --> 01:34:38,458
in Southern
2008
01:34:38,458 --> 01:34:39,000
Africa, what year
2009
01:34:39,000 --> 01:34:39,416
did your mom
2010
01:34:39,416 --> 01:34:40,458
leave? Did they
2011
01:34:40,458 --> 01:34:41,083
leave South?
2012
01:34:41,333 --> 01:34:42,083
They stayed there
2013
01:34:42,083 --> 01:34:43,458
long. She, I
2014
01:34:43,458 --> 01:34:43,791
think it
2015
01:34:43,791 --> 01:34:45,791
was 87. Yeah.
2016
01:34:46,250 --> 01:34:46,458
87.
2017
01:34:46,791 --> 01:34:47,541
Because the war
2018
01:34:47,541 --> 01:34:49,083
started in 75. So
2019
01:34:49,083 --> 01:34:50,458
it was almost 11
2020
01:34:50,458 --> 01:34:51,500
years. So yeah,
2021
01:34:52,125 --> 01:34:52,458
11 years.
2022
01:34:53,500 --> 01:34:55,750
Yeah. And you had
2023
01:34:55,750 --> 01:34:56,916
to, you still had
2024
01:34:56,916 --> 01:34:58,291
before the Civil
2025
01:34:58,291 --> 01:34:59,041
War, you were
2026
01:34:59,041 --> 01:35:00,000
the, but this was
2027
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:01,000
not in the area
2028
01:35:01,000 --> 01:35:01,458
that they were
2029
01:35:01,458 --> 01:35:02,000
living, which was
2030
01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:02,541
the capital,
2031
01:35:03,375 --> 01:35:04,625
because it was a
2032
01:35:04,625 --> 01:35:04,916
Portuguese.
2033
01:35:05,916 --> 01:35:06,750
So Angola used to
2034
01:35:06,750 --> 01:35:07,291
be a Portuguese
2035
01:35:07,291 --> 01:35:08,583
colony. And
2036
01:35:08,583 --> 01:35:11,083
before the
2037
01:35:11,083 --> 01:35:12,333
revolution here
2038
01:35:12,333 --> 01:35:13,083
in Portugal, this
2039
01:35:13,083 --> 01:35:14,041
is why the troops
2040
01:35:14,041 --> 01:35:15,125
left. There was
2041
01:35:15,125 --> 01:35:15,916
already fights
2042
01:35:15,916 --> 01:35:17,333
with the
2043
01:35:17,333 --> 01:35:18,166
guerrillas from
2044
01:35:18,166 --> 01:35:19,333
Angola. So they
2045
01:35:19,333 --> 01:35:19,750
wanted the
2046
01:35:19,750 --> 01:35:20,583
independence and
2047
01:35:20,583 --> 01:35:20,833
they were
2048
01:35:20,833 --> 01:35:21,375
fighting against
2049
01:35:21,375 --> 01:35:21,750
the Portuguese.
2050
01:35:22,500 --> 01:35:22,875
And it was always
2051
01:35:22,875 --> 01:35:23,583
worse since I
2052
01:35:23,583 --> 01:35:24,625
was, since the
2053
01:35:24,625 --> 01:35:25,208
beginning of the
2054
01:35:25,208 --> 01:35:27,125
sixties. Yeah. It
2055
01:35:27,125 --> 01:35:28,541
was crazy. Yeah.
2056
01:35:28,750 --> 01:35:29,958
Yeah. It's, and I
2057
01:35:29,958 --> 01:35:30,500
think all over
2058
01:35:30,500 --> 01:35:31,583
Africa, it's,
2059
01:35:31,583 --> 01:35:32,541
it's really sad.
2060
01:35:32,541 --> 01:35:33,291
It's an amazing
2061
01:35:33,291 --> 01:35:35,083
continent. Yeah.
2062
01:35:35,458 --> 01:35:36,458
Yeah. And the
2063
01:35:36,458 --> 01:35:37,250
Civil War didn't
2064
01:35:37,250 --> 01:35:37,791
finish until
2065
01:35:37,791 --> 01:35:39,208
2002, like on and
2066
01:35:39,208 --> 01:35:40,208
off. Is that, is
2067
01:35:40,208 --> 01:35:40,583
that correct?
2068
01:35:41,625 --> 01:35:41,833
Correct.
2069
01:35:41,958 --> 01:35:42,625
So they're not
2070
01:35:42,625 --> 01:35:43,583
long out of a
2071
01:35:43,583 --> 01:35:44,333
civil war. That's
2072
01:35:44,333 --> 01:35:44,916
a long,
2073
01:35:45,166 --> 01:35:46,666
long war. Wow.
2074
01:35:47,500 --> 01:35:48,916
I, I, I told the
2075
01:35:48,916 --> 01:35:49,375
story when I
2076
01:35:49,375 --> 01:35:50,000
first time and
2077
01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:50,666
I've, you and I
2078
01:35:50,666 --> 01:35:51,166
have talked
2079
01:35:51,166 --> 01:35:52,666
separately about
2080
01:35:52,666 --> 01:35:54,375
this when I, I
2081
01:35:54,375 --> 01:35:55,000
went into Namibia
2082
01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:55,708
the first time in
2083
01:35:55,708 --> 01:35:56,750
87, we went all
2084
01:35:56,750 --> 01:35:57,250
the way up to
2085
01:35:57,250 --> 01:35:58,083
skeleton coast up
2086
01:35:58,083 --> 01:35:59,000
through, up
2087
01:35:59,000 --> 01:35:59,416
towards the
2088
01:35:59,416 --> 01:36:00,083
Caprivi and all
2089
01:36:00,083 --> 01:36:00,500
that area.
2090
01:36:00,500 --> 01:36:02,250
And it was land
2091
01:36:02,250 --> 01:36:03,625
mines and you got
2092
01:36:03,625 --> 01:36:04,375
elephants, you
2093
01:36:04,375 --> 01:36:05,083
got lions, you
2094
01:36:05,083 --> 01:36:05,541
got all, and then
2095
01:36:05,541 --> 01:36:06,000
they tell you
2096
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:06,416
like, oh yeah,
2097
01:36:06,416 --> 01:36:06,958
it's land mine
2098
01:36:06,958 --> 01:36:07,625
season. You're
2099
01:36:07,625 --> 01:36:08,041
like, what the
2100
01:36:08,041 --> 01:36:08,458
hell, land mines.
2101
01:36:09,500 --> 01:36:10,916
And, uh, you
2102
01:36:10,916 --> 01:36:11,416
know, trying to
2103
01:36:11,416 --> 01:36:12,083
get up, I was
2104
01:36:12,083 --> 01:36:12,875
trying to kind of
2105
01:36:12,875 --> 01:36:13,416
like, you know,
2106
01:36:13,416 --> 01:36:14,083
surveying all the
2107
01:36:14,083 --> 01:36:14,833
way up. I could,
2108
01:36:15,541 --> 01:36:15,958
so I'm kind of
2109
01:36:15,958 --> 01:36:16,458
fascinated with
2110
01:36:16,458 --> 01:36:17,166
your stuff now.
2111
01:36:17,166 --> 01:36:17,708
Cause you're,
2112
01:36:17,708 --> 01:36:18,125
you're in that
2113
01:36:18,125 --> 01:36:18,875
Southern Angola
2114
01:36:18,875 --> 01:36:19,500
area that I know
2115
01:36:19,500 --> 01:36:20,208
was never able to
2116
01:36:20,208 --> 01:36:21,291
get into because
2117
01:36:21,291 --> 01:36:22,375
of the civil war
2118
01:36:22,375 --> 01:36:23,166
to see
2119
01:36:23,166 --> 01:36:23,666
what occurs.
2120
01:36:23,666 --> 01:36:24,291
How many of those
2121
01:36:24,291 --> 01:36:24,916
things go all the
2122
01:36:24,916 --> 01:36:25,375
way up into
2123
01:36:25,375 --> 01:36:27,458
Angola. So I got,
2124
01:36:27,708 --> 01:36:28,083
in fact, I just
2125
01:36:28,083 --> 01:36:28,791
saw you had it.
2126
01:36:28,791 --> 01:36:29,291
You posted a
2127
01:36:29,291 --> 01:36:29,750
seven gills
2128
01:36:29,750 --> 01:36:30,333
shark, I think
2129
01:36:30,333 --> 01:36:31,416
recently on your,
2130
01:36:31,416 --> 01:36:32,833
on your thing,
2131
01:36:32,833 --> 01:36:33,416
which I was
2132
01:36:33,416 --> 01:36:34,208
really happy to
2133
01:36:34,208 --> 01:36:34,916
see. Well, I
2134
01:36:34,916 --> 01:36:35,458
wasn't happy to
2135
01:36:35,458 --> 01:36:36,000
see it was dead,
2136
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:36,500
but I was kind of
2137
01:36:36,500 --> 01:36:37,125
happy to see that
2138
01:36:37,125 --> 01:36:37,458
they get up.
2139
01:36:37,500 --> 01:36:39,916
Well, we will be
2140
01:36:39,916 --> 01:36:41,000
waiting for your
2141
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:42,958
visit then. We
2142
01:36:42,958 --> 01:36:44,083
set up the hub.
2143
01:36:45,208 --> 01:36:46,208
One of the
2144
01:36:46,208 --> 01:36:48,166
objectives of it,
2145
01:36:48,166 --> 01:36:48,708
like the goals
2146
01:36:48,708 --> 01:36:49,625
will be to
2147
01:36:49,625 --> 01:36:50,916
actually generate
2148
01:36:50,916 --> 01:36:52,500
some that we are
2149
01:36:52,500 --> 01:36:53,083
self sufficient
2150
01:36:53,083 --> 01:36:54,041
because I'm
2151
01:36:54,041 --> 01:36:55,166
always counting
2152
01:36:55,166 --> 01:36:58,125
on funding from
2153
01:36:58,125 --> 01:36:59,500
NGOs or the
2154
01:36:59,500 --> 01:37:00,458
foundations, etc.
2155
01:37:00,500 --> 01:37:02,125
But since this is
2156
01:37:02,125 --> 01:37:02,916
not a PhD
2157
01:37:02,916 --> 01:37:03,958
anymore, and this
2158
01:37:03,958 --> 01:37:04,666
is going to be my
2159
01:37:04,666 --> 01:37:06,458
work, I need to
2160
01:37:06,458 --> 01:37:07,375
also think in
2161
01:37:07,375 --> 01:37:08,541
other ways of
2162
01:37:08,541 --> 01:37:11,916
promoted and to
2163
01:37:11,916 --> 01:37:13,541
sustain myself
2164
01:37:13,541 --> 01:37:14,041
and the
2165
01:37:14,041 --> 01:37:14,833
volunteers, which
2166
01:37:14,833 --> 01:37:15,458
will not be
2167
01:37:15,458 --> 01:37:15,916
volunteers.
2168
01:37:15,916 --> 01:37:16,583
At least the
2169
01:37:16,583 --> 01:37:17,583
smaller group,
2170
01:37:17,583 --> 01:37:18,041
which is in the
2171
01:37:18,041 --> 01:37:18,791
website, all the
2172
01:37:18,791 --> 01:37:19,416
team is there.
2173
01:37:19,416 --> 01:37:19,833
Well, they
2174
01:37:19,833 --> 01:37:20,625
deserve to be
2175
01:37:20,625 --> 01:37:21,833
paid as well. And
2176
01:37:21,833 --> 01:37:22,708
I do want to give
2177
01:37:22,708 --> 01:37:23,791
them, give them
2178
01:37:23,791 --> 01:37:25,500
also a job. So
2179
01:37:25,500 --> 01:37:26,333
for me and for
2180
01:37:26,333 --> 01:37:28,000
them. And we will
2181
01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:29,333
like to develop
2182
01:37:29,333 --> 01:37:29,458
some sort of effort.
2183
01:37:29,500 --> 01:37:30,208
We will like to develop some sort
2184
01:37:30,208 --> 01:37:31,125
of echo tourism.
2185
01:37:31,375 --> 01:37:32,166
So Angola is
2186
01:37:32,166 --> 01:37:33,041
opening borders
2187
01:37:33,041 --> 01:37:35,000
to more than 50
2188
01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:35,750
countries, no
2189
01:37:35,750 --> 01:37:36,833
visa. So they're
2190
01:37:36,833 --> 01:37:37,375
trying to promote
2191
01:37:37,375 --> 01:37:39,166
now this. So
2192
01:37:39,166 --> 01:37:39,833
that's the
2193
01:37:39,833 --> 01:37:41,458
tourism scene
2194
01:37:41,458 --> 01:37:43,000
there. There's
2195
01:37:43,000 --> 01:37:43,708
no, there's no
2196
01:37:43,708 --> 01:37:44,708
infrastructure at
2197
01:37:44,708 --> 01:37:45,458
all, which is
2198
01:37:45,458 --> 01:37:46,208
different unless
2199
01:37:46,208 --> 01:37:46,958
you are in the
2200
01:37:46,958 --> 01:37:47,791
wonder. But I
2201
01:37:47,791 --> 01:37:48,416
mean, no one goes
2202
01:37:48,416 --> 01:37:49,625
to just to see
2203
01:37:49,625 --> 01:37:50,208
the one that you
2204
01:37:50,208 --> 01:37:50,791
want to see the
2205
01:37:50,791 --> 01:37:51,500
wild. It's a
2206
01:37:51,500 --> 01:37:51,666
beautiful
2207
01:37:51,666 --> 01:37:53,250
country. But I
2208
01:37:53,250 --> 01:37:53,458
don't know.
2209
01:37:53,500 --> 01:37:54,125
Probably they're
2210
01:37:54,125 --> 01:37:55,666
trying to try to
2211
01:37:55,666 --> 01:37:56,583
invest a lot of
2212
01:37:56,583 --> 01:37:56,958
money, but
2213
01:37:56,958 --> 01:37:57,291
there's no
2214
01:37:57,291 --> 01:37:57,750
construction
2215
01:37:57,750 --> 01:37:59,166
still. But having
2216
01:37:59,166 --> 01:37:59,708
the hub in
2217
01:37:59,708 --> 01:38:00,875
Angola, if we can
2218
01:38:00,875 --> 01:38:03,041
have like the
2219
01:38:03,041 --> 01:38:03,916
goal is to have a
2220
01:38:03,916 --> 01:38:04,750
house that we can
2221
01:38:04,750 --> 01:38:05,958
have from
2222
01:38:05,958 --> 01:38:06,458
education.
2223
01:38:06,708 --> 01:38:07,208
We can we don't
2224
01:38:07,208 --> 01:38:08,166
need to go to you
2225
01:38:08,166 --> 01:38:09,958
to do our
2226
01:38:09,958 --> 01:38:10,375
awareness
2227
01:38:10,375 --> 01:38:11,000
campaign. You can
2228
01:38:11,000 --> 01:38:11,833
come to us. You
2229
01:38:11,833 --> 01:38:12,708
can visit to do
2230
01:38:12,708 --> 01:38:13,458
imagine on a
2231
01:38:13,458 --> 01:38:14,958
Friday night, a
2232
01:38:14,958 --> 01:38:15,625
movie
2233
01:38:15,625 --> 01:38:16,583
environmental
2234
01:38:16,583 --> 01:38:17,500
movie night for
2235
01:38:17,500 --> 01:38:19,000
the community.
2236
01:38:19,500 --> 01:38:20,166
And this stuff
2237
01:38:20,166 --> 01:38:20,625
that never
2238
01:38:20,625 --> 01:38:21,375
happened there.
2239
01:38:21,666 --> 01:38:22,208
And we want to
2240
01:38:22,208 --> 01:38:22,708
really promote
2241
01:38:22,708 --> 01:38:23,416
this as a center
2242
01:38:23,416 --> 01:38:24,500
for all of the
2243
01:38:24,500 --> 01:38:25,500
volunteers and
2244
01:38:25,500 --> 01:38:26,083
people that want
2245
01:38:26,083 --> 01:38:27,208
to reach and to
2246
01:38:27,208 --> 01:38:28,083
help not only
2247
01:38:28,083 --> 01:38:30,000
about how can I
2248
01:38:30,000 --> 01:38:30,708
say the Angola
2249
01:38:30,708 --> 01:38:31,291
LASMO product.
2250
01:38:31,291 --> 01:38:32,000
But there's a lot
2251
01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:32,791
of things to do
2252
01:38:32,791 --> 01:38:33,916
there. And I will
2253
01:38:33,916 --> 01:38:34,791
discover and I
2254
01:38:34,791 --> 01:38:35,625
will to partner
2255
01:38:35,625 --> 01:38:36,708
with to really
2256
01:38:36,708 --> 01:38:38,500
help also the
2257
01:38:38,500 --> 01:38:39,416
population there
2258
01:38:39,416 --> 01:38:41,000
in terms not only
2259
01:38:41,000 --> 01:38:41,666
in terms of
2260
01:38:41,666 --> 01:38:43,208
fishery or sharks
2261
01:38:43,208 --> 01:38:44,833
and rays, because
2262
01:38:44,833 --> 01:38:46,125
it also has to do
2263
01:38:46,125 --> 01:38:47,166
with all of this
2264
01:38:47,166 --> 01:38:47,625
fishing.
2265
01:38:48,500 --> 01:38:50,125
Excessive fishing
2266
01:38:50,125 --> 01:38:52,375
and it's to do
2267
01:38:52,375 --> 01:38:52,916
with also the
2268
01:38:52,916 --> 01:38:53,416
conditions that
2269
01:38:53,416 --> 01:38:53,916
people leave
2270
01:38:53,916 --> 01:38:55,083
there. So if we
2271
01:38:55,083 --> 01:38:56,000
start to change
2272
01:38:56,000 --> 01:38:57,083
the mentality in
2273
01:38:57,083 --> 01:38:57,875
terms of with our
2274
01:38:57,875 --> 01:38:58,500
awareness
2275
01:38:58,500 --> 01:38:59,041
campaigns and
2276
01:38:59,041 --> 01:39:00,291
also improving
2277
01:39:00,291 --> 01:39:00,625
their
2278
01:39:00,625 --> 01:39:02,333
livelihoods, I
2279
01:39:02,333 --> 01:39:03,458
think we can also
2280
01:39:03,458 --> 01:39:04,125
have a shift.
2281
01:39:04,416 --> 01:39:04,958
It's natural to
2282
01:39:04,958 --> 01:39:05,916
have a shift in
2283
01:39:05,916 --> 01:39:07,666
this sharks and
2284
01:39:07,666 --> 01:39:09,250
rays fish. So I
2285
01:39:09,250 --> 01:39:10,291
will try to
2286
01:39:10,291 --> 01:39:11,125
invent many
2287
01:39:11,125 --> 01:39:12,041
angles that I
2288
01:39:12,041 --> 01:39:13,666
will only be able
2289
01:39:13,666 --> 01:39:14,250
to figure out
2290
01:39:14,250 --> 01:39:15,166
once I'm there, I
2291
01:39:15,166 --> 01:39:15,458
think. Yeah.
2292
01:39:15,500 --> 01:39:17,125
Yeah. Yeah. Well,
2293
01:39:17,125 --> 01:39:18,250
definitely. It's
2294
01:39:18,250 --> 01:39:18,666
a fascinating
2295
01:39:18,666 --> 01:39:19,166
area because you
2296
01:39:19,166 --> 01:39:20,250
have a big final
2297
01:39:20,250 --> 01:39:21,041
change there in
2298
01:39:21,041 --> 01:39:21,583
that southern
2299
01:39:21,583 --> 01:39:23,166
area there. And
2300
01:39:23,166 --> 01:39:23,916
that's why I was
2301
01:39:23,916 --> 01:39:24,250
always curious,
2302
01:39:24,250 --> 01:39:25,083
like how further
2303
01:39:25,083 --> 01:39:25,833
up the Namibia
2304
01:39:25,833 --> 01:39:26,708
and Fauna went.
2305
01:39:26,708 --> 01:39:27,000
And then it
2306
01:39:27,000 --> 01:39:27,750
changes. Then you
2307
01:39:27,750 --> 01:39:28,583
get more of a
2308
01:39:28,583 --> 01:39:29,750
warm tempered
2309
01:39:29,750 --> 01:39:31,250
subtropical type
2310
01:39:31,250 --> 01:39:32,000
of Fauna there.
2311
01:39:32,625 --> 01:39:33,208
And you're so
2312
01:39:33,208 --> 01:39:33,666
you're kind of
2313
01:39:33,666 --> 01:39:34,166
working in that
2314
01:39:34,166 --> 01:39:34,750
whole area,
2315
01:39:34,750 --> 01:39:36,250
correct? Yes.
2316
01:39:37,375 --> 01:39:37,458
Yes. Yeah.
2317
01:39:37,500 --> 01:39:38,791
So it's very
2318
01:39:38,791 --> 01:39:39,500
cool. The water
2319
01:39:39,500 --> 01:39:40,166
is very cold
2320
01:39:40,166 --> 01:39:40,875
there. It's
2321
01:39:40,875 --> 01:39:41,333
really, really
2322
01:39:41,333 --> 01:39:42,458
cold. Even in the
2323
01:39:42,458 --> 01:39:43,583
summer, it is
2324
01:39:43,583 --> 01:39:45,000
cold. But then
2325
01:39:45,000 --> 01:39:47,375
once you go to
2326
01:39:47,375 --> 01:39:48,500
the Benguela
2327
01:39:48,500 --> 01:39:49,458
province, it
2328
01:39:49,458 --> 01:39:50,166
starts getting
2329
01:39:50,166 --> 01:39:51,291
warmer and you
2330
01:39:51,291 --> 01:39:51,875
have really
2331
01:39:51,875 --> 01:39:53,500
crystalline
2332
01:39:53,500 --> 01:39:54,625
waters. It's
2333
01:39:54,625 --> 01:39:55,291
really changes
2334
01:39:55,291 --> 01:39:56,375
everything. Yeah.
2335
01:39:56,375 --> 01:39:57,000
I've never I've
2336
01:39:57,000 --> 01:39:58,166
never been there.
2337
01:39:58,666 --> 01:39:59,333
This is something
2338
01:39:59,333 --> 01:40:00,166
that I want to do
2339
01:40:00,166 --> 01:40:00,833
when I'm there.
2340
01:40:01,541 --> 01:40:02,083
But I will love
2341
01:40:02,083 --> 01:40:03,291
to see. Yeah. So,
2342
01:40:03,291 --> 01:40:03,791
okay. So that's
2343
01:40:03,791 --> 01:40:04,458
further north of
2344
01:40:04,458 --> 01:40:05,000
where you're at
2345
01:40:05,000 --> 01:40:05,833
there where it
2346
01:40:05,833 --> 01:40:06,916
goes from the
2347
01:40:06,916 --> 01:40:08,416
Benguela to the
2348
01:40:08,416 --> 01:40:09,083
camera, the name
2349
01:40:09,083 --> 01:40:09,541
of the current
2350
01:40:09,541 --> 01:40:10,208
above that.
2351
01:40:11,250 --> 01:40:11,416
Because you're
2352
01:40:11,416 --> 01:40:11,750
more in the
2353
01:40:11,750 --> 01:40:12,458
Benguela current.
2354
01:40:12,875 --> 01:40:13,208
Correct. I mean,
2355
01:40:13,208 --> 01:40:13,625
the Benguela
2356
01:40:13,625 --> 01:40:14,666
current is at the
2357
01:40:14,666 --> 01:40:15,875
end of it. So I'm
2358
01:40:15,875 --> 01:40:16,708
really close to
2359
01:40:16,708 --> 01:40:17,791
the Namibia
2360
01:40:17,791 --> 01:40:19,750
border. And then
2361
01:40:19,750 --> 01:40:20,750
you have the
2362
01:40:20,750 --> 01:40:21,166
current of
2363
01:40:21,166 --> 01:40:22,375
Angola. So it
2364
01:40:22,375 --> 01:40:23,041
will really go
2365
01:40:23,041 --> 01:40:24,041
through. And then
2366
01:40:24,041 --> 01:40:25,291
you have the Gulf
2367
01:40:25,291 --> 01:40:26,208
of the Guinea.
2368
01:40:26,500 --> 01:40:28,208
And then
2369
01:40:28,208 --> 01:40:28,500
you have the
2370
01:40:28,500 --> 01:40:29,291
Angolan current,
2371
01:40:29,541 --> 01:40:30,666
which mixes with
2372
01:40:30,666 --> 01:40:32,208
the the the
2373
01:40:32,208 --> 01:40:33,250
Benguela and then
2374
01:40:33,250 --> 01:40:34,416
it shifts during
2375
01:40:34,416 --> 01:40:35,416
the summer or
2376
01:40:35,416 --> 01:40:36,083
during the winter
2377
01:40:36,083 --> 01:40:37,000
goes up or down.
2378
01:40:37,458 --> 01:40:37,916
So you have a
2379
01:40:37,916 --> 01:40:38,416
shift also
2380
01:40:38,416 --> 01:40:39,458
species. This is
2381
01:40:39,458 --> 01:40:40,541
this is for the
2382
01:40:40,541 --> 01:40:41,416
future. I will
2383
01:40:41,416 --> 01:40:42,000
have plenty of
2384
01:40:42,000 --> 01:40:43,083
time now to
2385
01:40:43,083 --> 01:40:43,916
travel to these
2386
01:40:43,916 --> 01:40:45,083
places and try to
2387
01:40:45,083 --> 01:40:45,833

01:40:47,833 --> 01:40:48,666
Fascinating area.
2391
01:40:48,958 --> 01:40:49,083
Really
2392
01:40:49,083 --> 01:40:50,500
fascinating area.
2393
01:40:50,958 --> 01:40:51,375
Anything else
2394
01:40:51,375 --> 01:40:51,833

2395
01:40:51,833 --> 01:40:52,500

last more like
2514
01:43:02,416 --> 01:43:03,333
permanently. This
2515
01:43:03,333 --> 01:43:04,291
is something
2516
01:43:04,291 --> 01:43:05,500
that's been on
2517
01:43:05,500 --> 01:43:06,458
her mind for a long time as we saw, she's getting married and she's getting married and she's getting married and she's getting married and she's getting married and she's getting married. And I'm glad that you're here.
2518
01:43:06,500 --> 01:43:07,708
Back in an hour, I think to put on a long time as we
2519
01:43:07,708 --> 01:43:08,708
saw Dave, she's
2520
01:43:08,708 --> 01:43:09,375
getting married
2521
01:43:09,375 --> 01:43:09,833
and they're going
2522
01:43:09,833 --> 01:43:10,625
to move her her
2523
01:43:10,625 --> 01:43:11,041
and her partner
2524
01:43:11,041 --> 01:43:11,666
are going to move
2525
01:43:11,666 --> 01:43:13,666
down to Africa to
2526
01:43:13,666 --> 01:43:15,166
Angola and I
2527
01:43:15,166 --> 01:43:15,708
think is a bit of
2528
01:43:15,708 --> 01:43:17,125
an interesting
2529
01:43:17,125 --> 01:43:18,208
story because her
2530
01:43:18,208 --> 01:43:19,000
parents as she
2531
01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:19,500
mentioned,
2532
01:43:20,500 --> 01:43:21,708
They had to flee
2533
01:43:21,708 --> 01:43:23,000
to Portugal now
2534
01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:23,958
going back kind
2535
01:43:23,958 --> 01:43:24,875
of like a bit of
2536
01:43:24,875 --> 01:43:25,416
a circle
2537
01:43:25,500 --> 01:43:26,500
Moment for a full
2538
01:43:26,500 --> 01:43:27,375
circle moment for
2539
01:43:27,375 --> 01:43:27,833
her and her
2540
01:43:27,833 --> 01:43:28,916
family which I
2541
01:43:28,916 --> 01:43:29,500
think is I think
2542
01:43:29,500 --> 01:43:29,875
is really
2543
01:43:29,875 --> 01:43:30,875
important her mom
2544
01:43:30,875 --> 01:43:31,666
a little nervous
2545
01:43:31,666 --> 01:43:32,333
That she's going
2546
01:43:32,333 --> 01:43:33,083
of course being
2547
01:43:33,083 --> 01:43:34,000
so far away
2548
01:43:34,125 --> 01:43:35,458
But it's it's
2549
01:43:35,458 --> 01:43:36,000
definitely an
2550
01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:36,833
interesting life
2551
01:43:36,833 --> 01:43:37,166
update
2552
01:43:37,166 --> 01:43:38,000
now Dave you

01:43:47,500 --> 01:43:47,958
you did it
2563
01:43:48,500 --> 01:43:49,583
That's a that's a
2564
01:43:49,583 --> 01:43:50,250
huge thing for
2565
01:43:50,250 --> 01:43:50,750
her. Although
2566
01:43:50,750 --> 01:43:51,500
she's used to
2567
01:43:51,500 --> 01:43:52,083
being in Angola
2568
01:43:52,083 --> 01:43:52,541
because she's
2569
01:43:52,541 --> 01:43:53,458
lives there, you
2570
01:43:53,458 --> 01:43:54,208
know part time
2571
01:43:54,208 --> 01:43:55,666
She has a move is
2572
01:43:55,666 --> 01:43:57,000
that that's huge
2573
01:43:57,000 --> 01:43:57,666
I mean she and I
2574
01:43:57,666 --> 01:43:58,166
think she has a
2575
01:43:58,166 --> 01:43:59,625
she has a pass an
2576
01:43:59,625 --> 01:44:00,416
Angolan passport
2577
01:44:00,416 --> 01:44:00,833
because of
2578
01:44:00,833 --> 01:44:01,000
her parents
2579
01:44:01,291 --> 01:44:01,791
She's able to get
2580
01:44:01,791 --> 01:44:02,041
an angry
2581
01:44:02,041 --> 01:44:03,583
passport and
2582
01:44:04,250 --> 01:44:05,416
It's huge. I mean
2583
01:44:05,416 --> 01:44:05,958
it's a lot. It's
2584
01:44:05,958 --> 01:44:06,958
a lot calmer now,
2585
01:44:06,958 --> 01:44:07,708
you know as we
2586
01:44:07,708 --> 01:44:08,333
talked touched a
2587
01:44:08,333 --> 01:44:08,916
little bit on and
2588
01:44:08,916 --> 01:44:09,041
we've
2589
01:44:09,041 --> 01:44:09,500
talked before
2590
01:44:09,500 --> 01:44:09,791
then you know,
2591
01:44:09,791 --> 01:44:10,458
they were in a
2592
01:44:10,458 --> 01:44:11,166
you know, they
2593
01:44:11,166 --> 01:44:11,583
were in a quite a
2594
01:44:11,625 --> 01:44:13,375
Bad Civil War
2595
01:44:13,375 --> 01:44:14,333
back in the 80s
2596
01:44:14,333 --> 01:44:15,291
late 80s when I
2597
01:44:15,291 --> 01:44:15,916
was there and
2598
01:44:15,916 --> 01:44:16,666
sound like her
2599
01:44:16,666 --> 01:44:17,625
her parents left
2600
01:44:17,625 --> 01:44:18,250
about the time
2601
01:44:18,250 --> 01:44:18,500
with her
2602
01:44:18,500 --> 01:44:19,291
Two older sisters
2603
01:44:19,291 --> 01:44:20,250
about the time I
2604
01:44:20,250 --> 01:44:21,541
rolled into South
2605
01:44:21,541 --> 01:44:22,375
Africa and spent
2606
01:44:22,375 --> 01:44:22,750
time up
2607
01:44:22,750 --> 01:44:23,375
in Namibia
2608
01:44:24,458 --> 01:44:26,583
But yeah to up
2609
01:44:26,583 --> 01:44:27,166
and be heading
2610
01:44:27,166 --> 01:44:28,250
back down there
2611
01:44:28,250 --> 01:44:29,250
to take up
2612
01:44:29,250 --> 01:44:29,791
roots there
2613
01:44:29,791 --> 01:44:30,541
You know given
2614
01:44:30,541 --> 01:44:31,208
her parents had
2615
01:44:31,208 --> 01:44:32,250
left it's gonna
2616
01:44:32,250 --> 01:44:32,875
be quite a thing
2617
01:44:32,875 --> 01:44:33,958
I have to say we
2618
01:44:33,958 --> 01:44:34,791
might have to
2619
01:44:34,791 --> 01:44:35,375
have her her
2620
01:44:35,375 --> 01:44:36,208
future husband on
2621
01:44:36,208 --> 01:44:36,750
the show guy
2622
01:44:36,750 --> 01:44:37,291
I got to find out
2623
01:44:37,291 --> 01:44:38,166
why this because
2624
01:44:38,166 --> 01:44:39,041
it's one thing if
2625
01:44:39,041 --> 01:44:39,625
you're used to
2626
01:44:39,625 --> 01:44:40,041
that lifestyle
2627
01:44:40,291 --> 01:44:40,833
But if you're
2628
01:44:40,833 --> 01:44:41,750
saying like hi,
2629
01:44:41,750 --> 01:44:42,125
honey, we're
2630
01:44:42,125 --> 01:44:42,250
gonna get
2631
01:44:42,250 --> 01:44:42,666
married. They're
2632
01:44:42,666 --> 01:44:42,958
gonna move
2633
01:44:42,958 --> 01:44:43,625
down Gola
2634
01:44:44,375 --> 01:44:45,125
That's a pretty
2635
01:44:45,125 --> 01:44:46,333
big deal. That's
2636
01:44:46,333 --> 01:44:47,166
a huge that's
2637
01:44:47,166 --> 01:44:47,416
lover
2638
01:44:47,416 --> 01:44:48,500
something boy
2639
01:44:48,500 --> 01:44:53,000
Yes, I I did it I
2640
01:44:53,000 --> 01:44:53,541
don't know how
2641
01:44:53,541 --> 01:44:54,041
that would have
2642
01:44:54,041 --> 01:44:54,541
if I would have
2643
01:44:54,541 --> 01:44:54,916
been married
2644
01:44:54,916 --> 01:44:55,416
I don't think
2645
01:44:55,416 --> 01:44:55,791
that would have
2646
01:44:55,791 --> 01:44:56,625
lasted at all
2647
01:44:56,625 --> 01:44:57,375
because it's a
2648
01:44:57,375 --> 01:44:59,041
huge huge change.
2649
01:44:59,041 --> 01:45:00,500
It's oh, yeah,
2650
01:45:00,500 --> 01:45:01,041
especially where
2651
01:45:01,041 --> 01:45:01,416
they're moving
2652
01:45:01,416 --> 01:45:02,250
down the south
2653
01:45:02,250 --> 01:45:02,750
It's not like
2654
01:45:02,750 --> 01:45:03,041
you're gonna be
2655
01:45:03,041 --> 01:45:04,458
in Luanda one of
2656
01:45:04,458 --> 01:45:05,166
the major cities
2657
01:45:05,166 --> 01:45:05,666
there where she's
2658
01:45:05,666 --> 01:45:06,041
moving. It's
2659
01:45:06,041 --> 01:45:06,291
gonna be
2660
01:45:06,625 --> 01:45:07,791
I mean they have
2661
01:45:07,791 --> 01:45:08,375
you know, they
2662
01:45:08,375 --> 01:45:09,333
have stuff there,
2663
01:45:09,333 --> 01:45:09,958
you know
2664
01:45:10,291 --> 01:45:11,166
Internet and some
2665
01:45:11,166 --> 01:45:12,000
of the basics,
2666
01:45:12,000 --> 01:45:13,291
but it's gonna be
2667
01:45:13,291 --> 01:45:13,625
a definitely
2668
01:45:13,625 --> 01:45:13,875
different
2669
01:45:13,875 --> 01:45:14,500
definitely a bit
2670
01:45:14,500 --> 01:45:15,333
of a change and
2671
01:45:16,041 --> 01:45:17,041
I'm excited. I'm
2672
01:45:17,041 --> 01:45:17,708
kind of happy for
2673
01:45:17,708 --> 01:45:18,333
her. She really
2674
01:45:18,333 --> 01:45:18,916
she's found what
2675
01:45:18,916 --> 01:45:20,000
she's done. She's
2676
01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:20,708
connected into
2677
01:45:20,708 --> 01:45:21,250
the community
2678
01:45:21,250 --> 01:45:22,000
She knows the
2679
01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:23,250
local politicians
2680
01:45:23,250 --> 01:45:24,250
down there
2681
01:45:24,583 --> 01:45:26,000
And the the
2682
01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:26,333
different
2683
01:45:26,333 --> 01:45:27,291
agencies and they
2684
01:45:27,291 --> 01:45:27,708
seem to really
2685
01:45:27,708 --> 01:45:28,291
like her from
2686
01:45:28,291 --> 01:45:28,583
what she
2687
01:45:28,583 --> 01:45:29,708
said. So yeah
2688
01:45:30,083 --> 01:45:31,041
Of course, I got
2689
01:45:31,041 --> 01:45:31,458
now I'm gonna
2690
01:45:31,458 --> 01:45:32,833
have to like go
2691
01:45:32,833 --> 01:45:33,291
have to visit
2692
01:45:33,291 --> 01:45:34,208
here sometime and
2693
01:45:34,208 --> 01:45:34,541
check it
2694
01:45:34,541 --> 01:45:34,750
out myself
2695
01:45:34,875 --> 01:45:35,833
Maybe maybe you
2696
01:45:35,833 --> 01:45:36,250
should come with
2697
01:45:36,250 --> 01:45:37,375
me Andrew. Hey,
2698
01:45:37,375 --> 01:45:37,916
I've never been
2699
01:45:37,916 --> 01:45:38,583
to Africa. I
2700
01:45:38,583 --> 01:45:39,000
think that would
2701
01:45:39,000 --> 01:45:39,583
be a lot of fun
2702
01:45:39,583 --> 01:45:40,958
I think oh baby
2703
01:45:41,666 --> 01:45:42,833
Right. We've got
2704
01:45:42,833 --> 01:45:43,291
the whole baby.
2705
01:45:43,291 --> 01:45:43,625
We've got
2706
01:45:43,625 --> 01:45:43,833
something
2707
01:45:43,833 --> 01:45:44,458
to show you
2708
01:45:46,375 --> 01:45:47,125
Yeah, I think
2709
01:45:47,125 --> 01:45:47,666
it'd be I think
2710
01:45:47,666 --> 01:45:48,083
it'd be a fun
2711
01:45:48,083 --> 01:45:48,416
experience
2712
01:45:48,416 --> 01:45:48,750
There's you know
2713
01:45:48,750 --> 01:45:49,166
There's a lot of
2714
01:45:49,166 --> 01:45:50,000
people that we
2715
01:45:50,000 --> 01:45:51,250
we've had on
2716
01:45:51,250 --> 01:45:51,791
guests who have
2717
01:45:51,791 --> 01:45:52,916
gone and done
2718
01:45:52,916 --> 01:45:53,416
research
2719
01:45:53,416 --> 01:45:54,541
or visited
2720
01:45:54,625 --> 01:45:55,833
You know as a
2721
01:45:55,833 --> 01:45:57,000
vacation down to
2722
01:45:57,000 --> 01:45:58,375

2723
01:45:58,375 --> 01:45:58,583
our
2724
01:45:58,583 --> 01:45:59,458
upcoming guests
2725
01:45:59,458 --> 01:46:00,875
And I think it's
2726
01:46:00,875 --> 01:46:01,625
kind of a cool
2727
01:46:01,625 --> 01:46:02,625
thing to to even
2728
01:46:02,625 --> 01:46:03,166
think about, you
2729
01:46:03,166 --> 01:46:03,625
know here in
2730
01:46:03,625 --> 01:46:03,833
North America
2731
01:46:03,875 --> 01:46:05,416
You know going to
2732
01:46:05,416 --> 01:46:06,458
Africa is such a
2733
01:46:06,458 --> 01:46:07,666
big deal, you
2734
01:46:07,666 --> 01:46:08,250
know when you go
2735
01:46:08,250 --> 01:46:09,375
on safari or you
2736
01:46:09,375 --> 01:46:10,083
go on a trip like
2737
01:46:10,083 --> 01:46:10,625
on vacation
2738
01:46:10,958 --> 01:46:11,666
You know, you
2739
01:46:11,666 --> 01:46:12,291
never think about
2740
01:46:12,291 --> 01:46:12,916
moving there. You
2741
01:46:12,916 --> 01:46:13,541
never think you
2742
01:46:13,541 --> 01:46:14,291
know, you just
2743
01:46:14,291 --> 01:46:14,833
hear so
2744
01:46:14,833 --> 01:46:15,458
many things
2745
01:46:15,458 --> 01:46:15,875
You just don't
2746
01:46:15,875 --> 01:46:16,250
know what to
2747
01:46:16,250 --> 01:46:16,875
think about even
2748
01:46:16,875 --> 01:46:17,750
South Africa is
2749
01:46:17,750 --> 01:46:19,208
such a big a big,
2750
01:46:19,208 --> 01:46:20,083
you know
2751
01:46:20,083 --> 01:46:21,000
It's a big travel
2752
01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:21,875
day. Obviously.
2753
01:46:21,875 --> 01:46:23,041
Yeah 24 hours to
2754
01:46:23,041 --> 01:46:23,750
get there. So
2755
01:46:23,750 --> 01:46:24,791
it's far away
2756
01:46:25,166 --> 01:46:25,791
But it's
2757
01:46:25,791 --> 01:46:26,125
something you
2758
01:46:26,125 --> 01:46:26,666
just never think
2759
01:46:26,666 --> 01:46:27,291
about, you know
2760
01:46:27,291 --> 01:46:28,125
for me anyway
2761
01:46:28,125 --> 01:46:29,041
being in Canada
2762
01:46:29,041 --> 01:46:29,500
or being in
2763
01:46:29,500 --> 01:46:29,958
North America
2764
01:46:30,041 --> 01:46:31,375
So it's kind of a
2765
01:46:31,375 --> 01:46:32,000
cool thing to
2766
01:46:32,000 --> 01:46:32,666
hear people
2767
01:46:33,666 --> 01:46:34,958
You know travel
2768
01:46:34,958 --> 01:46:35,833
and work there
2769
01:46:35,833 --> 01:46:36,458
and then even
2770
01:46:36,458 --> 01:46:37,125
move there. I
2771
01:46:37,125 --> 01:46:37,666
think it's it's
2772
01:46:37,666 --> 01:46:38,125
kind of a cool
2773
01:46:38,125 --> 01:46:38,458
thing. It's
2774
01:46:38,458 --> 01:46:38,625
definitely
2775
01:46:38,625 --> 01:46:39,458
opened my eyes
2776
01:46:39,458 --> 01:46:40,416
Well, I say it's different. It's
2777
01:46:40,416 --> 01:46:41,083
different. Can it
2778
01:46:41,083 --> 01:46:42,250
give yeah
2779
01:46:42,250 --> 01:46:42,625
Well, it's
2780
01:46:42,625 --> 01:46:42,916
definitely
2781
01:46:42,916 --> 01:46:43,291
different if
2782
01:46:43,291 --> 01:46:43,750
you're going on a
2783
01:46:43,750 --> 01:46:44,541
safari there for
2784
01:46:44,541 --> 01:46:45,208
a week or two
2785
01:46:45,208 --> 01:46:45,833
couple of weeks
2786
01:46:45,833 --> 01:46:46,500
That's one thing
2787
01:46:46,500 --> 01:46:47,125
but when you're
2788
01:46:47,125 --> 01:46:47,458
going there to
2789
01:46:47,458 --> 01:46:48,000
live there,
2790
01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:49,166
that's a whole
2791
01:46:49,166 --> 01:46:49,875
different kettle
2792
01:46:49,875 --> 01:46:51,625
of fish there and
2793
01:46:52,333 --> 01:46:53,333
It's great. I
2794
01:46:53,333 --> 01:46:53,666
mean you
2795
01:46:53,666 --> 01:46:54,250
definitely if you
2796
01:46:54,250 --> 01:46:55,000
if you're if
2797
01:46:55,000 --> 01:46:55,500
you're that kind
2798
01:46:55,500 --> 01:46:56,208
of an adventure
2799
01:46:56,208 --> 01:46:56,833
explorer
2800
01:46:56,833 --> 01:46:57,708
type of person
2801
01:46:57,791 --> 01:46:58,708
it's to be able
2802
01:46:58,708 --> 01:46:59,083
to move to
2803
01:46:59,083 --> 01:46:59,625
another country
2804
01:46:59,625 --> 01:47:00,416
like that, it's
2805
01:47:00,416 --> 01:47:00,916
it's pretty
2806
01:47:00,916 --> 01:47:02,375
impressive and
2807
01:47:03,375 --> 01:47:04,125
