Mia, thank you for this. We are expat Americans now living in Porto. My wife's grandmother was Portuguese from Maui. Her family had migrated from Madeira and Galicia in the 1800's. and worked in the sugar industry. She grew up in "Codfish Camp" in Makawao. A great little museum on the history of sugar cane in Maui is the Alexander and Baldwin Sugar Museum. We also enjoy your Good Morning Portugal appearances.

I'm 4th generation Portuguese. I live on Oahu. Teixeira is my maiden name. My great grandparents only spoke Portuguese, so did my grandmother. My grandmothers maiden name is Ferreira. But they never taught us their language. 😔It's such a beautiful language.

As a full fledge Portuguese I didn't even know about our legacy in Hawaii. First x I went to Hawaii and saw Portuguese Chouriço on the MCD's breakfast menu, I almost flipped!🤯 Then I started seeing Fernandes , Silva's and all kinds of Portuguese last names. I was blown away! I looked for Portuguese surnames in the telephone book (remember those?) pages and pages of Portuguese names! The same in Mauii, even in the Big Island I had malasadas! 😱So, so proud of our legacy all over the world, especially Hawaii!❤️🇵🇹 Big hug to all Hawaiian Portuguese!

Aloha e olá mia. My great grandmother was half Hawaiian and half Portuguese and knew some Portuguese. My great grandpa was also Portuguese.my family last names were Matos and goeas. She taught me a few words like Va a dormir, ai meu deus, ai Jesus, em nome do pão do filho e do Espírito Santo amim, mais ficar, and other words/ Fraser’s that I can’t remember. My family also ate bacalhau as well and there are other Portuguese food that are common in the islands. There is a church on O’ahu called Punchbowl Holy Ghost church which was built in the 1880s by the Portuguese immigrants. Now there will be a a Portuguese cultural center that will be built to help us reconnect with our roots. I am currently studying Portuguese because it is a beautiful language and to reconnect and hope to visit Portugal especially Madeira since that is were my family came from. I’m glad you had a wonderful time in Hawaii!

Hi Mia! I am from Hawaii and I'm so thrilled that you were able to visit the place I call home. The Portuguse culture is very much a part of Hawaii's culture. Some of the older population still speak português. I live in Los Angeles now, though, most of my family still remains in Hawaii. So, I may know a little about missing family, too. Thank you for sharing with us all your adventure and I hope when I visit Portugal in December I can find more similarities between the cultures! Puliki a honi(hugs & kisses)

Sou do Havai e vivo a poucas horas da fronteira portuguesa aqui na Galiza, adoro o Porto, é uma cidade maravilhosa. Tenho família que é parte portuguesa e a minha bisavó que é órfã pode ser portuguesa. Monja sobremesa favorita é malassadas .

Hello! I have been watching several of your videos to learn European Portuguese. I have partial Portuguese ancestry from Azores and Guarda. I plan to visit Portugal next year!

Hi Mia, I am portuguese and we vacation to Hawaii every year. When we first went there I couldn't believe that there was portuguese influence there. I love the malasadas lol. Beautiful island of oahu. Love your video. My parents are from Carragal de Sal. They come to visit me in the USA twice a year. If they weren't in their 80's, im sure they would go to Hawaii for the fruit and flowers 🌴🌺

Olà Mia! What a great video! I grew up in Honolulu and currently studying Portuguese. I had to stop your video when you spoke of Malasadas/pao doce to look back at my photos of Leonard’s bakery. Yumm. I also took my girlfriend to Hawaii last month and we definitely want to explore Portugal someday. Thank you for your video!!

I have this Portuguese/Hawaii connection, although a bit unusual. My grandmother's family emigrated from Northern Portugal on the last ship (1912) to send Portuguese to Hawaii. They worked on Maui seven years then went to California.

Im learning Portuguese and speak Hawaiian. My dad is Hawaiian and my mom is Portuguese. Im coming to Portugal in October to help my mom become a Portuguese citizen (then I can be a citizen too). I really like your channel... Mahalo!

Conheci uma Hawaiana 🌺 com ascendência portuguesa, ❤️
Não falava português mas, tinha bem noção das suas ascendências e um carinho enorme por Portugal.

Obrigado pelo vídeo.
