Is this what ISLAND LIFE is all about? | Real Off-Grid Living on a Remote Island in Indonesia 

Good morning I think I been watching your RU-vid channel for couple hours ever since I saw your RU-vid today. I really like it.😊

I came across your channel today and absolutely love watching it. I am from Windhoek Namibia, leaving in the capital city. Me and my Husband farm on the outskirts of Windhoek and go to the farm every weekend. I can relate to your lifestyle. Keep well

I watched your video on another channel and this has really inspired me. Im from Fiji and our family owns a large piece of land by the beach on an island in the yasawa group. We had plans to built our 2nd home there since we all live in the city on the mainland. I dont know what to do, but eversince i started watching your videos, im getting it. Thank you.

New subscribers.. I never been in this island, but I am a frequently visitor and big fan of Bali.

OMG, this is refreshing, Indonesia looks like the most wonderful and peaceful place to be. I am sure there are a lot of obstacles to overcome but i will love to try. I recently visited Thailand and went to a couple places that looks like that. That life appeals to me. Please enjoy it for me also.

I can relate so well with your love for coffee! I live in a remote village in Romania and I always say that the best moment of the day is coffee time, it just makes my life better 😍

Hi Marjolein , came across your channel , love it so much , it's so refreshing to see you and your husband live free .It is really relaxing to watch after coming home from working in a concrete Jungle .Thanks for sharing . Which country are you from? I am sure you get asked this question a lot , but can someone from Australia , buy some land there too and live like you guys ??

I just came across your channel and I want to tell you how much I love your content !!! 😊 Keep doing what you are doing!!! . I would love to see more content on how you prepare the dishes you cook ………(maybe when your new kitchen is finished)👍🏻Good luck to you both 😊🌺

Hey, love your videos. Have you thought about salting the fish like the Portuguese cod fish? I have no idea how it’s done 😅 but I know I even transferred on the plane to bring some to my parents (I live in Portugal and they’re in Bulgaria). After that you put it in water for 48 hours and it’s ready to cook (you need to change the water often though).

Paradise 🏝

Coconuts look great , You make delicious food. It looks like that from Antalya 👍

Enjoying❤️

Hello! Just found your channel. I love content this ,and i LOVE to see how you cook ! Much love

I’ve just come across your channel and I’m binge watching all your videos and I LOVE your channel!

Your type life, remember me my old days. My family stay in the wooden house no electricity n pipe water . I love the old days more peaceful.

Hi… here from PR. I just got to your channel I love what you guys are doing… simple and peaceful! Beautiful island beautiful life. I can relate so much I have always wanted to be really far from anything that doesn’t bring me peace… which after 30ish years in PA. Working like a mad woman… the city chaos… people… high taxes… bills 😅. I got to come back to the island of PR. Got me a pice of country “ property and I love it. I’m so in touch with nature that I don’t miss any human. Blessings ❤

I also came across one video and have been watching them all!

I just came across your channel and have been watching your videos .I envy your independent life! Very beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

I’m so pleased I found your Chanel. I am from New Zealand and find your life on the island so interesting

Surfing on your doorstep!!! Amazing!

OMG love your video sending love from flores Indonesia

New subscriber here from the Philippines!!! Thank you for sharing these videos. I love your cooking videos btw, its so interesting to see local dishes from the Island. Sending Virtual hugs to you guys!!

Like your house❤

I never get bored with anything from your video, I'm always waiting for it. So happy to know that you and your husband are OK there, supporting and caring each other. That's a true love ❤💖

I can’t wait to set up a smoker in Belize! My first experience with taro didn’t go well. I didn’t know Grant wasn’t finished cooking it and decided to try it when he wasn’t looking. 😳 I spit it back out in a hurry! 😂 Love watching you guys ❤

I've liked that type of life! In the western world, we're suffering from bills and lack of physical fitness which you guys get in bulk✌

i love visit you in future on my vacation .. from Canada..

What a beautiful way to live. I'm so envious

Hello... enjoying your videos very much. Thanks for sharing and taking us along your daily chores & adventures. Some of the names for the berries you collected are: -Turkey Berry -Pea Eggplant Seed -Solanum Torvum -Jamaican Susumber -Gully bean Continued Blessings 🕊🌿🤍

Just came across your channel and now i m on fourth video.

Fantastic life. You are far more capable than I; your videos are very interesting to learn about minimalism

Beautiful place, congratulations for both of you guys…

Please make longer video, i love your vlog so much..

❤❤❤

Love your vlogs! Peaceful. Calming. Satisfying. Interesting.

Wow, you guys are living the dream of many people! I found you on 'Exploring Alternatives'. And what alternative this is! What a blessing to not have Big Brother following you by 4, 5, and 6G or by all the camera's!! I life completely private! Great to find out that it is still possible on our planet! But... Without An it would not be possible l think...? You need local knowledge of all there is out there. On land. In the ocean. The language. The weather. Are you -as a Belgium- being 'adopted' by the locals? Many questions arise here on my side. So you guys have a new subscriber and l'll have a look into your posted videos and see if my questions find answers. 😉

Heaven ❤❤❤❤

So good that you went for a surf. Nothing beats dancing on the waves while the sun is going down. Just went to check the waves here on Bali and it looked pretty much flat 😵‍💫

My two favorite times of day. The moment I get in bed and my first sip of coffee. Nothing comes close.

Wow...

I really enjoy seeing your beautiful life. Please can you tell me how A learned so many carpentry skills, everything he builds is beautiful? Please can you tell me how you both learned to surf.

Just discovered your channel. I love the content. I'm really curious to know how you met your husband and decided to move to Indonesia.

I have been binge-watching your videos since I discovered them last night. I woke up this morning and continued from where I stopped 😊. I can't wait for new videos and updates on your island life. Also looking forward to one day trying out that curry you make with coconut milk. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. Your courage, strength, and tenacity are admirable. Your videos are made with so much love for your lifestyle which is a lot similar to what we have in our rural areas here, minus the island. Greetings from your new subscriber from Nigeria. Much love 💕

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

New subscriber watching from Phillipines in.

Can you show the varieties of taro growing on your island

Mantap.

Mantap tinggal di pulau yg damai

I just saw you on exploring Alternatives - Your life looks great, I want to check out Indonesia and Spearfish and live off the land a little for 2 weeks this year. Any recommendations that are not as touristic but still somewhat in civilization?

Fell upon your RU-vid channel and like your vlogs. I’m wondering if your island was affected by the tsunami in 2004?

I might enjoy it if there isn't a lot of stinging biting insects? Smoked fish sounds delicious. Life requires a lot of daily survival effort, and these chores can be enjoyable if you have your youth and the skills... but old people like me have to just sit back and watch on U tube since a hard life has shattered our bodies...

My god! Jealous of the your own home made ikan salai...

❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤😊

Did you have any idea about the life you would be living on this island before you moved here?

I don't speak Ilokano, but I keep hearing words like ikan. I think it means fish.

I missed seeing what you do with the taro balls. Do you cook them or do you eat them just as they are?

How you guys survive in the island? Do you work anywhere in the island?

But where is Wilson? 😁

You guys are amazing !

I come across ur channel and instanly subscribe cause I love how calming and comforting ur daily life videos. If u dont mind, may u made a QnA videos about how ur life before, how u guys met and how u come into Indonesia, I'm really curious about it especially when u live & raised in big city on western world, this kind of life felt really different & out of our reach. Tysm.

Hi marjolein mohon maaf saya berbahasa Indonesia, sebab saya tidak lancar bahasa Inggris.. Suka dengan chanel ini, sederhana dan bahagia. Saya dari Aceh , Sumatra, Indonesia. kita sama2 suka minum kopi di pagi hari..oh ya kata orang kopi Gayo enak, jika saya ingin mengirimkan anda hadiah kopi, ke mana harus saya kirim?😊

Hello, love you channel have enjoyed binge watching! May I ask how you pay for your lifestyle since you don't work, is it a lifetime of savings you are living off? Xx

Hi Marjolein, one of your videos popped up on my RU-vid feed today, I really enjoy watching your videos and subscribed immediately. I travelled a lot in Asia and really love Indonesia. I once stayed on one of the Banyak islands for 3 weeks so I can relate a bit to your videos. I really admire your ability to live there! Looking forward to watch more videos. Good luck with your channel!

Great to see what and how you cook there. And you just get the lemongrass right next door, awesome! No shortage of flavorful ingredients there! 😋 Found it so touching how An reacted during your explanation to the viewers on how to break a coconut. 😊And he ended with a compliment too. 😁

Where did you get the animals?
