For 18 minutes I forgot about all the negative things happening in the world and just felt waves of happiness washing over me. So beautiful, thank you guys. That was such an authentic and delicious looking lunch you guys made and enjoyed together. Your friend Nacho made me smile as he embarked on such an adventure barefoot 😄A man of the soil. Love and light to you all 💝
Whenever i receive notification for your video, I just pause everything that I was doing and watch your video. Someone here said that watching your videos is like a pause to the real world - which is true, it's like my escape to the city life and all my worries dissapear when i watch your video
The ginger flower is called Bunga Kantan in Singapore and Malaysia, it is truly a beautiful fragrance and delicious in food, in English is called Torch ginger flower, it’s my favourite. Your dogs are so cute and so lucky to be free on such a lovely island. Thanks for another lovely video, I enjoy it so much! ❤
Aahh so interesting! It’s my absolute favorite too! I like to put it in all sorts of dishes ☺️ Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment!
Thank you for sharing your lives and unique part of the world. I have known several people who have lived in Indonesia over the years, but your videos have prompted me to become even more interested in learning about the people and culture.
The island is much more "forested" than I thought. It's so BEAUTIFUL❣ I love the refreshing waterfall shower at the end. Always love your life and videos💕❤🌴 Thank you
Yes it is right?! Many people who have visited the islands many times don’t realize that there still is rainforest here. It’s not only beaches and palmtrees ☺️
Just found your channel from an off grid channel so jumped over and subbed straight away I’m over in Australia and have learnt to appreciate the simple things in life like food , water , electricity and even a shower. I heard off shore in my sailing kayak with minimal stuff sailing island to island Look forward to jumping into some of your videos
Hele leuke aflevering van geweldige mensen op zo mooi eiland,ver weg van het haasten en jachten,regels en nog meer regels,geniet van al het beste dat moeder aarde ons heeft gegeven🙏🏻❤️
Yeeeeey, new episode from Our Island Life!! I am always curious about the local cuisine, I would love an episode about medicinal plants. Thanks for sharing with us, very captivating🙏
Hi to my favorite couple i internet 🖐️as i child i dream living on the Island, off grid, with nature, animals, ocean and then i found you to remember this.. :) ⭐
Thanks for sharing this beautiful piece of..I just can't find the proper words. Because it's beyond beauty, serenity, wisdom, heaven..When we kind to nature, they will give you everything we need. Semoga sehat dan bahagia selalu Marjo 💖 An
Thank you for this opportunity to go on an adventure. I can see why you both love to call this place home. Such a beautiful place. I really really enjoyed this video I was lost in time for a short period of time. Also enjoyed watching you cook the meal. Can you explain the taste of the bread in bamboo or what it may compare to.❤❤
I was enjoying this video sooo much that I didn't realize that I had stopped breathing at some point. Nina and Nacho are so fortunate to have you two as friends and vice versa.
@@OurIslandLife I know that feeling , i still can not stand my own voice on videos or phone but you really have a uniq and charismatic beautiful voice. Also while watching you guys I am learning different things and you are doing that with a smile which makes me feel good , keep smiling
We also eat Sago Starch in the Solomon Islands but haven't tasted the recipe cooked in bamboo, by the look of it, it looks delicious, I'll try it out...
So lovely to see this video! I just got back to Australia and flew over the beautiful Mentawai Islands on the way home, and thought of you guys! Is the little cooking hut on your property or can anyone use it? It is all so beautiful. Wonderful editing too, Marjo ❤
It always makes me happy when you post another video. I am so curious about the taste and texture of the sago. I’ve seen you post it a few times and it reminds me of suman which is a Filipino sticky rice dish that is cooked in banana leaves. But I’m sure it is nothing alike as suman is sweet. I am already looking forward to your next video. I wish you can post more often🤞🏻 Until then, Take care❤️
Amazing video An & Marj! A waterfall on your island!! I was thrilled to watch you foraging for food. Lemongrass, and ginger make your food come alive. I see you have made your tongs. Loved the drone shots. Where are your guests from?
❤hello.very niceplace your choises wth your partner indonese he good man.that support your daily activities likes your Vlogs on the way every where❤👍😎🤔🎯🚴🏻♂️🌐🙏🏾🇵🇭🇵🇭
Marjolein what is your background. I know you are from Belgium but wonder what your profession was. We wonder how you can afford to do the things you do, which is totally lovely!!
I wonder if Marjolein's friends are wondering in bewilderment about why An must walk quite a distance to gather the ingredients, and if they live in that place , what will they do to make live easier and better?

- Where did your friend get her boots she is wearing at 5:02 ? *Please lmk, I NEED THOSE!* 😊 ty in advance.
Those are surf booties from Decathlon ☺️
So lovely to see this video! I just got back to Australia and flew over the beautiful Mentawai Islands on the way home, and thought of you guys! Is the little cooking hut on your property or can anyone use it? It is all so beautiful. Wonderful editing too, Marjo ❤
Oh no way! There are only about 2 planes that fly over us every day. We often even hear it, that's how quiet it is here haha 💕
It always makes me happy when you post another video. I am so curious about the taste and texture of the sago. I’ve seen you post it a few times and it reminds me of suman which is a Filipino sticky rice dish that is cooked in banana leaves. But I’m sure it is nothing alike as suman is sweet. I am already looking forward to your next video. I wish you can post more often🤞🏻 Until then, Take care❤️
Ooh suman sounds yummy too! But yes, sagu isn’t sweet. I always compare the taste to a sourdough bread of sorts.
Amazing video An & Marj! A waterfall on your island!! I was thrilled to watch you foraging for food. Lemongrass, and ginger make your food come alive. I see you have made your tongs. Loved the drone shots. Where are your guests from?
Yes!! ☺️ Nina and Nacho are from France and Spain.
Hi Marjo, can you show us how your daily life has changed now that you have some gadgets? Also you're doing a good job with the videos
Yes! Maybe something to work into one of our next videos!
Man I can’t wait to do this down in Belize next year
🤩🥳
Cool Buzz
Marjolein I think ima name my daughter after you such a beautiful name!
Ooohh wow! That’s one of the nicest compliments I’ve ever gotten! 🫶🏼
@Ourislandlife we have that Sagu also here in the Philippines we called that also "sagu or ukaw"
Aah interesting! And do people eat it too?

Thank you!! 🙏🏼☺️
normal life in asia, we also look for fruit in the forest...
Beautiful video❤ where is the other doggo?
Kela was out and about on his own when we left so he missed out on the walk. He was home when we got back so no worries 😉☺️
No, no, you are too quiet 😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Hope you are all okay!!!!
Yes no worries! New video coming today ☺️
Wow.....
☺️☺️
Marjolein what is your background. I know you are from Belgium but wonder what your profession was. We wonder how you can afford to do the things you do, which is totally lovely!!
Hi Janice! I was working in tourism before this :)
Pupalik kam eirakku enunganmui 😀
Oo.. 😜
Beautiful memories! I do have a question: do you ever encounter snakes?
Sometimes yes. Not very often and usually mostly in our chicken house as they come to eat the eggs or the baby chickens.
"Smells Like God ?" 😊 thank you for Sharing.
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching!
Love this video,how do you film the high shots do u have a drone or climb a tree
Our friend Nacho filmed with his drone 🥰 but we also got our own drone recently ☺️
@@OurIslandLife thank you can’t get enough of your videos so great
Thought I saw a bunch of banana trees - do you have them near your house too?
Yes we planted a few right next to our house and we already have fruits on them 🤩
Lovely authentic video. Can you please let me know what leaf is your husband burning for mosquitos?
It’s a part from the coconut tree where the coconut grow which falls down and it burns very easy. The smoke keeps the mosquitoes away ☺️
Mantap
🙏🏼☺️
Leuke video! Waar was de andere hond?
Dankjewel! Kela was al op zichzelf ergens gaan wandelen ennwas dus niet thuis toen we vertrokken 😅
How many miles was that hike?
Interesting, do the locals make pottery?
No they don’t. It’s not know at all here. Though there is clay around :)
I wonder if Marjolein's friends are wondering in bewilderment about why An must walk quite a distance to gather the ingredients, and if they live in that place , what will they do to make live easier and better?
It's good those cigarettes don't grow in the forest 🙃
0:05 His name means very bad in my language 😂😂😂
Ohh no haha. What language is that?
Did your friend’s like the food?
Yes!!
