Welcome! We are Marjolein and Adrianus aka Marjo and An. We live off-grid on a remote tropical island in the Mentawai Islands, Indonesia.

Follow along as we capture and share daily life on the island, spearfish for our sustenance, surf pristine waves and build our off-grid home.

Join us on our extraordinary journey as we embrace a simple - but not easy - life on a remote tropical island.

Finally reunited 🥰
For our first video of the year, we’re planning on doing a 2024 recap and a 2025 life update. Most of you weren’t here a year ago (shout out to those who were 🫶🏼) and so many things happened so we’re looking forward to throwing it back to the start of last year and looking forward to what the new year has in store for us.
So, any burning questions you have for us? Anything you’d like to see included in the video? Let us know down below 👇🏼

Much love,

An & Marjo

Our second video of June is a special one and a bit different from our usual content. It's Marjolein's birthday and our channel's one-year anniversary this week! To celebrate, we've created this unique video, shot entirely on Super 8 by our friend Iñigo Grasset.

We hope you'll enjoy this special glimpse into our lives!

What a crazy few weeks it has been!
Firstly, welcome to all our new subscribers on here! To all of you, new and older subs, we are so happy and thankful to you for following along with our adventures.
Secondly, we now have 24/7 electricity! 🤩🤯
It still feels unreal! We keep forgetting we have it and we keep on using our torches inside in stead of just switching on the lights 😅🫣

If you’re curious about our solar installation, go have a look at our latest video!
