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.



Our Island Life

Anai leu ita YouTube fam!
As you saw in our last video, we’re back on the island 🏝️ life is different now but we hope to keep on bringing you the island life videos you love. But before we dive into those, we thought it could be fun to film a little Q&A first.

So, we’d love to hear your questions/thoughts about island life with a baby, off-grid living, our house, our day-to-day life. Or anything else you’re curious about 👀 Drop them down below and we’ll chat soon!

Anai leu ita! Hope you’ve had a good start to the new year ✨
We certainly have but life has been busy as we’re taking care of a new born and preparing everything to head back to the island next month.
So the second video of January will be a bit later than usual 🫣
Thank you for being here and following along and see you in our next video (trying our best to finish it by the weekend).

Lots of love,

An, Marjolein & Ami

Ps: You’d help us a lot by watching some of our older videos in the meantime 😉🫶🏼

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!
