The popularity of remote work has risen post-pandemic, prompting many to seek unconventional living situations. A couple, Marjolein and An, have taken this to heart by residing on a remote island in Indonesia's Mentawai Islands. This idyllic island life offers advantages like independence and the freedom to surf and swim whenever. However, Marjolein candidly shares the challenges, such as limited cell phone service, impacting their ability to communicate with loved ones on the mainland. Despite these obstacles, the couple finds fulfillment in their unique lifestyle choice.
To actually order stuff from the mainland, we have to drive out with our small boat, find some better signal, try and send the order out.
What I love most about living here is the sense of independence. We can provide our own electricity, our own water, our own food and that's pretty cool.
