Our days on Gili Air were a rollercoaster of emotions—from pure joy to unexpected tension. We’d love to share our adventure with you! ✨🚤

We took a ferry from Gili T to Gili Air, a short 10-minute trip. Gili Air is smaller and quieter, filled with snorkelers and cyclists. 🚴‍♀️🐠 We rented bikes again and stayed in a charming homestay just minutes from the harbor. Our days were spent snorkeling, discovering cozy warungs, and taking part in a special silver workshop—where we made rings for each other! 💍

The main drone photo captured a perfect moment: bright blue skies and crystal-clear water. 📸🌞 But then, the weather suddenly changed. Strong winds, nonstop rain, and even fallen trees completely shifted the atmosphere. 🌧️🌬️ The last few days, we were left without electricity, without water (since the pump was electric), and without phone service. Quite the challenge, especially since we had to leave the island to catch our flight. ✈️

With no fast boats running, our only option was a long journey: Gili Air – Lombok – Padang Bai, Bali. What should have taken 2 hours ended up being a 12-hour trip. ⏳ But hey, what’s an adventure without unexpected twists? Along the way, we met incredible fellow travelers, making the experience even more special. 🌍🤝

Our time on Gili Air reminded us of that more than ever. Despite everything, we’ll never forget this adventure. We’re safe, we’re together—and in the end, that’s all that really matters. ❤️

Have you ever had a moment that made you realize how dependent we are on modern conveniences? 🤔💡

✨ From Newcastle to Bali… and a nightmare ferry to Gili T! ✨
Our journey started with flights from Newcastle → Melbourne → Denpasar, and from Bali, we took the ferry to Gili Trawangan. Sounds dreamy, right? Well, that boat ride was anything but! 🌊😵‍💫 Huge waves, seasick passengers, and pure panic on board. But hey, once we arrived, we forgot all about it!

🌴 The vibe here? Absolutely amazing. The locals are super friendly and always up for a chat. Even though Gili T is small, there’s plenty to do – from snorkeling to beach bars and sunset yoga sessions.

🚴‍♂️ No cars or scooters! On Gili T, you get around by bicycle or horse-drawn carts. But honestly? We were shocked to see how hard the horses have to work. 🐎💔 So, we visited the rescue center, where sick horses are cared for, and locals can get medicine and education on animal welfare. They claim the horses work a maximum of 4-5 hours daily. Whether that’s true, we’re not sure. But we’re sticking to bikes!

💡 Facts about Gili T: 📢 The call to prayer (Adhan) is heard five times a day – most locals are Muslim. 🐱 No dogs on the island, only cats! They’re considered pure and can chill anywhere they like. ⛴️ Most workers come from Lombok and commute daily or return home a few times a month. 🚲 The island is so small you can cycle around it in just an hour!

Gili T, you are chaotic, beautiful, and full of surprises. 💙✨

Hey everyone! As always, we’re a bit late with a new update, but better late than never, right? 😉 We’re currently on Gili T, but before we dive into that, we’d love to take you back to our Australian adventure!
Our weeks in Australia were – as always – amazing. We enjoyed caravan life at Bai’s dad’s place in Byron Bay, visited Bai’s grandma in Nambucca, and took a trip to Sydney.

As some of you may know, Bai has his Dutch citizenship, and now we’re hoping to arrange the same for me in Australia. The plan is to apply for it from the Netherlands, and then stay in Australia for a longer period. Exciting times ahead! But for now, we’re fully enjoying Indonesia – more on that soon! 🌴✨

Could you live here? 🏡✨
We just had to get the drone out for this one! Right now, we’re staying in our caravan, surrounded by chickens, cows, cats, and dogs 🐓🐄🐕. The views? Absolutely magical—though let’s be honest, the photos don’t even come close to doing them justice.

Hey everyone! 👋 Can you believe it’s already

Hey everyone! 👋 Can you believe it’s already been 20 days since we arrived in Australia? 🇦🇺 Time is flying! The first few weeks, we stayed with Bai’s mom and her adorable little dogs. 🐶 We celebrated Christmas and New Year together, tried a pottery class (a bit messy but so fun! 🎨), and enjoyed lots of delicious breakfasts and lunches. 🍳🥑

Now we’re near Byron, where Bai’s dad lives, and we’re loving life in our little caravan! 🚐 “Life on Wheels” is pretty amazing. We’ve also started a morning workout routine (feeling good 💪) and have some exciting plans for the future… but more on that soon! 😉

Have you ever stayed in a caravan? What’s your favourite part about it? Let us know in the comments! ⬇️

It’s always tricky to sum up an entire year in a

It’s always tricky to sum up an entire year in a nutshell, but here we go! It’s been an exciting, challenging, stressful, and above all, adventurous year for us. In some ways, we’ve found a bit of balance... and in other ways, not so much. 😅 We’ve been working as campsite hosts and kitchen staff this season, while also traveling around the world. However, we’re starting to feel the need for a home base—a place we can come back to, instead of relying on our backpack or camper. 🇦🇺🇳🇱 Maybe a spot in both Australia and the Netherlands?

Bai is now officially a Dutch citizen 🇳🇱, and who knows, maybe it’s time for Den to get Australian citizenship too? 🤔 Either way, it’s going to be a special New Year, full of new goals, dreams, and maybe even some extra passports! ✨

Here’s a quick recap of our highlights:
* After all the courses and the ceremony, Bai got his naturalization and is now officially Dutch AND Australian! What a champ! 💪
* Bai and I have a registered partnership – yep, we’ve been a bit quiet about it, but it was a very personal moment for us. Hopefully, we can do a “do-over” with the whole family in the future! 💍👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
* We had an amazing time working as campsite hosts in Limburg for a long season. It was a season full of challenges, some stress, but mostly tons of fun and great memories. 🏕️❤️
* And most importantly, we had precious quality time with family in both the Netherlands and Australia! Those moments are priceless. 🌏💕

We can’t wait to see what the new year brings! 🥂 What are your plans for the new year? 😊
