Thank you for what you share. I enjoy watching while I paint. There is snow on the ground here so not much foraging for me until a couple more months. I love watching y'all find food from the land 🌎

It’s so cool you paint while watching our videos! 🤩

This becomes my favourite channel. This reminds me of the famous movie "The blue lagoon" and "Return to the blue lagoon" in 90's-2000. Stared by Brook Shield / Milla Jovovich 😍😎

[@blesildabolden6247]

I’m a new subscriber and I love your videos. Some of it reminds me so much of growing up in the Philippines. In our coconut farm with no electricity and running water..we live by the fresh water river we will go swimming everyday in the summer and we also slept with mosquito net. When I retire I would like to build a house in our coconut farm where I grow up. Thank you for sharing your life on the island blessed to you and An and your pets.❤

[@lolarose102]

It might be a bit more informative if you tell us what you are getting; name the fruit or vegetable and what you all do with it to cook it. That would be very interesting. Thank you for sharing your life wth us.

[@OurIslandLife]

Yes good idea!! Thank you for watching!

[@Montecisco]

do you have termites?

[@walrusclimbing]

Nice canoe!! Does the land with the bananas belong te someone and do you buy the stuff, or not?

[@OurIslandLife]

Yes, the banana garden is owned by someone from An’s mom’s side of the family, he told us that if we need bananas, just go and take some, we don’t have to buy them ☺️ he usually harvests them himself every few months to sell them for export to the mainland.

Curious what each of your repective parents think about your relationship, as everything says how can it work. I guess surfing and love is a potent mix.
