  • In today's vlog we tell the story of our life on Koh Lanta, a tropical island in the South of Thailand that attracts many tourists in high season.
    At the moment, it is low season time and it is time for us to work on the things we love; Mon is doing his duck and chicken farm, and Maayan is creating content for UA-cam.
    In the meantime we are also running our guesthouse Green Pepper and renovating our house! Join us for this vibrant and entertaining vlog and follow the stories of the people around us, like Min Khant (Lucas), who escaped from Myanmar with his mother and younger brother because he prefers to draw flowers than fight against his own people, or the story of Hedi and Margo, who needed a break from France and are now trying a new, calmer life on Koh Lanta.

    Maayan, this was so much fun!! I love all the interesting people you included... the painter is so sweet and talented. Your new acquaintances from France, I wonder how they settle into a new life there. Let's see.. I believe you speak English, Thai, Israeli and Dutch? I find that amazing! You both look slimmer from your 30 day challenge. I am so happy that Mon found a way to keep his farm. I identify with him because I dedicate many hours every day to tend to my small flock of Silky chickens. It has grown to almost 40 and boy do they keep me busy. I'm excited to watch the renovations at your home. Thanks for this fun and interesting visit. Sending love and hugs from Tucson, Arizona.🌵

    I'm loving the lifestyle you two are living. Your diet caught my attention though. No sugar? No carbs? I think that works to a certain point, but it's not a sustainable method for the long term. Going on a diet you hate because it eliminates the foods you like is often the reason why many give up and binge. Carbs and sugar aren't the enemy. Try cutting down on both instead of eliminating it. That's a better method. It works for me.
    Also, keep in mind that losing body fat doesn't always mean you're going to weigh less. There are plenty of fit women with a body fat percentage around 16 - 22, and they weigh nearly the same as some women with higher body fat. Natacha Oceane is a great example.
