I'm sorry for the loss of your mom.. for me it's the hardest thing I've ever been through. There is no one that cares for us like our mother's ❤️ Her name was Margo.. how cool is that 😊 I love you guys videos. So interesting
So sorry to hear about your mom. I know how it feels to lose a parent and it’s so hard especially around the holidays. Thank you so much for sharing your Belgium adventure and can’t wait for more. Be safe. Take care❤❤
I’m sorry to hear about your mom. I get that feeling of it being bitter sweet being back home. I was home in October for the first time after I had been there for my mom’s death in June. It was definitely challenging but also felt good in a way to be closer to where she lived. Enjoy your time in Belgium! Indeed, life is short! Gotta take those trips and spend with people when we can. Bummer your hubby couldn’t be there. Hopefully in the future it will be easier! ❤ sending love from Cali!
Very nice video. Thank you! I'm so sorry you've lost your mom. I also have myself. Go ahead and feel sad when you're there and feel her absence. In time, you'll start to feel her closer to you, her presence, and it will still feel sad but it will also feel comforting and good to feel her still there close to you. Yes, the holidays are the worst, and I also find that each time I feel the seasons change I feel the absence of both my parents. Enjoy your time with your Belgium friends and family, and thank you for sharing some of that joy with us.
My condolences on the loss of your Mom- my Mom died 4 years ago this November and the holidays are still kinda hard without her. Thanks for your generosity & vulnerability sharing your life with us… Bless you & your hubby An and happy New Year 🎊
My dad passed this past October and I still find it difficult to visit my mum each week, and not see him there. It's just so strange to me that he is no longer with us physically. It's heartwarming that you get to spend time with your friends and family in Europe. May you all continue to build beautiful memories together.
Marjolein, I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. I'm as equally sorry that An could not be there as your support, as I know your family home brings back many memories. Your face lit up as you engaged with your friend. Thankful she was there for you. Enjoy your time back home. If you can't post videos, no worries, I'll review the old ones as @jingjingquinones commented. An, you are now the proud owner of a "man cave" for a few weeks. LOL!
Ohhh, I'm so sorry you mom is gone. But such a blessing to have your Dad still. I'm sure he's very happy for you, but also must miss you terribly as well. It must mean the world to hime when you come home to visit. I hope he's able to travel to your home on the island as well! Aren't dear old girlfriends the BEST?! There's nothing like spending time with a dear friend who's known you your whole life. Thanks for introducing her to us. Dinner looked wonderful. Safe, happy, peaceful travels!
Wonend in Thailand apprecieer ik de koude, wandelen en fietsen in de frisse lucht, kaas, wijn, en gesprekken met vrienden. In België mis ik de uitgestrekte natuur van de jungle, de immense stranden, ijskoffie uit de seven eleven, de stilte en het zorgeloze leven. Ik kijk er toch jaarlijks enorm naar uit om huiswaarts te gaan.
Thank you for showing us around your city. It's cool to see you in this setting and still making your delicious looking coffee! I'm sorry about your Mom❤
I loved this vlog..its amazing that you were born and raised in Belgium and now live in the Mentawais ..also I was a bit worried about you walking by yourself in that bush..and then I got teary hearing about your Mum..I think you are a gentle soul and love watching your Vlogs..Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Great seeing you. Happy, happy new year. It is always so good hearing your voice and watching your channel. I am a Jamaican living in Florida USA. I have lived in other parts of the USA that snows ❄️🌨️. I tey to embrace both. I do miss my home. Wherever you are born and raised is your roots. It lives on inside you. Hence, we can never leave it behind. And we are able to embrace other other cultures/roots as well. For example, your husband's. You will always need and miss one when you are with the other ♥️♥️.
So sorry to hear the loss of your Mom. My mother also died when I was 3 months old and I'm so thankful to God that my father & my siblings were my mother figures. I also feel elated whever I see a new video of yours, if not, I review the old ones. I never get bored watching your experiences especially in the island. I'm from the Philippines (and now in Texas, USA) and we recently visited there and so good to see my roots. So glad you visited your place too. Have a safe travel back to Indonesia. Take care . . .
Hello and greetings from Wisconsin, United States. Such a lovely home there in Belgium. Your footage in front of the fire and dinner with your friend was so cozy and heartwarming. You have amazing balance to stand while putting on shoes! Have a wonderful visit in your homeland with good memories of your mother ❤️
I’m so sorry you lost your mom. I lost my mom when I was 14. It leaves a void in your life for sure. I just turned 70 in Sept. Happy New Years! Love from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
Jealous of your mad shoe skills. I would have fallen on my ass if I tried to stand and put them on LOL! Thank you for showing us some of Belgium. I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip!
Totally different than your husband land right. Wow, your house is totally different too. Wow! Beautiful country, I hope you go back soon with your husband. He will miss you 😢
A beautiful emotional video. Thank you for sharing your life with us and I miss seeing your husband. I hope he is well and staying with his family as well. Much love to you.
Wow thanks for sharing so brave!🫶To see back the house inside brings beautiful memories...but also some tears!😢 She will be always in our 💛! Please do greetings from us to your father! Since we moved also to another place more by the nature🌳 Warm hug😘😘
Really enjoy watching you back home in Belgium. Yr country and your house are so lovely. Who would ever imagine that you wld end up marrying someone so far away in Indonesia. I prefer Belgium to Indonesia as I am a creature of comfort and i can't do without modern conveniences like shopping mall, supermarkets and restaurants, etc.
You must hve loved An a lot to make such a big sacrifice in uprooting yourself frm yr family n friends to be with him. Now that yr mum is gone, who's looking aft yr dad? I don't see any other family members in your house when you're filming the video.
Pls do/ film a video of your sister $ your father & yourself in Paris. Little clips of the places you all visit and a restaurant meal, or a bakery visit. Please & Thank you! ❤
Wow, I'm so used to seeing you on the island and it's such a big difference in lifestyle that it seems like you're back in the matrix when I see you in the supermarket.😅 Sorry for the loss of your mother, have a nice time in Belgium!
Must be hard without your mum there.I hope I dont have as much trouble when I take my Indonesian husband back to Australia for a visit.He has never been.I hope you have a wonderful 2025.Enjoy your time in Belgium.
Very nice video ! Reminds me of Sweden. Hope you had a great Christmas and trip to France. Belgian famous chocolate ! Nice gift for An ❤❤ Wish You and An a great 2025 🥳🥳
My boyfriend is from Bangladesh and can’t get visa to Indonesia or America either .. I am here in Thailand where he study but can’t stay for ever. It is literally a turning point for me to give up
How about Christmas market in Belgium ? May be you would like make some video about it ? If An came with you, I think you would be happier. Merry Christmas 2024 and and coming soon ; happy new year 2025. May you & An be blessed all year long. 🙏🏻🌟🎆🎇🎁
Maaf keluar topik. Di Belgia setahu saya ada terdapat 3 bahasa, Deutsche dutch & France. Hanya mau tanya apa bahasa yang kakak gunakan dari kecil pada saat di Belgia.
I'm very angry that thousands of people can enter the UK illegally, and be put up in great accommodation and paid while they're here. Yet An can't accompany his wife on a holiday without jumping through ridiculous hoops. I'm so sad for you that not only are you missing your Mam but your husband too. I hope you still manage to have a fab break with your family and friends. Happy new year!
I want to move out there and set up my life I’m 57 single and I have a little dog 🐕, how do I reach out to get in touch with you ? Maybe you can help me find some land ?
The adventures that occur in your life are very interesting. I'm a fan of those adventures.
I'm sorry for the loss of your mom.. for me it's the hardest thing I've ever been through. There is no one that cares for us like our mother's ❤️ Her name was Margo.. how cool is that 😊 I love you guys videos. So interesting

My boyfriend is from Bangladesh and can’t get visa to Indonesia or America either .. I am here in Thailand where he study but can’t stay for ever. It is literally a turning point for me to give up
Aah so sorry to hear that 😌 it blows my mind sometimes how different and difficult the rules are just because one happens to be born somewhere else.
R.I.P 😢
How about Christmas market in Belgium ? May be you would like make some video about it ? If An came with you, I think you would be happier. Merry Christmas 2024 and and coming soon ; happy new year 2025. May you & An be blessed all year long. 🙏🏻🌟🎆🎇🎁
I was thinking about you in Belgium and An at home when I got my t-shirt on Christmas Eve. Thank you for sharing your visit with us.
Ooohh amazing! 🤩
😍
Maaf keluar topik. Di Belgia setahu saya ada terdapat 3 bahasa, Deutsche dutch & France. Hanya mau tanya apa bahasa yang kakak gunakan dari kecil pada saat di Belgia.
Thanks for sharing, wishing you the best in 2025
Thanks! Wishing you the best too! 😊
Wish you the best for 2025 & stay warm. De groeten van SoFla.
I'm very angry that thousands of people can enter the UK illegally, and be put up in great accommodation and paid while they're here. Yet An can't accompany his wife on a holiday without jumping through ridiculous hoops. I'm so sad for you that not only are you missing your Mam but your husband too. I hope you still manage to have a fab break with your family and friends. Happy new year!
Yes 😒😏 it’s quite frustrating. But a little distance makes the heart grow fonder right? 😌😉
Do you own that house in Belgium? If so, what do you do while you are away?
Ik begrijp heel goed dat je je vrienden mist. Ondanks dat we computers hebben is fysiek contact beter. Fijne jaarwisseling en al het goeds in 2025.
I want to move out there and set up my life I’m 57 single and I have a little dog 🐕, how do I reach out to get in touch with you ? Maybe you can help me find some land ?
Alvast prettige feesten en een goede gezondheid in 2025/26.....grtz dan( manna)
