We Found a Magical island In Indonesia To Build Our Home (And It Changed Everything)
We left the city behind to search for land on Sumba Island, Indonesia—a place to build our dream off grid house, embrace homesteading, and reconnect with off the grid living. This chapter shows our journey exploring Sumba's wild landscapes and taking the first steps toward building a house that feels grounded, intentional, and true. If you've ever dreamed of finding land, starting over, or island living in Indonesia, this is where the search begins.

We left the city 5 years ago to find a place we could call home. Now we're documenting every step of building our dream off grid home on Sumba Island, Indonesia—from finding land and navigating budgets to learning the unwritten rules of homesteading in a remote paradise. No shortcuts, no blueprint, just two people figuring out off the grid living as we go.
This channel is the complete journey: cabin build progress, budget breakdowns, material choices, cultural insights, and the reality of building a house in one of Indonesia's most remote locations.
