    I watch your videos whenever I have time, Marin.
    My English level is a little low, but I'm trying to understand you.
    Marin, you are experiencing a change of life and I hope you inspire people with your life.

    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.❤

    • @OurIslandLife
      @OurIslandLife  11 месяцев назад +3

      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.
