Hi Jean, my name is Threes and a new follower of your channel. I'm interested in joining skillshare, but I need more information for me to find out in details. Could please advise. Thanks.
@@jazz_aficionado6446 hey Jazz I just saw this msg from you, you don’t have to commit to anything at first, if u just click on the link above u will get redirected to one month free trial for skillshare, so u can just try it out first and then cancel the subscription if u don’t like it. It will be completely free if u cancel within 30 days. I hope that clarifies. Or if u have any more questions lemme know!
It's nice to hear that you & your partner retired early & are living a simple life in Indonesia. The lifestyle of spending most of your waking hours working an unfulfilling job to pay your bills is not worth it. I'm glad people are realising this at younger ages. Also your video quality is quite outstanding!
Heya thanks for the kind note I really appreciate the time u took to leave this for us 😄 we just got V a new camera so he’ll b very happy to hear u noticed the quality upgrade lol! Yeah I find the whole hamster wheel cycle of work n bills a dissatisfactory model for life. Happy we cd find a way out but also very blessed we cd. Hope ure not still on the carousel yourself!
I would add this: go to bed early. Helps you get more sleep and get up early more easily. Makes a huge difference for your energy level and helps you have a clear mind. I am a morning person already, but this still helps me feel better.
I often think about making a change similar to what you have done. Your videos are warm, soft-spoken, and calm. I feel that you may have stirred something inside of me that makes me restless now. All my finances are in order so no problems there, but I'm alone. I'm not afraid to travel solo and have often done that many times before in my life. I'm vegan and appreciate your plant-based lifestyle. I'm also American and teach English in Taiwan. I would like to make a lifestyle change similar to yours, but I hesitate because I have no partner to make the change with. I feel comfortable when I'm alone and free, but I feel intense loneliness at the same time. Could you tell me how and when in your transition from corporate to freewheeling did you meet Vitaly? And how is your partnership with him working out in the long run? Cheers
Your so right, especially with the part where you talk about to go either to new places or do or learn something new! Because that keeps us humans developing and progressing in life! We have a German singer ( Herbert Grönemeyer ) And he sang in one of his songs " stillstand is the death" ( literally translated) But when I heard that early in my years, I understood if you think, you can stand still in terms of learning or discovering in life...then you are actually not just standing still, but falling behind..Because others keep moving next to you. Therefore i believe he was right...if you don't continue to mvoe forward in life with new things, ( doesn't matter the speed) but then you kinda die...So you both did...you moved from Singapore and an russian speaking country to Bali to dicover new things..proud of you both !
Great vid thanks for sharing Jean...a year old although the concepts are timeless. Also love the tranquil music and the sunset at the end was amazing !
Great inspirational video! Your voice is shooting as well! You are so lucky to be able to live in Bali. I’m Indonesian who live in the US ! I’m retired , sometimes I want to move back and live simple like you, even though my siblings are in Java but both our daughters are living here and I have to grandchildren that’s why I can’t imagine want to live so far away from them. I’m quite busy actually with my retirement activities. Teaching Zumba for 50 plus or seniors 2x weeks, helping our daughter with the children occasionally, playing golf once a week and pickle ball 2nor 3 x a week . I live in small town in the mountains near Vail ski resort in Colorado so there are plenty of places for hiking or even just short walking ! I do have a thought on and off wanting living part time in Bali / part of the year!
thank you Endah, such kind words :) Yeah i can imagine it must be difficult if you want to spend time playing w the grandkids and watching them grow up, which is such a precious thing as well. Your retirement lifestyle sounds amazing i love zumba!!! its so much fun! i'm a zumba instructor too previously! n yeah omg pickleball is such a trend now in the US. SOunds like you are near nature too so is ideal. You're just prolly missing the local food in bali i guess. But outside of the food bit maybe your current life isn't that far away from what it might be in Bali. Enjoy your present moments!
heya Mike, so glad you like them! These are actually my favourite kinds of video to create, although in truth they require more time, effort & input than the Bali life videos, but i love having a conversation with you guys through these! Thank you for the note of encouragement.
Surfing is the only life the only life for me...Been doing what you are doing for the last 25 years on Oahu and Kauai. I'm 75 now, still a waterman Namaste!
Yes its always good to see how we can make some small changes in our life and feel completely transformed by it. I’m intrigued how someone like yourself has turned away from a stressful high end job earning big money, to find a true authentic life, earning less but living way more happily having times to do things you enjoy.
yes, it still boggles my mind when i check out my present reality. Pretty unbelievable even to myself. Time to do all the stuff that nourishes my soul, the creating, the arting, the surf. I'm so glad i went through all the time n effort of transitioning away from my corporate lifestyle!
Heya! You’re very welcome, n it may seem hard in theory, but why not try it for just a couple of days? I kept going because it actually felt so good to just not snooze in! Caveat: I do get my 8-9 hours of sleep properly though! U might find that it works good for u (at least I hope)! Try! N thank u for watching 😘
@@JeanVoronkova I tried it this morning and I feel really good about this change! 🎉 Will keep going for the next week. Small goals. But didn't get 8hrs of sleep, I don't think I get that many hous usually 😅
@@lilbitesofhappiness2380 YAY! thanks for coming back to tell me! lol. We surf n exercise quite a bit so not getting my 8-9 hours hits me hard, but if u find your balance in that regard, the not-snoozing-in is one of my best changes this year so far. g'luck!
Wow Jean what a magnificent shot to this beautiful place, I'm always so glad to hear great advice from you, so helpful and meaningful, thanks for keep sharing wonderful content, more power 💝👍💯
hi Jean I am a loyal viewer of your videos, I think the delivery style you do in your videos is very interesting, different from videos from other vloggers, keep your health 😁
Heya Fans, you’re a sweetheart! We try to do more fruitful content to bring more value to the people who take time to watch us every weekend, thank u for being here each weekend! 🙏🙏😍😍🤗🤗
You're amazing, Jean! Living your life to its fullest. Living in the "now" moment. Your approach to your life with basic simplicity is very powerful and impactful. All of what you've mentioned is so so true (such as the daily walks, cooking simple meals, reaching out to friends, etc.). You really are speaking from your heart, and I thank you for sharing your life experiences! I can tell from your own video that you are genuinely enjoying your current Bali life - your facial expressions are lively, cheerful, positive, always enjoying to learn new things, and with your great partner by your side. I'm very happy for you! Continue to live life to its fullest, Jean! And thank you again for sharing! (PS - I've watched your videos before last year and have been impressed with your video contents.
Thank you Danny, i really appreciate the support, so kind of you. Yes our life in Bali now is my dream come true and all i've ever wanted really. Might sound like very small ambitions but i'm just so contented already. I wish that you're also living your best life wherever you are at the moment, and that you actively shape it well with your actions!
@@JeanVoronkova Thank you for your wish! My mentor has once said something similar to me before - your own actions will help shape and decide your life. Thank you. And by the way, your "voice" is extremely soothing to listen to, combined with some very peaceful background music. They come across as very therapeutic with healing effects! Certainly helps with my blood pressure! Cheers..
I’ve been a subscriber since last year and I am grateful for your thought provoking videos. They are not just the usual travelogue but useful life lessons that are helpful and valuable indeed. Keep up your good work 👍. I’ve been to Bali twice in the past for holidays. It certainly has its unique charm and character.
Hey Margie, thank you for this kind note. I really appreciate the feedback esp cos we’re not sure making the thoughtful content videos is great for the channel growth per se (RUclips algorithm doesn’t seem to like it when we mix the content type) but at the same time this mix of content from Bali is exactly what I want to put out as a honest reflection of our life here, a bit of travel n exploration, some good food, some contemplation. So I really appreciate you taking some of your time to write some encouragement for us 😍🙏🤩 thank u! I hope u have a great Sunday in your part of the world!
@@foodblogjunky oh wow that’s a big step forwards! I hope u liked the feeling. I was surprised at how much difference it made for me to stop wasting time w the snooze. I feel much more motivated. N yes I dislike screen time in the mornings - it makes my mind very scattered. But always so tempting haha
@@JeanVoronkova I am. I just flew to Thailand from California and in quarantine. So I think I will take the offer up on skill share. Also looking forward to a slower, zen lifestyle like you so eloquently express. Wishing You and Vitaly a great weekend.
@@philipvonwrede9165 so exciting! Thailand is an amazing destination as well. I did yoga for a month on Koh Phangan n loved it! Hope u have a blast. If u do get on skillshare u must check out its zen n meditation classes too there r some very helpful ones I really liked. Enjoy!
@@JeanVoronkova yes...im brand new to yoga so ive been searching on RUclips for beginner classes. maybe skill share has some of those too. Thanks for the tips. I'm in real estate and have been getting away over the last 5 years for a month at a time. This time im getting away for 3 months. So hearing about your journey as a corporate attorney to a life in Bali struck a chord with me. Keep it coming. I appreciate your content. Our most valuable commodity is not money but our time. :)
@@philipvonwrede9165 thats really true, n the earlier we realise we don't have to rush anywhere n chase anything, the m ore we can enjoy this time we hv on earth :) hv a blast in Thailand!
Haha thanks Andrew! Not first lah but hopefully not last 🙄🤣🙄🤣🙄🤣 the thoughtful content videos r my favourite to produce but I think the mixed nature of content on this channel is not helping us w the yt algorithm to be honest 😏😅
@@JeanVoronkova thanks Jean I have just booked a place near North Kuta. Actually I hope extend my stay till end November. Then I will plan a trip to South Africa to visit my family. I will share my details as soon as Monday with you.
@@garthmccarthy4572 ooh South Africa … guess you’re a long way from home right now, but so many nice experiences await! Kuta’s not my favourite but a must do for everyone I guess. Go all around Bali if u hv time n the inclination to explore!
I long to do what you're doing, haven't found the courage and also many commitments to support lots of people, financially, emotionally, Excuse my French I'm in a sh*thole compared to your achievements. I admire and respect you for what you are today.
Actually I really don’t see things the same way as you do. I think it’s different ways of life, n I honestly respect people who stand by their commitments to support other people like how you are doing - I think that takes a lot of strength and courage n a large degree of selflessness and you should see that in yourself 🤓 maybe try to strike a balance over time with others’ needs vs your own, if what you have now isn’t exactly what you want.
I really don’t mean this as shameless self promo but check this video out cos u mentioned fear. ruclips.net/video/ylbnaT4WE70/видео.html write out the stuff as per the exercise mentioned therein - it helped me a lot to sort the wheat from the chaff n really manage things in order to set off to do what I’ve done. Hope this helps hey
thank you! we upload a new video every week Saturday at 9am :) I cycle between thoughtful content and Bali life content as an honest reflection of whats going on currently with us but i hope you enjoy the varying topics JJ - happy saturday!!
oo Jean since first time hear your voice is very relaxing :) Enjoy Bali and hope soon you and Vitalli could go to Lombok or Banyuwangi or maybe Labuan Bajo... ❤❤
Lol! U don’t look like a snoozer at all u sweet sweet nightingale! Love ur voice lah keep up the great singing 😍😘🤩 but by the by, popping out of bed at first ring actually feels really shiok, hope u try it lol
oh no Songtian so sorry to hear that... so serious you had to be admitted in hospital for oxygen assistance? that's very worrying. Hope at least you're comfortable in the hospital and receiving good care? Actually we have been struggling with trying to get ourselves revaccinated here in Bali as well its been a complicated process. Our original vaccination in Moscow a year ago is already coming up on expiry date. We will stay safe, you please try to rest well and recover quickly. Our prayers are with you.
Came across this in a book I read and found to be very useful....Definition of marginal gains: The theory that "small yet significant improvements can lead to monumental results".
Hi Jean! Hehehe... happy birthday... did you get your bunny? I can't disagree nor agree with your 7 little changes. It would be a drastic change in my lifestyle (not the healthiest) I sleep late, wake up at 6, oh, 6pm, not am. No need for snooze... I more of a carnivore than an omnivore but I got to say the food you were preparing... yummy yum yumzz.. looks great! And that giant Avo.. one of few fruits I like. Kitana is looking great! Even with a new collar! Must be rubbing off the positive vibes from you two.
Heya Terubong! Haha no bunny for me but there’s a new doggie in our compound and she’s practically moved in w us in our home 🤣🤣🤣 thankfully Kitana n her mostly get along.. so now it’s like 2 doggies!! Very happy. U sure sound like u know how to enjoy life! Happy for u! I used to be a night bird in my young years but surfing totally changed that around so now we’re early to bed n to rise haha. Hope u had lots of prawn crackers n pineapple tarts over the cny period!!!!
@@JeanVoronkova Awww no bunny, but 2 dogs is good. They keep each other company too. What in your young years? Infant ah? You're still young now. I had so much CNY goodies I look like a tart now. 😯
🤣🤣🤣 once the goodies r digested you’ll revert back to being Terubong I’m sure! It’s a blessing to enjoy goodies lah! I haven’t had a single pineapple tart in over 3 years! 🤣🤣🤣 Satpam (new doggie) wags tail at u to say hi!
May Allah almighty protect you from all troubles, troubles, people's cities, jealousy and unforeseen disasters. And bestow blessings in your provision. And give you a healthy life of faith, Islam and fitness. And keep in mind the amen or the Lord of the worlds
I almost left behind too long for enjoying this video. My wife has caught by Omicron, so I must take over her jobs for our kids first. I couldn't agree more for this 7 things. I always feeling grateful for my kid and teenager's time like you and peoples from other countries try to find in Indonesia. This is so deep to remind my memories at young age. But at the middle 40's like me, i feel like i am stucked in one way of daily business, but in other way want to back to 2 or 3 decades earlier that we were just feeling happy for all things. BTW, our point of views r going to be our mindsets. Thank you for uploading several quotes and let us better than we used to be. Happy advance 50k++ subs (just 1.5k to go!). Keep safe and healthy. And keep going with this kind of enlighten videos. 🙏
Hey Oom! I’m so sorry to hear that your wife is down w omicron 😱😱😱 but praying hard it’s a mild case of home recovery that will be quick n painless? Hope you r coping ok w the kiddos! Thank u for always leaving such an encouraging and kind message for us. I’m glad the 7 small changes towards more intentional living resonated with u, n I hope the video brought u some happy feelings for this weekend at least 🙏😊 take good care and also stay in good health whilst holding up the household!

I often think about making a change similar to what you have done. Your videos are warm, soft-spoken, and calm. I feel that you may have stirred something inside of me that makes me restless now. All my finances are in order so no problems there, but I'm alone. I'm not afraid to travel solo and have often done that many times before in my life. I'm vegan and appreciate your plant-based lifestyle. I'm also American and teach English in Taiwan.

Haha thanks Andrew! Not first lah but hopefully not last 🙄🤣🙄🤣🙄🤣 the thoughtful content videos r my favourite to produce but I think the mixed nature of content on this channel is not helping us w the yt algorithm to be honest 😏😅
Thank you Jean. I am scheduled to arrive in Bali tomorrow evening. So excited for the next 6 months. I am sure we may bump into each other.
that's amazing! sounds like you'll be here for 6 months? yep Bali is a small place surely we'll see you around somewhere. Whereabouts will u be based
@@JeanVoronkova thanks Jean I have just booked a place near North Kuta. Actually I hope extend my stay till end November. Then I will plan a trip to South Africa to visit my family. I will share my details as soon as Monday with you.
@@garthmccarthy4572 ooh South Africa … guess you’re a long way from home right now, but so many nice experiences await! Kuta’s not my favourite but a must do for everyone I guess. Go all around Bali if u hv time n the inclination to explore!
You have a great voice!
dmango, you never fail to cheer me up! thank u n i wish you a very happy weekend!
I long to do what you're doing, haven't found the courage and also many commitments to support lots of people, financially, emotionally, Excuse my French I'm in a sh*thole compared to your achievements. I admire and respect you for what you are today.
Actually I really don’t see things the same way as you do. I think it’s different ways of life, n I honestly respect people who stand by their commitments to support other people like how you are doing - I think that takes a lot of strength and courage n a large degree of selflessness and you should see that in yourself 🤓 maybe try to strike a balance over time with others’ needs vs your own, if what you have now isn’t exactly what you want.
I really don’t mean this as shameless self promo but check this video out cos u mentioned fear. ruclips.net/video/ylbnaT4WE70/видео.html write out the stuff as per the exercise mentioned therein - it helped me a lot to sort the wheat from the chaff n really manage things in order to set off to do what I’ve done. Hope this helps hey
Wow..finally you upload ur new video. Im waiting for it
thank you! we upload a new video every week Saturday at 9am :) I cycle between thoughtful content and Bali life content as an honest reflection of whats going on currently with us but i hope you enjoy the varying topics JJ - happy saturday!!
oo Jean since first time hear your voice is very relaxing :) Enjoy Bali and hope soon you and Vitalli could go to Lombok or Banyuwangi or maybe Labuan Bajo... ❤❤
Ooh we really wanna go over to Lombok but have to sort out our booster shots first… thank y Lintas im glad y enjoyed the video!
Nice
Good life...
Thanks Dwi 🥰😄🙏🙏🙏
I really should push myself to graduate from the snooze button academy - lol. Thanks for the inspiration - love the video, Jean!
Lol! U don’t look like a snoozer at all u sweet sweet nightingale! Love ur voice lah keep up the great singing 😍😘🤩 but by the by, popping out of bed at first ring actually feels really shiok, hope u try it lol
Wow. A7iv was a huge step up and bring you to next production level . Which lens did you used on A7iv ?
Hi Shane thank u for noticing HAHA! Vitaly will be chuffed! We’re on the kit lens …. Need to save up for a better one!
Agree 100%
Glad it resonated w u 🤓
That sandwich looked so good 😋 I’m addicted to avocados since I was a small kid 🤩 Have one everyday
Our avocado plant now in the garden it’s really thriving! Almost a small tree! Excited to see it grow, but yeah it’s such a super healthy food
Yes I’m down with covid currently
admitted in the hospital since 10 Feb no discharging date yet as I still req oxy help
May both of u stay safe
oh no Songtian so sorry to hear that... so serious you had to be admitted in hospital for oxygen assistance? that's very worrying. Hope at least you're comfortable in the hospital and receiving good care? Actually we have been struggling with trying to get ourselves revaccinated here in Bali as well its been a complicated process. Our original vaccination in Moscow a year ago is already coming up on expiry date. We will stay safe, you please try to rest well and recover quickly. Our prayers are with you.
Hey Song, seems like omicron is really making the rounds, I hope u r getting better since no reply yet…. Take care ure in my prayers!
song.... how's it going?
@@JeanVoronkova just oxy lvl need monitoring
No longer on assisted oxy but docs monitoring inflammation of my lungs
yay! so glad to hear!!!
How’s the Avocado 🥑 plant 🌱 coming along? 😁
oh its growth spurting like mad its like 0.5m tall now!
Plant based diet is definitely the way to go.
😍🤩 we aren’t fully transitioned yet but enjoying the process!
Came across this in a book I read and found to be very useful....Definition of marginal gains: The theory that "small yet significant improvements can lead to monumental results".
Absolutely bang on, Suresh. Have u checked out Atomic Habits by James Clear? He’s amazing!
Yes, that’s the book I found this inspirational advice…have a great week 🙏
@@sureshnaidoo6116 he's changed so much of the world with one book I think!
Suka banget sama bunga sedap malam,, wangi nya awet
🙏😊 makasih banyak teman
love this one ,peacepeacepeace...
Thank u Matthew! This is also one of my favourite videos we made so far! Loved the sceneries hehe
Hi Jean! Hehehe... happy birthday... did you get your bunny? I can't disagree nor agree with your 7 little changes. It would be a drastic change in my lifestyle (not the healthiest) I sleep late, wake up at 6, oh, 6pm, not am. No need for snooze... I more of a carnivore than an omnivore but I got to say the food you were preparing... yummy yum yumzz.. looks great! And that giant Avo.. one of few fruits I like. Kitana is looking great! Even with a new collar! Must be rubbing off the positive vibes from you two.
Heya Terubong! Haha no bunny for me but there’s a new doggie in our compound and she’s practically moved in w us in our home 🤣🤣🤣 thankfully Kitana n her mostly get along.. so now it’s like 2 doggies!! Very happy. U sure sound like u know how to enjoy life! Happy for u! I used to be a night bird in my young years but surfing totally changed that around so now we’re early to bed n to rise haha. Hope u had lots of prawn crackers n pineapple tarts over the cny period!!!!
@@JeanVoronkova Awww no bunny, but 2 dogs is good. They keep each other company too. What in your young years? Infant ah? You're still young now. I had so much CNY goodies I look like a tart now. 😯
🤣🤣🤣 once the goodies r digested you’ll revert back to being Terubong I’m sure! It’s a blessing to enjoy goodies lah! I haven’t had a single pineapple tart in over 3 years! 🤣🤣🤣 Satpam (new doggie) wags tail at u to say hi!
Awesome!!!
Thank u Shakey!
Food came at 3 minutes. Good food channel for stomach. Might go one day into food for the mind
hehe lets all go towards plant leaning lifestyles!
May Allah almighty protect you from all troubles, troubles, people's cities, jealousy and unforeseen disasters. And bestow blessings in your provision. And give you a healthy life of faith, Islam and fitness. And keep in mind the amen or the Lord of the worlds
Thank u 🙏👍🏼
Vegetarian food is better for health,to increase lifespan also,for activeness also
I almost left behind too long for enjoying this video. My wife has caught by Omicron, so I must take over her jobs for our kids first.
I couldn't agree more for this 7 things. I always feeling grateful for my kid and teenager's time like you and peoples from other countries try to find in Indonesia. This is so deep to remind my memories at young age.
But at the middle 40's like me, i feel like i am stucked in one way of daily business, but in other way want to back to 2 or 3 decades earlier that we were just feeling happy for all things.
BTW, our point of views r going to be our mindsets. Thank you for uploading several quotes and let us better than we used to be.
Happy advance 50k++ subs (just 1.5k to go!). Keep safe and healthy. And keep going with this kind of enlighten videos. 🙏
Hey Oom! I’m so sorry to hear that your wife is down w omicron 😱😱😱 but praying hard it’s a mild case of home recovery that will be quick n painless? Hope you r coping ok w the kiddos! Thank u for always leaving such an encouraging and kind message for us. I’m glad the 7 small changes towards more intentional living resonated with u, n I hope the video brought u some happy feelings for this weekend at least 🙏😊 take good care and also stay in good health whilst holding up the household!
@@JeanVoronkova Thank you 🙏
@@augusteeaa no worries, hope she's feeling better already
