it's the experience that we get to
Have a memory this creates with our loved ones
That's what really life is all about because you see these people in these villages who are happy
and they're just there with their families their children and
there's just the simplicity and happiness to it, so
Cherish your loved ones cherish the time you have a planet and experience
so
the time has come [and]
We're leaving indonesia
Unfortunately our Visa has run up, and we gotta go
so
we're here in
Maumere, Flores
Its our last day in indonesia
and we're off to Malaysia and
Hoping to probably go to an Island
called Borneo,
which we heard is a little bit more raw
beautiful and less
Traveled than other islands in Malaysia that which is something that we're constantly constantly seeking I
Think it's been pretty much one of the best months of my life a lot of ways really hard
and
really wonderful
And I feel that kind of has been our kind of theme in
During the time spent in indonesia. Is that coming to Ubud
first and
realizing how crazy and insane that City was
Getting away from the crazy traffic of motorbikes. You know we started traveling to gili Air and then
in their place to other islands and now we're in Flores [Island] right now which honestly has been such an
Incredible place
And we started moving went to lombok and then we went to Kuta. We got on our boat
It about all over the place
And I felt like we were running from something and this is sinking feeling like is this whole thing [just] about
getting away
People are just so incredibly nice here
This Island has so much untouched beauty to it
And I think that is something that we've been searching for is that kind of untouched feeling?
Islands here in the beaches here have way less plastic than anywhere else that we've been which a very sad thing [to] say that a [beach]
has the less plastics and other beaches can't believe I'm even talking about that
But that's the reality of things these [days]
is that every single Beach out there is polluted with trash and plastics from human being so
We're destroying our planet people gotta do something about it
You're going be trekking today
but it is hard, but
hiking up
Climbed to the top of the Mountain and it was worth it
You know when we got here to Flores
Energy for me from the Earth and from the people [and] from the water everything it was so special
And finally look at each other
We're like three four weeks into our trip and we finally feel [like] we made it to where we wanted
And that that maybe we start asking questions about. What is it were actually looking for and that's when it hit me
We're not running from anything
were Running to something
I saw these
Children playing the other day, and they're playing with no shoes on and they're so happy like they're just jumping around this weird rock
they
Don't have any toys. You know
[they're]
They had some weird sticks they were playing with or something and it really
Brought a lot of memories to me because I know we haven't really shared our past on Youtube yet
And I'm sure mark, and I will do something a little bit more
detailed to kind of
you know tell you guys where we come [from] for those of you that are interested in learning about our history [and] [our] past but
for me personally
I was born in Siberia in Russia a very small Village in Siberia and
my parents actually ended up moving to ukraine and that's where I ended up growing up and at the age of 10 my
Family my mom my dad my brother we ended up immigrating to Vancouver Canada
So I spent you know the first [10] years of my childhood
living in this Village in ukraine a very small small Village and
In the life that we had in ukraine it was very
Special and when I see these children
Playing I can't help but have like Nostalgia and memories come back to me when I was little
Living and growing up in the ukraine it just kind of made me realize [that]
We and you know in North America
We sometimes think that you know as we get money and for us to be happy we have to
buy the newest iphone and we need to
Give our children all the newest toys and gadgets and all this stuff
[now] we don't need people don't need
stuff
stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff things to make yourself happy and
I think about home
In that sense of home and yeah, [Toronto's] not home anymore
And I think it was only home because I needed a place to call home. I felt like I needed something
Something that would make me [feel]
Like I have a place
And then I think I'm coming is starting to come to grips with the [idea] that you don't need to have a place
just need be comfortable with yourself
in this existence and this life sometimes maybe we should just step take a step back and think about what you really need and
How [can] you bring happiness into your lives without having to go and spend money on it?
[you] know sometimes the real happiness is taking your family to a park and having a picnic and
Just spending time together and creating memories together doesn't have to be
Anything to do with money or spending money?
Mark, and I've always had [a] weird thing about Valentine's day
It's a holiday that people create it
So you could buy more things you don't need a day to tell someone you love them by buying them
The latest necklace like just tell them [that] you love them
Spend time with them spend quality time with them. That's real love that. That's the true connection of human being and
not
Thing that in a year will be worthless to you, or you'll one upgrade it or make it better
Now people keep saying online
Oh, you guys are on a spiritual journey, and I kind of I don't really understand what that means a spiritual journey
but
It's starting to become clear that
We are seeking we're not leaving
We are learning and growing
as
these things fall away from
So we saw some dragons
they're crazy
Guide is a incredibly casual
You're like
trying to get a
saw some Deer, Pigs saw three Komodo dragons
with their tongues
Now is something you can poke a hole in in this life or in
Someone else and or in yourself, and that served me down some dark loads throughout my time poking holes in my own hypocrisy
But you know i gotta focus
And we all have to focus on the things we're doing right and the things that we're doing that are good and each day
Saying what can I do today
that will make me a little bit better than I i was yesterday
Physically mentally our impact
Our footprints that we're leaving behind
the energy or we're putting our energy into
What job we work?
And what we're doing after the job
To balance ourselves out because lord knows sitting at a desk and staring at a computer screen if we're doing any of us any good
If we do it for 12 hours a day, I guess I'm really passionate
Maybe that's what's happened. Something's woken inside of me. I got some shit to do
And this is all
Coming to an end when we're finding our place
And find our place to call home again
There's a lot. I [need] you that I haven't done
But I love it
I love the people place [with] everything in this country if you get a chance to come to Indonesia you do
Don't just go to bali
experience more
Experience in all that you do and I'm starting to understand how [that] experience
Can give you a little bit of space and a little bit of perspective?
to reflect
And then it will change
What you put out to the world?
its a beautiful feeling
This country is beautiful this country is unbelievable it has taught us a lot and has tested us a lot
but it's been a beautiful experience so now we're [offering] to Malaysia and
stay tuned
Sometimes we've just got to stop all the noise
And just let [herself] feel it's really really important
Something I'm really really learning
