Living Simply in Indonesia - Enjoying Sumatra Village Life
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 05. 2023
- What's daily life for us like now that we've had a year to settle into life in Sumatra? Join us to see what living simply in Indonesia looks like.
We've found ourselves getting lazy recently (thanks to Rosita the scooter, it's too fun to drive everywhere!) so we've started a new routine this month that starts with morning walks and eats with a cat play session.
See what happens in between (and soak up the chill padi field vibes).

Hi, I'm Agung, I live in Lake Toba, Sumatra (Indonesia) with my wife Carly. I was born in Sumatra, so love sharing all my local knowledge with visitors. Carly has been a traveller to Sumatra since 2009, and has been living here the last few years. We now live in a village on Samosir Island in Lake Toba, North Sumatra. Together, we create content to help share the beauty of incredible Sumatra with the world. Horas, Mejuah juah - see you in Sumatra!

@@ExploringSumatra cool, see you soon
@@ExploringSumatra by the way , my friend, is July the Durian season in Lake Toba? my wife is a big fan of durian, thx
@@xiangyao8588 YOu might be lucky! Durian season seems to change a little every year, but there are usually durian around all through the year, so hopefully your wife can find some good ones! There is a great restaurant just outside of Ambarita that does AMAZING vegan durian icecream. Agung LOVES it.
We find you very interesting. We are coming to Sumatra in November for 6 months. We intend to go to Sidikalang. Can you do a video about where you live and cost of living in Sumatra. I would be interested in things like, rent hydro, water sewer, food costs. etc.
Hi! That's so nice that you've been finding our content interesting! Thank you! That's great that you are heading here for 6 months! Such a big chunk of time. We haven't been to Sidikalang yet, but no doubt it's beautiful, like most of this area (and most of Sumatra)! We had considered doing a video about the cost of living here, so will add it to the list. In the meantime, feel free to reach out via email if you have any questions: exploringsumatra@gmail.com
Thank you for your informative videos. Would appreciate it if you could supply us with some prices of the things you spend money on. For example, the goods you purchased in the store and the dinner you ordered.
Thanks for the comment and suggestion. For sure we'll try to include more prices in the future. Actually we have a video coming up soon solely about the cost of various things in Sumatra - from food and gas to accommodation etc. ☺
你好，hello fr China, I visited Lake Toba in 2014,and we will come back next early month. we once want do the trip fr Medan to Lake Toba, and then Banyak islands, but we only have 8 days, maybe not enough time, so we would like stay in Lake Toba for the whole vocation, only 8 days ,haha
Hello there in China! That’s so awesome that you will be coming back after such a long time! You’ll find it’s a little different but also the same haha. New buildings and better roads but the same great vibes as always. Ahh yes it would be hard to fit Banyak Islands in that time, but how great you can stay and explore Lake Toba for a week! 😊😊😊
Another superb video guys!! I especially liked the Indomaret section hahahahah. ❤
Aw thanks Martin! We bump into the nicest people in our travels haha 😉
Hello from CABagus video & happy you enjoy island life in TukTuk tapi mau banyak subscriber harus bikin video tiap hari. Biasanya banyak orang belanda mau kebudyaan septeri Veron Ina dari Timor: Padoa Sabu & pernikihan Bapak Agung, travel, visa, pengalaman luar biasa, trekking,food, hotel info like Bali by Gary, etc. Jangan marah, kalau tidak ingin uang, tidak apa apa. Both of you are fabulous, let's see more! Ayo! Maafkan, blum lancar dalam bahasa Indonesia. Terima kasih. Banyak cinta.
Hi Liz! Thanks for your comment. We would love to monetise CZcams and we had such big plans for our channel. All the things you talk about we want to do and know we could make such amazing, useful content if we could just get out there and travel more! Unfortunately, due to chronic and ongoing health issues, it's just not possible to make the kind of videos we want or do much travelling. Some weeks we can barely leave the house. But hopefully it's not forever! Until then we'll just keep making what we can and hope we keep growing :) Lots of love back to you :)
Hi Carly, so sorry your feeling under the weather. Hope the prognosis resolves itself within the next year. Your fortunate to eat fish every day. Is it fresh & what is it? Acupuncture helped me thru cancer and leaving the US. Take care. Banyak cinta. I've got my big fluffy, fat cat (Siberian)with blue eyes next 2 me Cookie jumped into my car at a garage sale. @@ExploringSumatra
Terima kaish Liz. Agung makan ikan tapi Carly tida - dia vegetarian. Tapi ikan dari danau tidak enak hahaha. Tastes like lake! So sorry to hear you went through cancer - I hope you are well past it now. Say hello to beautiful Cookie from us! xxx
@@ExploringSumatra Ikan bakar makanan yg favorite saya. Sayang, ikan dari danau kurang enak. What about your cats eating fish from the lake?
Sambil lulu, saya tinggal di Bukittingi sambuh dari sakit, banyak perempuan di sana mempunya breast cancer! You mentioned panas sekali siang hart, saya pikir dingin tapi salah. Di sana di Bukittingi dingin setiap malam. Di Tuk-Tuk, panas setiap hari?
Juga, did you ever make videos of trekking in the jungles of Sumatra, i.e. Bukit Lawang?
Feel better. Will the chronic fatigue subside with rest? Last time, have you been to Horas House? Pendapat? Sampai bertemu lagi. P.S. Cookie sends banyak cinta.
@UCG%F0%9F%98%8DwDTc4WR9_o2pSNZAJqbzw Sorry Liz - just found this comment in the spam folder for some reason! We have not yet made videos of jungle trekking but really hoping to get there soon! Really wish we had been vlogging 5 years ago when we went on so many epic jungle adventures - but better late than never! Lake Toba is lebih dingin daripada Medan dan hutan karena lebih tinggi. But lately, lumayan panas during the day! Sekarang, cuacanya sedikit dingin karena banyak angin. Do you mean Horas Family Home? We have visited but never stayed. It's a lovely place and they do a great job of taking care of their guests. Nice pool and great location. Sending banyak cinta back to Cookie!
