A New Friend on the Road #Indonesia
Jan 23, 2016
We met a stranger on the road and he became our best friend in Bali.
One day, we were driving up north with our motorcycle to Singaraja. As we drove100km and going up hill, the motorcycle was stranded. It seemed to have a mechanical failure.
Is there anyone speaks English here? - Dan walked into the restaurant and asked for help. A young guy quickly finishing up his meal and said, Yes, I do. He left with us and drove around to find a mechanic for us.
One week later, we found ourselves staying with Berdys family at their home. He invited us to visit his family and spend a few days together. The first night, his family sat together in the sitting room sharing photos and life stories with us. We chatted in broken English with Berdy translating back and forth. The next day, while talking to Berdy, we realized it was not common for their family to gather together, it may very well have been one of the first instances. Three days later, when we were saying goodbye, his mom started tearing up. flOra gave her a hug while she was crying on her shoulder. We were not expecting that. We could not even speak the language, but they were very touched and impacted. It was way more than we could imagine from this new friend and family we met out of a break down motorcycle.

1 Year Honeymoon Adventure in Asia
5.8k views14 subscribers
When Daniel was young, he had a dream: to have an extended honeymoon with the woman he loves.
He did not know how she looks or where is she from, but he wanted to spend the first year of his marriage with his wife.
Inspired by the Bible verse, Deuteronomy 24:5 : When a man get married. The first year he shall not call to war or business, but stay at home and please his wife.
He thought what if people actually do it?
Life is short and full of hustles. Soon we will have kids, pursuing career, earning money and the list goes on and on. If we are to be married for 50 years of our lives, 1 year out of 50 is only 2%. Why don't we devote one year to just focus on marriage, enjoy and learn about each other, build a strong foundation for marriage, and create the memories that we would never forget?
We would never have the first year of marriage back. If we rush back to work the next day after our wedding and be occupied with other priorities in life, will we get to know each other’s needs or spend quality time together? So me (flOra) and my husband Daniel decided to give our best time and attention to each other in our first year of marriage.
