We’ve found the perfect apartment in Indonesia to start our life as a family! The picture above is of our actual semi-furnished living room. Your contribution to this fund will help us cover the security deposit to officially secure our new home. Thank you for helping us get the keys to our first place!

We’re trading the tropical heat for Nordic treats! We’re celebrating our marriage with a journey through Finland and Sweden this September. We can't wait to see the 'Ruska' autumn colors and stay up late hunting for the Aurora Borealis. Your contribution to our airfare fund helps us explore this beautiful part of the world—thank you for being a part of our journey!

Help us capture the magic! A professional guide will take us far from city lights to the best viewing spots and teach us how to photograph the Aurora so we can bring the memories home.

Nothing says Finland like a cozy kelo pine cabin. This fund helps us secure a stay with a roaring fireplace and a traditional private Finnish sauna to warm up after a day in the snow.

While we may be miles apart, we’ll be thinking of you every time we sit down for a meal. This fund will help us stock our kitchen (actually pictured here) with the essentials we need to start our own cooking traditions as a family in Indonesia. Thank you for being a part of our daily lives from afar!

Help us turn our first place into a cozy retreat! As we settle into our new home in Indonesia (our bedroom pictured above), we’re looking to add the essential comforts—like soft towels and fresh sheets—that make a rental feel truly ours. Your contribution will help us stay comfortable and relaxed as we begin our journey together!

As we build our life across two different countries, we’ll be doing a lot of traveling between the places we call home. We’re investing in a durable set of luggage that can handle the long-haul flights and help us bring a little piece of each home back and forth with us. Thank you for helping us stay connected to our roots!"

We want to make sure we keep the celebration going all year long! This fund will go toward a monthly date night during our first year as a married couple in Indonesia. It’s our way of taking a moment each month for each other and to toast to our life together. We can’t wait to tell you about our favorite local finds!
