Aloha! E komo mai at joosten808.com, the website of Jeroen, Michelle and Isabella (and (even though she still lives in the Netherlands) a bit of Larissa, Jeroen’s oldest daughter and Isabella’s big sister, also).

This website was originally created to let the folks back in the Netherlands know about our whereabouts, to inform them how things were going and to share our adventures with them (for more basic information about all this, please see the ‘about‘ section of this website where we explained a bit more about our story). However, time has passed since and it seems as if there are less things to tell about because many subjects have already been covered and we slowly moved into a steady every-day life which is why we decided to change the purpose of the website a little bit and not to just blog about our lives in Hawaii but also about other things that may or may not interest us.

While English is the main language of our website, some articles may be written in both English and Dutch, or even in Dutch alone. In case you are interested in a certain article on our website but that part turns out to be in a language you do not understand, please contact us and, if time and willingness permits us, we might translate that article for you (in either English or Dutch).

We hope you’ll like our website. If you have any comments on the articles posted, please do not hesitate to do so below the articles ;)
