I’m on a mission to get married over the next few days which will then be followed by a honeymoon in a remote location where there is no internet. That doesn’t mean that you can’t reach me. Here’s exactly how to reach me until I’m back on August 12th

By Air Mail:
Locate the white pigeon with the three black spots on its right wing. Write your message on a piece of paper, roll it up and tie it to its right paw. Make sure the pigeon flies to these coordinates -8.409518, 115.188919

By Sea:
Please write your message on a piece of paper, roll it up and put it in a glass bottle. Close it firmly with a cork lid and throw it into the ocean (East of the Straits of Hormuz). 
Note: make sure your throw is aimed at coordinates -8.409518, 115.188919, this will ensure that the bottle washes up by my sandy toes on the island.

By Satelite: 
For URGENT matters, feel free to reach out to my mother-in-law. Her senses are equipped with laser precise geo-targeting allowing her to be fully aware of our coordinates.

Looking forward to connecting 😉

The locally based company are known for having a sense of humour…
