We are the Hartong family — David (43), Sarah (37), Vince (9) and Bibi Nowé (5). A family with a dream: to explore the world, embrace freedom and truly enjoy life together.
Like many families, we spent years following the conventional path. But deep down, we knew there was more. More adventure, more connection, more life. So we made a decision — to turn our dream into reality and embark on a world journey through Southeast Asia.
More than just travellers
We don’t just want to see the world — we want to contribute to it. House sitting allows us to help home owners travel with peace of mind, while giving us the privilege of living like locals across Southeast Asia. A fair exchange built on trust, respect and a shared love for this amazing region.
Why Horizon by Hartong?
During our journey we discovered a gap — there was no dedicated community for house sitters, expats and digital nomads specifically in Southeast Asia. So we built one. Horizon by Hartong is our way of connecting people who share the same values: freedom, adventure and genuine human connection.
Welcome to our world. We hope it becomes yours too.
