- We have swapped glaciers for palm trees - I'm in Portugal visiting my parents! This life truly is the OPPOSITE of mine so I thought I would share a day in my life here in the sun. In this video you also get to meet my older sister Gabrielle! I hope you enjoy this video and change of scenery, thank you so much for being here! We will be back on Svalbard in the next video! ✨☕️

Mom and Dad have a stunning crib. Absolutely beautiful and a wonderful place to go "home". You are a very lucky girl. ❤
I think so too!
Stop using "crib" instead of "house", "home" or whatever. Crib is such an uneducated way of saying house.
@@thiagogregory1 I don't care if you dislike my choice of diction. I have a Masters Degree in Applied Linguistics and will use any euphemism I choose. I also live in a large city (10M) and "crib" is a perfectly acceptable form used to describe a home here. What are your education credentials? 12th grade?
@@mountainbound1315 Sure, keep speaking African American Vernacular English lmao
@@thiagogregory1 I knew I detected a racist in your attempt at an insult. However, you didn't state YOUR education credentials so that tells me all I need to know. 12th grade, maybe, if that.
Thank you so much for being here and watching my videos! 💛 If you miss snowy Svalbard, don't worry - we will be back home on the island on Sunday! 🌨✨ Love y'all!
Watching from NZ on a miserable winters day, but nothing compared to Svalbard standards😀
Hello from Colombia 🇨🇴.
Enjoy that paradise
I pause what I’m doing to watch your videos! They’re a welcoming peace to my day!❤❤
Would Christopher ever leave Svalbard? As in move away
So glad that you're having fun with your fam in such a beautiful place! Safe travels on your way back to Svalbard (hopefully I spelled that right 🤣)
And I am super giddy that you used the term y'all! I'm from the southern part of the US and didn't know that term was used in other countries.
Your whole family has a very peaceful energy. People will talk about the nice house but it doesn't matter the house if there's no harmony inside
Very good point 😊
Bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻
@@SWIdaho2 agreed 💯. Hello from Poland 🇵🇱 and my channel 😊 and the countryside 🏡!
Beautifull place but do not feel the saul like when you are at your home with Christopher and grim. 😢
Hygge ❤❤❤❤hyggelig
As a Portuguese thank you for capturing Portugal like you did! ❤
I'm so happy you liked it! 😃🙏🫶
Brazil is better
It was very heartwarming to see you interacting with your niece. In my culture, your aunts are like your second mom's. I'm super close to my siblings kids. ❤
She was sooo amazing and I'm so happy I got lots of time to bond with her! 🧡
It must be so much easier to get through the dark winters and arctic climate when you know you always have *that* to escape to!
Absolutely! 🙏🏻 But weirdly enough, it is the midnight sun I need to escape from! haha the dark winters I LOVE 😂
Indeed !
Thanks for still taking the time and effort to film despite being in Portugal spending time with your family 💖 ha en underbar dag!
Thank you! 🙌✨️
You know right she earns money through this...good amounts of it
That's her job. A lot of ppl work during their own hols.
@@olkaolka9092 I am aware that it is her job. Just because a lot of people work during their own vacations doesn't mean that it should be considered a norm. Everybody deserves to take a time off their jobs and spend time doing other stuff (if they want to/need to). It is good for the soul.🙏
If my parents lived there, in such a beautiful villa, i wouldn't leave.😂 I have visited Portugal, a couple of times, and loved it. The people are so friendly. 😊
Thank you so much, Cecilia, for showing us some of the most beautiful places on Planet Earth! ♥️♥️🌸🌸☀️☀️
Thank you for the kind words 🧡
It's all the reason to take care of what we have
Thank you for sharing your day in Portugal with your family. What a beautiful family you have and very talented sister too! In awe how she so good in puzzle that takes me a whole day to finish😂 I so adore your parents house and beautiful Portugal that I'm thinking of adding to my bucket list to visit.
@@CeciliaBlomdahl Praia da Luz, was there a month ago! Beautiful! ❤
I read something the other day that read “the most rare thing to do in life is to live, most people merely exist” and Cecilia YOU are truly living ❤ keep living. I aspire to live as you do and not just exist. Thank you for being my inspiration. Time for a lifestyle change!
I’m Spanish and I adore Portugal, your parents house is a dream ❤
I have been watching your videos for a while now because of the beautiful snowy landscapes and your candid storytelling, but when I saw this video from my own country my heart melted. Obrigada! ❤🇵🇹
🧡🧡🧡
After binge watching ALL your videos since the start of 2023, i finally caught up to the most recent one!! Not sure if you've heard it already but you know how you watch REALLY good and interesting videos whenever you're eating your meals? That's what your channel is to me and honestly, i fell so much in love in svalbard that i hope one day i can visit that magical place you call home.
haha omggg thank youuuu! 😍🧡
Hi Cecilla! Cindy from Colorado here,just wanting to let you know that I adore everything about you!!! You have the best personality and I bet all of us here would say you'd be a great best friend to have in real life, but having you here with us is almost as good. Love you sweetheart!!
From Svalbard to a beautiful pool and country like Portugal, What a change Cecile 😄
Hello from USA....Im glad to see you getting some much needed sunshine. I worry when you dont get sun..We as human being we need some sunshine. i think polar days and nights can mess up the rhythm of your bodies. plus warmer weather gives you so much to do and enjoy, you can walk through the forest and have complete joy , peace. the birds are chirping the wind in the trees and then you are surrounded by complete silence. its just a beatuiful thing.....Love your videos
Beautiful ocean views and sky. Love the 8am latte for VR reunion… trash tv and bonding! Sisters love!
I'm from the States and went to Porto and Lisbon on my first trip to Europe. You will absolutely love Porto! loved the Portuguese sardines (brought tons home for family and friends), and had the river cruise and wine tasting in Porto. One of my best trips ever.
My parents retired to Mexico for 11 years (we are from the US, just north of Chicago), and it was always so lovely to visit them every year. While on the one hand I was happy they moved back in the end, I also very much miss visiting where they lived, as it was real Mexico.
You are so blessed to have the best of both worlds, warm and cold, sunny and dark, family at both places, exercise in both places, great food in both places, the same sky but different beauty!
Thank you for sharing the amazing beauty of both!!!
Love the birds in the background
Cecilia, it was nice meeting you and Grimm today on our hike! What a great place Svalbard is, we luckily got a ride back from a guide instead of walking the additional 10km+ back to Longyearbyen. Thanks for taking the time to chat with us!
It was so so nice to meet you!! 😃 I'm happy to hear you got a ride home, it's quite the walk 🙌 I hope you have an amazing rest of the trip 😊
@@CeciliaBlomdahl Wait, are you back home already??
Went on a hike Sarkofagen, snow was very rotten and hard hike. We are checking out Mine 3 tomorrow and maybe the brewery tour. What else should we do?? Is there a way to walk to the other side of the fjord?
A beautiful thing to spend time at the beach with family A fabulous childhood memory for me
It’s a beautiful place. I worked with 3 Portuguese women decades ago & they were so sweet. Always trying to feed me😂. Swallows are insane! They zip around me at the park & somehow don’t crash into me. Stay awesome dear one!❤️
Thank you for taking us along on your vacation
Loved the shots of the Portuguese countryside. Thank you for all the great videos.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
This looks like it was such an amazing trip 😄 happy to hear how much you enjoyed it!
How Special to have your parents to visit & enjoy family & the warm sun-❤ I like my pool water cool; motivates me to move.
Ahh something to watch before it is time to sleep 🥺
🙌🏻🧡
These Portugal vlogs make me miss it even more now 🥲 having my partner living there and myself in Finland as of right now 😅 hopefully i get to go back soon 😊 thanks for another amazing video Cecilia!
Kärlek från Finland ❤
I loved this video!! Portugal looks absolutely stunning 😍
Thank you for sharing a little of Portugal with the world! ❤
What a beautiful area! Glad you had a wonderful visit with your family. ❤
Absolutely beautiful! Thank for sharing!
Thank you so much for taking us with you to visit your family. Absolutely beautiful scenery. 💖😊🏝️
Hey Cecilia~ Thank you… that was lovely! Penny is adorable! I hope your half-marathon went well.
Loved this video. Portugal looks beautiful! Nice to have a change of scenery every now and then.
Glad it did you a world of good and you had a great time with your family, Cecilia. It's always nice to get a peek at Portugal, then the triumphant return to Svalbard. Looking forward to your half-marathon. Safe travels. 💖💖💖
Thank you for sharing your days at home with us! It's absolutely GORGEOUS there ❤
I loved seeing your view at the pool just sitting and listening to the birds in the morning. And your niece is so cute!
You always bring us so much BEAUTY! Wherever you are. Your warmth and sincerity shine through snowy landscapes and brilliant sunshine! Just a joy to watch!
I love watching your visits to Portugal! What a beautiful place! Your family is so fun!
Cecilia, Your genuine enthusiasm and gratitude for everything around you is contagious! I love your attitude and mindset. You are such a blessing! 💙🫶🏼
Wow what a change it is to visit mom and dad. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I love how you help your parents stock up their gym it's so caring! I would love to watch more content on your 1/2 marathon run. I look forward to watching your videos each week.
Thanks for taking us along with you on such a wonderful vacation.
I love your Portugal videos. They are so calming and I love the whole vibe in them. It's also nice to see you in a different environment, even though I also looove Svalbard life. Looking forward to the next Portugal and Svalbard video!:D
What an amazing vacation and time with family…priceless ❤
It looks absolutely beautiful there I hope you're having a really lovely time with your family x
Thank YOU, for taking us on your journey to Portugal. The contrast is just beautiful. I live in sunny Queensland, Australia, so share your parents climate...although without those stunning views. I so enjoy listening to you Cecilia, you have a knack of making me feel like a friend sharing your life. Enjoy your return to the two boys in your life 😂
Thanks for sharing! What a lovely home and family.
Portugal is beautiful and your parents’ home is absolutely stunning. I can see why you enjoy going back so often - I can feel such a zen energy from there through my phone.
Such an incredible home! The drone shots of the swimming pool and the white patio.....just wow. I so happy for you to be able to go back and forth between these to gorgeous lands. Your family seems so laid back. Hugs to Christofer and Grim back in Svalbard💥
So wonderful to see you visiting your family ❗ Looks beautiful and your parents home is gorgeous! What difference seeing you in a tropical background.
I'm from CA and that beach and area in Portugal looks Amazing. I think if my parents lived in a place like that I would visit more often! It's wonderful you can visit your sister and have quality time with your niece. Family is so important and we should all visit our families as much as possible. In this crazy world we live in we never know what tomorrow may bring.Enjoy your vacation and best wishes on your run.
I don’t watch your channel because of Savlbard, I watch for you whether you live in Svalbard, Portugal or move here to NYC. You look like you had an amazing time, being in more comfortable weather surrounded by your family and seeing more people. OMG you watch Vanderpump Rules too, I can’t wait for Part 3!
We appreciate your dedication and hard work. God bless you all.
A great video ! Thank you so much .. I felt I was there in Portugal enjoying the wonderful scenery with you and your lovely family !!
I really loved this video and seeing another part of you and you with your family. It is so nice to meet them. Hope you do more like this. Portugal is stunning and suits you too
I'll bet your loving that warm weather enjoy !
This is as close as I'm going to Portugal. Thank you for sharing your vacation with us.
Shout out to Christopher and Grimm,.. they must be missing you terribly. I know I would be.😘Another amazing video as always,... please be safe.
How beautiful is your family's home! Such a lovely escape for you when the polar night is too much.
I live in the US and we have a covering for windows that goes right on the window and blocks the sunlight. It’s mostly used for night workers that sleep days. Perhaps you could look on line and buy some for at least your bedroom window.
You have the best of the worlds that you love! So blessed! Absolutely beautiful countries. Love your videos!
Thank you for sharing that beautiful place!!!!💙 Love it too much!🥰
Such a beautiful change of scenery for you Cecilia!!! I can only imagine how happy & excited your family is that you are there to spend quality time together!!! It is so wonderful seeing you all having so much fun and taking in some warm sunshine!!! I will send some Carolina Sunshine to Svalbard!!! Have a safe trip home and smooch Grim for me!!! Love you girl!!!
Love your family house in Portugal. It looks so majestically warm and I’m loving your videos from there. I’m glad you get to enjoy it from time to time.
Another great video, what a refreshing wave in your life,lovely family ..so beautiful ❤️
I love the Algarve. Watching this was like a mini holiday, thank you Cecilia ❤☀🌊🌴
Sue here: okay, paradise!!!!! 🌴 So so clean and breathtaking - gore - jiss (in your accent lol). Love all your videos and perspective. I'm sure Grim and Kristopher miss you 🥶.
Such a beautiful place. I have always wanted to visit Portugal. thanks for bringing us along.
Great video - so beautiful seeing your parent's lovely space again! ❤
Such a beautiful resort setting!
I’m glad you enjoying yourself! Missed you! ❤
I love how excited You get about the pink sky ❤️
So nice you get a chance to escape the snow and cold! Plus, family time! Enjoy!
Best aunt ever! Thanks for sharing! Fun to see a different side of your life.
Such a beautiful home and scenery:-) thank you for taking us alone, and hope it was just what you needed
I loved watching this video of you in a different location what a gorgeous retreat from the endless winter on Svalbard. It always fascinates me how people enjoy different parts of the World 💞 Portugal looks especially gorgeous!
Your parents home and setting is beautiful and soothing. I would imagine being back in Svalbard must be quite the shocker after the lovely temps and weather in Portugal. But wonderful to be back home too to Christoffer and Grim...
I love all of the stats and fun facts you give through your videos. Loved hearing about your sister’s speed puzzling!
Your videos always make me so happy. You have such a beautiful way to enjoy everything that it is such warm and uplifting ❤
Thanks for sharing your trip and family. Your sister and you look so much alike and your niece is just precious. I’m glad you have had a nice trip home.
We love watching what you do and where you go. Stay in the wonderful snow filled world. Grim wouldn't like all that sunshine.😉
Thank you Cecilia. Portugal looks nice. Blacking out the bedroom window really helps in summer!
I love seeing the contrast between your northern home and sunny Portugal..
Ok Cecilia and hee niece in the water 🤗🤗🤗 so much pure joy 🥰🥰🥰 my most favorite shot in the vlog
What a beautiful place, thanks for sharing. Portugal now on my bucket list 😊
CeciIia, I agree with you! The sky is very beautiful! I am glad you are feeling well and having a great time on your vacation! And I must say that I really enjoyed hearing you sing that little ditty at the end! You really have a very good singing voice!
I love Portugal its one of my favourite places to visit. Your mum and dad has amazing home enjoy the rest of your holiday x
These Portugal videos are my favorite 😊
OMG - you and your sister look so much alike, especially in profile. (Well, it stands to reason, of course). That's so cool that your parents got their home before the prices soared. What a gorgeous area! After your description of Portugal, I'm sitting here fantasizing winning the lottery, buying a house in that area, and just exploring Portugal (after teaching myself the language).
Wait - why was there a chunk missing from that puzzle? Haha - I love working puzzles! I didn't know there were speed competitions.
Ahaha - the swallows are gobbling up the evening insects. 😊 This time of year, they might also have nestlings to feed. Lots of shopping to do!
Stunning. Thank you for this 16 minute visual escape to paradise. Your niece, is a doll. :)
Cecilia, your parents' house is Gorgeous!!!!! looks sooooo relaxing and peaceful! Too bad Christopher could not make it! Maybe next time. Thx for sharing, loved the change of scenery : }
Thanks for sharing your hols with us, it's sooo beautiful there!!! Just heard the swifts too❤
Whenever I see blue and pink together, I think of you now, Cecilia!! 💙💕
Omg it’s gorgeous. What a very place to be with family . Warm , easy and slow. Just fabulous xx
Your videos are such a pleasure to watch.
Thank you for sharing your life..
Safe travels. 😊😊
Portugal is beautiful. You had the perfect weather to relax. 70s are my favorite.
I think that your life is fantastic and this place just amazing, a paradise!Your parents must be very proud of you as you are really a nice person. Your little niece is also so cute! Thank you very much for sharing❤💚💙
I've definitely added Portugal to my "have to go to" list now! ❤
