    Cecilia, can you make videos about different people who live on Svalbard? A day in the life of the vet. A day in the life of a hotel manager. A day in the life of a new mother. A day in the life of a cook.

    My husband ( who just past away) & I were in Svalbard on a cruise ship just before pandemic. Such a contrast to Florida. Enjoyed seeing this part of the world. His relatives were from Bergen. A nice memory. I hope to visit again. Wishing you health & happiness. Jeanne (retired RN)

    I love rainy, foggy, misty, gloomy days. I'm not a summer person AT ALL. Where I live it's been glaringly bright sunshine, heat, and humidity. I have no desire to do anything but sit on the sofa in front of the air conditioner. Weather like you're having motivates me: it's refreshing, cool, and light. I've had enough of the oppressive heat and humidity and already looking forward to autumn. Thanks for the mood boost.

    Hello from zero degrees latitude on the equator in Ecuador! Very happy I found your channel on a Sunday afternoon. I am fascinated by extreme and faraway places. What a magical place you live in, indeed. I also moved far away from my native Georgia in the United States and have been living in the Andes mountain town of Otavalo, Ecuador for almost 11 years. So "Hola" from one magical place to another with many degrees in between! :)

    I also live in a tourist town (Juneau, Alaska) and we have 3 to 5 cruise ships visit each day from May through September. If you and Christofer ever find your way to the Alaska panhandle for a visit, I would love to show you around my town. After all, I feel like I am getting to know your town quite well from your videos. Thank you for the wonderful photography and the peaceful music you include on your channel. Best wishes.

    I am so glad i found your channel. I live in Germany and work in the Logistics there. It is a very stressful Job. Besides the 30min break it's full on work. It's like "go go go"! Which i don't mind, but this and the general culture of "work work work" gets to me. I got diagnosed with Depression 7 years ago and i can feel my mind deteriorate each day. What you are doing, or better where you are living is what i long for, and i would have never known if i haven't found your Channel. Svalbard seems so clean, so serene and it feels like that kinda Home i've never known. Now that i know of it, i got a set goal which i will 100% pursue, so that one day my mind will know peace and "home".
    You really are a gem on youtube and I really thank you. Because of you I can now put in words what I missing in life.

During the height of pandemic you could only go to the beach for exercise, you had to get in the water...food was limited & slow to get anything! We didn't mind, you just make do cause we get to experience things many others will never get a chance to see. Hiking to remote waterfalls my favorite! Aloha 🌼 🌸 🍍 🏄‍♂️ 🌊

    I have been watching your channel for a while now. Catching on various things I've missed and keeping up to date. What I notice is that you are so positive about all aspects of your home, the climate, weather, jobs, activities. Every time you describe something it's with words like isn't this beautiful. look at the colours. What a lovely day. Other channels and people can be so negative like oh this is so hot, one person I was watching yesterday was in Mexico and on a boat in the ocean and she said oh the water is so salty Sheesh!!!. To be so positive is such a fantastic trait to have and thank you. It makes me feel better just for watching.

    If you don't know already, when you make your Grim sweater, you'll need to mix it with wool or llama fiber so it won't fall apart. Dog hairs don't have the "barbs" to hold together.

    I go through so many emotions and feelings while watching your videos! I have been watching you for over a year now ( I'm one of the peeps that found you during the pandemic) and am fascinated with your life. There are some similarities with where I live as we also are a remote spot on the planet and suffer from over tourism. I detest the cruise ships! The months when our island was shut down and off limits to visitors was a dream state that I wish had no ending.🥰🌈 I love Grimm so much and always appreciate when he is predominant in any of your videos.💖🐶💖 You are such a good mommy to him! Bless you for taking such good care of him and giving him so much love. He is such a teddy bear! I live vicariously through your videos as I would love nothing better than to have a big cuddly dog such as Grimm to give me sweet love and comfort and in turn give me a sweet creature to receive my abundance of love. Thank you lovely lady for shining your light bright and offering us such an interesting look into life at the top of the world!! 🌎 Aloha from Hawaii!🌈💖💫🙋‍♀️

    I loved hearing the birds and natural sounds of your world and love when you speak your language to each other 💜 We have had a lot of gloomy rainy weather here in Calgary Alberta Canada. I am hoping it will mean less forest fires this year 🔥

    Just researched how much it would cost to fly (one way) from Brisbane, Australia to Longyearbyen. Cheapest flights were about $5.5K AUD… Most were about $16.5K AUD. 😱😱😱

      You must not be doing it right then. Never book as one flight right through. Just did a dummy booking Melbourne-Oslo on Qatar return and Oslo to Svalbad return on SAS in October totally $3k. For $16k you'd be flying either business or this afternoon and paying last minute walk up prices

    I know exactly what you mean about working a normal job vs from home. I’m trying to find ways to do more in person as I’ve realised how refreshing it is to have a social element to work days.

    Love this vlog, Cecilia. Always enjoy seeing the village and all the goings on, and of course Christoffer and Grim. I just brushed our dog out yesterday and it always amazes me how much hair comes out. It truly is insane. Grim was such a good boy and looked so handsome after. ❤️

    I’m in love with Grimm, he’s so beautiful ❤️ I only found your channel a few months ago and am going through your past videos which I find so interesting and you’re very amusing to watch lol. What a lovely place to live, very atmospheric and you and Christopher seem very happy there. Hope your channel continues for a long time to come 🙏😊

  • @ruththomas6361
    @ruththomas6361 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love weather like that, too. Where the clouds hide the tip of the mountains like fluffy frosting. We have a lot of days like that here in SE Alaska. I do also love sunny days, but they wear me out after several in a row.
    Love your dog. My vet says huskies and malamutes are very hard to train, and I can see where Grimm is openly (in his own sweet way) defiant when you say to turn around or lay here or get on your back. He has a cute way of saying, "I don't think so."

    Lovely drone footage at the end. And I see that the cabin across the road from you seems to be the only one with a driveway. Of course, I already learned from your videos why people do NOT have driveways, which makes the one exception curious.
