    I've dreamed of visiting Greenland since I was a little kid and would look at maps and imagine what it was like. Two days ago I finally bought my plane tickets! Four nights in Reykjavik, four nights in Nuuk. I can't wait!!!

    It's a very pretty but gentle landscape and the snow makes it so soft. My sister went to Greenland a few times and I thought she was silly. I am so sorry for judging. What a beautiful place; & a townhouse with such a view for cheap (we live in California). I did take all her Greenland pictures and books when she passed, now I can see why I wanted them.

    Great video and home. Amazing how a 10 minute video leads to hours of research on the Google. On my virtual drives around Nuuk I am always impressed by the lack of power lines as I always find them somewhat unsightly regardless of the country or city (or the street outside my home.) It was the heating system in your home that triggered my interest. Amazed to discover its a city-wide central heating system, something that I thought was mostly found in big cities with a central plant heating several buildings. That of course led to how the whole infrastructure system is put together there and even more amazed how it along with the power lines are all buried. Many challenges living in artic.

    • @AlexAmasaOlsen
      @AlexAmasaOlsen  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thanks and Im glad the video gave some insights into life here in the cold north.
      Yes, power lines are being dug down, as well as water, sewage and district heating pipes. District heating systems are only found where it makes sense, as a lot of single family houses run on oil, but Nukissiorfiit (national utilities company) is slowly investing in district heating infrastructure for areas of economic viability (larger apartment blocs etc).

      Really a question of which country you come from. As people from the EU have easier access permit wise. And if you are looking for a job, make sure you get housing as part of your contract, as especially in Nuuk, the housing market is pretty glowing hot right now.

    Great video. I wish I can travel directly from here (NJ) to Greenland. My dream is to visit one day Greenland. 3 years ago, I travelled to the PH and I flew over Greenland at 5am and it was amazing, I was like 41,000 feet high and all I can see from that far is grey (cuz of the snow and ice) and some mountains, and a beautiful dim sunlight below the horizon. Because the airplane flew into the unhabited interior part of Greenland, all was ice. That part was unforgetable. I still have the images save in my phone. I remember texting to my crush "am flying over Greenland now close to the North Pole!". That was unforgetable. Nice memories.

    HEY Alex, this is the 1st video that I come across about Greenland and so, I live in the USA and I'm looking for a country to move to, I'm looking at Canada, Iceland, Alaska(US), and some Scandinavian countries as well. I am a professional engineer, have you made a video about cost of living, wages for professionals, what do one need to become a resident or a citizen etc. You know, things of that nature. Thx and God bless.

    • @AlexAmasaOlsen
      @AlexAmasaOlsen  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have a video about cost of living, feel free to check it out on my channel.
      In regards to wages as an engineer, you can expect anything from roughly $6k a month, more if you have experience.
      I guess I should make a video about residency in Greenland, but here is a link:

    Are dryers common in Greenland? It saves the space you need for drying your laundry. Not to mention the time.

    What is your LTV? Loan to Value. I was trying to calculate your balance based on your mortgage pmt as you mentioned in your previous video based on monthly living expenses. It must be minimal based on your relatively low payment regardless of record low rates. Renting out 2 of your rooms is a smart idea to afford a nice home. Did you put down a large down pmt? Your mortgage experience would make an interesting video. Perhaps your adjusted gross income as an engineer. Thx

    • @AlexAmasaOlsen
      @AlexAmasaOlsen  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      My loan to value is roughly 80% and had to put a 5% downpayment for the purchase.
      Luckily the house has appreciated since I bought it, which is why the loan to value is lower.
