Du hadde ikke hatt den samme følelsen dersom du bodde i Danmark. Forandringen er jo det som gjør at du virkelig setter pris på å reise hjem. Tenk på det..
The only thing you really talked about was feeling homesick and missing your Danish family. I very much doubt living closer to your family would make you see them much more often and it would for sure not make it feel as special when visiting them as it does now. I am totally sure that you appreciate your family in Denmark much more when living in Norway than you would if you lived in Denmark. And the reality is that Danish winters are not less grey than Norwegian ones, unless you live in north of Norway where the winters are black. Apart from that are only real differences between Danish and Norwegian winters, that the Danish one is a bit shorter with less snow. And if you live on the west coast of Denmark, the winter can be VERY miserable.
I hate the country I am a part of. My government betrayed me and left me to die after coercing us to do something we never shouldve done and yet I managed to survive on my own. Now I am looking for nations that actually care about their people and where people both leave each other alone, but do care for each other when necessary and survival is at stake. From numerous conversations with those from Iceland and Norway, it seems that both the government and the people are like this. I will be visiting both soon to evaluate for myself but on paper they both already meet my requirements. For certain I will leave my country and take all my knowledge and creativity with me. They do not deserve my kindess and skills any longer. Plus I love nature so I am pretty set on either Norway or Iceland
Hi Sara, I’m 30years old, and I’ve lived as a high-payed-expat in 3 different countries (Switzerland, Austria, Netherlands) and I come from Greece. The feeling you describe is always the same, especially with people like you (and me) who place the value of being close to family and friends on the top of their needs and likes. It’s messed up bcs you get spoiled with the good job, the comfort, the quality of living for you and your kids (I don’t have any, good thing you have), but on the other hand you regret everyday for not being there for your beloved parents, and not just feeling comfortable speaking your native language and walk around knowing everything around you. I think the only way to get out of all this is financial independence. You continue on the road you are in, you make investments along with your family, and then you can spend equal amount of time in both places. For me, I’m now back in Greece and thinking to either start a business here (true nightmare due to bad economy and politics, lack of meritocracy, most people are uncivilized, but damn I’m a local…) OR get another job abroad (Norway is the only place I would consider in Europe due to high income and better job market than Switzerland for my sector). But yeah, life is hard I guess, you can’t have it all :) Anyway, I wish you good luck, you seem like a very sweet person ✌️
Thank you for sharing your opinion, I am greatly appreciate you as you spoke up your mind. I am looking forward to begin my life in Norway by next year.🙂
Hi @@sarainnorway , thanks for sharing your thoughts. I imagine the tough part of this is manly due to the hard time you had facing both being pregnant and the building of your new home!!!! According to the experience of your husband and yours what would be the best place/city to live in Norway (I don't mind the cold, but I like wind, beach, clifs going strait into the sea and pure blue sky)?
We currently live in Norway with my wife and two daughters. We are far away from our parents but we had to choose to either risk our lives and the lives of our children and live close to our families or move and live a calmer life. We chose the second obviously and we miss our families but life here is so much calmer and I don't think we want to go back. Your choice is much harder since probably Denmark is as good of a place as Norway but comparing Norway to a poorer country things might not be so.
I dream of living in Norway. I love my country and it's culture, but there is nothing for me here. I yearn to leave and attempt to be happy elsewhere, and I want to live in Norway lore than anywhere else. I hope I can achieve it one day.
Mate, if you are not happy where you are, You will DEFINITELY not be happy in Norway. Dont let propaganda lie to you. I am here 2 years and in general (health sistem, social live, work, if you are foreiner, taxes...). to many things. Norvegians are leaving, foreigners are leaving( i am thinking so). THEY are not happy.
Also money wise, if you are not top 10% earner you will find it very hard. Dond watch ,,happiness analysis'', GDP (can be manipulated). Its all propaganda.
@@milanm403 Nonsense. You write utter nonsense. Make me suspect that you have never lived in Norway. You do NOT need to be a top 10% earner to live a good live in Norway. VERY far from it. You do not even need to be a to 50% earner to live a very good life in Norway. And you claiming that Norwegians and foreigners are leaving is a truth that doesn't say ANYTHING at all. This is true for all countries. The fact is that there is a net increase of people in Norway every year and NOT a net decrease that you make it sound like. But, I guess facts don't matter for someone you like you writing total nonsense. But you enjoy living in your own country. No one is forcing you to live in Norway.
@@milanm403 i like your comment a lot milanm403, it should be in the top search result!!! just to balance out the so called 'propaganda', like it like it
A lot of these places remind me of Wales. In wales there is a word called Hiraeth. It means "a belonging". We yearn for a place where our Family and people and the very landscape hugs and holds you. Small village life though is not perfect. Attitudes can be parochial and people can be nosey. Those of us who leave can feel discomfort with the yearning. We belong now to somewhere we dont belong. But really, could we swap it for a return that would in otherways dissatisfy us? I think we must accept that wether we voyage far or near the voyage has changed us. We are bigger now, hopefully wider in our knowledge and deeper in our own wisdoms having tested outselves. "Oh God, thy sea is so Big and my boat is so small." But having ventured, and survived we are forever changed. And if when we anchor our boat we dont feel quite the way we did in our childhood its because we are no longer a child. We may yearn for that peace in the cradle, but is there anything uglier than an adult infant, or as comical as an adult trying to squeeze fit in a crib? Find your Huga where you can.
Having no people around, i see it a a plus, i value silence and quite peaceful places. And yes winters are tough and long. But in the other hand are more enjoyable for developing new hobbies at home. I moved in several places and i miss all of them because it's natural to remember the positive moments you lived in those places. Surely being separated from family can be sad sometimes,specially when parents get older. But they say ,less is more. So if you can meet your parents two or more times a year that will be a very special and deeper moment in your life.
Your kids ARE your "own family." It sounds like this video has nothing to do with Norway and everything to do with you being homesick and missing your family back home.
I totally agree. Everything she said was about feeling homesick. The reality is that Danish winters are as grey and miserable are Norwegian winters can be. Danish winters can be a bit shorter with less snow, but that is about the only differences.
@@sarainnorway that's what it sounds like to me. I've lived in several different countries, and I've always had the hardest time when I've been missing some other place. Even the most beautiful and perfect country on earth isn't going to solve homesickness. I hope you get a chance to go back for a visit. Maybe that would help?
The struggle she’s describing is relatable no matter the country you are living in away from your family. I would guess that everyone feels this loss to some extent, that we won’t be able to give our children many of the beautiful memories we cherish from our own family of origin. Even if you live in the same place and spend a lot of time with your parents, it’s never going to be quite the same as when you were a kid. Especially because you’re parenting with someone trying to do the same for their childhood memories, too! But it feels more intense when you move away, I think particularly if you didn’t think about this dilemma at the time (maybe you moved before getting serious about starting a family). I’ve been facing these concerns while moving around North America, a long train ride away from my parents, and trying to make a conscious choice. Good grandparents are so important ❤ but so are fundamental rights/respect for women and safety from gun violence🤦🏻♀️🇺🇸🤷🏻♀️ I would love to move to Norway but it is off my list bc of the flights required to go home 🔥🌎🔥
..What does your husband feel? Of course there is nostalgia from own country..does your husband feels sme, when arriving in Norway after being away, like in your parents house? And of course if you visit Denmark in times of the year when it is good weather in Denmark, the memory created in your head, are those sunny days in Denmark.. But your parents have a nice home..and this memory was created on a sunny day.. I don't know.. I see however, many creators in Norway, or Sweden, struggle a bit with the grayness of the weather, specialy on Winter.. I'm from Portugal, and my son is thinking to go to Norway after university, and is great, moneywise, looks to me (even though, he has to save and not having super great life style, or else the money at the end of month, will be the same), BUT, i told him, to think about Switzerland..it is easier to get around by car thru Europe..and better weather.. It depends ! I woekd so much outside, that i wouldn't mind Norway at all..just a cozy home, with time to read and so on.. I think, your kids, will feel about Norway, how you feel about Denmark when you visit your family..But ask your husband, how he feels..
thank you for your nice considerations. its not an option for my man to move - and that is ok. I'm lucky to have grown up a place that I really loved and therefor - miss now.
@@sarainnorway ..i understand it is not an option..what i ment, is asking him, if he has the same feeling when returning to Norway, after visit your family, like you do about Denmark after some time away..
It's very hard. I think about my grandfather, who immigrated to US from Norway when 19 y/o and was only able to go back home once during the rest of his life. That must have been very hard on him, but he was very stoic.
To put it simply: the only reason you feel this way is because once you get comfortable with a place that you’ve been at for years, going back home will feel a certain way because it seems like a new place that you’ve been before and you see the small differences that are there. It makes you think that you want to go back but life is just like that you go to places for long periods and then you go back and that’s now the new place that you wish you could go back because that’s where you grew up, but I see that as, just how everyone is and thinks. Chances are you would think he would want to move back and if you did, you would end up missing Norway because you have been gone for so long. Hard to explain what I mean but it’s normal.
thank you for sharing.. However, its also about sharing memories with the ones I love, sharing my kids with my siblings more, and taking these random visits to them .. :) having dinner on a thursday night etc.
Jeg tror du tenker for mye over dette. Dine barn vil skape gode minner så lenge dere som foreldre er der, og de får jo sett sin storfamilie ofte 😊 prøv å finn roen i deg selv, så vil du nok bli mer sikker på hva som er viktig i livet. Men jeg forstår deg godt, kan ikke være enkelt. Ønsker deg lykke til 😊
As someone from the US this is something I struggle with, I’m finally coming of age, I’m almost done with graduate school and I don’t think I can be happy long term here. The only thing keeping me here is my parents, but they may move back home to Colombia anyways and at that point I mean I guess the road is open. It’s a really hard thing I’m grappling with though.
You are feeling very homesick, that is understandable. However, I must say this video is nothing about Norway and all about feeling homesick. As somebody else mentioned, it seems that you are overthinking things. How about being grateful for your loving husband and healthy children and beautiful new house? You can't have it all. I wonder how your Norwegian husband feels watching this video and listening to you saying "What have I done?" It seems like you are very insensitive to his feelings. I would feel very hurt if I was in his place. You portray an idyllic life that most people would die for, yet you are totally dissatisfied. Maybe you have unrealistic expectations, or maybe there is something else going on. But if you can't be happy living an idyllic life in the most beautiful country in the world with a lovely family and home, maybe you should stop and think what is really going on with you. I lived abroad for 20 years and I missed home very much. I returned because I had nothing to keep me from returning, but if I had a lovely partner, home and kids, I would surely still miss home, but I wouldnt spend my life questioning/regretting my decision, or at least I wouldn't verbalise it so publicly. And if I did spend my time questioning my decision, then I would take a damn hard look at what was going on. Your husband and children are your family now. This is your life and your reality. Appreciate it and make beautiful memories for your children where you are. If not, don't make lengthy videos whinning about it, I was bored after 5 minutes. Sorry but I am unfollowing.
I would like to live in Norway :) I was curios to know if the markets salary matches the country's expenses? What salary should you have to live well in Norway?
I am from Croatia, I am considering coming to Scandinavia, can you share more info about whats the main difference between three countries:Sweden,Denmark, Norway. If I learn one language, would that be valid for all countries?Where are the biggest chances of finding job, finding job with english only, salaries, opportunities etc thank you
Away is good , home is best. And your home is now Norway. Stop to be a dreamer. Its good to get "home" cause you dont has your every day life there. Your children gives a shit in your memorys. They creates theyr own memorys.
I think you deleted my comment because it's not showing anymore. Upon reflection, I think I shared too much and got lost in my melancholy. Please delete it if it's in your moderation queue. Thanks.
Do I love life in Norway? Or do I actually not like it at all deep down.. Watch the video about life in Norway to find out more..
Sara sister help me get a job..cleaning job or any job...please 😔😔

@ I’d love that, thank you so much.
Denmark, Sweden and Norway is very similar (more similar than differences within other countries).
well... to me they are very different, but where are you from?
thx
Calm country and nature beautiful ❤️🎉
Me and my family live in Kristiansand. We are in Denmark as often as possible.
that is wonderful :)
Great reflections on belonging and moving from the familiar to something new. Good luck with the future here in Norway.
