How and where did Christoffer and I meet? This is a very commonly asked question! But to answer it properly, we have to go all the way back to where we used to work, Huset. So we did! We head into town and visit our old work place and also the place where Christoffer used to live. I hope you enjoy the video!

To go to a place with 2000 people and still manage to meet your partner - now THAT’S impressive
I think it's quite the opposite!
Very impressive... I am in a country of 200 million people and I haven't found my partner🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha so true
@Me Sook no need for that you bitter lemon
Love this comment! My mom always told me that i have 2300 employees in my company alone since im in manufacturing but haven’t found my soulmate yet! 😂😂
I love videos where we get to see more of Christoffer. He’s such a chill dude with a wickedly low key sense of humor.
They’re really fun together aren’t they?
@@beezer051 indeed!
Agreed!
You really know when he is around.
He’s so quiet!
I have binge watching this channel for days now and I know more about this place than my own hometown at this point 😂 absolutrly love this channel and adore you guys! Your energy is so sweet and genuine and I feel like Im hanging out with a friend when I watch. Wishing you all the best 💖 from the US
Me too!
I'm just starting my binge from this video forward😊😂
You two giggling when you told us you took a second cabin trip together 🥹🥹😂 So sweet.
Christoffer is such a scandinavian man. A man of few words ^-^
Quiet & shy Christoffer brings up the ‘2nd Cabin trip’ !!! So cute 🥰
haha!
The way he blushed was ADORABLE!!! 🥰🥰🥰
I noticed his cheeky smile then too... 😍😁
I've never seen Christoffer smile so much! What a treat!
Cecilia's face when asking Christoffer "So how did we meet?" is equal parts cute and funny 😂
You two are the cutest! Christoffer’s smile when he says about the cabin trip is so pure 🥰
Oh one of THOSE weekends away ;)
So true😊
ANd I think he turned a little bit red...😉
@@kbc1883 He DID 😏
"Then we went on another camping trip..." The way you two started laughing, kind of with this "wink-wink, nudge-nudge" vibe going on, gave me the impression that it was one heck of a camping trip!!
And then "this place have a lot of history"🤣🤣🤣 So sweet both of them
haha was looking for this comment xD
Christoffer looks like a shy but warm hearted Teddy Bear :)
They seem so different in so many ways. I guess that's where the magic of their relationship is.
No wonder why Christoffer is such a great cook! 😁. It doesn’t seem that there’s any age gap between the two of you. Thanks for showing Huset, it’s very interesting how many things happen there.
My husband and I are 10 years apart and it has never been an issue. In fact, his maturity and self assuredness stood out for me. Every best wish for you and the gorgeous Grimm. I love your videos.
Warm hug to Christoffer, he comes across as a wonderful person.
You popped in on "my recommendations" and I've been hooked on your channel ever since. I love where you live, your life, your sweet boyfriend, Grim and Fenris! Before your channel, I had no idea there was an island past Iceland where people lived all year long. I look forward to many more of your videos in the future. Grim is a rock star btw! God bless!
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you enjoy my content! :)
Christopher looks like the strong and silent type. He looks dependable and looks trustworthy. You are lucky to have him. One's an extrovert and the other an introvert. Lovely couple. Lots of love from India
I went to school at huset. 6 and 7th grade. The highlights was when the Russian dance and theater group used to visit and entertain in huset. Lots of good memories
That is so cool!!!
Cecilia, your smile while said..''how did we meet..'' looks so happy.
Warm greeting from Indonesia.😊🇲🇨
I know! That was so cute!
I remember standing at the bottom of those stairs when the mail was handed out. Boy memories are flooding back. I love watching your channel. Thank you so much . You are doing a great job. I am planning to visit again. Live in California now. Life sure is funny
No way, how cool!! :)
I live in California too, plan on visiting Svalbard in the near future!
California is a long way from Svalbard!😊
LOVE Chistoffer’s laugh! ☺️ “Cooking with Christoffer” coming soon? 😉
Very soon! 😍
Looking forward to watch it!!
@@CeciliaBlomdahl ❤️
Yes! The pannbiff looked amazing!
Ohhh! I hope so!
We all have fallen in love with Christoffer! Watch out Cecilia, you’ll have flights full of single women arriving on Svalbard, lol! Handsome, kind and funny-the fatal trio to catch your heart ❤️ Many blessings to you both for your life together 💕
Maybe they can start a Svalbard Singles dating agency, where they recommend all the local available people for visitors to come meet and tour Svalbard together.
I am always in awe of your house near the ocean then now showing where you two met that has been built way back in the ‘50s. Amazing, CB!
It's nice to hear about the history of places and buildings as well as your story ✌🏼
These videos have such a calming effect on me. I think I've said this before but your videos inspired me to start studying travel and hospitality, working in Svalbard being the end goal. Hopefully 😅
I'm so glad you like them! :):) I love that goal of yours, it sounds great!!
I love learning the history of Longyearbyen, seeing the old photos and imagining how life was back then for all those people and their children Thanks for sharing this piece of your lives, interesting to imagine your jobs at Huset and how your paths crossed here and the journey of Cecelia and Christoffer began and so sweet that Grim and Fenris were also at the Huset house , save the waking up Christoffer part, lol!
I think what makes your videos interesting is that there's a yin-yang effect, where the beauty and coziness of life meets the harsh winter and solitude above the Arctic circle.
Christoffer is such a chill stoic gentleman!
That was a lovely story of how and where you all met .......when you go back for dinner it has to be duck cooked in a toasted sandwich maker on a coffee table🦆🥘 for old times sake😂.......So glad you & Christoffer found each other and are soul mates....a nice return to where it all started and to look where you are now.💞🏠 🐶
Thank you for adding some interesting history to your video's
Stay Safe as Always & may the sun, when it returns always shine on you all 🧡
Love your "how we met story". Christopher cracks me up. Hes such a cool laid back guy and you're so bubbly and animated ❤❤
That was so much fun. It was fate the you and Christoffer and Grim all converged in this magical house. Thank you for sharing. Much love.
It was so cute when you started talking about how you met, and then Christoffer started to get the red face 😍
I loved this. I'm so proud of how Christoffer is more comfortable in front of the camera now too. How his face lit up looking round the old room, must have a lot of memories :) xx
I see the thumbnail says 13 year age gap?! You both age so well! My parents are ten years apart and just celebrated their 49th wedding anniversary. Cheers to you and Christoffer for many more years together ☺️
Christoffer is 44 and I'm 32 😃
@@CeciliaBlomdahl that’s awesome, love y’all’s dynamic in the videos, keep up the great work 😁
@@CeciliaBlomdahl omg Christoffer looks amazing!!!! He does NOT look 44! I thought he was your age! You guys are awesome btw as is darling Grim!
I'm 😮 surprised there's an age difference. The chemistry between the two is priceless.
Loved this!! Christoffer turning red when you talked about the second cabin trip was priceless. Much love from Canada ❤️🥰🇨🇦
I love how she is so happy to talk about them getting together!! You can tell she loves him so much!
Gosh a WEDDING up there 🥺 what a dream wow
Love 💕 the happiness and laughter between Cecilia and Christopher.😊
It is so good to see Christoffer smile and laugh! He's a quite a guy! You're lucky to have him Cecilia! Thanks so much for the tour and the history. Cheers from Texas!
The history of Svalbard is interesting and without you I would never probably have heard of it . It's an unusual life you lead Christopher seems to be a quiet chap and I think you have totally changed his life Hes a lucky guy .Age gaps are unimportant age is just a number
I agree with you that he really got lucky. However age gaps are very important. Especially when you get to 70’s and 80’s. If one partner is in 50’s and the other is in 70’s the life is very different. By standard, people start experiencing declining physical and mental health in their older years and often the younger partner becomes a caretaker.!
@@Sarahlee358That's very true but. If the love is true it shouldn't matter
Haha I thought they were of similar age.
When we witnessed the wind it occurred to me that there are no trees to block the wind so it is probably pretty fierce. So cute to see you three revisit your origin story. 😍
Great video. I have so much respect and admiration for you and Christopher. Living in Svalbard is beyond my comprehension. It is so beautiful but I am 71 yrs. and don't do cold and snow very well. Thank you for sharing your lives and your home. One of your videos I watched several days ago. I was speechless and impressed when Cecilia put her rifle on her shoulder whilst walking Grimm. Unbelievable. Never crossed my mind about the polar bears.
Love you sharing Huset with us - and the story of the two of you.
You two are soooo cute together ❤ Christoffer actually blushed when you spoke of how you two met🤗
What a beautiful love story, age doesn't matter as long as you are both happy, and you are. Greetings from the UK. 😁
Thanks for the tour, and for sharing some more of your history together!
It’s so cool learning the history of the building and how it’s changed throughout the years. Thanks 😊
Great Episode! Love the history of the village and the story how you and Christoffer met!
I think it would be fun to do a stint there working for a couple of years. It doesn't seem too hard as they probably always need workers. I bet Cecilia has done great things for tourism too!
That was interesting! I’d be interested learning about his family too. It was great seeing yours in Portugal! That wind coming through with the snow was wild! Amazing fluke of timing, so cool to see!
What a cool building! Thank you for sharing the history of this building. Looking forward to seeing it when we visit this fall.
All your videos are just the best. Thanks Cecilia and Christopher!
Huset is lovely. Thank you for the tour!
Really enjoyed the history tour and about you both. It’s always great to see Grimm.
Det är trevligt att få se och lyssna på hur du/ni har det. Tack
Got my coffee, sitting down, havent watched yet but already know I’ll love this video too! Grateful you’re giving us this peak into your lives, you too are the cutest! 💛
That building is so cool and I love all those old pictures. Would love to see a video of the drive from your cabin into town.
Lovely historical tour. Thank you.
Very nice tour. Memories for you two. Glad you met. Look how far you've come.
Love the old photos and how things changed over the years.
Stay warm and happy Sunday.
Thank you for sharing your life with us. Your little family is loved all over the world!
It's magical. So beautiful. Thank you for sharing your history.🌞
I adore this video! So interesting to see the building and tour it! Thank you for that! Svalbard is just magnificent!
Awww! A love story just in time for Valentine’s Day!!!❤️ We love it! And the history behind the building is amazing!
Love learning about the history of life on Svalbard! Your videos are the perfect blend of personal and historical/informational 😊
Yeey I was waiting for this video! Thank you. And I love when Christoffer tells his storys. Cant wait for part 2.
I love this. Thanks for sharing your lives with us 🥰
I love this video! So lovely to hear about how you two met, and what an interesting place that you worked at with so much history! The story about Christoffer throwing the bucket of water out the window at the dogs was just too funny lol!
Thanks, that was awesome!!! ❤️I love to hear Christopher laugh!
Thanks for showing us Huset, Cecilia. I hope you are also feeling a lot better now the polar night is coming to an end. Best wishes to you all xo
So interesting to see such a unique community. Thank you for sharing your lives with us!
I'm absolutely trilled by this, so much history, só much Life!!! Thanks for sharing!!! 👏👏👏👏👏💯💥💫💫💫💫
I loved today's video! So nice to hear how you and Christoffer met and to learn some history of Svalbard. We had a major snowstorm here yesterday so it looks like I might have a little more snow than even you right now!
I love hearing the history of Svalbard and you and Christopher, excellent video! Thank you for sharing

What a beautiful place and so many happy memories for you two.
Such an awesome vlog. Love all the history of the village and how you two met. ❤❤
A lovely piece of history you have recorded for the future. Lovely to hear how you met and your jobs then.
Can't wait until the dinner! So enjoyed this video and the history of the house and you and Christoffer. I must say that you both look so much happier ... working together - that and Grim are the best for me! Lovely, lovely video - thank you!
So nice. Is great to see how proud both of you are from your past in the town. Is clear that you have a sense of community and belonging.
Ahh I love this one so much! The story of you two is adorable and the fact that Grim was there with you both at the beginning of your journey makes it even more special!!!
Thank you for sharing. I enjoy learning about life in Svalbard! So cool to see where you met! Such great story of ♥️
New video, yay! Enjoyed listening to how you met Christoffer and Grim. The history of Huset was so interesting. You have such a pleasant voice to listen to and Christoffer’s laugh and humor is so cool. So, Christoffer’s cooking book any time soon? Would definitely buy. Sending you three ❤️
Very calming !! Love love it !!
Yes, pls show us the vid when the kitchen is done
Thank you !!!!!
Great video! So nice to see the history and also hear how you met. You two are a great couple and Grim is the cutest!
I love this! You went on a cabin trip and then another cabin trip and now you live in a cabin together
Cozying up to watch your new video while enjoying a nice cup of coffee has become one of the happy things I look forward to. You're such a lovely couple and sweet Grim always brings a smile to my face. 🤍
Hope I can get to visit Svalbard some day. It's definitely on my bucket list! ✨
Loved this video. Seeing Christopher walking around his old place and the post office living room thingy, he started to open up, bet there were some laughs back in the day. Great stuff. Hopefully make my way over even if just for a holiday. Cheers guys, keep them coming!
Baz, London 👍
Love this episode and the history lesson! Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
Love your story. Thank you for sharing Christopher and yourself with us! Oh, and Grim, too!
Love hearing about the different buildings on Svalbard. The vibes there must be amazing! You are an adorable couple indeed! Sending you, Christoffer, & Grim lots of hugs and love ❤️❤️❤️
So wonderful that you got to go back and reminisce. Love his laugh and how you both fit so well together. And I adore Grimm
I love all of your videos! I hope you are feeling better as the deep darkness is starting to loosen its hold.

Great Tour! Loved every minute of it!
Thanks so much for sharing more of your life and the history of Svalbard. Honest, factual and fun presentation. I always enjoy your videos and even more when all three of you are in them.
