It's time to check out how the people of Svalbard live! We are doing an apartment tour of a 2.1M nok (200 000 USD) apartment, in the middle of our village Longyearbyen. I also address the fact that everything is covered in snow, because we had a snow storm in september! I hope you enjoy this video, and thank you for being here! 🧡☕️

Just looked up exchange for 2.1 million kroner to USD = $193,019.40. Is this about right? That seems like a great price for the size and phenominal view on a Island with limited homes for sale. She was smart to buy & own VS renting.
@@jansmith3158 Remove your question Jan, unless you do not trust your computer. :)
Owning is usually smarter than renting, and a "gold star" to Cecilia for suggesting the purchase to her friend. 2nd gold star (what teachers would affix to test papers) for buying the bungalo as a year-round house.
I am curious how the town council is to deal with, but I like they have the 6-month residency requirement so as to prevent outside speculators from flipping properties
Which leads me to ponder if she who is loved by so many of us started selling shares in an investment firm, the corporation could buy those fire damaged properties and begin an empire.
I'm going to longyearbyen in January!!!! Cecelia inspires me so much. I'm also a fan of Christoffer and Grim. It's costing me all of my savings but I'm.so happy. Of anyone has any tips I'd be really grateful x
who singd the song in the itro of the video showing lynns apartment ? love it !!
You are an incredible content creator - the channel is top notch with consistent engaging, educational and entertaining content - your editing skills are phenomenal. Christopher’s quiet and introverted personality so perfectly compliments your bubbly vivaciousness. Grim and Fenris are just adorable. The Norway chamber of commerce owes you for single handedly promoting this beautiful village to millions of us who had no clue where Longyearbyen was prior to us fortunately fInding your channel - Thank you for all that you do
What you said Sumit Kar. Yes!
Svalbard is in Norway.
@@philhoward4466 my error
@@philhoward4466 corrected - thank you for that
Wholeheartedly agree. 👍🏻
It was great to see an apartment in the village and hear about the “typical” monthly bills (which are surprisingly cheap). Linn’s apartment is beautiful and the view of the mountains and water are amazing 🤩
I used to live in an apartment complex that had an app for the washing machines and you could check the app before going into the laundry room to see if any were available. I really liked that, I feel a system like that might be nice in Longyearbyen, or anywhere really haha
Oh wow that sounds ideal!! :)
@@CeciliaBlomdahl We also had that at our old apartments and it would give you a notification when the machine was done so you could go get it and make room for someone else to use the machine. I really liked that and it helped out a lot since we had a small washing room and quite a bit of people living there.
That would be so amazing!
So cool! Booking a washer via app would be the next step 😀
That pic of you and linn made me so emotionally happy for some reason. What pure joy ❤
I’m glad no one was hurt in the fire. I hope everyone who lost their home finds adequate housing soon if they haven’t already. Thank you to you and Linn for letting us see her place it’s so nice!
I live in Canada, we do not get 4 months of darkness here, but we do get significantly less sunlight. Most of the time i dread winter but your perspective has given me a more positive outlook. I like your channel thanks for sharing your life :)
Me too. Same 🇨🇦 weather and I also found a lot of help this year in following Cecilia. I'm dealing with the darkness better and choosing to see the coziness.
Thank you, Linn, for allowing Cecilia to show us your beautiful home. Your apartment is actually larger than mine & I live in the states (Oregon). I have found I don't need a lot of space now that my boys are grown, so I sold my house & downsized & am currently looking at building a tiny house because rent in my area is skyrocketing! A one bedroom rents for at least $1,700 per month & it continues to climb. A 14.6% increase has been approved for this year (& we wonder why we have a homeless crisis, ugh). Anyway, I love how bright & cozy your home is & your view is absolutely amazing!! Thank you, Cecilia, for showing us this beautiful property. Your content continues to be amazing & your time is recognized & appreciated. 🥰 Edit- Grim makes me smile everytime I see his sweet face 😊
Snowstorm in September 🤍❄️ Now that's my kind of weather. So beautiful. The apartment is lovely and looks very comfortable and cozy. Love it! Thank you for showing it to us Cecilia. Hugs for sweet Grim 💕
Thank you so much 🤗
Linn's apartment is sooo beautiful! Very nice showing, Cecilia. You'd make an awesome realtor. I hope the people whose buildings burned down are doing ok. Much love from Louisiana.
That view of the rural seaside, crashing waves with snowy weather to boot is just ideal! Since I was born and raised through my childhood during nonstop monsoons, I detest and resent the sunlight/sunshine always, and only feel rainy/snowy weather is “good weather.”
As a native Floridian, where if not the heat, the monsoons and hurricanes, along with any variety of deadly apex predator wildlife is not all that different than Svalbard.
Still, it’s nowhere near as polluted dirty or depressing as America’s supposedly “livable northern cities.”
How nice of Linn to let us have a look around! What kind of work does she do on the boat? I'm so curious about the kinds of jobs on Svalbard. What a fascinating place. But I was not ready to see snow yet! It sure is beautiful, but I'm glad it's only on my screen for now. ;-)
She is the stewardess! 😍
@@CeciliaBlomdahl Cool! Thanks for replying!
Here in America we would call them “HOA Dues” HOA is Home Owners Association. You pay a fee for maintenance in the common areas and the outside of your home. For example, if a pipe breaks it’s your responsibility to repair if it’s inside your house, the HOA if it’s outside.
The more I see Grim, the more I fall in love with him. He’s just the cutest, gentle dog ever ❤️🐶
Keep on posting amazing content Cecilia 😊
I kept hearing Dad shout "Close the door! I'm not paying to heat the whole outdoors!!"
Apartment is lovely 👍
I think Grim was so happy to see snow ❄️🌨️ and run over it 🐾♥️
Thank you for bringing Svalbard into our homes 🤗
I'm watching from Wellington, FL. 3 and a half hours North of Key West. One hour North of Miami. I am in shorts, flip flops, and a tshirt because that is the uniform 11 months of the year. Course, we break out the jeans and a sweater for those "rough" winter days where it dips to a balmy 70 degrees F. Every now and then we get down to almost freezing, but it's rare and usually we break some old weather record from the 1930's.
I grew up outside Boston, MA so I am familiar with long, cold, dark winters but once I moved to S Florida there was no going back. I like being able to take a shower and get dressed and go. No worries about my hair snapping off in the cold. No worries about catching pneumonia. It's bot uncommon to see women shopping in a grocery store holding an infant dressed in a diaper only. Kids go barefoot until they're forced to wear shoes for school. After work you can jump in the car and be at the beach and enjoy 2 or 3 hours of sunlight, or swim in the clear blue water. A lot of people kayak as a form of exercise in addition to biking or running. Though the cities make biking and running paths a priority since the weather makes those popular activities.
The scenery there is gorgeous but knowing myself, living in a place where it stays dark for entire months would make it nearly impossible for me to get out of bed. As soon as my brain realized it's cold and dreary it would fight me to return to sleep. I would certainly be fired from any job for calling in sick so I could sleep! Also, getting dressed in multiple layers and strapping on a pair of heavy boots that need to be removed everytime you step into a building seems like a lot of effort. I have been spoiled by the pleasant weather and the laid back attitude of living in the deep South. I can't fathom not being able to jump in my car and taking in a weekend in Key West snorkeling and reading on a deserted sandbar then going to sleep with the sliding glass door open so I can hear the tiny waves breaking on the shoreline as I drift off to the sounds of grasshoppers chirping and alligators making alligator noises. lol
I absolutely love that first snowfall of the year that really sticks… I live in Buffalo Ny and we just got notified that were supposed to be getting hit with a really big snow storm in like a day and a half to 2 days and I can’t lie im so excited! I love when its a winter wonderland 💜💜
Wow! Did you guys get hit!
We get snow in September in Montana every couple of years and we are thousands of miles south of you. We got 22 inches in the plains a couple of years ago. Much more in the mountains.
I could entirely live in an apartment that size. It would be perfect. Thank you so much for showing it to us.
Glad you like it! :)
Next video, Linn's job!? Would love to hear about her work, how she found it, and what life is like on and off the land.
Oure Building Company, wanted to Build Appartments in Longjearbyen the 2018.
But we where to expansiv.
We normal Build Hospitals or Laboratories in Moduls (Not Containers).
We have Build a Hospital in Kirkenes Finnland.
We from Germany.
Called Cadolto Modulbau.
This unreal view from their house… just wow
The apartment is beautiful I just would have to convert dollars to kroners. I’m so sorry for the families that lost their homes and glad no one lost their life. Thank you Lynn for letting us see the apartment .
Another great episode. Linn’s apartment is just lovely. (I love the high ceilings). Loved the tour And all the interesting info. It’s actually pretty economical to live there. The views of the snow is so relaxing. I could watch it snow all day. Thank you.
Yaay I am so glad you enjoyed it! :)
I love the high ceilings too. Makes me miss my previous apartment that had high ceilings (higher than this apartment) in the bedrooms upstairs. My current one makes me feel like I'm in a box like a mime.
I love it this kind of video!!! It help to understand how much it costs, what you get, how to search and so on... Surely, you can be realtor, your presentation is amazing!!!
That's even look an apartment, is incredible!
I can not tell you how truly AMAZING your videos have been to me since I started watching you YESTERDAY! 😃 I live in the US in West Virginia to be exact. We have all 4 Seasons here and every since growing up here I have simply hated the Winter months with a passion. So much in fact that as soon as I graduate from school I took off to a florida to further my education and made that my home for many many years. After I married we ended back in WV so that our daughter would grow up around her grandparents. My husband LOVES the mountains and me…well I miss Florida and the sub tropic warmth everyday.
We are in Fall now and Winter is approaching quickly so I have really been dreading it. That is until (meeting you Cecilia) 😊 I have been watching your channel and to see how much passion and appreciation you have to see the natural beauty in your extremely cold climate has opened my eyes to what I have been failing to see in mine! Granted our homes are certainly worlds apart and different but your open heart and sweetness has touched my heart and helped me open my mind to see the beauty that I have been missing around me❤️
THANK YOU for your love of life 🥰🤗 I will be watching! Much love to you and your family and of course the fluffiest member Grim 🐕
ps. if I ever have the chance to visit your part of the world I WILL TAKE IT😃 and head straight to the shop for coffee and those adorable polar bear white chocolates 🐻❄️
I love Grimm, he’s so cute and fluffy. Plus I really enjoyed the apartment tour. It was surprisingly very nice.
Thank you for all your hard work.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏🏻
Lin’s apartment is very nice but I really love the coziness of your cabin , it’s such a serene peaceful home .
Snow looks more magical there. Lol
Cecilia, your calling/gift in life is to work with people. You have a *Special* way of explaining things to people making them understand and you do it well with a touch of kindness and class, not everyone can do that... LM
You’re absolutely right! Her editing of such a wide variety of her life is next level and I look up to it.
@@funDAYsmiling I agree, excellent comment... LM
Love seeing a different dwelling in town! It would be really fun to see the cheapest home on Svalbard as well as the most expensive. Does Linn ever AirBnB her apartment while she's away for several weeks?
Grim is so gorgeous - we lost our chocolate lab in lockdown she was 15 - we miss her sooooo sooooo much! another good video, pleased everyone came out of that terrible fire.💗
The apartment was gorgeous and the views makes it extra special. And snow in September…beautiful! I really love watching your videos! It’s my vacation away without leaving my own city (but Svalbard is now on my bucket list!). The skies at any time during the day or night are a showpiece on its own and the little town feel is relaxing and comforting. I enjoy each adventure you takes us all on. Wishing you blue skies for a few more days - they really are spectacular! And as someone whose ancestors came from Norway, I decided to study the Norwegian language. It will come in handy when I finally make it there for a visit!
My high blood pressure and anxiety would love that. But my family not so much. Oh too have the cold to help me. So glad I work in minus 23'c at work.
Hello from Southern California! Love your videos and the changes in weather. We are currently in a drought and under water conservation so our grasses and landscape are brown and dry. It has also been extremely hot and humid this past month. Watching your videos are such a contrast and I enjoy the change in scenery. Wish we could have some of your snow. We need it so badly. Thank you for your video!
Loved your video as always! Sidenote - $195,000 for a 1 bedroom apartment is not cheap no matter which country it is imo!!
Love love love this channel. I discovered it in the pandemic and it kept me grounded to earth, continues to do so. Thank you Cecilia
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ loved this!
Love your snowstorm enthusiasm!
So nice of Linn to let us see her apartment. Very cute!
I didn't know anyone lived like this and I'm genuinely fascinated.
I'm so glad for your snowstorm. Beautiful!
It's so wonderful to see the snow once again
Here for it!!
Oh delight!!!😃 🌧☃️❄️

I got so excited to see snow in September! I love cold, rainy, snowy weather. I've been watching your channel almost every evening, dreaming of moving to Svalbard! Thank you for this content and for giving me a glimpse of the top of the world.

Yay, wow wish we could experience snow like that, it’s rare to get proper snow in southern England. Love your videos and the music you use, soooo chilled 💕
I love watching your joy because of the snowstorm. Its wonderful to be young!
Hi Cecilia, I love this video.
Love the snow!!
Enjoyed this and then seeing Grimm’s little face ! 🐶❤️
Love the editing and I also really enjoy watching your videos! ❤ Not gonna lie, when you started filming the views and the snow storm it made me feel quite emotional. I live in Portugal but originally I'm from Lithuania and I used to hate winter time but watching your videos makes me miss real winter and lots of snow
Impossible not to love Cecilia’s videos.❤🎉
The snow is so dreamy! I loved when you spun around, the happiness in your eyes is so genuine !
A snow storm in September.. AWESOME!!!
Very interesting to see how people live in Longyearbyen! Thanks for sharing this Cecilia! 😃

Cecilia, thank you a lot. You are literally making my day better :)
Your cabin is so cosy, cant think the winter and Christmas is around the corner. 💕 Sending light and love to you and the guys🤟
I always love the music you add to your videos!
Love the channel as I am astronomy geek to see this amazing world.
Linn’s place is gorgeous. I Love it.
Thanks for sharing! I’ve always been curious as to what a common apartment in Svalbard looks like! ❤
Your place is so cozy. I love watching polar night times on your channel....the whole place is so cozy all of the time.
