Your TH-cam channel really represents the best of what this platform can be! Connecting people from all around the world to such a beautiful and remote place and welcoming us into your world. Thank you!
I absolutely agree because her channel is what is good about TH-cam
This is the best TH-cam channel 💖
Oh very well said Emily 👏👏👏👏👏!!! I agree
Yes! This is somewhere I will never be able to go and I’m experiencing it!
I agree so full heartedly. She brings so much warmth even though she's in one of the coldest places to live
Cecilia, your cabin looks even cozier with the barn doors. You and Christoffer have done such a marvelous job of redesigning and decorating your lovely home.
Thank you so much! 😍😃
The combination of your voice, the scenery and the music make me always feel very relaxed. Thank you.
Thank youuuu! 😍
Same I freaking love her channel
Yes! Her videos are so calming. Perfect to binge right before bed. Thank you Cecilia for these beautiful videos.
Hi Cecilia! I'm in Canada but I grew up in Norway and I just wanted to let you know that your videos have helped ease the "homesickness" I've been feeling and watching them gives me such a feeling of nostalgia and coziness. Thank you for doing what you do and allowing me to return home when watching your videos. ♥
I’m live in Canada also what part do you live in
Red light has the longest wavelength of any colour, so can travel greater distances. When the aurora borealis is visible in lower latitudes (~50 degrees latitude), it often appears as red curtains, wafting in the breeze, due to red having the longest wavelength & thus being able to travel the farthest distances.
That's true, I live on ~55 degrees in Europe, and we can see auroras several times a year here. And they are mostly pink ❤️
Go off Cecelia❤❤❤ your channel is finally getting the attention it deserves !
Thank you so much!! 😭🧡❤️
I prefer to watch your videos in the evening when it's dark rather during the day. It is so cozy thanks to you and I feel like I'm in Swalbard with you ❤
It's so lovely to see that you're still continually amazed by the place you live. I've been to many very beautiful places and sometimes people who lived there had become a little numb to some of the incredible things that were around them and were surprised to see me being so amazed by things that for them had become commonplace. This also made me try to be more actively appreciative of the beauty that is in my own life, even if it seems like my urban European environment is dull in comparison to places like Svalbard. I mean Svalbard is obviously objectively stunning but there is beauty everywhere if you keep your eyes and heart open. :) Wonderful video as always!
Beautifully written 👏
I love watching your videos! They make me feel so cozy, thank you for sharing your life with us!! 💕
Glad you like them! 😍🧡
Cecilia, your channel is a place of peace for all of us living in a crazy world .. and your content is therapeutic and so easy to binge. Fave channel on TH-cam!! You rock ❣️
I always “like” your videos but sometimes I wish I could HUG you! I enjoy everything about your channel and I love how enthusiastic you are about your home, village, life! I’m recommending to everyone on my FB, so they can enjoy this too. Congratulations on continued success!
Omg thank you for answering about "Meet the Locals!" I love that episode with the jeweller and rewatch it. Thank you so much for explaining more about the details of that project, and for your time and consideration for what goes into it. I'd love to be your neighbor, Cecilia - really appreciate you (and what you do).
The quality of your camera and your skill with its settings & color grading are all extraordinary. Few watchers know how difficult it all is. Well done.
My two year old watches your videos with me every Sunday. He loves you and Grim! Thank you for sharing all the amazing scenery you are lucky to live with.
I'm a huge fan of watching movies and TV shows with such a solitary environment as the background for the story. So watching your channel I find it absolutely amazing that people choose to live in such a distant and harsh environment. The natural beauty is incredible. The 2.5 months of pitch dark kind of scares me.
I was just thinking, where’s Cecilia today? And here you are!
Happy Sunday ❤
The video was a little late today! 🙈🙈❤️❤️❤️
I’ve been watching Grim’s birthday party while waiting🙂
@@CeciliaBlomdahl meh! People will wait.
I found you through Kara and Nate visiting you in January. Your life in Svalbard is fascinating to me. I think I could live in Polar nights but I would need more heat in my home! I do not like to be cold in my house and you often say, it’s cold in here. I can dress for the outside cold but need to be warm inside. I’m obsessed in getting caught up on your videos now! Thank you for sharing the beauty around you and inside your lovely home!
I love that you live in this beautiful place and yet you never cease to have such profound appreciation and love for it! Thank you for sharing your world ❤
Honest to God, those sky views are unreal. CGI couldn't create anything as spectacular or perfect. You did an excellent job capturing the beauty and magic.
I can be having the biggest dumpster fire of a week imaginable. Then Sunday night comes and your videos give me the boost I need to take on the coming week. Sending high fives and hugs all the way from Mississippi. Hope you guys are doing great!
I really love that you show us how your sky looks like now, I am completely fascinated by the polarnight and when the light returns, how that begins. It looks so alienating and beautiful ❤
You have no idea how much you and your videos have done to help my calm my anxiety❤
So true! Images of nature, hence “nature therapy”, have the most amazing calming effects on our brains. 🍃
I cannot imagine that anyone watching your wonderful videos and you and Christopher would have anything negative to say at all. If they do, shame on them. You are awesome! I wish I could handle cold weather better cause I would definitely want to visit Svalbard and the village
I would love to meet more locals as well as seeing the town (the grocery store, cafe’s, other stores) more frequently.
Me too!!
Stumbled across your channel and have fallen in love with it! The videos of your days in town, and travelling to nearby places are charming, visually stunning and overall just lovely, full of nice vibes and uplifting. Keep up the great work, thanks and best wishes from Scotland
Awesome! Thank you so so much!
Love your channel! I think a great thing about your lifestyle is that it shows introverts can also have fun and live fulfilling lives (not that you are an introvert lol, but I think introverts would love Svalbard)! ❤️
haha I think I might be a social introvert, is that a thing? haha I think Svalbard is an introverts dream 😍🧡
Yeah, that’s a thing haha! I’m kinda the same way, cuz being by myself in nature is something I love. Although, I do still enjoy company so I’m not isolated 😂
You cleared that one up fast 😂
I already knew it was a thing 😂
Re: the battery question... Maybe people don't understand that while it's far north and cold on Svalbard, it might not be as cold as people are expecting. It gets far colder in Yakutsk for example. Even central Canada is colder.
Hi from central Canada! 👋🏼 Yes every Sunday I check the weather in Longyearbyen and I laugh when I see that we’re regularly 20 degrees colder or more in winter 😂. Except today... sunny, balmy and warm at -8 C and people walking around in just sweaters… saw a guy in shorts climbing over a snowbank! But back to car batteries, if anyone wants more information, we usually only plug in the block heater in the car if there will be a sustained weather event. Otherwise all is good as long as you maintain your car properly!
Cecelia you are such a warm, really honest and generous person. I so look forward to watching your adventures and hearing your story.
Du är så otroligt vacker Cecilia! Så roligt att följa din utveckling och att du har fått ett sånt stort följe senaste tiden!! har varit här sen innan ni renoverade huset och älskar att följa er och era liv 💖
Im in South Africa and I'm absolutely in love with your channel! It's interesting to see the difference climate and lifestyle, would like to visit one day🌨️🌏
Hope you have enjoyed time with family in Portugal.
I'm sure you were missed.
The sky is beautiful. We get something similar in winter here in Canada.
Thanks for the Q&A
I enjoyed your Q&A so much. Also as usual your home looks so cozy.
The pink colored skies, snow covered mountains and beautiful moon looks so tranquil.
Your videos are the best thing about Monday morning for me. Watching them first thing helps me start my week in a positive way.
Thank you for showing us the beautiful sky in your homeland❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Cecilia! Barn door in the back looks great!!!
Absolutely love your channel. Brings such joy to my day!
Interesting QnA. The sky in the beginning of the video is splendid, thanks for explaining this unique phenomenon. Love your content!
I absolutely love all your videos. The way you present all your videos in a calm manner is so enjoyable!!
Thank you Cecilia! Happy to have found your channel and be able to unwind and watch your videos.
Great job, Cecilia!
Hello from Ireland hope your trip to your parents is going well ❤❤❤
Ireland is a sad place rn....All those druggies around , l loved this country now it's a mess 🤧😭
@@protolexis Well l live in rural area in Ireland,and it is becoming bad even here :( l guess that's the "western " way of living... Fast food,drugs, making people to be like zombies... l like the nature but it's not enough to keep me here :/
Love all your videos, Cecilia. Thank you for sharing your adventures!
Very interesting and beautiful video. I love your work, Cecelia.
So perfectly perfect ❤️! I love when it's so fresh and cold that the snow crunches when walked on.
Your videos always make me feel so comforted and relaxed 🖤
We appreciate your transparency all the way. God bless you and keep up the good work.
This is my favorite video you have ever made. And I’ve watched you a lot!! Great video, and I am also excited for meet the locals!
Apparently, I'm binging your channel today! 😃 Really enjoying it!
Perfect video for me...with that fantastic colored sky and answering interesting questions. Thank you!! Love from Bali.
Hello Cecilia. Thank you for sharing your incredible life with us. Many blessings to you and yours
Love your channel! I’ve been watching almost every night lately just to fall asleep! You’re videos are so calming! ♥️ I also watch for the content during the daytime because your videos are so intriguing!
I started watching your videos a few weeks ago and now I’m obsessed. Your videos are amazing to watch. I went back to the beginning and have been watching them all. What a wonderful life you and Christopher have. Thanks for taking us on all your journeys. You make it all look like so much fun. I’m looking forward to seeing more amazing videos. 🌬️❄️🌚🌝🧇☕️
Hi Grim! Hi Cecilia! Loved your Portugal videos. Cannot wait to see your upcoming boating videos and cabin videos. You bring inspiration to so many! Thank you!
Excellent video from beginning to end. Thank you for sharing all the info for people who might want to do something similar. It's a lot of work and we can see that you love this work. Best Tube I've ever seen. Thank you Cecilia. Hugs to Christoffer and Grim💕
I love your filmography. You’re videos are progressively getting better and better ❤
I loved the timelapse of the drive home! That gave me such a great sense of scale of Longyearbyen and what daily commutes must feel like
I have to say when I think of your videos I look forward to the beautiful views, the music and the way they make me feel. You Def nail those.
I just love this channel! So lovely to hear and see a different world from my home state of Maine!
Hello from Plymouth, Massachusetts happy Sunday 😊 so glad to see you🐾 Grim 🥰
Alltså Cecilia din kanal är bara så himla mysig och lugnande' att titta på, jag blir verkligen så glad av dina videos! ♥
I have been following you for over 3 years now, as you know, and I feel like I still learn so much about you every day! Thank you for taking time out of your day to do these videos for us. You truly are a scattering of rayleigh coming down from Svalbard for our entertainment! 🙂🥰💜💜
Marianna
Absolutely love your videos, your world and life is so different from mine, it gives me a break from my life and worries to just “disappear” into your beautiful Svalbard. Have a wonderful week, look forward to the next one😊
Think you would have loved it in Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador yesterday. Our first major snowstorm of the year with 50cm of snow!! Doesn't beat our record of 93 cm in January 2020 (which has been named Snowmaggedon) but it's up there even for us. Love your videos!
The winter pink sky is great, would make a great tourist photo, something to look out for when visiting,spectacular, much love Cecelia ✌️❤️🇬🇧
I love your channel! It is so calming and a good break from a long day of work.
Thank you so much! 🧡
Excellent Q & A!!! Your vlog is amazing. I am 55 years young, and being able to witness the aurora is on my "bucket list".
love your Q+A's and looking forward to another sometime soon I hope
Yet another very interesting episode. The pink sky looks lovely! I hope you had a great trip back to Svalbard!
I've never been to Norway or Sweden, and thus nowhere near Svalbard. But thank you for sharing your experiences and views of Svalbard and Longyearbyen. It's quite lovely and interesting!
I love the joy you present in everything you see and experience. It makes it more beautiful and exciting for me. Such Joie de vivre is contagious. 😊
Stunning colours in the sky ☺️ Glad you're planning more townspeople episodes. Hopefully seeing your carpenter & family in one of them will help others feel less reluctant to participate.
Omg, your dog is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. This is the first video I’ve seen on your channel and I love how open and enthusiastic you are about your hometown.
Always interesting content and so delightfully presented. Your obvious love and appreciation of the beautiful landscape surrounding you is infectious. I took up art classes when I retired and even the skies here in the UK can be interesting and inspirational.
Thank you for your wonderful channel.
This looks magical!!
I never knew your city existed until your channel popped up in my feed. Glad it did! Been hooked ever since. I only wish you posted more frequently haha, but I know balancing life with work is hard enough!
I absolutely loved the Q&A! The light phenomenon at the beginning of the video was beautiful! Such a breathtaking sight. Love seeing fluffy Grim in all his cuteness! BTW, is there any possibility you could make a Grim says HI Keychain? Because I would totally buy it from the online store.
Hey Cecilia,
Thank you for answering my question about weather phenomena on Svalbard! Rayleigh scattering is so beautiful 🥹 I’ve got my fingers crossed that those holographic clouds will appear soon for you! I appreciated the technical explanation of how it works, too. Thanks for keeping my mornings here in France full of adventure-I’m an American living abroad and your awesome videos help me forget homesickness and look forward to exploring more of the world!
You actually had a shadow in the video. Absolutely beautiful to see!!
Your videos give me such a clear idea of what the air must be like , I can almost smell how clear and crisp it must be Cecelia ! That crunching sound of your boots in the snow is so wonderful. I live in the desert in Qatar , so for me , your life sounds really surreal and completely other worldly. Just amazing imagery ..thank you
Loved that intro, wow!😍
4:54 WOW. This is so beautifully shot. !!! Gorgeous. So well done !
Hi Cecilia - really enjoy the vlogs you and Christopher create!
This is just so wholesome, the whole video, just perfection!
@CelciliaBlomdahl annoying scammers up in the comments 🙄🙄
so love your videos! you continued enthusiasm for the beautiful scenery and simple joy in it all is so captivating! as well as your gorgeous photography and editing. your skills are mad!! so question -is Grimm pretty much bilingual? seems to understand Norwegian , swedish and English? agree his babies would be awesome!!
Thank you ! I did not ask a question , but I am so fascinated by your journey from amateur to pro. Your skill level and study have paid off both for yourself and for we your audience. It is a beautiful channel.
New to your channel, your vlogs are my therapy. Your voice and your footage of the island village and your home are super interesting and relaxing ❤
Some of your shots here felt as if walking inside a painting. The sky palette keeps changing so frequently that it's awesome. Wish more of us could stay in such places like Svalbard.
Your polar night footage is so amazing. My favorite
Beautiful, thank you for sharing, and the drive, too! Love to Grim and Christopher.
OMG Cecilia! I know I've said it before, but your videos are amazing. You are a fabulous content creator, and YOU are a big piece of that. Your personality and positivity are infectious!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing a piece of your beautiful world with us!
Thanks for these cinematografic scenes, very much. Fantastic
Hello from 78deg(F) and sunny Melbourne Florida. I am a New England transplant to Florida and watching your videos brings the crispy air and wintry weather I miss. Polar night would not be my cup of tea but it is fascinating to see other parts of the world. The weather phenomenons are spectacular. I watch your videos with the lights off to get the full effects 😁
I just love your channel; your voice, the information, and all the beauty within your lovely part of this wondrous world.
Here from Kara and Nate’s and boy am I glad I found your channel! Loveeeee your videos, thank you for sharing your life and stories…big love from Fiji ❤
I get excited when you upload a new video because you’re really good
I cannot help but smile when watching your videos. Your laughter and zest for life is absolutely contagious. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your life!
Warm (and l mean literally warm!) regards from the Sultanate of Oman.
You have the best videos. So beautiful. Love seeing how people’s lives are different around the world. Such gorgeous views you have. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you so much! 😍🧡
Thank you so much for this video Cecilia! I have learned a lot from you about this magical place. Also, I am a Filipino and I just knew we have Flipino Citizens also living there and I am hoping you can get them in one of your videos in the future. ❤️
Grim always makes me smile 😄
