Is this the open questions section?😄 I've got two questions in mind that I'd really like to ask you and Benedikt: 1. Are there any insider tips on landmarks and sights in the eastern part of Norway (and the heartland) that you guys could recommend to travelers? Some time back you already covered Lillehammer and I really love that town but I'm also looking for some more breathtaking sights in nature outside the city and around that area? Any tips? 2. Just a simple one: Could you share your hair routine? I absolutely looove your hair and I was wondering if you also use plant based hair care products or anything in particular you want to mention? Lots of love to you both from Germany🦋🧡 I love love loooove your content with all my heart!🇮🇸❤️
Do you come from a creative family? What else would you create if time and money were no concern? How can we help our kids find their own creative spark?
Kan dere snakke litt om dialektene deres? Jeg elsker når dere snakke norsk i videoene. Er det vanskelig å putter inn subtitles etterpå når du redigerer? Jeg tror det er ganske mange internasjonale folk som liker å hører norsk 🥰 Will you make any 'nature only' videos in the future? With landscape shots, sounds and maybe music? I find those very soothing :) xx Xenia
Hey Maria, i Thank God for your Videos today Cause i am sick at the Moment and watching This is Calming and helps me forget the pain a Little Bit. God bless❤️
I have always loved how the rivers talk to us (if we truly listen). My love of them comes from hiking, working, and kayaking around and in them. Thanks for sharing.
I love your art Maria!! 💚 You're videos are so wholesome and beautiful to watch 😍 I also enjoy the spring cleaning!! You're right, everything feels new and fresh again and the first chilly spring brise blowing through the house, taking away the stagnant winter energy is so lovely! 🥰 I always sing and dance while doing the spring clean 😃
Another lovely video Maria ! I'm sure it won't be long until Bendik returns home, and besides you weren't entirely alone with your cat for company. You have built a lovely lifestyle for yourself, and are very fortunate to have such beautiful places near you for whenever you feel like taking an icy plunge. Thank you so much for sharing it with us by video. Enjoy the spring time. It's a special time of year. Here in England we also have been bathed in sunlight for days, and it seems like everything is suddenly budding and flowering all around me. Keep up your good work.
Thank you Mark. I am now reunited with Bendik in Bergen :-). And yes our cat did not make the title this time, but he for sure kept me company. I feel very fortunate and so happy we made the choice to move here. I am glad spring has reached you too, it must be beautiful where you live during this time. Enjoy
I come from France, and despite everything, I feel the need for more light and warmth. So I understand that for you too, the coming season is a promise in which you can enjoy in advance ! By the way, when you clean the top of your wood stove, choose a stable chair !! Your ice-cold swim in your secret little corner is like a gem for a Nordic goddess. 🧡
Thank you for another beautiful video, Maria. Yes, the gentle sounds of running water in the small creek were deeply soothing to me and my weary heart.
Thank you for the beautiful video! I loved the ice formations and especially the sounds of the water. I have loved listening to that since I was a child. A number of years ago, I recorded the sounds of water running in our back yard in spring. I will have to find that tape and listen again. Thanks for reminding me.
@@Mariaandtheforest Yes we have talked many times on Jonna’s page. We are in the same VIP group. We are part of the small group of VIP’s that interact often together. You, Jonna and few others are my inspiration for our channel. The small group of people we interact with are so awesome. 🙋♀️🙌🏻
It's late here in New York (upstate/not the city) and I have just watched two of your videos and I don't want to stop. You are the most beautiful, intelligent, talented, loving and kind hearted person. I wish I was much younger and had just a tiny bit of your talent. If only I could have seen these videos in my younger day. I also think you are a bit nuts going in the icy water with a bathing suit on. Yikes! You are amazing and thank you for these beautiful videos. ♥🙏💤 I shall watch more in the morning. 💤
❤I just discovered you today and what you do sings a beautiful song to my soul. These past few years have taken much from what we thought we knew of life and your videos gave the best parts back. Thank you
Hello Maria, The sound of the running water always brings peace into our hearts. I have the same kind of stream on my property , the winter is gone and the water is running fast and clean. I always watch your peaceful videos. Thank you. Richard Lake George, NY (Adirondack Mountains of upstate NY)
Hello, hope you are doing well. It was funny to see you starting a project like I do, lol. Now I don’t feel like I’m the only one doing things differently. The sounds you captured are amazing! It really helped me relax. Thank you so much for sharing your videos, I loved them so much. Your home is beautiful. Also, you both make such a lovely couple. Sending many blessings your way 🌻
haha, I am glad there are more people like that. I guess we should just embrace it. So nice that the sounds helped you relax, I might make a long video this spring with only this. Thank you for your compliments, thats very kind
There is something so soothing about the sound and sight of running water, especially with the ice. Mesmerizing, really. The ice falls were magical! Thank you for sharing this with us, Maria.💦💙💦
It’s hard to describe the feeling when a partner is gone for so long for work. I enjoy being by myself and am happy that his career is going well. At the same time he’s my partner and best friend and I love living and doing things together. Det er hyggelig med katten her men det er vist ikke det samme. Nydelig video - som alltid 🥰 Xx Xenia
@@Mariaandtheforest the ability to put film and music together is something common ok. But to be able to capture a feeling, a moment, and make the viewers cry or laugh or feel deep feelings, that is true talent. I get deeply emotional from start to end with your videos. They give me a reminder of what is beautiful in life. Keep up your fire 🔥💃🏻✨the world needs it right now🙌
Glad the sun is returning to your world! When will you start to see wildflowers? I thought the moment when you clarified that a bottle was filled with water and not hard liquor just after saying how you cannot do anything right when you are alone was hilarious.. in a dark way. PS love how the home is coming together!
Yes I do :-) I have made a video about it th-cam.com/video/3_Rw3PmEw_Q/w-d-xo.html I would save this question for the Q&A but then I worried it might get to late, if you wanted to try. I am really glad you like the channel
Ok questions: how old are you & your partner? Where do ya’ll grocery shop? Clothes shop? What are the people like around where you currently live? How do ya’ll market your business traveling to schools? Do you have siblings? Both parents? What kind of home did you grow up in? How did you learn about foraging? Your stove for heat is gorgeous! Is it cast iron? Do you gravitate to female or male friends?
p.s.- how nice you & your friend photographed ice formations together but also enjoyed each other’s company for a couple days! How nice! Yeah, it’s different being alone isn’t it? Cherish where you are in life & share bits of you along the way! Best to you!
Oh, sorry for the questions being delayed. You disappeared from my u-tube Algorithms kept your videos hidden so I am now having to play catch-up w/ your videos. ♥️
Hi Maria! Hello from Canada! I am happy spring is upon us. I too enjoy the nicer weather. My question to you is, why not live in a town where you can be closer to others and amenities but still be able to venture into the woods when you want to? Travelling without a car and being so remote isolates you too much.
Hvaslags kamera bruker du til dronen? Og hvilken drone? Du lager helt nydelige bilder og videoer. Blir alltid inspirert etter å ha sett på filmene dine 🥰!
Flott video som vanlig, mesterlig redigert! Elsker også vårløsningen. Men skal faktisk flytte fra vinteren nå, og det betyr jo at jeg heller ikke får lyden av snøsmelting 🤔 Et spørsmål til deg: hadde du noen store drømmer som barn? Hva tenker du i så fall om dem i dag?
hahaah! "by the way, this is water". Bra du sa det fordi det kunne se ut som du drassa med deg ei flaske med hjemmebrent overalt når du var aleine hjemme😂😂❤️❤️
Any questions for a future Q&A? Ask me anything 🙂

Do you spend time in the Lofoten Islands? It’s one of my favorite places. I’ve never been there but the photos and videos are incredible. ❄️💙
If you could travel anywhere, which will be your 5 top choices and why? 💞🌎
❤...Maria, this afternoon I asked myself about my first time I saw a Valkyrie, so I had to watch at the beginning of this video of Yours...
Hey Maria, i Thank God for your Videos today Cause i am sick at the Moment and watching This is Calming and helps me forget the pain a Little Bit. God bless❤️
Beautiful ice and water footage. Really calming, thank you.
I have always loved how the rivers talk to us (if we truly listen). My love of them comes from hiking, working, and kayaking around and in them. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful and true
Thank you Maria. And the end with this whirling water, was really releasing for my inner tensions, within seconds!
Thank you so much. I think this is a real peace of art!
a bath in ice cold water , I could never do so as you !! Thank you for this wonderful video,for water sounds and showing your clean sweet house .
Its super refreshing 😂. Thank you too, for watching
Your videos do reflect you perfectly: serenity, nature and beauty. Thank you 😊
Thats very kind of you to say, thank you
Absolutely magical! Thank you!

❤...from time to time I need to see a "Valkyrja", a Valkyrie... I have to grab this old video of Yours...
Wow, I am glad you think about it that way :-)
I love the video of the running water and the sound recordings. I can see why you spent hours doing it.
Glad you liked that part

Yes right? Its something about the promise of this season that I enjoy a lot. Haha! Yes my ice palace is the perfect swim spot in the winters
Hello from the US. In NE Ohio we are waiting for Spring. This video...it fed my soul.
Hello! I'm glad to know you felt like that about the video
@@Mariaandtheforest And to you!
Thank you for another beautiful video, Maria. Yes, the gentle sounds of running water in the small creek were deeply soothing to me and my weary heart.

I always enjoy your videos Maria. My husband watched with me tonight and thought you were so enjoyable. 🙋♀️🙌🏻
Thank you, how nice he enjoyed it too :-)

I thought the moment when you clarified that a bottle was filled with water and not hard liquor just after saying how you cannot do anything right when you are alone was hilarious.. in a dark way.
PS love how the home is coming together!

so relaxing. thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching
I love your videos ❤️. I am from Montana, USA. Our spring weather looks similar.
Thank you

Hello Maria, just wondering if you ever make birch syrup? I know that it is made in parts of northern New England. Love your channel.
Yes I do :-) I have made a video about it th-cam.com/video/3_Rw3PmEw_Q/w-d-xo.html
I would save this question for the Q&A but then I worried it might get to late, if you wanted to try. I am really glad you like the channel

Tusen takk, så hyggelig å høre! Jeg skal notere meg dette og svare på det i neste video :-)
Flott video som vanlig, mesterlig redigert! Elsker også vårløsningen. Men skal faktisk flytte fra vinteren nå, og det betyr jo at jeg heller ikke får lyden av snøsmelting 🤔
Et spørsmål til deg: hadde du noen store drømmer som barn? Hva tenker du i så fall om dem i dag?
Tusen takk! Å skal du flytte til varmere strøk? Eller kanskje bare til vestlandet 😝.
Takk for så fint spørsmål, skal spare den til Q&A videoen.
@@Mariaandtheforest til Haugesund;) har du vært der?
@@Mariaandtheforest til Vestlandet;) Haugesund!
Can you write down the Norwegian word you said for spring melting?
Vårløsning :-)
Vilken vacker video! ☆☆♡☆☆ If you were entirely SURE you could not fail, what would you do?!
Ha en fin uke! /Ditte
Takk Ditte! Og takk for et veldig godt spørsmål, den må jeg tenke på!
Ønsker deg også en fin uke
hei, hvor har du studert? flotte bilder
Takk for spørsmål
Hvilket kamera bruker du?
Nikon z6
And by the way this is water 😂😂😂
