Living in Norway as a 37 year old single woman. 

Yay! Great video Cristina - how beautiful Norway is in the winter, but diving into the Frozen Fjord is well....insane! Nice job - your videos are getting better and better every time I watch

Hey Cristina, you are on the right track. Just keep going. I took the same turns as you do now and it turned out great. Don‘t think twice.

New sub here and currently binging your videos. The last half of your video spoke to my heart. We will no longer be compromising ourselves or making ourselves smaller for people who don’t deserve us. The loneliest I’ve ever felt has been with the wrong person. I admire your courage, wisdom and adventurous spirit. I’m looking forward to seeing what’s to come for you!

It’s fun to learn about Nordic/Scandinavian lifestyle, thanks for the video! 🇳🇴❤

You are very inspirational for living your authentic lifestyle. You articulate very well the challenges with living within Norwegian society, as well as the many privileges of living in Oslo, which I think is one of the world's most beautiful cities (having visited just once on a a short trip). Glad that you are taking the time and effort to develop your intellectual, career, and spiritual growth.

Great video Cristina. I loved edition 👌 very good way to sell the Beauty of Norway. Good luck and success in this project. 🤘🤘

Your personality is really great! Takes a lot to be positive most of the time even if life doesn't always goes your way! You got yourself a new subscriber! 😊Greetings from the west coast of Norway! 😊

Great video! I love the background music. And doggo so cute and annoying🤣🤣🤣

Hi Cristina, I met you today in Ålesund as I was walking down from Fjellstua. Great videos…Subbed and look forward to your content! 🙌🏼💛

This is so refreshing to listen to . Your message came at the right time . I live on a yacht with my dog . changing for someone is tricky to say least . You are an intelligent woman that is living her truth and obviously have core values. I had to walk away from someone because she is a alcoholic. it’s heartbreaking because they create chaos in one’s life .I love pars of europe but the pacific resonates with me .

Great video, totally relatable topic 🙏

Love this video!❤

Good video, I hope you continue to grow

Yum! Norway. So much good fish! Loved your video! If you’re looking for something to pause and think about life, many people in sailing boats on world trips are always looking for crew. Good chance to see and think…

Omg! I just bumped into you video and I love it. I’m 32 year woman living in Norway too. I was actually living in Oslo(I love it there😍) but had to move because this economy is just something else😢. I moved from Oslo so I could try to save up for the the lifestyle I imagine for myself so, have I managed to save up? Nope! Anyways, I really love your video. And I also subscribed to your channel ❤

As a single 39 y.o. Asian guy, I totally feel you, Cristina! I really hate that kind of corporate entitlement and hectic life. I don't make too much of money nowadays (yet), but that's okay, I still make a living and will have another golden days with my new business. I hope you find your solution! Btw, there's so many fresh water in Norway ya!

Warning, long comment … Whenever you’re down, close your eyes and picture the Cristina that never tried, never dared to make a dream come true. How does she feel? I do that at times; It’s made me put one foot in front of the other and make changes right for me at the time. I then can turn so many parts of my life’s vision to reality. eg. I travelled to Norway last year, alone, as an ex-council estate kid, some would say ‘chavy’ black girl from east London why? because I was curious and simply felt like it. I’ve had bold career changes with no guarantee they would work out (it did), I’ve binned unsatisfying relationships even when other people thought I should be ‘grateful’. I’ve never watched your channel but happy to have stumbled across a bold, courageous, game changer who isn’t afraid to be honest in the moment. Sometimes you may be unknowingly influencing others around you to be more courageous in their own lives. I wish you the best however you choose to live yours.

hello from your neighbor in 🇸🇪 Summer is coming very soon 🌄 Hope you get a super nice spring this year 💖

Great video, great life wisdom! Keep up the good spirit! Greetings from Oslo.

Christinaaa, Good morning from Chania-Crete-Greece!!! You talk right!!! Keep going!!! I meet many Norwegian people every day!!! I am weeding Dj and some days I play music to local hotels here in Chania!!!

I love your content and I also love your personality❤

Loved the video! You'll learn norwegian in no time :)

G'day from Sydney Australia 👋 🕊. Loving your own company means you don't need someone but if it happens you want to be with them not need. Wishing you health & happiness 😊

Hi. Interesting video. What's the busking scene in Oslo, is busking welcomed there and are there restrictions?

Your philosophy is true, I live as you. Peace and freedom is the most important thing for me than everything. Living alone gives peace and freedom. Thanks for videos.

Norway is the most beautiful country ever!!! Love it and will go back anytime!!❤

Good for you ❤ Enjoy your life and your future will bring you the right man. When you are true to yourself. ❤

I lived and worked in Norway in 1983. The very best and most memorable period of my life. I will take those memories with me forever. 😍

Hi, this is the first video of yours I watched and I didn't know you were from Romania until I read it in the comments; because of the way you speak English I thought you were Spanish, and in another video you mention that you left Madrid, maybe you lived in Spain for a long time and it shows in your accent... You seem a really nice person, I wish you all the best from the south of Spain. :)

Hello.Very nice video about life in Norway.What laptop is that at 5:36 ?

You're courageous and lighthearted. May Allaah the Almighty grant you the best things in life.

From one procrastinator to another... just start, no really, just start, I found that forcing myself to start helps a lot. One you've started, you've already started, so there is no point in stopping after you have started!

You go girl !

HEJ! Thanks for sharing! You have such amazing eyes! And such gorgeous hair... Hope you are have a good week!

So good video! And I agree Norwegian winter is not for everyone.😂😂

Good luck on your life search. Don't give up!

Thank u for nice video ❤👍🏻👍🏻 . I wonder if u myb could do youtube info extra abt hvng family/raising kids in norway . Thank u again ❤

I will love to visit u in Norway . I currently live in America

I can feel your struggle, because I found myself many times in your situation. And I can confirm cold water swimming is the best "trip" one can have - getting high without health or legal dangers :D. Hiking and biking also helps, if the water is not cold enough :). I think you're on the best path possible, realising your real worth and acting towards real inner fulfilment. Maybe it will be tough sometimes, but the rewards will be worth it. For comparison, I also opted to rather be single after a failed 24 years marriage, and I work a tough but rewarding freelance job, both financial and self esteem wise. I had the same issues with procrastination, but lately I overpassed most of them. The most interesting fact is that in my darkest moments I found the most valuable help from totally unknown people all over the internet. Some person from the other side of the world can give the best advice and support, knowing there is no chance to ever meet you in this life. Good luck, you open minded beautiful girl, and keep your faith in yourself, because good days will eventually come. And many greetings from Romania :).

Hello all, Hello Cristina! New sub here, I am a medical doctor from Greece, And I would like to move to Norway , in order to continue my medical residency .. I know c1 is required in order to be accepted by the national medical board as a doctor ,so I can be certificated to work as an MD... My question is: Could I work as a doctor or assistant doctor in Norway until I give my language exam ,or I must find other kind of work , (I have no problem doing it.! ) untill I become certificated member my Norway s National Medical Board? In that case How can I find a job as a foreigner??? ( coming from Greece , which is from a country of European union ofc...) I speak English and Swedish (b1 level) Please help. Thank you in advance!

Just added Hunger to my Hamsun book collection to go along with favorites Pan and Growth of the Soil.

As a norwegian who has travelled around a bit, I find Norway the most plentiful country to travel in. It offers everything at a good price. If you travel up in the mountains and suddenly find a shop selling food and supplies, accept that running that place is rather expensive and they just can't offer you bargain prices like in the cities. Also, remember that love is nothing you go looking for, it's something you discover often when least expected. Just being yourself, its often the best strategy.

The icy dip: At least you are doing it the proper Nordic way - go to to the Sauna (or hot tub) until you are uncomfortably warm to the marrow of your bones. THEN you are ready for a cool-down, the icy dip! A quick return to the Sauna is easy and pleasant, returning to a hot tub can be a bit painful and extreme (Icelander here). As for your personal life "struggles" - let your intellect AND emotions guide you. Any decision you make regarding long-term relationships and the begetting of children is a HUGE gamble but the rewards can be huge (been there, done that - TWICE!).

absolutely beautiful woman. I feel ya. I'm 43 no wife or kids just chillin. All my brothers in my family did the standard married with kids thing and none of them are happy so i decided that wasn't gonna be for me. I agree with many of the things you said here about the pursuit of happiness.

Good luck with your journey.. Good to be authentic but good to have an income too. I hope find both... Personally, happiness is getting out of bed because you have something that engages your mind and body. Good to do something constructive in the world..... and perhaps reward yourself with a glass of aquavit afterwards, just a thought! Tusen takk.

I will love to visit u in Norway , I live in America .looking forward to meet u

i feel you sis, dating is tough and i'd also truly rather stay single then but maybe you could join a dancecourse or so! i catch myself a lot just not even trying to meet someone outside, but as long as we know how to say no and try to be safe about it? you're gorgeous btw, and your style to me seems like .. "the scandinavian chique" !

Soon you will reach the magic number. Keep up the good spirit.

You will find what you are looking for. You are vocal. I hope you find what you are looking for. I think you are adorable and gorgeous and will not have any problems with your goals.

Haha! Your friends Shiba Inu is so cute and typical. They're silly little dog/cats, lol! I think your ideas are wonderful, keep it up. We are not so different, you and I. Self respect will fill you up and begin flowing into others lives around you! Those others weren't you're friends if they need you to be certain way, as they see you, to "like" you, they were self serving and you're better off. Way to go! Thanx!

Hey Cristina very nice blog compliments with friendlu regards

I just came across this video randomly, but it strikes me that the only way you are going to have the perfect boss is if you work for yourself. Personally, I find your approach to life a little unrealistic, but that's your choice and it's for you to make it work. Good luck.

Cristina there is absolutely nothing wrong with you, never has been, what you do is simple, follow your inner voice / feeling. You are a born indigo child ( woman) you are away to experience this entire process and learn from it, but above all enjoy it. you are beautiful who you are and don't let people tell you otherwise there don't understand and don't want to understand. you are a free soul keep it that way Enjoy your trip 😘❤ Sometimes our lives have to be completely shaken up, changed, & rearranged to relocate us to the place we're meant to be.🌞🌴 And remember our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate . Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?

The dog was great 😂

Hi Cristina , ooo, how much I understand you about work, dates, ect. Me now 1 year also withiut work - IM HAPPY after all I had at work before. Also no relatiinship long time (counted by years) i rejecting them by myself if i see in the begining smalest red flag. Now i have job offer in Norway and im in huge doubt/ stress😢 what to do, accept Norway or not. But one thing still we need money. And our money savings not endless. Im 41 Girl 😊 Good there are like-minded girls around the world😊

I am 38 years old and I am single too so I found your video !

You're not the one with a problem, others have a problem for normalizing certain lifestyles that end up making you less happy and don't suit everybody. I hope you find a better work place that will make you happy and not limit who you are. And if being single makes you happy then I'm glad, if you want partnership then I hope you find your soulmate

Suggest trying something like an Ottlite if you get S.A.D. It’s also recommended to get some morning sun on the skin, as much as possible. Finding your purpose in life can also help with motivation. I can’t say exposure to the computer and tablet LED light is helpful in the dim light. The long wave blue spectrum light can be harmful to to the optic nerve at the back of our eyeballs. Be careful with your self dialogue. Even the subconscious and symbolic meanings of words (and numbers) can have positive and negative affects. Self awareness and reflection helps us all regulate our emotions. Having a safe environment/person who will be nonjudgmental when we vent emotions is healthy. Be and do. Take stock and judge later. Don’t get too far ahead of the fleeting now. Perceive and understand, form a healthy perception. Try not to be perfect because the imperfections are where our individuality and creativity flourishes

what is about the iranian book? i love the way your videos good luck

Cool video!

There is nothing like being a perfectionist . Idealists moan a lot . I am one. . Procrastination is common . Norway is better than the UK. as immigrants will tell you ! Best wishes Cristina ❤

I will love to visit u in Norway . 5:12 I currently live in America

❤❤❤

Hvor er du fra ? Slovakia? Middle Europe i guess from your accent. Ok. Du er fra Spania?

Hello, im watching your vdeo from Philippines 👉🇵🇭👈

You should come visit Toronto.

You are very lovely in body and in soul! Do you take comfort in Scandinavian culture - Ibsen, Strindberg, Munch, Grieg - does it speak to you? Heartfelt greetings from Germany!

Absolutely adore Flåm and the Sognefjord; and Bergen is very special. As for the rest, I could write a book about all the rights - and wrongs - of what you said, regarding dating and relationships. I'll spare you all that. As for the RU-vid venture, the quality of your video is perfectly fine. That being so, the biggest aspect is marketing. You need 'shorts', Instagram, TikTok, et al, to drive views to the channel. The dating aspect will be a driver, together with travel/location based content. However, dating content will bring with it much hate, too, given some opinions you expressed in the video. It's inevitable, and far more likely the bigger the audience. If you go that route, you'll need a very thick skin! I note this is a month old. How's life going? Procrastinating again? Given up, or got a job, instead? Just interested.

Misogyny ? Even in Norway ? I am from southern Europe and there is still lots of it here but I never expected to hear about misogyny in Scandinavian countries. Wow ! I have visited Norway 10 years ago as a tourist and I loved the nature over there. Very green and wild. Almost like a landscape from a magical fairytale. I did not have time to notice pattetns of behavior towards women however. I'd love to travel to Norway again and explore more. I agree with you on the decision of not compromising your authenticity for companionship. I am the same way and single as well. I have no problem with it. If the right one exists I'll be here. Until then no worries. Life is great even without partners.

Hello 😊 you are from? At you live in Norway and you like natur og fiske/ fishing

I would buy you flowers, thnx for the video, lykke til.

What beautiful tights you have on. Tights can be very beneficial when it is cold outside as well. Hopefully you wear them as layering!

*Great job! Big LIKE 155👍 Ciao happy weekend!😀(New Friend 774 + "🔔")*

I think this has to do with our age. We're finally getting grown up, let's say 😅

What star sign are you ? A wild guess are you a capricorn?

nice :)

Good video and I live in a similar sized apartment but a little less attractive

Shibe! 2:13

Authenticity is a core virtue🫵 Stand your ground lady and you’ll be fine🫵

Totul e o construcție proprie. Iubirea se construiește. Ura se construiește.

Good from Sri Lanka

..3rd video i see from you.. I am portuguese..borned in Germany..but living in Portugal since 10.. I have a son, that surprised me saying, next year is thinking going in Erasmus first job internship to Norway..he is in IT university field..I am glad, but..is so expensive..the weather is definitly different from Portugal and Spain.. I like colder weather..Portugal and Spain, are a "little" too hot..I worked in Ireland 2 years, and later on, driving semi-trucks in Europe.. I was about to emigrate to northern countries..but had an "small accident"...i am "trapped in Portugal"..i am paraplegic.. But i think if my son goes, it will be a positive experience for him..to grow..test himself..and test his relationship with girlfriend..everything...even to help him decide what place is more appealing to him..There are weather wise, more appealing..less extreme weather, but civism is better in northern countries..with so much non-europeans invading Europe, places like France, Germany, Holland, Sweden..are not so appealing anymore, even though, a more moderate weather.. ..about your "existential crisis"..i may comment later..haven't seen all your videos..

Thank God summer is just around the corner, winter in Oslo is HELL 🤡

Worst places to be single: 1. Northern Europe (they only make friends while in kindergarten) 2. Southern Europe (they only meet relatives and family)

Respect Cristina, te consimt aici foarte mult şi într-adevăr înțeleg situatia. Sunt 33, la fel single şi oricum cred în lucruri bune, cu optimism, cît de greu n-ar fi. Dă Doamne să ne ajute şi dacă va fi soartă, ne vom vedea odată în Oslo. Poate chiar şi anul acesta vom fi prietene bune. Eu deja ți-am scris despre acest lucrul vreo cîteva săptămîni în urmă. Ai grijă de tine. Izbândă şi pupici. Multe salutări din Sudvestul Germaniei, Maria 😊

Happiness always live at balance. What is right balance for you, you will (or maybe not) discover through life. But more often than not, people that go too far in either direction, have bigger problems in life. So be careful not to be too "authenntical to yourself". Happy realtionship is always a big balancing act. Not only with prioritising, but also expectations. If you mainly care about your fulfilments and you set high standard for your partner, you are set to be alone, or you will never be truly happy in relationship. If you will not change your atitude against mens, at 37 you will quickly realize, you are the one at the short size of rope. Mens that have value that match your standard aren't interested in women over 40. Instead of picking up partner by your ideal standards, why not youst relax a bit, because that's how you should go into relationship really, listen your hearth instead of brain and go with men that make you laugh, make you feel good. Except he is different than you(every man and women are) and you will need to learn and accept that. If you can live in big City in Norway alone, you are financial in good position, so you can really focus on men with god social skills and family intentions. You are beautiful woman, so get you straight until you still have time, leave this modern woman wave thinking behind(which is very damaging for society) and learn to forgive your partner for things that are not important for relationship. Good luck.

Hey you are beautiful 😍❤️😍❤️

Judging by all the enthusiastic comments you've been getting, you shouldn't have any problems getting happily married, lol .. but otherwise life in Norway can definitely be a total nightmare for one who loves sunshine and warmth .. drowning in snow and swimming in ice all year round .. where half the year is eternal darkness and the other half the sun never sets .. NO thanks !! 🤣 Problems finding a good job .. start your own business .. if you're a good listener and strong in personality analysis, become a spiritual consultant or psychological counselor .. older folks for example are often lonely and just need someone to talk to 😉

The legs ❤❤❤

Must have had a great divorce settlement to be able to afford to live in Norway!?

You need some content in life that you could really burn for. Some hobby or whatever. Then procrastination would be no topic. Sadly, not everyone will experience that right away, and settle for kids or a family at first.

Do you want to stay single?

Procrastinating. Day dreaming. Over thinking. People pleaser. Work management nearly always become my arch enemy……..I mean Darth Vader level. Moved to Germany to escape the evil empire, but hey the dark side followed…..who would have guessed. And if you don’t speak the language your reduced to parcel delivery driver. I think I’ve ticked most boxes. Oh no wait. Single with a few good friends and a family that think I’m a failure. So in short doing pretty good!.😊

Did you consider reading about Islam? Give it a try to read the noble Quran. It will answer all you problems.

Let me give you an impression from a 36 year old single man on how you appear to your target audience (single men that want family, I guess): Plus: attractive, outgoing, intelligent, has style, seems kind Negative: age, doesn't want to give up anything for him or her family it seems, says she doesn't know what she wants, talks about female oppression etc. (likely a feminist: be careful - no traditional values?), talks about "not wanting to settle" - yet talks about wanting to settle. I don't try to be mean here, you seem like a likeable person and I enjoyed this video, but I just want to give you honest feedback. You seem to me like you want a man that adds to your life, but you don't want to add to his life or have children that take any of your time. A family doesn't work like that. This is a serious conflict. You are near the end of your biological time window to have children, so if you really want that husband and children you should hurry and just look for a normal and good guy and respect him well and he will treat you well and respect you. There are so many good men like that out there and it is hard to understand how women ignore their existence and then complain they don't find good men. Also keep in mind 37 is really really late to be in this position. Even though you are an attractive person you would not be what I would consider as a partner to start a family because we would not have enough time really as a couple and then for some children. So men will likely look for younger women to start a family. You still can find a man for a family perhaps, but you definitely need to rethink your priorities in that case - and hurry. Again, not trying to be mean, but perhaps you can take something from this.

The most unfriendly people in the world....too cold for friends

The lonely cat ladies unite here.

Let's cut the niceties and the BS. You're beyond repair.

Well I see you found the manual on how to make a successful youtube video. Step 1, post a sexy thumbnail that has nothing to do with the video. Step 2, see step 1. Not trying to hate on you but its kinda funny too see how much of a difference it seems to make. Us men are simple creatures 🤭 Anyways good luck on your influencer journey. You seem smart and well spoken so I am sure you can do it.

I will marry you and move there right now, lol.
