Summer in the arctic! Our village has some great views in town, so I thought I would show you five of my favourite photography spots in Longyearbyen! No rifle needed as these photo spots are all in the village area! I live on Svalbard, an island in the arctic, and share videos about my life here!

You are such an amazing ambassador for your Island home- I am slowly learning to love Winter here in Michigan (U.S) thanks to you. I have lived here for 54 years and have always dreaded November through February but you are helping me look for and find joy in the little things like fresh cold air in my lungs and the sound of creaking snow under my boots - everytime I go outside and walk in the snow I now think of you and imagine you walking with me in spirit 🤩 Thank you for sharing your passion for the beauty found in nature all around you ❄️ 🥶 🏔🌬💜

I also prefer exploring on my own, Halve. A tour guide can often talk too much and bore you. Besides, you have more time when exploring alone and are more "in charge" of your trip.

I was wondering whether coming to Svalbard for a couple of months and do my freelance location-independent work from there made sense. This video gave some (positive) answers… So I won’t be stuck inside a B&B fearing polar bears roaming the streets, after all? A video about possible multi-day boat trips would be great. Trips to see wildlife - walruses! - or more remote photo locations.

So interesting! I have an idea for your Christmas wreaths next year. You can collect long grass in bunches then attach them in a circle onto a roll of wire. Maybe they'd make good gifts too. You could even put dried orange slices, cinnamon sticks or other decorations on them!

Hey, just got into your chanel and I'm already loving it. Can I ask you some questions? In anticipation I'm sorry for my English, not my mother tongue. So, what language does people around there speak? Is it english or norwegian? How did you move it to there and how is job market around? I'm still young, and definitely there's a really long way till there, but my impossible dream (that thing you dream while walking to somewhere) is to live there, and have a job there, and spend the rest of my life in a isolated place like that, although I'm probably never going to make it. Anyway, sorry for the disturb, GREAT videos
@CeciliaBlomdahl
@CeciliaBlomdahl 3 года назад
Hi! Thank you so much! Norwegian is the official language in Longyearbyen but we have people from over 50 different countries here. I moved here 5 years ago, from Sweden. Right now due to covid19 our job market is not very good and a lot of businesses are struggling. I would recommend to come here for a visit first if you can, and then decide if it's a place you would like to live :) Svalbard is amazing, and special! :)

Most of the construction right now is for new student housing for the university! The population isn't growing that much, as we have very limited housing available. We have around 50 different nationalities, but about 60% of the population in Longyearbyen is from Norway :)
