I think somewhere in human evolution we hibernated like bears do or close to it. Not that I've ever experienced an actual polar night, but in my minds eye I picture long restful night's sleep without the sounds of urban life. No honking horns, no roar of Harleys, no ghetto blasters, just the peaceful sound of the cold wind outside of a solid cabin and the crackle of a warm fire burning in the wood stove. Walking outside on a calm frozen night and starring into a star filled sky and watching the shimmer of colors that only a gifted few will ever get to observe.

Found your channel yesterday and I’m still binge watching your videos today, there’s just something so fascinating and beautiful but also calming and inspiring about both your life on Svalbard and your videos

As you were pointing to the flyers, I was thinking "I hope she does a video about her nails." Ha! and then you did. Thanks. Your nails always looks so pretty.

Hi to Ekaterina! I worked with an amazing person from Donetsk who had to flee to russia from the war in Ukraine. I'm so happy Ekaterina found herself in a much better place.

Actually very surprised to see a notice written in Thai in Svalbard, had no idea there is a Thai community living up there also. Thanks again for another wonderful video! Something about watching this extremely cold climate is very comforting. Can't wait to hear more about your prints, the test print you showed looks amazing and would look great on the wall :)

Its really interesting to see the prices. In Scotland for two people, we usually spend an average of £300-£350 a month which is about 350-400 USD. We try to meal plan and keep prices down cause the food prices are really high here at the moment.

@susannechakan4939 Жыл бұрын

we spend more than that a month in New York City for food. more like 500 to 600...we do purchase mostly organic so that might be more expensive. But Trader Joes' has less expensive organic food and we buy there a lot.

Longyearbyen is the largest populated area on the territory of Svalbard, located in the high Norwegian Arctic. The settlement is popular as the most easily accessed frontier in the Arctic, and is an ideal base for the greater exploration of Svalbard.

Hi!! I discovered your channel some weeks ago and I love it. Great content, great views. Amazing those "polar nights", It's astonishing the darkness at 3 PM, I would have never imagined! Magical those northern lights above your head and wonderful how you transmit your happiness in such a beautiful place even with such extreme temperatures during winter. Thank you very much for making us participate and for letting us know a place that can be so different from ours.

Thanks for sharing Cecilia. It is so beautiful up there. I have always found beauty in places like this. The desert and the places where you live (I never heard of that place before, so thank you) have their unique beauty.

Dark at 2 pm. With the music and lighting, it looks fabulous! I am not sure I could live like that with no Sun. Kudos to you all. Grim is a star! Great video.
