Been through this journey. I'm a Brit and now live in a cabin in the woods in Sweden. Always expect to pay a lot more than the asking price. Look for places about 20-30% less than your budget. We paid just over a million for a small cabin with 2 acres of land and only 1 and a half hours from Stockholm

And that was the first and last time they opened the back windows. Back windows are useless; don’t do it.

Yall are the most adorable couple!

You seem like good people and wish you the best of luck. My advice from a new first time house buyer (and as a Swede) myself my advice is to be patient and try to keep up a good mentality about it. It IS emotionally draining to look for a new home and getting your hopes up etc. But being so excited for it and feeling disappointed when losing the bidding war is a good sign that you are on the right track in life. If you would have felt indifferent to the outcome it would have been pointless after all. Also, buying a house is kind of like dating. You rarely end up with the first one you date, and you need to know what you are looking for while having a "plenty of fish in the sea" like mentality (after all, there are thousands of lakes, cosy cabins and great views in Sweden. Especially up north.). As well as having the mindset that no matter the outcome, it is at least a great learning experience and give you a better idea of what to look for and keep in mind for the next time.

You have such clickbait titles and yet your videos suck. Do better.

Oh, millennials, already a bit wrinkled and gray and finally getting excited to be an adult haha. I feel you, I am a millennial too but one of the last ones, from 95', so I'm still in my traveler's mood, but on the other hand I already feel like I need a baby and a house ,but how if I feel like a big kiddo and I think I'l be a teen mom haha

Awww Man! I wanted that house for you two!

In portugal people from India, Bangladesh and Pakistan buy Portuguese passport and driving license with money. Then they go to Switzerland. How it’s possible for a European country let this kind of things to happened! Danger in road!!!

I'm Swedish and also daydream about owning a little house or cabin in the woods. But then i usually come to my senses and remember the darkness, bitter cold, mosquitos, isolation and general costs of maintaining a house. I think i'll stay in my apartment and rent a cabin for vacation instead.

Just intrigued! What visa route are you thinking of for Portuguese or Swedish properties? I have an Icelandic husband and my right to residency in the EU hangs on by his employment contract that’s to the wonderful B-exit 😅

Click bait English 💩 if you dont like our Land simple enjoy feeding the little yin Scottish ❤️

Kayaking in Norway would be AMAZING!

Northern Wisconsin is supposed to be wonderful for wild kayaking.

There is a kayak camping trip just like you described in the USA! It is located in Lake Superior, I believe on the Minnesota side. Kara and Nate took the trip via canoe and it looked amazingly beautiful!

Hey guys! Firstly, a big fat “no way” can I eat tentacles and suckers 🤢. I’ve been told that freshly cooked octopus is bueno!! I don’t know what I’ll do when I catch up with all your vlogs 😧 so keep on filming and educating and making me smile and laugh!! 👏🏻👏🏻😃🍦🍦🥰🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️

I have had bother in England. Never ever, in Scotland.

Ever bin to Finland ? I loved sweden but natur in Finland is even more beautifull. You got to check it out.

England were more forests then, and serwood covered a big part of that ?.

The wisdom at 3:30 is timeless. Ultimately, I think we're bound to get bored eventually in any circumstance. Just look to the ultra wealthy. That's why I think eternal life is more of a mode of being that's infinitely sustainable into the future than an infinite amount of time.

Learned something new. I like the idea of fika too. 10 and 3 snack and coffee.

Made me laugh when you said "I seen a moose drinking a beer and editing videos". That's a clever moose Alex 😂❤

Thinking leaving a property for over 3 months at a time in a harsh winter environment is OK, is something only for young inexperienced naive people.

You guys are so relaxing and fun to watch. Wake up drink my coffee and watch you and your adventures and having Noah in the mix watching him grow up and seeing how great you both are with him makes my day, So sorry you didn't get your house but you will find one maybe better than the last don't rush it. But anyway Stay Safe, Safe Travels and Love and Prayers Always see you in the next video. God has a plan for you guys and maybe that's why you didn't get that house he may have a better place if store for you guys think positive always.

For people thinking of moving, yes houses are cheaper. You need to learn the language, if your one of those Brits that doesn't really want to speak another language and thinks you can just speak English the whole time your going to end up feeling isolated.

Thanks for the mammaries Emma

I normally hate saunas but i bet theyre nice in winter!

I love wildlife and nature but a warm climate appeals much more to me

You would love kayaking in canada. I did a canoe tour on a crystal clear lake and it's an absolute highlight for me. Its such a beautiful country

Love your channel but sadly I cannot subscribe to any channel who partners with Better Help. There is known concerns with BH with just a little research.

This seems so affordable, especially if you had a guest house for family and friends. Smart to try out the little cottage/cabin you're in. I'm wondering if maybe you should come back in winter to see if you'd be comfortable there with all the snow. Gosh it sounds great to me, so affordable and free actually! The anxiety of a huge mortgage if you lived in a city , well that would scare me. That nature is freedom, the cost is freedom, the life there seems like freedom! Freedom to go hiking, boating a safe place to raise a child. Good luck but I really believe in this way if life and hopefully soon I will have a cottage in the countryside too!

Mid-May and there's still snow on the ground.

Very cool and advenurous!

Sweden is a boring cold hell. They are cheap for a reason. Canada is better for you. Something closer to Canada-USA border.

Have you seen to Norway.? It is very similar to Swedwen.

Beautiful spot ill take it

Sweden looks like northern Ontario in Canada. Prices here are higher though.

It's not so much differens in snow and temperature in the winter between Dalarna and the east coast of Hälsingland but the houses is cheaper here in most places and we have the sea and lots of lakes also, so I recommend that you look for houses here also.

Muito bom🎉

New Zealand...........

I freakin love you guys energy and attitude to everything, discovered your channel recently and it's inspiring me to travel.

Hi Alex and Emma, by detours we get the amazing movie from your visiting in Sweden. So many beautiful photos from our little farm and the neighbourhood. Thanks ❤

Everyone hates campervans, they have been attacked in Ireland too, especially the English ones, better stay in your own country.

what is that app that you used to identify the area was not safe?

Should've gone in April/May, best weather of the year.

Norway is the best place for kayaking in amazing nature. We have many awesome spots for adventure kayaking. Just Google and you will see! Feel free to contact me if you find it interesting, maybe I can help 😊

That looks amazing. Good luck for the future.

The colour is down to Humic Acid. I think. West Coast is gonna/must've blown your minds!

There are different rules regarding wild camping at Loch Lomond compared to the rest of Scotland. Please stop being a couple of ignorant fools

Hello @TravelBeans <3 The cabin you were staying at belongs to a very dear friend of mine!!! I cannot believe I randomly clicked on your video and there it was. Me and my now husband, we got married there a year ago, and seeing all the beautiful shots in your video made us have happy tears <3. Have you seen our wedding arch there in the forest by the lake?? I am very happy I discovered your channel today. Lots of Love to your little family xxxx kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r8mGmteTurDPkoU.html - here you will see our wedding spot 😍

Ah so sorry for you guys, my stomach was churning for you too. You did the right thing with the bidding guys, chin up something else will come along and make you all happy.
