This was a very good video. You have the 'video'-skills... You should instead have started the trip by train from Oslo to Åndalsnes and found your way to Ålesund from there. Then you would have had the opportunity to travel at Rauma-banen which is one of the more spectaular railway lines in Norway.

Hej Cristina, Thank you for the beautiful and interesting video! Your video and narrative makes me want to travel there, immediately 🙂 I'm so happy for you that you did travel alone to fulfil your dream! I've always travelled alone and like it best: you can do as you please... In Scandinavia and most middle European countries there's no reason to worry while travelling as a single lady🙂. And you meet nice people everywhere. I'm looking forward to see more of Norway through your eyes. As you said, trips and activities like that develop one's personality - and experience and confidence;-) What's next on your bucket list, dear?

@@BarbaraHempel-tp8tt Thank you, I am so glad to hear that you enjoy it. Yes, it is safe to travel in alone in Norway for a woman compared to other countries. If you get the chance to travel in Norway, Ålesund-Geiranger is a pretty good spot. Next on my list….I would like to see Loen also, but it will have to be next year, because now I got a job, so I finished my vacation days.

The description of your previous "bosses" in the beginning of the clip made me think "WHAT, 'Murican extortion-like work conditions in Norway"! Do NOT be shy about letting other Norwegians know about who they are and their labor practices, they should be run out of business a.s.a.p! The Norwegians are likely to come down on them like 20 tons of bricks, and drum them out of business. I hope your new job ends up being what suits you.

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!).

From what I have seen, you are attractive, intelligent and a hard worker - but you seem to have some problems with self-esteem. I am unable to properly identify with your situation as I never had that kind of problems, but I am looking forward to following your progress. Don't ask me why, but I have a lot of faith in you eventually breezing through whatever perceived problems you have. The society you live in will certainly not be a hindrance!

I'm a newcomer to your videos and was wondering just WHERE you emigrated from when you moved to Norway. No I know: Spain! Coming from an EU country to an EEC country like Norway is a LOT easier than coming from, say, 'Murica or South America. Still, I'm sure there were unexpected hurdles you had to negotiate. Seeing that you are an attractive woman, I am surprised that (according to the titles of your more recent videos) you are still single in 2024. It must be by personal preference.
@CristinaFilms11 күн бұрын
I moved from Romania to Spain in my 20s , and to Norway in my 30s. I just feel peace being single in this period of my life, after one too many bad experiences I became addicted to my peace. I enjoy it, for now. I will take different actions when the time will come to want different things.

You have mountains with the Sunnmøre Alps, fjords, islands, and the sea. It is the perfect mix for adventure lovers. The city has everything you need: cafes, boutiques, a huge shopping center. You can go hiking as soon as you get off work. There are opportunities for everything: mountain sports, water sports, fishing, or just enjoying the gorgeous views we have.
