Great video again!! I think you, your girlfriend and mother are so brave doing this huge move! You are a professional photographer, it shows in the videos...BUT I think you'll have to add something in your channel name so people can find you🤔....something with Nature Photographer On The Move/ Immigration to Sweden in the name? I'm sure that will get you to the threshold of 1000 subs in no time!!! Ps. I started from zero and still have 3K subs and 3-4K views every month despite not uploading for many years. I never earned any money since I don't create the content myself, however it was a fun hobby interacting with people all over the world. Cheers from Göteborg, Katarina

We moved to Sweden over 3 years ago, came here full of ideas and hopes with all money we had. Sweden took all money we had and we ended up with 2 kids on 1 salary. My husband cannot find a job and I do the job I hate. This was not the dream we had in our head. I wish we went somewhere else. The nature here is amazing but the life is unbearable. I wish I listened to the foreigners who were telling us this when we came. But I was too optimistic. We are British and it is very very hard. We hope to be able to move out from here and do something what we enjoy. Good luck, especially with the language.

I never thought about the part of saying goodbye, I only thought about the exciting part of creating a new journey, that is hard part to moving and deff nothing to say sorry about, hopefully your friends and family will be able to visit you after you move and you will have lovely new memories with them in Sweden, I have trouble sleeping with to much light as well, went through quite a few sleep masks, found a good one from mantasleep that doesn't rub on the eyes, might be what you are looking for, but won't help with the stress of moving and thinking too much 😀 For some questions, I am wondering what Swedish wild life are you most excited about finding and capturing pictures of? Would you be brave enough to get pictures of a Lynx or a Bear, if you can find them or does your camera with such a large lens make that possible with out much risk of getting close to them? How far can you be from a subject and still capture what would look like a close up pictures?

I would recommend you to buy a dark rolgordinjen = rullgardin in Swedish, they cover the window better than blinds or curtains in my opinion. Cheaper also.

03:00 While pondering upon my own fantasies and dreams of making a uTube channel, I learned that there are legal restrictions to photographing landscape and scenery in Sweden. This extends to the property of other people, depicting landscape in broad areas, depicting landscape in key areas, depicting landscape that features military facilities, as well as their immediate surroundings, signs on the border of their areas and road signs alerting you to the presence of these installations..! Now, if you don't own the property/if it's part of the public domain, you can reach out to the local authorities (kommun and Lantmäteriet respectively) for information on what is public domain and if it's ok to upload photos or video of certain areas. 03:30 Oh, I'm excited on your behalf too!
