Cecilia, can you make videos about different people who live on Svalbard? A day in the life of the vet. A day in the life of a hotel manager. A day in the life of a new mother. A day in the life of a cook.
Yes!!
I love this idea
I would like those videos too.
Great idea!!
I have tons of videos like that on my page including this video where I walk from my house to the bar and stop to talk to some locals!

I can’t get over the “leave your bearded man here while you shop” sitting area 😂
My husband ( who just past away) & I were in Svalbard on a cruise ship just before pandemic. Such a contrast to Florida. Enjoyed seeing this part of the world. His relatives were from Bergen. A nice memory. I hope to visit again. Wishing you health & happiness. Jeanne (retired RN)
I like you
Sorry for your loss ❤️
I'm sorry for the loss of your dear husband. When do think you'll visit Svalbard again? Are you going to try to come during a different season?
I love this channel. The positivity, the aerial shots, the Grimm! Thank you for sharing your life with us Cecilia. It’s truly beautiful. ✨💕
Agree! Cecelia does it all, and with 100% positive attitude. Truly inspiring👍👍👍
I know! I wish my life was like that!!
Love how Grim always acts like he hasn't seen you for 3 months even if it was 10 seconds ago :)
Hahah 😃🥰
My dog does the same thing I think every dog does
For him everything is ALOT better with Cecilia around :)
@@mrdaym Of course lots of cuddles to be had :)
Aloha Hawaii was same during pandemic. Reefs healing, respect for one another everyone wears a mask & many locals still do. Beaches were so nice to go to, no one around. During the height of pandemic you could only go to the beach for exercise, you had to get in the water...food was limited & slow to get anything! We didn't mind, you just make do cause we get to experience things many others will never get a chance to see. Hiking to remote waterfalls my favorite! Aloha 🌼 🌸 🍍 🏄♂️ 🌊
I feel like there’s way more tourists here now than ever before. Hopefully it’ll die down soon. Lockdown was the best because you know it was only locals you’d see. We took our kids to Waikīkī beach for the first time then! We went a few times when Hawaiʻi was closed and I know we’ll never do that again-WAY too many ppl there. 😒
Your channel has been the best find this year!
Thank youuu 😭🧡😍

I understand the difficulty of working at a store you love to shop at! I worked at Anthropologie for several years, and I’m pretty sure all my salary went right back into the store 😂😂
Grim is a sweetheart . Love him. He is the total package. Beautiful, smart and sweet.
Hello from zero degrees latitude on the equator in Ecuador! Very happy I found your channel on a Sunday afternoon. I am fascinated by extreme and faraway places. What a magical place you live in, indeed. I also moved far away from my native Georgia in the United States and have been living in the Andes mountain town of Otavalo, Ecuador for almost 11 years. So "Hola" from one magical place to another with many degrees in between! :)
Maybe it would be good to work the shop once a month or so, get the different perspective, and socialize? It certainly made for a nice video. And it was sweet how Christoffer and Grimm came up to check on you, bring you home. They missed you.
I love rainy, foggy, misty, gloomy days. I'm not a summer person AT ALL. Where I live it's been glaringly bright sunshine, heat, and humidity. I have no desire to do anything but sit on the sofa in front of the air conditioner. Weather like you're having motivates me: it's refreshing, cool, and light. I've had enough of the oppressive heat and humidity and already looking forward to autumn. Thanks for the mood boost.
Hope your headache went away. I used to call them barometric migraines. Definitely love a moody overcast day. It’s a nice break from the heat in NJ. Hugs & love to you, Christoffer, & Grim ❤️❤️❤️
Sitting outside on my deck in NJ right now and it feels lovely.

My kids and I get barometric headaches. It's awful! (Washington state)
@@shannonguevara5896 Mine have lessened at bit as I got older. I used to know a system was coming before it hit the Pacific coast🙈
i get barometric headaches. took me forever to correlate how i was feeling with incoming weather! now i'm the hooman barometer 😄
Watching from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 such great energy, love how each day you’re so appreciative of your environment
Glad to know I’m not the only trini watching this arctic life!
Im watching too from Trin🇹🇹
@@melissamohan8603 yay…I wanna be as excited as she is over there, about the heat over here too 🤣
I think when we live in this hot Tropical climate , it makes us want to go up Svalbard even more.. just to see how it is.
@@trinkim woot wooot
You know how crazy that probably is to people. You’re watching this girl on UA-cam preparing for your trip for months, you finally get there and she’s tending one of the shops you go to.
I could spend all day chilling with Cecilia and love watching these videos to relax, before I go to sleep 😴
Your positive outlook, no matter what the situation, is so refreshing! ❤
I also live in a tourist town (Juneau, Alaska) and we have 3 to 5 cruise ships visit each day from May through September. If you and Christofer ever find your way to the Alaska panhandle for a visit, I would love to show you around my town. After all, I feel like I am getting to know your town quite well from your videos. Thank you for the wonderful photography and the peaceful music you include on your channel. Best wishes.
I am so glad i found your channel. I live in Germany and work in the Logistics there. It is a very stressful Job. Besides the 30min break it's full on work. It's like "go go go"! Which i don't mind, but this and the general culture of "work work work" gets to me. I got diagnosed with Depression 7 years ago and i can feel my mind deteriorate each day. What you are doing, or better where you are living is what i long for, and i would have never known if i haven't found your Channel. Svalbard seems so clean, so serene and it feels like that kinda Home i've never known. Now that i know of it, i got a set goal which i will 100% pursue, so that one day my mind will know peace and "home".
You really are a gem on youtube and I really thank you. Because of you I can now put in words what I missing in life.
ive never related SO MUCH to anyone until I saw you in all black outfit brushing this cream and white dog... dogg fluff everywhere AND you saved it in a bag! i am doing the same thing on the other side of the world right now! :)
We have a Northern Inuit. It is a breed created from husky, malamute and German shepherd. She also sheds twice a year, September to February, and then March to August!
3/7/92 got up at 0500 and saw the MV Norsel steaming down the fjord. So happy I was leaving Svalbad after camping rough for 18 days. Keeping a diary is priceless. Greeting from Australia 🇦🇺
It should be amazing to live there in that extraordinary environment surrounded by the Artic Ocean, glaciers, enchanted landscapes and wild nature. Moreover the weather is so fresh whereas in Italy we are dying of heat. Also your doggie is so nice and tender. Thank you for sharing this awesome video with us.
The first thing you would do in cold weather is wish you had the heat again.
@@verteup Noooooo
If you're having a sad day, just look at Grimm! How could you not smile?😄
I was trying to get an idea of the temperature on the day you went to work I don't think I've ever seen Svalbard without snow. It was fun to see a change in your routine. Hi to Christoffer and Grim. Cheers, Cecilia.
In her travel vlog from a few days ago, she arrived when it was 46°F if I remember correctly.
I just looked up their temps for this week. Seemed to be averaging around 8C
Cecilia you are perfect for a store like that, you are adorable, happy, dress very well and like people, the perfect employee. I hope your family in Portugal is well, I saw Portugal had a spike on the new variant of the crud. Stay safe and healthy.
Grimm is so happy he wags his whole body ❤️🐾🐾❤️
I think it's funny when dogs wag their whole butt and not just their tail
I’m an American expat living in hot Vietnam and your videos are hands-down my favorite escape! I love everything about them and am always sad when they end. And, those black ankle boots are amazing!
I would love to go to Vietnam I'd have to get my passport first I'm from America also
I would die if I walked in and found you in the shop! I'd want to sit and chat with you all day - with delicious coffee of course! :). I love moody misty weather, so beautiful in magical, treasure of Svalbard. Your relationship with Grim is the sweetest. Indeed, how special to live the life you do but you realize this, appreciate and respect where you are and work so hard with Christoffer to have and create your life.
Thank you for sharing a day in your life, it was a lot of fun😊. Hugs to you three🧡🐾🧡
Landscape looks totally different without the snow covering everything still breathtaking
Thank you for sharing your day at work. Grim reminds me of our Golden, Ella. Every time we brush her in certain places she expects treats and we have to be patient too. Lol
I am sure your channel is a big reason why a lot of people want to visit Svalbard now and why they then recognize you! You are definitely Svalbard’s tourism ambassador! 😎
I love that you share your world, Cecelia! It’s fascinating!
Love your videos! I also love your positivity. Thank-you, your videos are always so calming and positive.
Thank you, Cecilia, for the way you bring us into your life. We appreciate your natural and fun way of presenting and keen eye for great shots. Much love to you, Christoffer and Grim. I want to see that sweater!
Thanks for sharing!!! I just love to see your days in Svalbard! Would love to go there and experience that beauty.
Your cozy videos are by far my favorite; especially when there's a beautiful scenic intro. I could never get tired of these types of videos. Grimm and Christopher are always the cherry on top, for sure! 😊
amazing to see the snow free Summer days - even far North - reminds me of my two years in Anchorage Alaska.
Brave woman brushing a fluffy dog while wearing all black! I get dressed just before leaving, don't touch anything (or anyone) and don't sit. When I come home it is reversed. Two cats and one dog are the 'anyone' :) and they manage to shed hair all year!
Our first cruise ship in two years arrived this week, but they went directly onto buses so were not walking around. If two ships come, we can also have up to 7,000 extra people 😐
Cecillia you are so fun to watch! Always so happy to see Grim, just like all of us!! I truly enjoy your videos so much. Keep em going!!❤
Such a beautiful area of the world! Thanks for sharing this with us! Just found your channel and I am hooked
Haven't check in for awhile. Always love the scenery scenes, congrats on another successful day on the edge of the world!😎👍
Good luck on your first day1. You have done your city a service by your beautiful videos, information of the lifestyle, and just a pure delight! Thank you so much. You both are awesome...
What an enjoyable vlog ! Lovely to see you are back at work for a little bit. A nice chilled out video with all three of you 💕🐶👫
I love seeing Svalbard in the summer rain! I feel like we always see it snowy or sunny or both together, but I like this gloomy weather too!
Moody summer’s day! It’s nice to have a break from all the sun. Great video as always!
Hi Cecilia! Awesome to see you - greetings from sunny Florida!
What a treat it would be to meet you at Frost! My BFF was just in Longyearbyen while traveling north on a polar bear expedition. I was so jealous. I’ve been working from home since March 2020 and it has changed so much how I interact in person now with people. I think it’s a global phenomenon. Oh, and lots of Grim time in this vlog. Very nice to see so much of your boy.
Nice video Cecilia,! The scenery is incredible beautiful, as usual, and Grim looks so good! I'd love pet him! I imagine the texture of it fur, so cute!
Keep up the great work with your videos Cecilia, you live in such a beautiful place and your videos are so invigorating and refreshing. I love them.
Love this vlog, Cecilia. Always enjoy seeing the village and all the goings on, and of course Christoffer and Grim. I just brushed our dog out yesterday and it always amazes me how much hair comes out. It truly is insane. Grim was such a good boy and looked so handsome after. ❤️
Your video content is incredible! So beautiful all the things you share. You truly are a talented lady! Thanks for sharing your world with us. Grim🥰
you always put a smile on my face. love to watch your you all , thats for letting me spend the day with you and Christoffer and to the very sweet Grim. sheri g.
Recently found your channel and I've been binge watching your videos. Your channel has been the best find this year! Svalbard is so beautiful and I am dreaming of visiting one day!
I love your channel and started watching all your past videos!!! I love your life!!!
Cecilia, I always look forward to your amazing videos. Love Christopher and Grimm too!
Hooray another video! Best way to start my Sunday mornings. Thanks for all your hard work and I hope to visit this amazing place one day!
Love your videos! And you're right working from home and then going back to an in person job is fun (if you enjoy your job and your coworkers :))
I loved hearing the birds and natural sounds of your world and love when you speak your language to each other 💜 We have had a lot of gloomy rainy weather here in Calgary Alberta Canada. I am hoping it will mean less forest fires this year 🔥
Svalbard always looks fairytale like 💖 so good to see you at Frosts again, hope your headache cleared up really quickly, love to you, Chris and Grim xx
Love your videos. Your life is truly beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I love your videos, the scenery and the absolute calm of life there! I get a daily dose of wonder and relaxation from the views. After spending 45 years working in Los Angeles, now medically unable to travel, at least I can dream of that kind of life and actually see it as if I was there..thank you!
I am so glad I found your channel. Love everything you share and the images of the landscapes are stunning.
Another amazing video Cecilia... Such a Stress Reliever! Big Fan of Yours and your channel.....❤️❤️❤️
Really enjoyed this video. We fly in to Longyearbyen tomorrow and I hope the weather isn’t cloudy and damp. We really enjoy your insights into life on Svalbard
Thank you for sharing your life!❤️I love being introduced to places I never imagined existed! Grimm is precious.❤️
I really like your calm videos. They have such a nice atmosphere and helped me to calm down when I struggle with anxiety. Even when I can't imagine living there :D I cannot handle cold weather and winter well.
GOD MORGON!! Thanks for sharing! What a difference from the winter to the weather, now! Still stunning! Have a great week!
So glad to have stumbled upon your channel!! I love the “leave your bearded man while you shop pace”, I laughed out lot! Thanks for educating us on Svalbard in such a fun and creative way!
♥️♥️ from Chicago, IL
Yes, it was a really good day for you and us indeed! You make wonderful "just a normal day" vlogs. They are by far my favourites 🧡. Kram från Götet!
Cecilia what a lovely upload.. not just visiting with you all but learning, seeing another part of our great big glorious word is so satisfying.. This was such a happy experience. Fun, this was really fun and so are you... 🐕🦌🦈🐋🐦🐧
The scenic views, the Aura and feel of the video is amazing 🧡💙🧡💙🧡💙🧡💙🧡💙🧡
It's night and day experiencing your seasons! From cold, icy, black days, to bright, sunny, warm days. I look forward to the next vid with cool, amazing things!
Another beautiful video Cecilia! 🙌💕💕I love to see Grimm he is such a beautiful and sweet dog 💕🧡❤️thanks for sharing your amazing life with us! 🙏🙏🥰
Recently found your channel and I've been binge watching your videos. Svalbard is so beautiful and it's amazing to see the landscape and how you live there
And I relate so much to the furry snowfall of a shedding dog! My dog has the same coat type as Grim and even daily brushing can't save you 😂 Won't stop me getting more fluffy Northern breeds though, they've got so much character 🥰
Gosh, the shots of you guys in your cabin snuggling Grim.... it just looks so cozy!!!
Oh Grim…..we just love,love you so😘 i must say,the entry of this video is so majestically beautiful…gosh,the drone footage is really a-ma-zing..thank you🥰hope you get better from that headache Cecelia and regards to Christoffer
Thanks for all these video's! I cannot imagine living in this place myself so pretty cool to see your positivism and the the possibilities you create! And I had no clue that Spitsbergen is huuuuuuge!!! ciao from the Netherlands.
So peaceful...this is refreshing to see in such a chaotic world. I am envious.
I love that finally you can go outside without bundling up! ☺️
I’m in love with Grimm, he’s so beautiful ❤️ I only found your channel a few months ago and am going through your past videos which I find so interesting and you’re very amusing to watch lol. What a lovely place to live, very atmospheric and you and Christopher seem very happy there. Hope your channel continues for a long time to come 🙏😊
Hiiii Cecilia ,I am looking forward to ur videos ,it’s so relaxing when I watch ur part of the world and how people live there ,,we are poles apart and life is v different here in ,this region ,,,,it’s always fun to watch you and I love ur surroundings ,,grim is so cute ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love your videos. Just fantastic. Your life looks awesome!
I live on the east coast on Canada and we get lots of fog,as well. I love your videos they are so calming and the scenery is so amazing, I like to,watch your videos on my big tvs so I,can enjoy your photography. Have a great week!
I know exactly what you mean about working a normal job vs from home. I’m trying to find ways to do more in person as I’ve realised how refreshing it is to have a social element to work days.
This is one of my favorite channels! It makes me want to live on Svalbard so bad! I love the serenity it gives off, and my boyfriend (who watches your channel occasionally) and I are planning to come visit at some point! Probably in a few years. Hopefully we'll be able to catch you at the clothing store and say hello :)
I have been watching your channel for a while now. Catching on various things I've missed and keeping up to date. What I notice is that you are so positive about all aspects of your home, the climate, weather, jobs, activities. Every time you describe something it's with words like isn't this beautiful. look at the colours. What a lovely day. Other channels and people can be so negative like oh this is so hot, one person I was watching yesterday was in Mexico and on a boat in the ocean and she said oh the water is so salty Sheesh!!!. To be so positive is such a fantastic trait to have and thank you. It makes me feel better just for watching.
Seeing your videos makes me nostalgic (and excited) for summer. Happy summer days to come. 🌞 Greetings from Alaska!
Hi Cecelia, I wish I was one of the people who saw you in the shop! I would tell you how much I enjoy your videos and love seeing you, Christopher and Grim, I loooove Grim. Hope you have no more headaches. I get them sometimes when the weather changes too.❤🐈
Patty, I thought the same thing when she said that…. Wouldn’t it be fun to sit and have a coffee and talk with her…
Its remarkable how you can make me feel like I am a close friend of you, and your husband. Your way of doing the videos are, well you definitely have talent. Its so interesting to see the daily life with the things that are reasonably similar to regular life in sweden (for ex) and then the things that are very different.I have never been there but I have been in the mountains of Swedish Lapland many times above the arctic circle with a somewhat similar landscape and thats the environment I like most.
I dont know how i found this channel but i absolutely love it!! I live in New York so its so intriguing to see life in a totally different place outside of America....i never knew people lived in these places! The place you worked id love to go to and work....it would be so fun meeting people there! Thanx for the awesome content!🥰💞🙌🏾🫂
I just found your channel last month and love it so thank you.
Just love y’all! I am from a small town in central Arkansas! I come from a long line of Norwegian and Dutch. Plus alittle German and English. So watching your videos feels like a little glimpse into my family. Thanks for always being your cheerful self.
Thank you for sharing your world.
It makes ours bigger.
Lovely drone footage at the end. And I see that the cabin across the road from you seems to be the only one with a driveway. Of course, I already learned from your videos why people do NOT have driveways, which makes the one exception curious.
I go through so many emotions and feelings while watching your videos! I have been watching you for over a year now ( I'm one of the peeps that found you during the pandemic) and am fascinated with your life. There are some similarities with where I live as we also are a remote spot on the planet and suffer from over tourism. I detest the cruise ships! The months when our island was shut down and off limits to visitors was a dream state that I wish had no ending.🥰🌈 I love Grimm so much and always appreciate when he is predominant in any of your videos.💖🐶💖 You are such a good mommy to him! Bless you for taking such good care of him and giving him so much love. He is such a teddy bear! I live vicariously through your videos as I would love nothing better than to have a big cuddly dog such as Grimm to give me sweet love and comfort and in turn give me a sweet creature to receive my abundance of love. Thank you lovely lady for shining your light bright and offering us such an interesting look into life at the top of the world!! 🌎 Aloha from Hawaii!🌈💖💫🙋♀️
Hello from North Carolina, USA! I enjoy your channel very much! Thank you!
Truly Amazing and awesome. I am totally addicted to your videos, Grim and all things Svalbard! Svalbard has been on my bucket list for over 30 years, also Greenland, Nordkapp. I unfortunately, will never go back to Norway or travel to these places but thank YOU for your posts and giving me and everyone a taste of your life and the most Beautiful, incredible, special place at the top of the world
Really nice to have a coffee with you this morning! Overcast here in central California as well.
