    Well, last year '23 the first snow in Sollefteå came on the 17th of October and it never left until April, so I am happy to see a bit more of autumn, even tho it's cloudy, it makes the colours pop even more like that. But I am also excited for winter because the leaves are almost gone from the trees and I think nature is kinda ready for winter...

      Hej Guy
      I've been following you from Denver, Colorado and enjoy your video blogs. Your sending positive messages even though it's been a struggle in your new environment. Here in the States, we're struggling with what kind of country we want to be. So, your words of hopefullness and not giving up resonate with me. Keep on trekking!
      Wishing you and our family a successful and speedy transition. Hopefully, in about 2 weeks the USA will have a speedy transition to a new government .🎉

    Prachtige beelden, dat water... het lijkt alsof ik mijn drinkflessen er zo mee kan vullen. Die rendieren of hoe ze dan ook heten.. wauw....mooi voor de camera. Leuk
    gedaan met dat shot geluid.
    Ook heel leuk om te zien hoe jullie studeren, ff een kijkje in het gewone leven is ook zo nice to see.
    Maar joh. Gefeliciteerd met je baan. Wat heerlijk voor jullie. Mensen met gouden handen zijn heeeel hard nodig. Dus Hadassa en jij zijn een golden team. Trouwens je mams kan er ook wat van. Allemaal handy. Dikke knuffel van ons Nico en Christiene en ook van Nick❤

    I drove there during my roadtrip in Sweden!! It's fantastic to be able to re-visit that route through your videos and in a different scenery. I think you got to see it just before the closure. If I remember correctly, the Stekenjokk part closes sometime in October. This part of the road is also super majestic. The vast, open space is almost overwhelming. I love the drone shots you captured there and the photos of the local fauna. I also visited the same waterfalls. There's another one, Brakkåfallet, which has beautiful shimmering stones around the water, though it's smaller than the other two.
    On a separate note, glad to hear the update about work. Especially that you have experience in this field. One problem off the list, so you can focus on mastering that Swedish now. 😄
    Really looking forward to your winter videos from Sollefta and the surrounding area. I wonder if the town decorates for Christmas. Will this be your first full winter in Sweden?
    Ps. Congrats on hitting 1k subscribers milestone!

      Oh yes it’s an amazing road to ride! With so much to see, it’s really fantastic 🤩 Indeed the road closed on the 15th of October so we were there 1 week before 🙏🏼😊 Haven’t seen that many people which was also very nice! It’s so different also with some snow on it i assume, but really magical. Yes the reindeer’s were awesome 🤩 Ahh I don’t think we have seen that one.. next time we will go to that waterfall too 😊 Thanks 👍🏼

    What wonderful shots! Especially the reindeer, I love them. 😍
    I'm also learning Swedish, but I'm not allowed to take part in the SFI course yet because I don't have a personal number. That's why I'm learning at a school via zoom. The teachers are all native speakers and you also learn a lot about Swedish culture and traditions there. I find that very interesting and important.
    I'm glad you've got a job again. Congratulations!
    Best wishes, also to Hadasa (is that spelt correctly?) and your mum. ❤

      You can learn Swedish without personal number so go back and apply again. We applied all without having it at that time and that was all ok 😉
