HELLO FRIENDS!! i hope you enjoyed this trip to the Ice Hotel in Sweden (and also our extended hi-jinks trying to actually **get** to the Ice Hotel)!! Our small stint at the ice bar in vegas couldn’t have prepared us for the bone-chilling-yet-very-beautiful rooms that this hotel had to offer. what do you guys think? pretty **cool**, eh? would you go to a hotel made of ice?? and, where should we go next? ☃also - to add on to our disclaimer in the video - "lapland" is not a technically a shared region, it's a general region that spans across a few different countries! sorry for any confusion there!
I’m sorry, but the “hey sweetie, I’m gonna have to borrow a glove to drink this” and safiya’s response of “left or right?” with a smile on her face was just so wholesome and pure. I just love them so much.
Its pretty common knowledge that the hotel gets re-built every year, but the funny bit to me is that they start building it 30 days before the hotel is set to open. Meaning that when you book your room, the hotel you're booking for doesn't even exist yet.
I love how wholesome their relationship is even amongst a stressful situation Tyler's like hey I need a glove and she's like left or right which one that's cute
Safiya I just wanna say I'm so amazed by how calm and accepting you and Tyler were when the snow storm shifted your plans. Even though you had the places booked and itineraries planned (not cheap!), you 2 accepted the outcome, moved on, and still tried to make the new situation the best you could. I strive to have a mentality like yours one day!
@@daniellewinn5774 are you the personal accountant or something? I just think it’s weird to comment on the financial situation of someone that you don’t know.

@@mallorykane2843 Once you're on the far side of menopause, it's great!!! But there were a couple of years where an ice hotel would really have come in handy!

@@MissCaraMint it’s a lot easier said than done. My dad gets very upset when plans change.

For what it's worth: as a long-time follower and a Sámi person, I did appreciate the inclusion of the term Sápmi when explaining what Lapland is, even if it was just a text footnote. For those who do not know, Lapland, and particularly the term Lapp or Laplander for Sámi people (the indigenous people of northern Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia), is derogatory. Lapland being the land where Lapps come from. We prefer to be called Sámi and the land area Sápmi. But the fact that Lapland is still the name of the region geographically is a political issue, and that is unfortunately the name as far as maps are currently concerned. Either way, I do appreciate the attempt at inclusivity. I sincerely hope you guys were able to learn about the Sámi people while in Kiruna and in northern Finland (since I think that video will be about the northern lights?).
I am so impressed with the guy who started that. Not only did he make this desolate place and absolute tourist attraction, but what a niche! Hes a genius
Id argue there's a definite style, but she doesn't limit herself to any one singular niche. its like variety fashion and lifestyle all in one - from a layman's perspective? Idk but I love it all~
no matter what saf does the videos always have so much info and she really goes into detail with everything! my adhd is bad with long videos yet i can always finish one of hers!
completely agree with the other comments, her set style is getting super nerdy deep in sharing the history and details of whatever it is she's doing, which i love
As the video progressed, I kept muttering "but where are the bathrooms?" Imagine my joy when the video got to the part where you discussed that! That looked very beautiful, and very cold!!
As another half-Dane, I just want to say that I totally chuckled when you said you’d only ever stared angrily at Sweden from Kronborg in Helsingør, because I literally did the exact same when I was there, haha. 😄 *for context, Denmark and Sweden have a friendly rivalry with each other*
Friendly?! Denmark still has a law allowing people to hit anyone who walks over the ice from Sweden to Denmark with a stick. Still haven’t gotten over a war that ended in the 1600s. But for real, if anyone from outside Scandinavia dares make fun or threaten them, we band together. It’s like siblings
It's a bummer the weather made you miss some of your activities, but as a Stockholm native it was a lot of fun seeing you guys gallivanting around the familiar streets. Peak moment seeing Tyler appreciate a kanelbulle, honorary Swede status right there :3 And of course always down for a bit of banter with our dear neighbours from the south, who definitely would fail with those cannons since we'd obviously send in the Moose brigade first and send em running in fear.
Safiya quoting the "don't make me sing" SNL sketch while standing on a stage in an ice chapel in a country across the world is somehow the most on-brand thing I've seen
There are already thousands of comments so I doubt anyone will see this, but as an Idahoan, I am sooo excited that the potato Air B&B is on Saf and Tyler's list! 🥔😄 I love this travel series!
as someone who lives in northern sweden and has been to kiruna a couple of times, it’s sooo crazy to see y’all up here - absolutely no one goes here so it’s really cool to see some spotlight on this region :) the ice hotel itself is pretty popular in sweden pop culture as that ”weird” hotel so it’s cool seeing it get spotlighted by y’all too
@@dylantd9189 A lot of that is local tourism though, not foreigners. Since some of the rooms change every year many come back several times.I'm from the county and I've been there a few times
Safiya and Tyler are my comfort content creators. From the main channel, Tyler's channel, Livestream channel, i just love everything they put out! Very well produced and yet feels like I'm just watching a friend on their journey! They're so positive and it just transfers through the screen. I hope they truly have fun and not burned out making contents, coz I'll watch them forever!
I love how you guys talk to each other. Your commentary is so cute and refreshing. Like you're always paying attention to each other no matter what. It warms my heart. Love you both!!
As a Stockholm adjecent Swede, I would say that the ABBA museum, fika, Gamla stan and a ferry is probably the most important things to do in Stockholm so good job! There are a couple of more cool museums and stuff, but with the limited time I would say the essential things were done.
The Vasa museum is so much better than the ABBA museum and I constantly get disappointed that tourists choose the ABBA museum instead of it all the time.
As cool as this hotel is, the cutest part of this video is Tyler calling Saf sweetie when asking for a glove. Sweetest thing ever, I love these two so much.
You can find a similar experience in Alaska at a place called Chena Hot Springs Resort. It’s actually kind of the blend of your last two videos - an ice hotel, an ice bar, ice art, and a huge Hot Spring. There’s even an ice dome. And lots of gorgeous northern lights photography opportunities, too! ETA: just remembered my yt pfp was taken at Chena Hot Springs!
Yes! As someone who lives in Alaska and has visited Chena Hot Springs multiple times, it’s pretty great! But also it doesn’t even compare to this place! Definitely a lot smaller and not as “nice” but an excellent experience for anyone looking to travel in that area. ALSO! A pro is that Santa’s House is less than 30 minutes away in the North Pole 🥲
I used to live close by there. It’s much, much more rustic, (but way, way cheaper as well!) but still REALLY fun! We’d go often, it was a family favorite!
I'm so glad you enjoyed yourselves here in Sweden and that the weather was nice enough to give you at least one night in Jukkasjärvi. Also, now you can use the fact that you missed out on some activities as an excuse to come back whenever you miss the cold, the darkness but also the beautiful nature. If you ever come back I really hope you get to see the soft glowy pink light that envelops the treetops when the sun drags itself over the horizon, if you didn't catch it this time. Now, over to our lovely neighbours!
At first this sounds crazy to adult me but then I remembered growing up in Michigan when I would build snow forts and literally nap out there. It was so relaxing seeing the sky peek through the snow roof, this seems like such a fun experience.
Also, it's super nice that they have the emergency room. With my anxiety, anytime I go somewhere, especially overnight, I always have to have an exit strategy.
Plus here in Michigan we make the kids go outside for recess at school as long as it is at least 15°F outside. So 20°F in a hotel room for sleeping with a nice cozy sleeping bag sounds just fine.
I survived the deadly 2021 Texas freeze that killed 246 people. My place was hovering just below 40 F with no water and I made it about 40 hours before I could get out, so I can't imagine being in a 20 F room for the night--flashbacks! And, edit: I have lived in cold, snowy places before.
@@electric_spacecats -- It's a different situation when you have cold temperatures in Texas, because your houses are not usually built for that. I've read that a lot of your furnaces run on electricity instead of gas since you don't need to use them as often. The pipes in your walls might not have insulation around them to protect against the cold, so it would be easy for them to burst if you don't keep the water running at a trickle in cold weather. And even if you have warmer clothes and winter coats, you're just not used to those temperatures.
I've been there too and the cool thing is that they build it each year from the bottom up but that also means they have to get new artists to make the rooms. So the rooms are different every year, by different artists which are mostly from Scandinavia. When I was there, there was a library art suite, it was soooo cool!!
It depends on the year, sometimes there's a majority of Scandinavian artist, others not. I've been a few times and each time the majority of rooms were created by mostly overseas foreigners.
We visited IceHotel 365 last year, and also took the Ice Carving experience. As You noted, not easy at all. The week before, our teacher/guide had the Crown Princess and her husband as students. They were staying in the Art Suite her brother, Prince Carl Philip designed, The Midsummer room. Apparently her father, The King came to visit without having booked in advance, and also wanted to stay, but he had to leave without staying, since the hotel was fully booked!
Thank you for showing what it is like when your travel plans don't work out! Being a travel agent, it happens! But instead of getting angry over the situation, you both make the most of it!
I’m sorry, I kinda died at both of you shuffling “I gotta pee!” 😂 that’s me down the hallway to my bathroom in winter. A bit of a shame you guys missed out on some of your activities, but the hotel itself is quite interesting! The amount of work that must go into carving and constructing it every year must be monstrous.
omg safiya and tyler are just so cute together!! love watching them travel the world exploring cool places. this travel series has been so much fun to watch
It's not a hotel, but in Poland you can sleep in a sort of underground hostel in a salt mine in Bochnia. We have there basketball field, playroom for kids, salt beach and cafeteria! Mine tour is included in the price. I recommend looking it up, I think it's cool and would fit the theme of this series.
Next time you’re in Stockholm I’d definitely recommend seeing the vasa ship. It an almost perfectly preserved 17th century ship that went down on its maiden voyage without making it out of the harbour And as a Dane, I really appreciated the jab at swedes. We’re always ready, and actually still have a law that it’s okay to hit any swede who walks across the ice on the sea between Denmark and Sweden
Oh yeah, the vasa ship is AMAZING ! I went there during a city trip to Stockholm with a friend and we were mesmerized ! Didn't had the time to do all the floors of the museum but it was awesome !
@@astridhannestad8323 True, but only we in the Nordic family are alowed to do it. If it’s say America or Spain or whatever then you best believe Sweden is suddenly our best friend ever. It’s like siblings.
It is so fun as a swedish person to hear the pronunciations and see places I know from such a big American youtube Chanel that I watch all the time. For some reason swedish people get so hyped by these types of things😅
As an Idahoan, I would be absolutely thrilled if you stayed in our potato hotel and made a vid on that! 😄 I love the whole design of the ice hotel, and the beautiful carvings are just so * chefs kiss * It's too bad you missed out on the other events, but I think the video came out great! I can't wait to see the next vid! 💕
So glad y'all are going through with this extreme hotel stuff! Hope you guys give yourselves some time to rest in between stops though - and spa videos don't count ;)
This is actually such a cool series because these are places I would always be curious about but would probably never have the means to stay at myself, this actually really helps satiate that curiosity in a really entertaining way!
ooo yes i saw one of these on a wacky reality show about air bnb style places in australia. was instant hotel on netflix. the folks that stayed in it were beefing about the dust underground and the flies outside. i would have had a hard time staying there being underground but it was definitely a very unique and interesting area.
Dear editors, could you have the pop ups stay longer so we can read them in time? I keep missing info that I want to read! Actually love this channel and you guys so much! Keep doing what you're doing, you're the only UA-camr that I've watched EVERY single video you've posted!! ❤
You are and have been my safe place for years. Thank you for consistently making content that evolve to just what I like to watch. I hope you know how special you are.
I'm so glad you guys share this because I have rheumatoid issues and it wouldn't be possible for me. But I'm glad you guys enjoyed yourselves and got to show us. Thank you!
The salt hotel in Bolivia is pretty cool. It's a really nice hotel, and it's fun that it's made out of salt. But the salt flat next to it is *spectacular* It's important to go when it's flooded (it floods with just a few inches of water) to get the most amazing experience. The reflection is so perfect and immense, you feel like you're driving for miles in the sky. Seriously magical. It's also important to get a guide! It's very big and tourists can get lost and endanger themselves if they don't have a guide.
i love you guys. you are such down to earth real people and i absolutely love that. there are very few youtube channels that i enjoy and yall are definitely my number one. i constantly have you guys playing in my background or watch as i go to sleep. thank you both for being yourselves on social media. it is so unheard of and so hard to do these days❤❤
Hi Safiya and Tyler, your videos make my days a lot happier. I love seeing all of your adventures and I hope some day I'll be able to do some of the things y'all have done over the years. This is definitely at the top of my list now
Happy you enjoyed it up here. Sleeping in -7 degrees sounds like a dream to me but I'm probably one of the odd ones there. Also I can't get over the pronunciation of Kiruna. Ps. Lingon is indeed amazing.
I think people who live up there are the people that prefere winter over summer 🩵 My hubby moved to Pello last year and has been absolutely hyped about it when no one else down here at the south understands why 😂
@@Ellulellu as someone who lives about 1,5 hours away from the ice hotel, i personally definitely prefer winter over summer, theres so much more to do up here such as snowmobiling, skiing, ice fishing and more, but the summer can also be nice with the midnight sun ☀️
Devilofsweden, sounds like a dream, sounds like early childhood. As a Finn, I did sleep my nap times as a baby in buggy outside. Colder it was, better I slept. Of course mother did not put me outside if it was too cold (like -15 C), and dressed me correctly (warm, but not too warm). Weardly, I have not slept in minus Celsius degrees since I was baby, but I definately should, I think.
Hebrews 12:14 Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. Acts 3:19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, James 2:24,26 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. John 3:16 'For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 3:19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
Omg she has such a cool life and she's so much fun that I'm not even jealous but really happy for her and hubby that they've done so well for so long on UA-cam and avoided the drama and issues that have plagued so many content creators. Kudos to them both and wishes for continued success!
I always love seeing other people experience Sweden, especially when they get to see how beautiful the north is. After watching the video I suddenly wish that it was winter again...
Everything you need to know about Saf’s and Tyler’s relationship… Tyler: Hey sweetie I am going to need to borrow a glove” Safyia: immediately turns around “left or right?” Love to see it!!!
Oh damn that's a great point, I wonder if you HAVE to sleep on your back? Everyone was in all the footage we saw. As a dedicated side sleeper I couldn't do it!
Oh my gosh I love the room you stayed in so much!!! The snail was so cute. (Also that shot of you both wiggling your feet in the sleeping bags made me smile a lot)
As a person who loathes cold weather and is terrified of the power of snow storms, I'm happy to just live vicariously through y'all because IRL i would never
Yeah. I mean, I'm chilly sitting here at 16 C (61 F). I could probably stand to be wearing another layer, but I was just watching a quick video between getting home from dinner and going to bed, and I took off my nice clothes but have not yet put pjs on, so I'm just wearing my dressing gown (bathrobe).
There's no way I wouldn't end up in a wimp room 🥲 I admire you for surviving the night AND getting up in the middle of the night and finding your way to the bathroom without contact lenses. You guys are superheroes, really.
for real. my script is way too high for that. i'd be trying to open walls as though they were doors. on a side note if saf is consistently not taking her lenses out she may look into night and days as they're rated for 30 day and night wear. most comfortable lenses i've worn but i still usually take them out at night. if i sleep in them i'm ok waking up with them unless i'm dehydrated then they can be a bit blurry.
I strongly recommend coming to Estonia! There are very awesome marshes and hiking trails, an underwater old prison complex where you can dive (even at night!), a restaurant with a medieval experience in the capital's old town, and much more! This is where you MUST go!!
I’ve always wanted to travel the world and see things like this. I’m so glad I live in the future and can see these amazing places, even though I can’t afford to go there myself. Thanks, Saf & Tyler for always giving us the best time through your videos! 🥰

Id argue there's a definite style, but she doesn't limit herself to any one singular niche. its like variety fashion and lifestyle all in one - from a layman's perspective? Idk but I love it all~
no matter what saf does the videos always have so much info and she really goes into detail with everything! my adhd is bad with long videos yet i can always finish one of hers!
completely agree with the other comments, her set style is getting super nerdy deep in sharing the history and details of whatever it is she's doing, which i love
As the video progressed, I kept muttering "but where are the bathrooms?" Imagine my joy when the video got to the part where you discussed that! That looked very beautiful, and very cold!!
Haven't gotten to that part yet, but my butt already feels cold lol
As another half-Dane, I just want to say that I totally chuckled when you said you’d only ever stared angrily at Sweden from Kronborg in Helsingør, because I literally did the exact same when I was there, haha. 😄
*for context, Denmark and Sweden have a friendly rivalry with each other*
Add Norway in there and you have the Scandinavian rivalry trifecta :)
Friendly?! Denmark still has a law allowing people to hit anyone who walks over the ice from Sweden to Denmark with a stick. Still haven’t gotten over a war that ended in the 1600s. But for real, if anyone from outside Scandinavia dares make fun or threaten them, we band together. It’s like siblings
good news everyone. i've thawed☃
a capsule hotel, an underwater hotel, and now an ice hotel? what’s next 😳
Space hotel
"We stayed in a hotel inside of an active volcano"
A fire hotel, a floating hotel, and an underground hotel
Floating hotel
“We stayed in the potato hotel in Idaho”
It's a bummer the weather made you miss some of your activities, but as a Stockholm native it was a lot of fun seeing you guys gallivanting around the familiar streets. Peak moment seeing Tyler appreciate a kanelbulle, honorary Swede status right there :3 And of course always down for a bit of banter with our dear neighbours from the south, who definitely would fail with those cannons since we'd obviously send in the Moose brigade first and send em running in fear.
And we’d… hit you with sticks… you might win that one. But honestly kanelbuller is absolutely delicious
@@astridhannestad8323 Thank you for the laugh
sounds like y'all had an eventful trip! glad you stayed optimistic through the setbacks ❤the ice hotel looked amazing
hi
bring back the dislike button‼️‼️
hi yt :)
Even UA-cam commented on this video, love that for saf!
shut up youtube
Safiya quoting the "don't make me sing" SNL sketch while standing on a stage in an ice chapel in a country across the world is somehow the most on-brand thing I've seen
ok
There are already thousands of comments so I doubt anyone will see this, but as an Idahoan, I am sooo excited that the potato Air B&B is on Saf and Tyler's list! 🥔😄
I love this travel series!
Now all you need to do is start your own hotel encapsulating all three elements of the hotels you've gone to and call it the Franken-Hotel.
as someone who lives in northern sweden and has been to kiruna a couple of times, it’s sooo crazy to see y’all up here - absolutely no one goes here so it’s really cool to see some spotlight on this region :) the ice hotel itself is pretty popular in sweden pop culture as that ”weird” hotel so it’s cool seeing it get spotlighted by y’all too
In the video they said 70,000 people visit the ice hotel every year, that's a large number
@@dylantd9189 A lot of that is local tourism though, not foreigners. Since some of the rooms change every year many come back several times.I'm from the county and I've been there a few times
Safiya’s voice narrating these videos give the trips even more of a chill vibe I love it 😀
Safiya and Tyler are my comfort content creators. From the main channel, Tyler's channel, Livestream channel, i just love everything they put out! Very well produced and yet feels like I'm just watching a friend on their journey! They're so positive and it just transfers through the screen. I hope they truly have fun and not burned out making contents, coz I'll watch them forever!
I love how you guys talk to each other. Your commentary is so cute and refreshing. Like you're always paying attention to each other no matter what. It warms my heart. Love you both!!
Tyler calling Stockholm the “Venice of the North” was not only accurate but also adorable😊
It's not something he "made up" or anything, the city has been called that for decades.
@@Mrsuperdestroyer Okay? It’s still accurate and adorable? Thanks for the information though👍
@@samslattery420 Oh for sure, just wanted to give some more context for it.
@@Mrsuperdestroyer From Sweden and I never heard of that saying, maybe its an international thing.
I was wondering about the bathroom situation throughout the whole video 🤣 glad to know they had normal ones, and not ones made of actual ice ☃️
I just love the sweetness between Tyler and Safiya. Like when he calls her sweetie? I love your guys' love.
As a Stockholm adjecent Swede, I would say that the ABBA museum, fika, Gamla stan and a ferry is probably the most important things to do in Stockholm so good job! There are a couple of more cool museums and stuff, but with the limited time I would say the essential things were done.
Personalky I would have picked the Vasa museum over the Abba one.
Jag med.
The Vasa museum is so much better than the ABBA museum and I constantly get disappointed that tourists choose the ABBA museum instead of it all the time.
As cool as this hotel is, the cutest part of this video is Tyler calling Saf sweetie when asking for a glove. Sweetest thing ever, I love these two so much.
This is the comment I was looking for! The way Saf’s face just immediately lit up in agreement. Priceless.
I'm pretty sure he said Safiya
@@Aushirye if u open the closed captions it says sweetie!
I’m amazed not just by its beauty, but by it’s SUSTAINABILITY. This is genius.
Safiya and Tyler are so humble, these videos are so comforting.. I can’t wait for We Stayed In A Hotel On Mars .
You can find a similar experience in Alaska at a place called Chena Hot Springs Resort. It’s actually kind of the blend of your last two videos - an ice hotel, an ice bar, ice art, and a huge Hot Spring. There’s even an ice dome. And lots of gorgeous northern lights photography opportunities, too!
ETA: just remembered my yt pfp was taken at Chena Hot Springs!
Yes! As someone who lives in Alaska and has visited Chena Hot Springs multiple times, it’s pretty great! But also it doesn’t even compare to this place! Definitely a lot smaller and not as “nice” but an excellent experience for anyone looking to travel in that area. ALSO! A pro is that Santa’s House is less than 30 minutes away in the North Pole 🥲
I used to live close by there. It’s much, much more rustic, (but way, way cheaper as well!) but still REALLY fun! We’d go often, it was a family favorite!
My aunt lives in North Pole and those hot springs are actually so good, I melted in there💖
I'm so glad you enjoyed yourselves here in Sweden and that the weather was nice enough to give you at least one night in Jukkasjärvi. Also, now you can use the fact that you missed out on some activities as an excuse to come back whenever you miss the cold, the darkness but also the beautiful nature. If you ever come back I really hope you get to see the soft glowy pink light that envelops the treetops when the sun drags itself over the horizon, if you didn't catch it this time. Now, over to our lovely neighbours!
Oh wow, how sweetly said about us Finns! Thank you!
At first this sounds crazy to adult me but then I remembered growing up in Michigan when I would build snow forts and literally nap out there. It was so relaxing seeing the sky peek through the snow roof, this seems like such a fun experience.
Also, it's super nice that they have the emergency room. With my anxiety, anytime I go somewhere, especially overnight, I always have to have an exit strategy.
Plus here in Michigan we make the kids go outside for recess at school as long as it is at least 15°F outside. So 20°F in a hotel room for sleeping with a nice cozy sleeping bag sounds just fine.
I survived the deadly 2021 Texas freeze that killed 246 people. My place was hovering just below 40 F with no water and I made it about 40 hours before I could get out, so I can't imagine being in a 20 F room for the night--flashbacks! And, edit: I have lived in cold, snowy places before.
@@electric_spacecats -- It's a different situation when you have cold temperatures in Texas, because your houses are not usually built for that. I've read that a lot of your furnaces run on electricity instead of gas since you don't need to use them as often. The pipes in your walls might not have insulation around them to protect against the cold, so it would be easy for them to burst if you don't keep the water running at a trickle in cold weather. And even if you have warmer clothes and winter coats, you're just not used to those temperatures.
I've been there too and the cool thing is that they build it each year from the bottom up but that also means they have to get new artists to make the rooms. So the rooms are different every year, by different artists which are mostly from Scandinavia. When I was there, there was a library art suite, it was soooo cool!!
It depends on the year, sometimes there's a majority of Scandinavian artist, others not. I've been a few times and each time the majority of rooms were created by mostly overseas foreigners.
Thats wild!
Safiya angrily looking at Sweden over the channel is the most Danish thing I've heard her say 😂
It truely is.
So true 🤣🤌🏼
We visited IceHotel 365 last year, and also took the Ice Carving experience. As You noted, not easy at all. The week before, our teacher/guide had the Crown Princess and her husband as students. They were staying in the Art Suite her brother, Prince Carl Philip designed, The Midsummer room. Apparently her father, The King came to visit without having booked in advance, and also wanted to stay, but he had to leave without staying, since the hotel was fully booked!
Thank you for showing what it is like when your travel plans don't work out! Being a travel agent, it happens! But instead of getting angry over the situation, you both make the most of it!
I’m sorry, I kinda died at both of you shuffling “I gotta pee!” 😂 that’s me down the hallway to my bathroom in winter.
A bit of a shame you guys missed out on some of your activities, but the hotel itself is quite interesting! The amount of work that must go into carving and constructing it every year must be monstrous.
My dear you look amazing keep safe ✌ 🙏🕊
omg safiya and tyler are just so cute together!! love watching them travel the world exploring cool places. this travel series has been so much fun to watch
I'm so so happy the travel series is back!!! I'm obsessed!!!❤
Safiya never misses! Her content is so enjoyable to watch
It's not a hotel, but in Poland you can sleep in a sort of underground hostel in a salt mine in Bochnia. We have there basketball field, playroom for kids, salt beach and cafeteria! Mine tour is included in the price. I recommend looking it up, I think it's cool and would fit the theme of this series.
so cool !
Next time you’re in Stockholm I’d definitely recommend seeing the vasa ship. It an almost perfectly preserved 17th century ship that went down on its maiden voyage without making it out of the harbour
And as a Dane, I really appreciated the jab at swedes. We’re always ready, and actually still have a law that it’s okay to hit any swede who walks across the ice on the sea between Denmark and Sweden
My Norwegian heart loves the jabs at the Swedish as well. Norway and Denmark were always the best of allies so it makes sense.
@@MissCaraMint nothing brings people together like hate of Sweden
Oh yeah, the vasa ship is AMAZING ! I went there during a city trip to Stockholm with a friend and we were mesmerized ! Didn't had the time to do all the floors of the museum but it was awesome !
@@astridhannestad8323 True, but only we in the Nordic family are alowed to do it. If it’s say America or Spain or whatever then you best believe Sweden is suddenly our best friend ever. It’s like siblings.
@@MissCaraMint exactly. Only we can hate them
saf’s videos have been so comforting to me the past 5 years or so, and today is no exception
It is so fun as a swedish person to hear the pronunciations and see places I know from such a big American youtube Chanel that I watch all the time. For some reason swedish people get so hyped by these types of things😅
Loved the MushRoom! Safiya & Tyler were like 2 caterpillars in their sleeping bags surrounded by the frosty leaves, snails & mushrooms 🍄🐛🐌
Really appreciate how positive and appreciative this felt even after horrible travel days. thank you for the work you put into these!
I love how wholesome their relationship is even amongst a stressful situation Tyler's lik
Safiya never disappoints - the video quality is always on another level! 😄👏🏼👍🏼
Safia's videos are like a really elaborate meal - they take hours to prepare but only minutes to consume!
As an Idahoan, I would be absolutely thrilled if you stayed in our potato hotel and made a vid on that! 😄
I love the whole design of the ice hotel, and the beautiful carvings are just so * chefs kiss * It's too bad you missed out on the other events, but I think the video came out great!
I can't wait to see the next vid! 💕
So glad y'all are going through with this extreme hotel stuff! Hope you guys give yourselves some time to rest in between stops though - and spa videos don't count ;)
As a Scandinavian, I'm THRILLED by this mini series! 🤩🤩
Wow I never knew about all the different art rooms, so beautiful. The inside truly looks so magical now I wanna go there
This is actually such a cool series because these are places I would always be curious about but would probably never have the means to stay at myself, this actually really helps satiate that curiosity in a really entertaining way!
If you ever feel like visiting Australia you should add one of the underground hotels in Coober Pedy to your list of weird hotels to stay at.
Plz tell me name or localisation
ooo yes i saw one of these on a wacky reality show about air bnb style places in australia. was instant hotel on netflix. the folks that stayed in it were beefing about the dust underground and the flies outside. i would have had a hard time staying there being underground but it was definitely a very unique and interesting area.
Dear editors, could you have the pop ups stay longer so we can read them in time? I keep missing info that I want to read!
Actually love this channel and you guys so much! Keep doing what you're doing, you're the only UA-camr that I've watched EVERY single video you've posted!! ❤
Just pause babe
You are and have been my safe place for years. Thank you for consistently making content that evolve to just what I like to watch. I hope you know how special you are.
Excited to live vicariously through Saf 😂
I'm so glad you guys share this because I have rheumatoid issues and it wouldn't be possible for me. But I'm glad you guys enjoyed yourselves and got to show us. Thank you!
The salt hotel in Bolivia is pretty cool. It's a really nice hotel, and it's fun that it's made out of salt. But the salt flat next to it is *spectacular*
It's important to go when it's flooded (it floods with just a few inches of water) to get the most amazing experience. The reflection is so perfect and immense, you feel like you're driving for miles in the sky. Seriously magical. It's also important to get a guide! It's very big and tourists can get lost and endanger themselves if they don't have a guide.
The most comforting series of Safiya's to watch 😌
i love you guys. you are such down to earth real people and i absolutely love that. there are very few youtube channels that i enjoy and yall are definitely my number one. i constantly have you guys playing in my background or watch as i go to sleep. thank you both for being yourselves on social media. it is so unheard of and so hard to do these days❤❤
yes, i am still defrosting tyler, he’s in the microwave right now 🔥
The pride this makes me feel as a Swede and a Scandinavian, is massive.
every time you say 'alright' before getting into the content, it scratches my brain in a way i never thought could be scratched
Saf and Tyler's relationship is honestly the cutest thing about their videos (including the ones on Tyler's channel)
Hi Safiya and Tyler, your videos make my days a lot happier. I love seeing all of your adventures and I hope some day I'll be able to do some of the things y'all have done over the years. This is definitely at the top of my list now
My heart melted when Saf got exited about the flower room!! So wholesome🥰
One thing to note about that flower room (the midsummer room) is that the designer of this room is the Swedish Prince Carl-Philip.
Happy you enjoyed it up here. Sleeping in -7 degrees sounds like a dream to me but I'm probably one of the odd ones there.
Also I can't get over the pronunciation of Kiruna.
Ps. Lingon is indeed amazing.
Honestly, youre not that odd. I also want to sleep in a -7 degree ice palace
I think people who live up there are the people that prefere winter over summer 🩵 My hubby moved to Pello last year and has been absolutely hyped about it when no one else down here at the south understands why 😂
@@Ellulellu as someone who lives about 1,5 hours away from the ice hotel, i personally definitely prefer winter over summer, theres so much more to do up here such as snowmobiling, skiing, ice fishing and more, but the summer can also be nice with the midnight sun ☀️
Devilofsweden, sounds like a dream, sounds like early childhood. As a Finn, I did sleep my nap times as a baby in buggy outside. Colder it was, better I slept. Of course mother did not put me outside if it was too cold (like -15 C), and dressed me correctly (warm, but not too warm). Weardly, I have not slept in minus Celsius degrees since I was baby, but I definately should, I think.
Hebrews
12:14 Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
Acts
3:19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,
James 2:24,26
Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
John
3:16 'For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
3:19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
Omg she has such a cool life and she's so much fun that I'm not even jealous but really happy for her and hubby that they've done so well for so long on UA-cam and avoided the drama and issues that have plagued so many content creators. Kudos to them both and wishes for continued success!
As a Swede I was not prepared for those English pronunciations of towns 😭 I love it
Same here lmao she tried
Thanks Saf for letting us live vicariously through you and Tyler. It’s a lot of fun to watch
Love these chaotic adventures with Saf and Tyler! The travel is so much fun!
This was so interesting to watch. Literally entertaining throughout, loved the positive vibes.
I always love seeing other people experience Sweden, especially when they get to see how beautiful the north is. After watching the video I suddenly wish that it was winter again...
The room you guys got in the Ice hotel looked amazing!
Everything you need to know about Saf’s and Tyler’s relationship… Tyler: Hey sweetie I am going to need to borrow a glove” Safyia: immediately turns around “left or right?” Love to see it!!!
I think he said Safiya
You guys are the only couple I enjoy watching on UA-cam. So fun and genuine. Would love to see more travel videos!!
Imagine drooling in your sleep and waking up with your face frozen to the bed 😂😂😂
Oh damn that's a great point, I wonder if you HAVE to sleep on your back? Everyone was in all the footage we saw. As a dedicated side sleeper I couldn't do it!
@@alexandragatto it looks like theres actually pillows so it seems fine :) 26:04
New fear unlocked
"So we're sleeping in here tonight," made me absolutely crack up laughing, oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh I love the room you stayed in so much!!! The snail was so cute. (Also that shot of you both wiggling your feet in the sleeping bags made me smile a lot)
As a person who loathes cold weather and is terrified of the power of snow storms, I'm happy to just live vicariously through y'all because IRL i would never
Yeah. I mean, I'm chilly sitting here at 16 C (61 F). I could probably stand to be wearing another layer, but I was just watching a quick video between getting home from dinner and going to bed, and I took off my nice clothes but have not yet put pjs on, so I'm just wearing my dressing gown (bathrobe).
As someone who loves cold weather, I’m so jealous
Honestly same. The only time I'd visit is in the summer.
Same haha 🥶
Same, if I was going to pay $800 a night to stay at a hotel, it should at least be warm!
There's no way I wouldn't end up in a wimp room 🥲 I admire you for surviving the night AND getting up in the middle of the night and finding your way to the bathroom without contact lenses. You guys are superheroes, really.
for real. my script is way too high for that. i'd be trying to open walls as though they were doors. on a side note if saf is consistently not taking her lenses out she may look into night and days as they're rated for 30 day and night wear. most comfortable lenses i've worn but i still usually take them out at night. if i sleep in them i'm ok waking up with them unless i'm dehydrated then they can be a bit blurry.
I strongly recommend coming to Estonia! There are very awesome marshes and hiking trails, an underwater old prison complex where you can dive (even at night!), a restaurant with a medieval experience in the capital's old town, and much more! This is where you MUST go!!
I’ve always wanted to travel the world and see things like this. I’m so glad I live in the future and can see these amazing places, even though I can’t afford to go there myself.
Thanks, Saf & Tyler for always giving us the best time through your videos! 🥰
I could watch safiya stay at a motel 6 and still be entertained 😊
