This video really struck a chord with me. My partner and I took a similar leap, leaving everything behind in the UK to start fresh on a remote island. The experience has been life-changing, but what we’ve discovered is that the real transformation happens within. No matter where we go, we carry our thoughts, fears, and dreams with us. It’s how we navigate these inner landscapes that truly shapes our journey. Your story is inspiring, and it’s wonderful to see others embracing the path of meaningful change.
"courage to leave your life as you know it, courage to follow through with whatever you yern for no matter how absurd it may seem", this line just hits so hard. This was truly beautiful. ❤
Please don't stop creating these beautiful videos, you manage to inspire others as well with them :) Thank you for sharing your creativity and thoughts
much appreciated 🤗
Truly inspiring 🌿✨️🙏
I feel that your videos speak to a lot of people currently working in big offices. These long hour shifts often give meaning to people that don't really know what to do with their lives. I'm currently also going through a phase where I am reconsidering my full-time job and looking to build a lifestyle closer to nature and peace. Thanks for posting this :)
I love finding creators like you at 5k subscribers then following your journey as hundreds of thousands of people come across your talent. I live in an off grid bothy, up in the mountains on a Scottish Hebridean island. Whilst I may have solar for power and satellite wifi, this lifestyle brings me great peace and above all, connection with the natural world.
thanks so much! sounds like a good life to me :)
This is probably one of the best spots on the planet and your camera skills, framing and storytelling enhanced it and made it alive. I love the message
glad you enjoyed it! :)
Ottilie rocks !!! :)
you both do man ......
yes sir
What country is it in? In the uk where I am from, even if you wanted to do that, you could not build a hut at the beach and live in it. The authorities would tear it down, and probably lock you up for "damage of public property" or something along those lines I would think!
@@edmtb1603 Norway i think
I only want my UA-cam algorithm to bring me videos like these.
The ability to withstand a certain amount of discomfort only diminishes as you age if you stop challenging yourself with discomfort, and stop accepting the reason for it. At 70, I still hike, camp and ride a motorbike, and don't intend stopping any time soon.
amazing!! I intend to do the same :)
It's not courage we lack , it's money
so true 😂 i feel that
Although, I understand where you are coming from… I think you might have missed the point of the video.
You can get money through courage. By reaching out and grabbing opportunities. Networking meetings people. Takes courage to work hard.
No, it's what you tell yourself when you lack courage. (Sorry I don't want to be rude)
@@burnt_toast03 I think I understand the point of the video, I definitely have had that dream frequently over the years and have micro adventures in my area - the reasoning behind my comment is to escape the rat race you need money behind you (to travel to another country or to buy gear if you intend to stay in your own country, to travel unless you just intend to walk, to buy land or rent somewhere remote).
After 5 years of saving and planning to travel, finally this year I'm going for 3 years, starting with Vietnam.
In order to do this I had to pay £300 for a TEFL course so I can work while I'm out there, pay £500 for a plane ticket and while I'm away I'm paying £1500 for a storage fee for all my mum's belongings, who passed away last year and to pay for her/my cats food because they have dietary requirements that I don't expect their new owners could afford (£1500). I also will have to pay for accommodation and food while I'm out living the dream. While saving for this I of course was paying rent, bills and for food.
I just don't feel I've lacked the courage because I'm doing it now I finally have the money.
This is the kind of shit we dream .. thanks for making us relive it
2 years ago i went hiking and found this beautiful hut - it's a magical spot ♥️
Good energy!!
So touchy, natural and genuine. Love it!
Powerful message. A simple video. Beautiful life.
We all want to live a life of peace , richness, filled with adventure , content and love but somewhere growing up we convince ourselves that it isn't possible, feasible or even practical.
This is what we need from time to time to help us get in touch with our soul.
You are my new favourite UA-camr. This is the reminder and inspiration I so deeply needed
i love the explanation you gave about the experience and meaning of the trip. especially the part about having courage.
This video made me rewatch The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. It's one of my all-time favorites. Thank you, this is a beautiful video!
Love to hear that! Definitely a favourite of mine too :)
Thanks UA-cam for this new algorithm that bring me channels like yours to discover❤ And thank you for your videos, love them, thank you!
Wow! This was inspiring on so many levels and so so moving. As someone who is longing for a slower life close to nature for a lot of years now, this just made it feel even more real and closer to me. I can't thank you enough for your words and this beautiful video.
I just found your channel and I wanted to thank you for reminding me of what it's like to truly live. I'm realizing that social media has influenced me in such a way that I forget what it is that I *truly* want from life. Your videos are helping me remember ✨
ahh I’m so glad 🥹
wow, the spark in Inges eyes when he said just do it!!!
very inspiring to talk to him for sure!
Oh wow, I just slept in my tent at Kvalvika Beach last week. So beautiful! But I could not imagine living there in winter haha
This is fantastic. So refreshing. Thank you 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Thank you for sharing your creativity and thoughts
I wish to do something like that someday. In university for a year now, started right after graduating and feeling lost and my life feels meaningless. Don’t know how to do things like you. Hope I’ll be able to experience life like you do some time
What a beautiful bedtime story! - It sound so reaffirming to know that you are your own protagonist, and nobody, not even social media, can take that away from you. This kind of self-love so to speak will guide me in my dreams tonight :). Thank you for sharing your insights
Thank you so much! ☺️
Great video and such a lovely story! Thanks for posting :)

thank you! ☺️
So beautiful and dreamy 💫🫧
Stunning scenery! Did staying there actually make you feel calm in a way that it lasted after you came back home? And how do you deal with ambition; is it possible to live a calm life and do something meaningful with your talents at the same time?
It’s definitely easy to forget that sense of calmness once you get back to normal life, but I really try to take it with me as much as I can! A calm and quiet life absolutely has its challenges, and figuring out what to do with your ambitions is one of them. Still working on that :)
been here since 1 sub✌️
Never becoming one of those people that say 'I wish I had done that when I was young'. ---> That drives me to keep going out making life adventures :)
yes!! I try to remind myself of that every time I start having doubts :)
What a lovely video! Videos like this make me feel like such a Luddite. It's really a shame that society has evolved to make living so easy and convenient. In reality, what we truly needed was to be content with the here and now.
True! Glad you enjoyed it 😌
How privileged you are to say that. It's not a shame that life is easier because it gives you the choice to do what you want. The farther back in history you go, the fewer choices people had. What's missing is that you are no longer strongly compelled by outside forces to do something because your life is not threatened as often. It's like you're saying that having more freedom is bad because we don't know what to do with it, so it's better to get rid of it, but what we need to do is to learn what to do with it.
@mihaelam8339 You're completely right! However, its not uncommon for people to feel a sense of 'choice-paralysis' because most of us have the freedom and opportunity to do whatever we want. I like to lean on the phrase "limitation breeds creativity" when discussing this topic. I feel as though people are more likely to achieve great things and think critically when they feel stuck. In my experience, when feeling this way, it made me more ambitious and motivated to seek adventure.
Beautiful video!
Thank you very much!
amazing video!
glad you liked it!
Napakaganda ng Content nyo madam.
Great video!
Yea, it is pretty good.
Great video! I love your storytelling ability, and collection of shots to go with it. I’m definitely subscribed and looking forward to all your upcoming adventures. 🫶🏽
much appreciated!! :)
Where did this underrated content come from?????
appreciate it!! 😌
Living on the fringe is not for the weak 😎🤖
some birds aren't meant to be caged ❤
soo nice!
WOOOO! Great job!
thank you! :)
Your great great grandparents said “once we have shelter, water, and food we will be happy” and now you say with your fancy camera “once I don’t have shelter, water, and food I will be happy.” You’re already free, no matter where you are. This video is a naiive take.
hmm I get your point, but ultimately I’m saying that looking for and finding those exact three things, is already enough to be happy about compared to all the excess of things we have nowadays
Joke? that's my life goals.....
you and me both 🤝🏼
Beautful!
thank you! :)
Please, what is the magnificent song at the start of the video?
thank you
Returing back to your normal life will require some courage
How did you get the clips of the surfer guys? Great vid!
we were able to interview Inge, and the rest was taken from their film! :)
im from india and i know nothing also with fullly broke , failed to crack an exam , im turing 18 next year
How did you learn your videography skills?
thank you for saying that! I’ve pretty much taught myself, but there’s many creators I’m inspired by as well :)
unlazy gang
ah, 9k subs making 9 million subs quality vids.
Wow!
A reminder..
Not a carecter , but a creator sister' 🎉🎉
