10000% you guys are right about raising kids (long term) in Denmark over Korea. Korean society is so hard on kids developing and growing, and I feel like it’s almost difficult to knowingly put your child through that stress when you have other options. Meanwhile, Danish teens generally end up very well rounded socially and mentally due to the open and supportive environment. The difference in your kids based on where they go to school would be drastic.
I agree! 💚
@@Henry-bh2hs but does this start at elementary school level already? Maybe it couldn't hurt to let them learn how to read and write in Korean before moving?... also I am sure there must be international schools in Seoul, too. Those are everywhere...
Denmark is a better country to live in anyways. Much more relaxed. If i had a choice between raising kids in Korea and Denmark, I would choose Denmark as well.
한국에서 크는 애들은 다 또라이 되고,덴마크에서 크면 다 초 엘리트에 성인군자 되겠네 , 타고난 인성과 교육에 달렸지, 넨마크 성인들은 모두 올곧게 커서 그리 존경스럽드냐 ? 노네
Someone mentioned apathasia or whatever it’s called at a party two days ago and that’s when I learned I can’t envision things. It’s VERY confusing at first I also wasn’t sure but then my friend said to me okay what color is the stem, and I’m like - what stem?? lol there was no stem no colors just an abstraction of an apple and maybe even an outline.
the aesthetics of Denmark is so dreamy ☁️🍃
Truly 💚
you definetly glow differently while in denmark, and it's understandable as even as a viewer I feel in peace looking at the scenery and relaxing lifestyle of your hometown :)
Thank you 🥹💚
Never thought about ‘seeing’ pictures when reading, I thought everyone did I guess!? I am reading a book now and totally see everything like a video playing out in front of me 😊
I’m so jealous ! Hahah 💚
Me too! I envision a very clear red apple hahaha
Yes that's also what it's like for me, like a movie. It's so nice 😍
@@johannacollins1130 I think it can go both ways tbh... sometimes I can see and feel everything that I am reading, but other times it's like my imagination is blocked.
Also with certain things like food and drinks I can envision them quite clearly, but I always have a hard time picturing the faces of people... somehow I see them, but somehow this image is also inaccessible. But I know they are inside of me, because when I daydream, and remember, and when I dream at night I see everything very clearly...
I'm exactly the same. haha. My dreams are crazy. lol
I think as someone who grew up in my parents home country up until 5 years old and then moved to the USA… having your child live in Korea for their early years will help them retain a lot of cultural identity and language skills. My siblings were raised in the U.S. and didn’t travel to the motherland until 7/8 and the difference in fluency and other cultural customs are not as strong compared to my sister and I! Just thought I’d share
100%, this is also something we are definitely valuing ! 💚
I love seeing smaller villages. I just love the simplistic, yet beautiful and functional design in Denmark. I just adore your mom's place - the peaceful vibes come thru the screen.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful journey. You'll be such an amazingly well-rounded mom. 💖
She made such a peaceful oasis 💚 thanks love
Indeed, time flies so fast! Already on your 21st week of pregnancy!✨👶🏻
It’s so beautiful but also kinda scary, I heard from now on everything is going so fast, you blink and you have teenagers 💚
17:54 I know most of it is fictional but argh seeing those kids in dramas going to school from 7am to 10pm is honestly heartbreaking. Kids should live and have social lives, idk much about Denmark’s school system but im happy and hopefully everything goes well in the future.
Pregnancy looks absolutely amazing on you 😍 so pretty and glowy. Also there’s a sense of calmness to you while you’re in denmark, love that for you 🧚♀️
Every time you upload, it's like I am catching up with a friend, I am going through a really stressful period right now and your videos are always a safe place, sending lots of love 🫶🏼
Aww that makes me so happy 💚
Having a very Sissel-kinda day, re-watching last year's vlogs from Denmark, taking it easy, enjoying my Sunday, and then being gifted with a fresh Sissel-vlog! A very lovely kind of day. Thank you, as always, S! 🤍
That sounds sooo cozy! I hope you have a beautiful Sunday 💚
Same 😅❤
@@sisselab same to you, dear Sissel! 🤍🙏🏼
Denmark really fits you, Sissel 🤍 The calm and peaceful vibe of the country is exactly what you bring to us as viewers. It's like Denmark is a reflection of you and what you've shown over the years.
If you and Jake think Denmark is a safer and kinder place to live than Korea, then saying goodbye can be sad. But it usually means there’s a new hello waiting, even if it’s a bit down the road. Personally, I'm not here for the Korean content, if that happens to be one of your concerns. I can't speak for us all, of course, but the entire ambiance of your videos are truly what draws us in week after week. Whichever decision you guys make, will be the right one for sure.
Such a delight listening to you speak and share bits and bobs of your time in Denmark ♥
I’m so glad 💚
In any of the country in the world, you actually got your answer. It is only when you and your family feel, like, "it is time and it is the moment to execute the plan ".
Don't feel too pressured into "planning to move" take your time to plan what you guys really need for the future and just go with the flow like your doing right now, enjoy life and amazing food for the baby to feel safe and healthy.
Just like the classic proverb says, "if there is a will, there is a way."
Take care!
When the time is right you will both know where to relocate. Take your time and enjoy every moment for now. Hope to see Jake in Denmark soon. I love both of you , but as a young Africans young man l look up to Jake very wise man. Denmark or Korea as long as both of you are happy and healthy that's all that matters. #Healthy Journey..... Baby Noa is already 21 weeks! Praying for you here in Africa. #Stay safe.
We are only ever gonna live in Korea and Denmark I’m pretty sure, so it’s more a “when” question than “where” actually. That’s so kind of you, I’ll let Jake know 💚
In a day where im burnt out from working too hard I feel such relief when I see you have posted. This is a life I wish for and for a few minutes a day I can envision it through you ❤
Aww I’m glad it makes you feel better! I hope the burnout will pass soon💚
Your mom‘s house is truly goals. Kind of like what I imagine I would like to live like in the future, connected to nature and just a peaceful place to be🫶🥹
It’s so cozy 💚
I love seeing you move near your mom & grandma as soon as possible!
I can totally understand wanting your kids to grow up in Denmark. I'm Norwegian, but my mum had me in the USA, and now it's been a nightmare since USA claims I still am American ( I'm not, been Norwegian since we came home at 3 years old ) Good thing you already have checked the laws in Denmark :)
i love that ur letting ur hair grow its so prettyy
I absolutely love your vibe Sissel, I always save your videos to watch them when I’m calm, becouse they are a staple for me, you are the only person on you tube that I follow religiously actually, seeing you going from the little apartment to being pregnant makes me so happy!
You are truly amazing and such a genuine soul. I wish you all the best, sending you hugs 🫂💗
I love your vlogs so much you have no idea! Thank you for sharing these beautiful moments of your life and wishing you a healthy pregnancy
denmark is so pretty!! your moms house, your grandmas house, its all so lovely and even like the area you were walking around its so peaceful and adorable i love it. i never seen denmark before but now i love it!
so wild how things work out. in this video I learned we're the same age and both moving to another country in about 4 or 5 years because it's a better place for kids to grow up. so pleased to see your journey play out, and see your channel as a lot of inspiration! truly wishing you and your lil family all the best
Aww that’s so cute! Best of luck to you as well 🥹💚
Love the calm vibe of this vlog!!🌼💚
girl you EXUDE femininity right now! being pregnant suits you ❤ it’s so beautiful that you have two homes and know what you want but are in no rush to get there, you’re simply enjoying what you have right now and living in the present while being mindful of the future. LOVE IT
This is so sweet and thoughtful, thank you so much 🥹💚
Denmark looks so beautiful! I’m 18 weeks pregnant with baby #3! Just recently found you and have absolutely loved your videos so far ❤
Elsker dit content Sissel, det er så hyggeligt at følge med i ✨
Wishing you so many goos things!! I'm quite a new viewer (started watching around January this year), but I hope you and Jake have the easiest time moving and setting everything up when it comes time for that. You're so sweet, Sissel, and I'm glad things are going well. Much love ❤❤❤
Omg ,you are a cure for the soul. 🥺💖 Every time I feel sad, lazy, or frustrated, I watch your videos and like a magic I become in a good mood and I will just have that refreshed feeling . Also, I noticed that my appetite for food opens up when I watch your videos and as far as I know it a positive thing . Thank you 💖💖💖 and I wish you a healthy birth with a beautiful child with beautiful soul like you 😊💖.
Your videos always bring peace to my soul. Thank you so much for creating them and for allowing us to be a part of your life✨️🩷
I love hearing you talk about the struggle between wanting to move earlier and stay in Korea. I too am debating on staying in Korea once I graduate from uni here and it’s so hard bc there’s so many pros and community here is so wonderful.
thank you for taking us with you on this wonderful journey my dearest. only love and support from me to you 💚 you are glowing
Thank YOU for being here 💚
💚100% needed Sissel vlog and calm energy!
Aww 🥹💚
Communication is the key and you and Jake have that communication. So happy you get to spend time with family before the arrival of baby boy I hope you take us on your adventures when you move to Denmark God bless.
Oh my goodness, adding Denmark in summer to my travel wishlist! It looks so beautiful, I think I understand why you’re so happy to be there 😊
This video definitely captures the natural beauty of Denmark, such an ideal place to raise children.
Denmark is so beautiful 😍 The baby bump is growing so fast🥹🥹 Pregnancy suits you perfectly Sissel hehehe lots of love from Spain🩷🩷
He’s growing sooo fast it’s crazy! Thanks love 💚
Sissel i am so happy for you and wish you only the best 🫶🥹
Aww thank you so much 💚
The way you said "cubumberrrrr" ahhhh so cute!!😂 The number of times i replayed🤣🤣🤣
🤣💚
You're hometown is magical, in love with it
I just came back from Copenhagen and really love the food, the air, the overall vibes. And watching this video, reminding me how much I fell for this country.
You are looking so beautiful with your baby bump sissel 💚
Aww thank you love 💚
Your content is such a safe space for me. I've been going through a lot of rough times mentally recently and your videos always make me feel so at peace, and also make me hopeful for changing my own life for the better! You have such a beautiful soul
I’m sorry to hear you’re going through a tough time love! I hope it gets better soon 💚
Absolutely in love with this vlog and this new season of your life you’re entering 🥹💛 like you, I’m young and (also!! Eek!!) expecting 🥹 and my partner & i are talking lots about moving back to one of our home countries to raise bubba and to embrace more slow living 💛 it makes 1000% sense, but it’s always always going to be a difficult, back and forth decision . But i know it’s going to be a decision that will be worth it in the end 💛💛
Awwwwwwwww congrats love!! What wonderful news, I’m so happy for you 💚 it’s such a hard decision, I wish the best for you and your family!
Omg I’m the same way with seeing images in my mind, like I cannot picture something but logically I know what something looks like…glad to know I’m not alone 😂
Haha I truly want to be able to see it but I just gotta admit I can’t 🤣 💚
18 weeks pregnant here, having my dinner (fries) on the couch while hubby is enjoying a beer festival..I totally get your comment on food, I allow myself some naughty treats on occasion because why not 🤷🏻♀️ i feel already so much healthier now that I don’t drink alcohol, it saves a lot of calories 😅
Yessss honestly it’s about being in balance 💚
WOW! your place in Denmark is a perfect place for your growing family i guess. . It's like heaven ❤
grandma's house looks amazing !
It must be hard to have your heart between two countries. Of course it comes with benefits too, for you and your family. But it's something I could never do, leave my country to live elsewhere, not even for a month lol. I'm so attached to my roots and I think that is my path, but I admire your freedom and I am excited to witness how you transition into motherhood facing the challenges that come with it. You really are glowing with happiness and I it's lovely to see. Wishing you the best as always. ♥
It’s hard yes, but it’s also a huge privilege. It feels like i have two homes and I am so happy in both places, I feel so lucky 💚 thanks love
Blessings Sissel, been watching you for so long I can't believe this! 🤍
🥹💚
You and your fame have a plan for the future. That's awesome! Looking forward to the journey 🙏💛!
You just an beautiful energy that makes me feel in the haven and i forget my life problems , thanks ❤❤❤❤
The way tried so hard to imagine and get a physical picture of the apple but I couldn’t 😂😭 Once again i love ur videos and enjoyed this so much 💕🌸
We are the same then! I’m so sad hahahhaha 🤣💚😭
I on the other hand see an apple floating in the air, even with my eyes open, and I'm rotating it right now as I'm writing this xD
i just wanted to say that i’ve been following you since you moved for the first time to Korea🩷 so proud of you and wish you and your family so much happiness
Thank you so much for being with me for so long 💚
Watching your vlogs is therapeutic
omg that aphantasia test - im about a 3 but in black & white and i feel the color! so interesting to learn about how different people see in their minds eye and think! great vlog as always sissel :)
As long as the 3 of you are safe it’s all good for me and I think your idea is grate
I have followed you since the beginning:. I’m not sure why but the last few vlogs have not been in my notifications 😢I thought I would let you know. Thank you for sharing your life it’s so relaxing to watch and inspirational as a mom of 4 I look forward to this new chapter and vlogs for you!
Oh! Thanks for letting me know! Maybe try and disable and then turn notifications on again 💚
I was just thinking about u and the upcoming cutie and u just blessed us with a new vlog and I'm so happy!!..😭🩵
Awww that’s so cute 💚
I have a relly good emotions about this video and this lonely vibe. Your grandmother's house is so cute and brightness. I like it 😆
Thanks 🥹💚
Hi sissel,
As always loved the video
I trully feel like im watching an A24 movie when i see ur videos.
Idk how to explain it really, they are just so calming, and the way you open up about your life in such a mature way is so endearing to me. I feel like you are my adult friend who I can learn about life from.
Also i have seen you for so long now, so the way your life and your mentality have changed with your content throughout the years feels so fulfilling.
I'm just glad i stayed and kept keeping up with your content.
Hugs ❤❤❤
That’s so so kind, thank you for those sweet words love 🥹💚
watching you for a very long time. Not in my wildest dream I have ever thought I would be moving to Denmark for studies and now watching your Denmark vlog from Denmark. Best wishes for you and your family ❤
Aww that’s amazing! Enjoy! 💚
Denmark looks so beautiful🥹 you look absolutely wonderful, it's crazy how it's already been 21 weeks! You just keep glowing💚
It’s truly so magical here, thank you love 💚
Its my first time seeing ur village and already agree with u ,such a beautiful place
Hi, Sissel and Happy Sunday!😊😊😊😊😊😎☀💙💙💙💙💙💙🇺🇸🌷🇰🇷💚💚💚💚💚💚🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇👍. Denmark is the prettiest place in the world. Birds singing, playing "Tag" around the park, exercising, and watching the fireworks at night!😍🌌🎇👍. Also, that pose 2:17 is so funny while you're looking at your baby bump. Awwwww!😂😂😂😂😍😍😍😍😍. Now that's beautiful.💚⭐💚⭐💚⭐💚⭐💚⭐💚⭐💚⭐💚⭐👍
It is very sweet that you filmed a moment with your grandma.
Your grandma's house is so lovely! Her taste is impeccable and deserves an episode featured on AD or Homeworthy
Having grown myself in a village in Greece, I can understand the serenity places like this gives us. Hope you are enjoying your stay there💚
That sounds so nice 🥹💚
sissel can u do a little tour of the town 🥺? it feels soo cozy and loving; it made me want to visit Denmark 😍🫂
39 weeks and 3 days today, just waiting for our baby boy to arrive 😮💨 Im currently living on hot tea and surrounded in blankets in the New Zealand winter 😭 Denmark is beautiful! You’re thriving there.
My gosh ! Good luck with your birth, you got this mama! 😍💚
So proud of you ❤
🥹💚🫶🏼
Your hometown is so cozy💜
Loving the video ❤ and I absolutely love your country, I live close and I've been there a bunch of times, it's gorgeous ❤
I love that 🥹💚
We live in new York, our family visited Denmark in late April and my 14 year daughter can’t wait to go back.
Glad to have been on this journey with you! As most people are saying Danish society is much less competitive or stressful than the Korean one and you made the correct decision to move there. Hoping for the best for you and your family!
Thanks a lot 💚
Can’t wait❤❤
🥹💚
Denmark looks so beautiful! Hi from BC Canada. You are glowing.
💚
The books with Bamse og Kylling is truly a classic, remember them so well from my childhood😆 (I'm Danish, living in Denmark). So happy for you that you get to spend the summer in Denmark with family and friends, thank you for sharing it with us 🌞 And love following along on your pregnancy journey, you´re absolutely glowing 💚 Oh and I'm very clearly seing an apple, also just thought everyone did, very interesting 😆
Bamse og Kylling never gets old! I still walk around singing the Christmas song Vi er på vej til dig, julemaaaand 🤣💚
rooting for good things in the future ahead of you. 💙 :)
That’s sweet of you, thank you 💚
Growing up, even tho my father was danish, we never really did anything related to the culture or talked about it because I am mixed with many other ethnicities. But I love watching you channel when your in both Denmark and Korea, because I can see into the culture and lifestyle Danes have. I truly appreciate leaning as much as I can through others stories ❤ I love being proud of my danish last name and my danish heritage. Thank you for showing me it!! 😊❤
I’m honored that you’re watching me to get more of an inside into your heritage! You should come to Denmark on a holiday one day if it’s possible, to feel it on your own body 💚🫶🏼
10:22 my literal thoughts!! I paused the video right before this and realised I wasn’t actually picturing an apple! So interesting 🤔
It looks so beautiful there. I want to visit Denmark. I agree with you, going back home (wherever your native country may be) is always good and you miss it soo much. But then what you said at the end of video how you had a heart to heart with Jake. I’m the same, I think raising children would be best in England (husband’s country/ slower pace) but all my family and support is back home in Texas. Which makes the pull harder for me.
Things to think about. I’m gonna look into making that bread 🍞
I wish the best for you two!💚
love you sisseeeeeeeeeel
🥹💚
Literally can’t vision it either 😭😂 I feel exactly how you do about the apple lol 🌷
I had no problem visualizing an apple with color. Its very interesting how some can and some can’t.❤
you are so beautiful Sissel !!!
I could read and imagine everything but I don't know if that's the case, but until I was 15 I could read and imagine the complete situation in my head, including the characters' voices. But, after I started reading more online via e-book, I can't imagine absolutely ANYTHING. Today, I'm 20 years, if you ask me to imagine an apple, you can be sure that I have the concept in my head but not the image. So, I completely understand you, Sissel.
congratulations for 21 weeks 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤what i can't wait is that seeming you in denmark to learn more about danish country 🍉💐🍉💐💯🤩🥰💝🌹
Wow already 21 weeks!
Me and my partner moved to my hometown to raise our daughter, lived in a big city before and it was such a good decision for her. I can see how the life here is much more suitable for kid even tho i miss the big city sometimes. I keep thinking that my life is not ending and we can travel and move later in life if we want to.
Wow, Denmark is so beautiful 😮
It looks so much like where I grew up in the Netherlands to me. I met my husband while camping in Germany where he was stationed. He is from LA so when he was done with his 3 years in Germany we thought the same, we go to California so he can finished college and when we have kids we will move back to the Netherlands when they start school, wellll 2 boys and 33 years later we are still in California 😂 I love following your life on your channel, best wishes, Monique
omg i love that you brought up aphantasia!! it's the bane of my existence!! i'm on the scale where i cannot visualise anything and it ruins reading fiction for me as i cannot visualise the environment or characters that i'm reading about!! i love reading still but i mainly read non-fiction because of this!!
p.s. your videos bring me so much joy and i'm loving seeing you and jake blossom into a family of three🪻🫶
much love from the UK,
annabel xx
You saying this makes me wonder even more where I am on that scale, cause I can definitely imagine what I’m reading about, but I just don’t see it as a picture ? So weird 🤣💚 and thank you so much Annabel!
@@sisselab 💕
excuse me sis. i'm in LOVE WITH YOUR BACKYARD🌼🌼🍀🍀
I don't know much about Denmark but giving birth in Korea is phenomenal. The luxury post partum birth care facilities are amazing. Korea has also incentivised having babies; the government benefits are probably one of the best in the world because Korea is trying to boost the declining birth rate. I'd totally recommend staying in Korea until bub is a toddler, then move if you must.
Absolutely not, sorry, but the hospitals (which are the only government supported places to give birth) and terrible and they only focus of getting baby out fast. The babies are also taken away from you after, no skin to skin most places and you can only give birth on your back which is not optimal at all. Post care centers are not something I want to use due to many reasons, they also are not free. Sorry, but korea is a terrible place to give birth 🥲💚
Community is so important, especially for you as a new mum.
Yes..! Which is why I’m so glad we have exactly that at home in Korea 💚
I love denmark! I come from the north of germany, much love
어머 한국어 댓글이 하나도 없네요!

그럼 몸조심해요 ❤
임신 축하드려요~! 🥹💚
Watching this reminds me again of how I want to visit Scadinavia someday. It's always been on my travel list but I've never got round to actually planning a trip over there. One day I will, for sure 😊
I hope you’ll go one day, it’s so beautiful here 💚
Darling ❤ you're looking sooo beautiful!
Awwww you’re so sweet 💚
