  • This is the story of how we made a lake house in Sweden our home. After moving from Germany, we always daydreamed of turning this vision into reality: our own Swedish lake house.💛 Come along as we share the journey of how we ended up here and what our first year by the lake-surrounded by nothing but forests-brought.
    Thank you for watching - so glad to have you here!

    Guys honestly ... this was SUCH a wonderful video!!! The storytelling, the scenes, the house, your beautiful smiles ... and you even had a VIKING WEDDING?! IN SWEDEN?! I am flabbergasted. Wow. Thank you so much for sharing this with us and I am looking sooooo forward to see more of you, your future projects and your beautiful smiles! My husband, me and my dog are going to move to Sweden this year in May as well. We also had a viking wedding 2 years ago. Maybe, one day, it would be lovely to meet you guys as it seems we have a very similar good taste in things 😄🥰 Sending you much love, luck and happiness!❤

    So happy to see you back on UA-cam! I followed your journey while making plans and finally starting our own new life in Sweden. By accident we also ended up with a lakeside house and moved in when winter started. It were and will be busy and challenging months for us building a new life. Your video made me just realise that we need to shift focus back to the magic of living close to nature and spending more time with adventures.
    But maybe 50 cm of snow and the temperatures we had in the last few weeks are just a good reason to experience the magic of staying inside by the kitchen fire and wait for spring to come 😂

      Thank you so much for your kind words! It's amazing to hear that you've been following our journey and that it resonates with your own experiences. Living close to nature and embracing the magic of the countryside is truly something special. 😊
      Enjoy those cozy kitchen moments and here's to spring soon! 🌼❄️😄

      ​@@PikeAndOakNice house and you've done well.
      Winter can be surprisingly long. Or short. Varies from year to year.
      Have you embarked on "the other" journey ett? Learning Swedish. Getting to know the lands history, culture and traditions.

    I am happy finding you again on UA-cam with a new Vlog - very appreciate it!
    Beside that, I was looking for your eBook Travel Guide about Sweden. Is it still available? The links you provided earlier are not working anymore, unfortunately.
    Maybe see you this year in Sweden, by accident ;)

    Great video! Living by the lake looks like a true fairytale, though l am sure it comes with its challenges. The wedding pictures and the decorations are lovely, and building a wooden bench on the porch yourselves is truly impressive. 😊

      Thank you so much for your kind words! Living by the lake truly feels like a fairytale, and you're right, it does come with its challenges-but the beauty of our surroundings makes it all worth it. We're thrilled you enjoyed the wedding pictures and we take pride in the DIY projects. Your support means a lot to us! 😊

    Pitty you dont mention WHERE in Sweden this is? I have followed many vlogs of people moving to Sweden, but it seems that you Germans somehow are better suited to do it than many other nationalities. Somehow the cultural and environmental shock is not overwhelming, but managable for you.
