I am happy to see and hear that you follow the same belief as I, "You can do it if you try!" This is how I came to leave New York City and moved to California; slowly and surely I moved to a mountain home in the far north of California because of the outdoor activities. I only discovered the beauty of Norway a few years ago, and through a Norwegian friend I discovered and fell in love with Tromsø, the hub to so much of Northern Norway. Be safe and stay well.
Thanks a lot for sharing your opinion, sorry for net getting back earlier I needed to be home and have it quiet. I can imagine it's a huge difference from New York to California. Yes Tromsø seems to be the Hub of Northern Norway.
I look forward to future video posts whenever you might produce them. I know what it means to have some quite time to recharge. My friend in Tromsø also works two weeks, on two weeks off. He just got back to his apartment late last night, but I will give him the space he needs to recharge before I contact. Be safe, stay well. @@ArcticNorthAdventures
I lived in Narvik 2 years while studiyng. I heard a lot about 'winter depression' from people I met. It's when it is dark most of the time. I didn't have that, allthough I'm from southern Norway. But some of the locals had winter depression. So I guess it's not genetical, it's just the type of person you are. I had more problems with the midnight sun, as it was hard for me to sleep with light all around me. Luckily these days it's easier to find good eye masks. Me myself I moved from the big city of Oslo to a smaller town 100km away. I like the silence and there is nature all around me.
I can imagine about the 24 hours daylight, I got actually used to it, I dont got any problems with winter depressions but I can imagine it can be hard when there has been bead weather before and after the polar night season specially then there has been less sun duo to clouds, but this season is not so dark as the rumors says, comes with a lot of moody and nice colors. Best to live outside a big city indeed, what do you like more ? Narvik or south in the small city ? med vennligst hilsen Alex Robins
@@ArcticNorthAdventures I live in Kongsberg. I like it here better. It's in a valley and we do get a lot of nice weather in the summer. And I got a nice view of nature from my balcony. We can get extra snow in the winter though. And Kongsberg is a Tech city and I work in it. It's quiet here. When I wake up I only hear birds singing. Except for when the unwilling neighbour kids have to go to kindergarten. But that's just some minutes in the morning and some minutes in the afternoon. We have a decent ski resort, a nice river and lots of wild nature around.
Wow that sounds really nice, I should check it out one day, still have to do my travel roadtrip through Norway. Yeah im aware about Kongsberg a big company, see and hear the name all the time
I think if you emigrating you have to do that for a positive reason like you did. I have spend my first 34 years in Holland near Amsterdam and now living since 20 years in Switzerland in a small town. I love the mountains, and the forrests here, but mis the sea, but not city life.. Norway have it all, but then I love culture and nice old towns as well, so Switzerland is not bad. I understand your choice, I have visited the Nord Cape meself twice and both times a was like lost in time, travelling all the way along that amazing coast line of Norway. Just nature, every minute beautiful views and a sun that refuses to go below the horizon in the summer. Good luck and may good adventures! Liebe Grüsse, Ronald.
Every history is a good history why people are moving to a different county yours sounds nice too and it’s interring since u moved to Switzerland and u are from Netherlands originally ?
Hallo Alex, so jetzt hab ich wieder ein Video von dir entdeckt. Es ist einfach wunderschön dort. Ich bin mir echt nicht sicher, ob ich dort leben könnte, aber sowas wie snowboarding wäre bestimmt spannend zu lernen. 😊 Mit dem Surfen hast du meine Bewunderung verdient...in so kaltem Wasser. Das wäre nichts für mich "ich als nicht-schwimmer"
Hallo vielen lieben dank furs zuschauen, ja hier kann man sehr viel machen ist aber auch langer winter, bin am überlegen ob ich dieses video neu filmen sollte oder nicht, es hat sich einiges geändert nach drei Jahren 🙈 zu mal wie ich videos mache.
@@ArcticNorthAdventures danke für die Antwort. Kannst du gerne Video machen. Ich schaue es auf jeden Fall 😊 und andere Zuschauer freuen sich mit Sicherheit auch.
Norway is very unique and I really hope the politicians in Oslo do the right choices and trying to preserve the resources norway have and not selling it International. Important to keep the drinking water, green power, fishing industry. Where do you live in Norway?
That's awesome. I am also thinking of move to Norway in near future. I always wanted to live with nature and calmness. Seems like Norway is my dream country😍
So cool to see my area through the lense of someone who's not native. Thank you, AwZm to see. And also like that you chose to live in Vesterålen, instead of Lofoten. Looking forward seing more from you😄
Lovely, one of the best films I've seen by a non Norwegian, about Norge. Love the photography, music, and your appreciation of the land. What about the people and language, do you make friends with locals? Do you practice speaking the language?
Hello, thanks for your kind reply and nice comment. I speak and write Norwegian from the very beginning. Integration is important for me and could speak and write is the first thing to do.

Looks like you have embraced what Nordland has to offer. It is a beautiful place. I'm form Finnmark, live in Oslo now, and are kind of jealous. Enjoy man :)
Finnmark is nice, too I just been there recently, but I have to say the winter in Nordland can be quite long with 7 months, at least the last two years something has changed. Why did you moved to Oslo if I may ask?
es hat sich eventuell für einige vor 15 Jahren gelohnt. HEUTE würde ich 10000km weiter wandern! NORWEGEN ist auch nur eine EU- Kolonie, wie z.B. gesamte OstEUropa. Ohne ÖL und GAS siehts hier bald wieder aus wie in den 40gern- 60gern.....😐☝(...oder wie im Kosovo...)
thanks for making this. I've been thinking of doing the same as far as moving to Norway but I live in US so traveling or flying during covid makes it a bit challenging at the moment. I am like you as want less city and love being outside and doing outdoor activities even from when I was a kid.
Es ist schwer zu sagen, ob ich für immer im Norden leben möchte, da ich dort nie war, jedoch das, was ich jedes Mal sehe, zwingt mich beinahe sofort zu packen und von Berlin dorthin zu ziehen. Und so seit Jahren. Norwegen, Schweden, weit weg in den Norden - majestätisch schön. Ein tolles und kreatives Video! Grüße aus der Tretmühle Berlin :-)
Danke für den Feedback, freut mich das ich gute Eindrücke vermitteln konnte in meinem Video. Was Natur angeht hat man sehr viele Möglichkeiten in Nord Norwegen 🇳🇴 und das direkt vor der Haustüre. Liebe Grüße 🖖
Hi, sobald du für mehr als 14 Tage Berlin verlässt und dann wieder zurück kommst, wirst du erkennen was für ein "Drecksloch" Berlin in Wirklichkeit ist. Egal welche Großstadt man nimmt, es ist und bleibt eine zu kleine Fläche für viel zu viele Menschen und der Kontakt zur Natur kommt immer zu kurz. Dabei ist genau die Natur so wichtig für jeden Menschen, denn wir stammen aus ihr und gehören zu ihr. Wünsche dir viel Erfolg bei deiner Entscheidungsfindung und kann dir einen Besuch Norwegens nur empfehlen. Es gibt kein anderes Land auf diesem Planeten, welches so majestätisch, wundervoll und kraftspendend ist. Alles Gute! :)

@@ArcticNorthAdventures 🤔 interesting, because I was thinking of moving to Norway in the near future and I heard that taxes and the cost of living are higher there. Would you say it’s a comfortable place to live if you’re a foreigner?
@@GEnghis559 I think it depends where u live living cost are for sure higher in bigger cities but it’s similar with other big cities in other countries. Climate is a big difference from the south of Norway compared to the north. It also depends on what u need or want? City life or nature ? There are also something in between in middle of Norway or south west coast.
Question could Somebody with 52 years emigrate northern norway how Long do you needed to speak bokmal asking for some Carpenters and merchant of wholesale Office worker
Very nice authentic films....I noticed you always add an ' s' to moose to make it plural ....but it's always just moose, even if you see 2,10 or 100. One moose...10 moose .....100 moose.....it's cute to hear mooses....but it's incorrect English :)
@@ArcticNorthAdventures Moose is American, the European version is called elk, which you can pluralise if you want to and is different from what the Americans call elk.
@@ArcticNorthAdventures i mean they only want people who are good at stem stuff and not everyone is good with math or has a disability with it. Pretty unfair.
I dont see exactly why ? When I checked things up its often not worth it duo to the high cost, anyway you got in Norway a longer warranty if you buy things here :)
@@ArcticNorthAdventures most you cant buy in Norway. No service, not special things, not good old things. All the newest, short live but rich on "colours"... :-))) And if- so get you worst quality to highest prize. :-)

Hello, compared to the income and taxes u have to pay is it actually lower than in Germany. For sure if u like big cars and alcohol this is high ☺️
@@ArcticNorthAdventures 🤔 interesting, because I was thinking of moving to Norway in the near future and I heard that taxes and the cost of living are higher there. Would you say it’s a comfortable place to live if you’re a foreigner?
@@GEnghis559 I think it depends where u live living cost are for sure higher in bigger cities but it’s similar with other big cities in other countries. Climate is a big difference from the south of Norway compared to the north. It also depends on what u need or want? City life or nature ? There are also something in between in middle of Norway or south west coast.
@@ArcticNorthAdventuresI personally want to live in a more rural like natural area like between a fjord. So it’d be “cheaper” there right?
@@GEnghis559 yes about 30 min or 60 min away from. Cities Someone told med there are also nice places in the south inside a fjord.
Question could Somebody with 52 years emigrate northern norway how Long do you needed to speak bokmal asking for some Carpenters and merchant of wholesale Office worker
I belive everyone can do it important to learn the language as fast as possible and integrate 🙏🙏
Very nice authentic films....I noticed you always add an ' s' to moose to make it plural ....but it's always just moose, even if you see 2,10 or 100. One moose...10 moose .....100 moose.....it's cute to hear mooses....but it's incorrect English :)
Thanks for your kind advice. I will keep it in my mind ☺️
@@ArcticNorthAdventures Moose is American, the European version is called elk, which you can pluralise if you want to and is different from what the Americans call elk.
@@peterc.1618 thanks for sharing ☺️
@@peterc.1618 That's not correct. A moose is... a moose(elg), elk is a deer (hjort).
@@magnus6683 Look it up.
💪🙌👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏👏❤️
Thanks a lot :)
unfortunately, if you arent a skilled worker/good at maths, moving is impossible
Can't see why this would be a barrier?
@@ArcticNorthAdventures i mean they only want people who are good at stem stuff and not everyone is good with math or has a disability with it. Pretty unfair.
@@orenges Did you tried to apply somewhere ? Bet it it might be possible for you 🙏
@@ArcticNorthAdventures I cant do/dont like math so its obviously a lost cause
🙂👍🇳🇴
Are you married?
Thanks for the question, but it's too personal to answer. Thanks for your understanding
before you move to Norway- take little studies about norwegian post and customs. Its worse than Nord Korea!
I dont see exactly why ? When I checked things up its often not worth it duo to the high cost, anyway you got in Norway a longer warranty if you buy things here :)
@@ArcticNorthAdventures most you cant buy in Norway. No service, not special things, not good old things. All the newest, short live but rich on "colours"... :-))) And if- so get you worst quality to highest prize. :-)
Ja Deutschland ist auch nicht mehr Deutschland.....ich würde auch sofort weg hier
Wo geht’s hin ? ☺️
