Just looked up exchange for 2.1 million kroner to USD = $193,019.40. Is this about right? That seems like a great price for the size and phenominal view on a Island with limited homes for sale. She was smart to buy & own VS renting.
@@jansmith3158 Remove your question Jan, unless you do not trust your computer. :) Owning is usually smarter than renting, and a "gold star" to Cecilia for suggesting the purchase to her friend. 2nd gold star (what teachers would affix to test papers) for buying the bungalo as a year-round house. I am curious how the town council is to deal with, but I like they have the 6-month residency requirement so as to prevent outside speculators from flipping properties Which leads me to ponder if she who is loved by so many of us started selling shares in an investment firm, the corporation could buy those fire damaged properties and begin an empire.
I'm going to longyearbyen in January!!!! Cecelia inspires me so much. I'm also a fan of Christoffer and Grim. It's costing me all of my savings but I'm.so happy. Of anyone has any tips I'd be really grateful x
You are an incredible content creator - the channel is top notch with consistent engaging, educational and entertaining content - your editing skills are phenomenal. Christopher’s quiet and introverted personality so perfectly compliments your bubbly vivaciousness. Grim and Fenris are just adorable. The Norway chamber of commerce owes you for single handedly promoting this beautiful village to millions of us who had no clue where Longyearbyen was prior to us fortunately fInding your channel - Thank you for all that you do
It was great to see an apartment in the village and hear about the “typical” monthly bills (which are surprisingly cheap). Linn’s apartment is beautiful and the view of the mountains and water are amazing 🤩
I used to live in an apartment complex that had an app for the washing machines and you could check the app before going into the laundry room to see if any were available. I really liked that, I feel a system like that might be nice in Longyearbyen, or anywhere really haha
@@CeciliaBlomdahl We also had that at our old apartments and it would give you a notification when the machine was done so you could go get it and make room for someone else to use the machine. I really liked that and it helped out a lot since we had a small washing room and quite a bit of people living there.
I’m glad no one was hurt in the fire. I hope everyone who lost their home finds adequate housing soon if they haven’t already. Thank you to you and Linn for letting us see her place it’s so nice!
I live in Canada, we do not get 4 months of darkness here, but we do get significantly less sunlight. Most of the time i dread winter but your perspective has given me a more positive outlook. I like your channel thanks for sharing your life :)
Me too. Same 🇨🇦 weather and I also found a lot of help this year in following Cecilia. I'm dealing with the darkness better and choosing to see the coziness.
Snowstorm in September 🤍❄️ Now that's my kind of weather. So beautiful. The apartment is lovely and looks very comfortable and cozy. Love it! Thank you for showing it to us Cecilia. Hugs for sweet Grim 💕
Thank you, Linn, for allowing Cecilia to show us your beautiful home. Your apartment is actually larger than mine & I live in the states (Oregon). I have found I don't need a lot of space now that my boys are grown, so I sold my house & downsized & am currently looking at building a tiny house because rent in my area is skyrocketing! A one bedroom rents for at least $1,700 per month & it continues to climb. A 14.6% increase has been approved for this year (& we wonder why we have a homeless crisis, ugh). Anyway, I love how bright & cozy your home is & your view is absolutely amazing!! Thank you, Cecilia, for showing us this beautiful property. Your content continues to be amazing & your time is recognized & appreciated. 🥰 Edit- Grim makes me smile everytime I see his sweet face 😊
Linn's apartment is sooo beautiful! Very nice showing, Cecilia. You'd make an awesome realtor. I hope the people whose buildings burned down are doing ok. Much love from Louisiana.
I absolutely love that first snowfall of the year that really sticks… I live in Buffalo Ny and we just got notified that were supposed to be getting hit with a really big snow storm in like a day and a half to 2 days and I can’t lie im so excited! I love when its a winter wonderland 💜💜
Another great episode. Linn’s apartment is just lovely. (I love the high ceilings). Loved the tour And all the interesting info. It’s actually pretty economical to live there. The views of the snow is so relaxing. I could watch it snow all day. Thank you.
I love the high ceilings too. Makes me miss my previous apartment that had high ceilings (higher than this apartment) in the bedrooms upstairs. My current one makes me feel like I'm in a box like a mime.
The apartment is beautiful I just would have to convert dollars to kroners. I’m so sorry for the families that lost their homes and glad no one lost their life. Thank you Lynn for letting us see the apartment .
The apartment was gorgeous and the views makes it extra special. And snow in September…beautiful! I really love watching your videos! It’s my vacation away without leaving my own city (but Svalbard is now on my bucket list!). The skies at any time during the day or night are a showpiece on its own and the little town feel is relaxing and comforting. I enjoy each adventure you takes us all on. Wishing you blue skies for a few more days - they really are spectacular! And as someone whose ancestors came from Norway, I decided to study the Norwegian language. It will come in handy when I finally make it there for a visit!
Cecilia, your calling/gift in life is to work with people. You have a *Special* way of explaining things to people making them understand and you do it well with a touch of kindness and class, not everyone can do that... LM
I can not tell you how truly AMAZING your videos have been to me since I started watching you YESTERDAY! 😃 I live in the US in West Virginia to be exact. We have all 4 Seasons here and every since growing up here I have simply hated the Winter months with a passion. So much in fact that as soon as I graduate from school I took off to a florida to further my education and made that my home for many many years. After I married we ended back in WV so that our daughter would grow up around her grandparents. My husband LOVES the mountains and me…well I miss Florida and the sub tropic warmth everyday. We are in Fall now and Winter is approaching quickly so I have really been dreading it. That is until (meeting you Cecilia) 😊 I have been watching your channel and to see how much passion and appreciation you have to see the natural beauty in your extremely cold climate has opened my eyes to what I have been failing to see in mine! Granted our homes are certainly worlds apart and different but your open heart and sweetness has touched my heart and helped me open my mind to see the beauty that I have been missing around me❤️ THANK YOU for your love of life 🥰🤗 I will be watching! Much love to you and your family and of course the fluffiest member Grim 🐕 ps. if I ever have the chance to visit your part of the world I WILL TAKE IT😃 and head straight to the shop for coffee and those adorable polar bear white chocolates 🐻❄️
I also love the change of seasons up there and how you share that. I have a 34 year old daughter, Alicia, who used to live in FL, and to say it got hot down there is an understatement, and after first vowing never to return to Indiana, she finally did. Two reasons why; first she missed the old man 🤣 and being near family, and second, she missed the change in seasons. She was so excited the other day. She texted me and said for the first time in years she was actually able to wear a jacket! Thanks again Cecilia for sharing your life with us!
@@cliffontheroad My daughter found that out the hard way. 🤣 I spent four years in Texas and three on the island of Guam during my military time, trust me, I know hot and having four seasons is the way to go.
@@papabear562 FYI, the email received only had your first sentence. Having 4 seasons IS the best way to live. Do not know if I'd enjoy 4 months of no sun, but she gets soooo excited when it reappears. 😀
I love it this kind of video!!! It help to understand how much it costs, what you get, how to search and so on... Surely, you can be realtor, your presentation is amazing!!! That's even look an apartment, is incredible!
Hello from Southern California! Love your videos and the changes in weather. We are currently in a drought and under water conservation so our grasses and landscape are brown and dry. It has also been extremely hot and humid this past month. Watching your videos are such a contrast and I enjoy the change in scenery. Wish we could have some of your snow. We need it so badly. Thank you for your video!
Love the editing and I also really enjoy watching your videos! ❤ Not gonna lie, when you started filming the views and the snow storm it made me feel quite emotional. I live in Portugal but originally I'm from Lithuania and I used to hate winter time but watching your videos makes me miss real winter and lots of snow
How nice of Linn to let us have a look around! What kind of work does she do on the boat? I'm so curious about the kinds of jobs on Svalbard. What a fascinating place. But I was not ready to see snow yet! It sure is beautiful, but I'm glad it's only on my screen for now. ;-)
I got so excited to see snow in September! I love cold, rainy, snowy weather. I've been watching your channel almost every evening, dreaming of moving to Svalbard! Thank you for this content and for giving me a glimpse of the top of the world.
Grim is so gorgeous - we lost our chocolate lab in lockdown she was 15 - we miss her sooooo sooooo much! another good video, pleased everyone came out of that terrible fire.💗
So the electricity is the same price as the internet, and the internet isn't very high. Amazing. Wonderful video with useful information for anyone budgeting living expenses when considering a move to Svalbard. You have the sweetest pupper I've seen in a long time. ☺️
Ive been watching ur vlog for like a year or so, and it still gives me excitment everytime!?!?!! And to watch how peaceful and cozy ur place is a stress relief! Thankyou! Much love from Indonesia!✨
That view of the rural seaside, crashing waves with snowy weather to boot is just ideal! Since I was born and raised through my childhood during nonstop monsoons, I detest and resent the sunlight/sunshine always, and only feel rainy/snowy weather is “good weather.” As a native Floridian, where if not the heat, the monsoons and hurricanes, along with any variety of deadly apex predator wildlife is not all that different than Svalbard. Still, it’s nowhere near as polluted dirty or depressing as America’s supposedly “livable northern cities.”
Thank you so much for sharing your life on Svalbard, it's always a joy to watch the beautiful photos and shoots and explanations about what goes on in your special world.....❤ ❤my world is so different down under, rain, rain and more ☔️ rain, so can't even walk amongst the spring flowers...
I think Linn’s apartment is absolutely gorgeous!! I laughed out loud when you said winter jackets need their own apartment😂😂. The last apartment I lived in was $1420/mth NJ. Some of the rents in Longyearbyen seem affordable. Thank you so much for the apartment tour. Hugs and love always ❤️❤️
Thank you Cecilia for that awesome tour of Linn's apartment. It's quite beautiful.🏤I loved how Grim was smiling at you when you come home.🥰 We love us some Grime.💞🦮 Your nail polish is 🔥!! Looking forward to going into the polar nights and the holidays with you guys via video. Longyearbyen is now my #1 bucket list destination one day. In my mind's eye, I imagine Christmas time would be a blast!!. The polar nights by cozy fires (inside and outside), all of the snow, going snowmobiling, the activities in the village, trying all the different types of cuisines, the lights and decorations, the...and of course, maybe a chance to meet you guys and Grime. Possibly treating you and Christoph to drinks and/or dinner, if you'd be down with that. I've watched and throughly enjoyed so many of your videos, I feel like I already know you. You're my friend in my head..lol 🤯Any way, let me get back to my current reality. 😄Thanks again for all of the great vlogs, and as always, stay blessed. 🙏💞
I lived as a child and young adult in the Canadian sub Arctic. Halloween had snowbanks. Really miss the snow living in southern Canada. We mostly have freezing rain in Winter and rarely have a proper snowstorm in southern Canada.. The advantage of the sub-Arctic is that there is some daylight in Winter and night in Summer. The tundra was as beautiful as you depict it, as were the Northern lights. Thank you for sharing your life in Longyearbyen, as it brings back beautiful memories of my childhood and early adulthood.
Love seeing a different dwelling in town! It would be really fun to see the cheapest home on Svalbard as well as the most expensive. Does Linn ever AirBnB her apartment while she's away for several weeks?
You are one of few people who, no matter they do, you do GREAT job. Well done for all content you brought to us so far!!! Watching you video is pyre pleasure. And, yes, the apartment is to die for. Skandinavian simplicity in its own glory. Love it!!! ❤️
I noticed the snow in the last video and it took me by surprise. Not that it’s a good thickness, but not too much it looks so perfect! Svalbard is so beautiful!! Maybe one day! 🤩😍
Here in America we would call them “HOA Dues” HOA is Home Owners Association. You pay a fee for maintenance in the common areas and the outside of your home. For example, if a pipe breaks it’s your responsibility to repair if it’s inside your house, the HOA if it’s outside.
Yay, wow wish we could experience snow like that, it’s rare to get proper snow in southern England. Love your videos and the music you use, soooo chilled 💕
I read Apartment and thought 2.1 million is 175 000 NOK a month in rent, that is just crazy. Then watching your video I realized it is not an apartment but a Condo (Condominium). 10 0000 a quarter is still quite some money for upkeep if you own the apartment but then many things are more expensive in Svalbard. Thank you for a nice video. Apartment - Rent Condominium - Own
Snowed at my house in Central Florida twice in the middle of May of 2020, even though if I hadn’t been a smoker then, I wouldn’t have noticed it since they were just gentle flurries and it was also during a weird period that lasted through the summer of “micro-cold fronts,” that seemed to come and go as quick as just a few minutes, or more likely, hours. Rains are the only good weather IMO, even though snow takes better photographs.
Great video, as usual. I loved Linn's apartment, it was really cool and confortable. But in my opinion your home is even more beautiful, you are surrounded by nature. Thank you for sharing this awesome video.
We get snow in September in Montana every couple of years and we are thousands of miles south of you. We got 22 inches in the plains a couple of years ago. Much more in the mountains.
Hi Cecilia! Love the tour of Linn’s apartment. While others might not find it interesting, I know you have done previous videos touching on it, but I would love to see more of the amenities and shops that the residents use; are there hair salons/barber shops? Are there any nail salons or estheticians in shops or are these businesses run out of people’s homes? I would also love to see a more in depth tour of town, from a locals perspective - all of the various little shops, and little places that locals like to eat and drink.
I have binge watched something like 160 of your vids in the past couple of weeks and loved them all. Fascinating, entertaining, educational, relaxing, and all very enjoyable.
I'm watching from Wellington, FL. 3 and a half hours North of Key West. One hour North of Miami. I am in shorts, flip flops, and a tshirt because that is the uniform 11 months of the year. Course, we break out the jeans and a sweater for those "rough" winter days where it dips to a balmy 70 degrees F. Every now and then we get down to almost freezing, but it's rare and usually we break some old weather record from the 1930's. I grew up outside Boston, MA so I am familiar with long, cold, dark winters but once I moved to S Florida there was no going back. I like being able to take a shower and get dressed and go. No worries about my hair snapping off in the cold. No worries about catching pneumonia. It's bot uncommon to see women shopping in a grocery store holding an infant dressed in a diaper only. Kids go barefoot until they're forced to wear shoes for school. After work you can jump in the car and be at the beach and enjoy 2 or 3 hours of sunlight, or swim in the clear blue water. A lot of people kayak as a form of exercise in addition to biking or running. Though the cities make biking and running paths a priority since the weather makes those popular activities. The scenery there is gorgeous but knowing myself, living in a place where it stays dark for entire months would make it nearly impossible for me to get out of bed. As soon as my brain realized it's cold and dreary it would fight me to return to sleep. I would certainly be fired from any job for calling in sick so I could sleep! Also, getting dressed in multiple layers and strapping on a pair of heavy boots that need to be removed everytime you step into a building seems like a lot of effort. I have been spoiled by the pleasant weather and the laid back attitude of living in the deep South. I can't fathom not being able to jump in my car and taking in a weekend in Key West snorkeling and reading on a deserted sandbar then going to sleep with the sliding glass door open so I can hear the tiny waves breaking on the shoreline as I drift off to the sounds of grasshoppers chirping and alligators making alligator noises. lol
Una persona davvero incredibile: capace,spigliata e nel contempo molto semplice. I panorami sono unici grazie per averceli mostrati, ma non potrei viverci stabilmente. Amo la neve e il freddo (Abito nelle Dolomiti) ma, e soprattutto, gli alberi...e queste distese immense pur spettacolari senza una pianta.... Comunque seguirò i tuoi video molto interessanti. Grazie e buon lavoro.
Fantastic Apt. Best thing is that the 📺 isn't stationary to the wall. Which means you can change the furniture around when you want. Plus you makes the Apt looks 😘. Thank you for the tour 🇺🇲
I had to turn my heater on to warm up once I saw your snow as I felt so cold watching it... Mind you, it isn't exactly warm here in my neck of the woods for this time of the year, winter is still hanging on...
I'd never leave! I just discovered you while isolating due to having the yuck C virus so your videos have helped me keep my sanity in the last few days! I am original from Puerto Rico so your climate and way of living is the total opposite of mine. But that's why I'm falling in love with Griff and you guys! 🫂 🤗 Laura
Another awesome video! (More Grim, please! Still hope you do a video about Finnish Lapphunds.) I so look forward to seeing you in your magical land every Sunday - wish it was more often!
My favorite too, I rather use a snow blower, than a lawn mower any day, not a fan of summer bugs/mosquitoes and dog paws are much easier to keep clean when ground is snow covered. Hoping this year's El Nina brings lots of snow. 🤩🙏
I live in Alaska with my husband, I love how similar some things are to us, and also how wildly different. we got snow not to long ago but it's melted since then. thanks for always bringing us along and showing us beautiful Longyearbyen
Very interesting, thanks for sharing! The cost isn't too bad. It's a little hard to compare here in the U.S. because apartment/condo prices vary so much from city to city and neighborhood to neighborhood. We live in urban Texas and currently pay $1,800/month (rent) for a 2bd2ba in a nice neighborhood roughly 20min away from downtown.

Thank you Cecilia for that awesome tour of Linn's apartment. It's quite beautiful.🏤I loved how Grim was smiling at you when you come home.🥰 We love us some Grime.💞🦮 Your nail polish is 🔥!! Looking forward to going into the polar nights and the holidays with you guys via video. Longyearbyen is now my #1 bucket list destination one day. In my mind's eye, I imagine Christmas time would be a blast!!. The polar nights by cozy fires (inside and outside), all of the snow, going snowmobiling, the activities in the village, trying all the different types of cuisines, the lights and decorations, the...and of course, maybe a chance to meet you guys and Grime. Possibly treating you and Christoph to drinks and/or dinner, if you'd be down with that. I've watched and throughly enjoyed so many of your videos, I feel like I already know you. You're my friend in my head..lol 🤯Any way, let me get back to my current reality. 😄Thanks again for all of the great vlogs, and as always, stay blessed. 🙏💞
I lived as a child and young adult in the Canadian sub Arctic. Halloween had snowbanks. Really miss the snow living in southern Canada. We mostly have freezing rain in Winter and rarely have a proper snowstorm in southern Canada.. The advantage of the sub-Arctic is that there is some daylight in Winter and night in Summer. The tundra was as beautiful as you depict it, as were the Northern lights. Thank you for sharing your life in Longyearbyen, as it brings back beautiful memories of my childhood and early adulthood.
Linn is great! She has a beautiful sense of style. Thanks for the tour of her place. You'd make a GREAT realtor Cecilia.
Loved your video as always! Sidenote - $195,000 for a 1 bedroom apartment is not cheap no matter which country it is imo!!
Love seeing a different dwelling in town! It would be really fun to see the cheapest home on Svalbard as well as the most expensive. Does Linn ever AirBnB her apartment while she's away for several weeks?
Cecelia you do such a wonderful job editing! Beautiful!
Thank you so much! 😍🧡
Hi Cecilia is so beautiful to see the snow when is falling , the thing is after when you have to go out and keep going with the daily routine .
You are one of few people who, no matter they do, you do GREAT job. Well done for all content you brought to us so far!!!
Watching you video is pyre pleasure.
And, yes, the apartment is to die for. Skandinavian simplicity in its own glory. Love it!!! ❤️
I noticed the snow in the last video and it took me by surprise. Not that it’s a good thickness, but not too much it looks so perfect! Svalbard is so beautiful!! Maybe one day! 🤩😍
The snow took you by surprise? The place is above the Arctic Circle, half the distance between Northern Norway coastline and the North Pole!
Your cabin is so cosy, cant think the winter and Christmas is around the corner. 💕 Sending light and love to you and the guys🤟
Beautiful apartment! So nice of your friend to let you show it to us ❤
Linns apartment is beautiful, I love the view outside her living room window of the mountains.
Very interesting to see how people live in Longyearbyen! Thanks for sharing this Cecilia! 😃
Here in America we would call them “HOA Dues” HOA is Home Owners Association. You pay a fee for maintenance in the common areas and the outside of your home. For example, if a pipe breaks it’s your responsibility to repair if it’s inside your house, the HOA if it’s outside.
The snow is so dreamy! I loved when you spun around, the happiness in your eyes is so genuine !
Yay, wow wish we could experience snow like that, it’s rare to get proper snow in southern England. Love your videos and the music you use, soooo chilled 💕
I read Apartment and thought 2.1 million is 175 000 NOK a month in rent, that is just crazy. Then watching your video I realized it is not an apartment but a Condo (Condominium). 10 0000 a quarter is still quite some money for upkeep if you own the apartment but then many things are more expensive in Svalbard. Thank you for a nice video.
Apartment - Rent
Condominium - Own
You look so cozy in your beautiful coat! The snow and scenery makes me happy for what is to come to Ohio in November.
Awesome video. Love seeing the snow in Sept and Lynn's apartment is soooo nice. Very cozy and inviting. Love seeing Grim as well. ❤️❤️
Snowed at my house in Central Florida twice in the middle of May of 2020, even though if I hadn’t been a smoker then, I wouldn’t have noticed it since they were just gentle flurries and it was also during a weird period that lasted through the summer of “micro-cold fronts,” that seemed to come and go as quick as just a few minutes, or more likely, hours.
Rains are the only good weather IMO, even though snow takes better photographs.
Another great video! Linn’s apartment is beautiful! Thank you for showing Grimm, he is adorable ❤️🥰
Your place is so cozy. I love watching polar night times on your channel....the whole place is so cozy all of the time.
Happy Sunday! I look forward to seeing your videos every week ❤️❤️❤️
You're the best! 🧡
Great video, as usual. I loved Linn's apartment, it was really cool and confortable. But in my opinion your home is even more beautiful, you are surrounded by nature. Thank you for sharing this awesome video.
Love the snow at the beginning so beautiful and love the sound ❄❄❄❄
We get snow in September in Montana every couple of years and we are thousands of miles south of you. We got 22 inches in the plains a couple of years ago. Much more in the mountains.
Enjoyed seeing Linn’s apartment. Love when she is on your videos. She’s so good to let you film with her!
Beautiful apartment. Beautiful scenery. That apartment is less expensive per month than something similar in Tampa.
Hi Cecilia! Love the tour of Linn’s apartment. While others might not find it interesting, I know you have done previous videos touching on it, but I would love to see more of the amenities and shops that the residents use; are there hair salons/barber shops? Are there any nail salons or estheticians in shops or are these businesses run out of people’s homes? I would also love to see a more in depth tour of town, from a locals perspective - all of the various little shops, and little places that locals like to eat and drink.
Thank you 4 sharing this. I love snow. The town must love you both for sharing all the great things about your homestead.
I have binge watched something like 160 of your vids in the past couple of weeks and loved them all. Fascinating, entertaining, educational, relaxing, and all very enjoyable.
I find your videos so relaxing and calming. I wish you Cecilia millions and millions views, you deserve it.
I love watching your joy because of the snowstorm. Its wonderful to be young!
Hi Cecilia! Great video and love that nice corner shot with you and Grim at the end! Looks sooooo cozy!
Beautiful video, you look like a Snow Maiden ❄ The apartment is beautiful, so bright and airy, your friend was so lucky to get it xx
I love snow! It's so beautiful! There's nothing like the seasons! Changing!
I'm watching from Wellington, FL. 3 and a half hours North of Key West. One hour North of Miami. I am in shorts, flip flops, and a tshirt because that is the uniform 11 months of the year. Course, we break out the jeans and a sweater for those "rough" winter days where it dips to a balmy 70 degrees F. Every now and then we get down to almost freezing, but it's rare and usually we break some old weather record from the 1930's.
I grew up outside Boston, MA so I am familiar with long, cold, dark winters but once I moved to S Florida there was no going back. I like being able to take a shower and get dressed and go. No worries about my hair snapping off in the cold. No worries about catching pneumonia. It's bot uncommon to see women shopping in a grocery store holding an infant dressed in a diaper only. Kids go barefoot until they're forced to wear shoes for school. After work you can jump in the car and be at the beach and enjoy 2 or 3 hours of sunlight, or swim in the clear blue water. A lot of people kayak as a form of exercise in addition to biking or running. Though the cities make biking and running paths a priority since the weather makes those popular activities.
The scenery there is gorgeous but knowing myself, living in a place where it stays dark for entire months would make it nearly impossible for me to get out of bed. As soon as my brain realized it's cold and dreary it would fight me to return to sleep. I would certainly be fired from any job for calling in sick so I could sleep! Also, getting dressed in multiple layers and strapping on a pair of heavy boots that need to be removed everytime you step into a building seems like a lot of effort. I have been spoiled by the pleasant weather and the laid back attitude of living in the deep South. I can't fathom not being able to jump in my car and taking in a weekend in Key West snorkeling and reading on a deserted sandbar then going to sleep with the sliding glass door open so I can hear the tiny waves breaking on the shoreline as I drift off to the sounds of grasshoppers chirping and alligators making alligator noises. lol
Love your videos! Linn’s apartment looks nice! Cute, cozy, and functional.
Grim, why are you so darn cute?!?!?!?! That shot of him being adorable just melted my heart 😍🥰
I have never seem the snow in my life as a Brazilian. Looks the most interesting and fascinating thing in the world
Another fun tour in Svalbard! And a very needed touch of Grimm! Thank you.
My goal in life is too be as happy about everyday things as cecelia is about snow.
Thanks for sharing! I’ve always been curious as to what a common apartment in Svalbard looks like! ❤
Cecilia, thank you a lot. You are literally making my day better :)
Una persona davvero incredibile: capace,spigliata e nel contempo molto semplice.
I panorami sono unici grazie per averceli mostrati, ma non potrei viverci stabilmente.
Amo la neve e il freddo (Abito nelle Dolomiti) ma, e soprattutto, gli alberi...e queste distese immense pur spettacolari senza una pianta....
Comunque seguirò i tuoi video molto interessanti.
Grazie e buon lavoro.
Greetings from Montana, USA. Love your vids, my sunday chill time. The more I see of Svalbard, the more I want to visit.
Fantastic Apt. Best thing is that the 📺 isn't stationary to the wall. Which means you can change the furniture around when you want. Plus you makes the Apt looks 😘. Thank you for the tour 🇺🇲
I had to turn my heater on to warm up once I saw your snow as I felt so cold watching it... Mind you, it isn't exactly warm here in my neck of the woods for this time of the year, winter is still hanging on...
Cecelia out smiling on her deck with the snowfall gives me Elsa Frozen vibes. ❄️☃️🌨👸
I'd never leave! I just discovered you while isolating due to having the yuck C virus so your videos have helped me keep my sanity in the last few days! I am original from Puerto Rico so your climate and way of living is the total opposite of mine. But that's why I'm falling in love with Griff and you guys! 🫂 🤗 Laura
A snow storm in September.. AWESOME!!!
Enjoyed this and then seeing Grimm’s little face ! 🐶❤️
Another awesome video! (More Grim, please! Still hope you do a video about Finnish Lapphunds.) I so look forward to seeing you in your magical land every Sunday - wish it was more often!
Great channel Cecilia.. interesting videos every time! Svalbard calling!
This was a great video! Thank you for showing us how others live in Longyearbyen. I can’t wait for your next one!
I love it when the snow arrives. It means cosy in front of the fire and taking it easy…no more grass to cut.
My favorite too, I rather use a snow blower, than a lawn mower any day, not a fan of summer bugs/mosquitoes and dog paws are much easier to keep clean when ground is snow covered. Hoping this year's El Nina brings lots of snow. 🤩🙏
move to Longyearbyen ... no more mowing.
I always love the music you add to your videos!
Love the channel as I am astronomy geek to see this amazing world.
I watch all your videos Cecelia and I’ve always imagined you’ll be a great successful real estate agent. Nice apt and great feature!
I live in Alaska with my husband, I love how similar some things are to us, and also how wildly different. we got snow not to long ago but it's melted since then. thanks for always bringing us along and showing us beautiful Longyearbyen
Very interesting, thanks for sharing! The cost isn't too bad. It's a little hard to compare here in the U.S. because apartment/condo prices vary so much from city to city and neighborhood to neighborhood. We live in urban Texas and currently pay $1,800/month (rent) for a 2bd2ba in a nice neighborhood roughly 20min away from downtown.
Stunning view of the landscape from the lounge. ⛄
Yay, SNOW!!! I’m in Texas in the USA. It is very rare that we see any snow. So I love when you post all things snow!!! Thank you
Beautiful sunset thanks for showing us an apartment in your town nice time of year in Svalbart looks like Beautiful place
