Surviving the Arctic winter in the back of a van

  • The time has come to leave Norway and to head over to Sweden in the camper van, in search of extreme cold temperatures during the Arctic winter. And joining me again today is ‪@MispronouncedAdventures‬
    On the way there I was blessed by Mother Nature with the most amazing sight, and one I will never forget!
    Following that, we headed to the town of Kiruna, and found a van life park up for the night. I then explored the Ice hotel before heading deep into the Arctic wilderness. It was an incredible night where we trekked across a frozen lake!
    There were some worrying sounds coming from the forest, and some thick snow made an appearance to top it all off. What an incredible part of this Arctic van life road trip!

    Another worthy example of quality video making. The wife just came in and caught me watching, she said "not another van video", I rebuked her with: "this is not just another van video, this is 'our man' Adz on tour representing our home town with amazing footage from a dream journey", she smiled with a gentle air of understanding and went into another room to watch Eastenders. 🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣

I'm not gonna lie I am major jealous of your ability to travel anywhere in the pigeon. I think the BBC should employ you. I got quite emotional when you managed to get footage of the northern lights it is breathtaking. Need more adventures for me to binge watch over breakfast. ✌🏻👍🏻
