- In this video I talk to you about my experience living with the cold dark winters of Northern Sweden. This is my first time living in such a harsh climate. My video was inspired by Jonna Jinton, an amazing and inspirational woman who has lived and documented her experiences of this beautiful land for 10 years.
Check out her video. • Living with the Dark W...
I have also started working on a website where I will share my story with you in more detail. On this site, you can expect to find tools that have helped me to transform my mindset and to find peace wherever I am. These tools shaped my mindset allowing me to make the move to come to Sweden. In the future I will provide the practical steps you need to make the move to Sweden, if that’s your desire. You can also expect access to my self-development book club and read my blogs and reflections. I look forward to sharing more with you.

Hey everyone, My name is Naomi Cave-Browne-Cave 👋
In summer 2020, amidst a global pandemic, My husband and I uprooted our lives in Central London and decided to move to Northern Sweden.
We were fed up of living on top of millions of other people in London, living out of one room in a flat shared with Naomi's parents, all whilst studying, working, creating UA-cam content and launching our business.
So we bought a car, packed it full of our belongings, and drove nearly 3000km to Sweden with no idea where we were going to live.
So join us as we share and document our journey through film.
We are so pleased to share our journey with you and hope to build a community of people who can support one another and grow together.
Lots of love
Naomi

So true. Being Swedish i can say i go through these feelings every year and I´m so grateful for the light and the sun returning. Life comes back to everything, animals give birth, nature awakens, and humans wake up from the dark winter, it´s almost like being re-born. We actually have a word for this time of the year, ”vår-vinter” (spring-winter) and i think all of us can relate to this. You see people everywhere just staring at the sky. Beautiful
“Re-born” yess that is exactly what if feels like. We had a few days of sun and instantly my mood was lifted. It was almost a shock I didn’t realise how low i had been ❤️
Love it
Spring winter is my favorit time of the year. ❄️🌅You feel your hope and light is returning 💖
There isn't any camera that can accurately capture what experiencing a big, lively and erratic aurora borealis feels like. It's otherworldly and such a deep spiritual sensation unlike nothing else you've experienced. It's totally unique. It's like you're all of a sudden connected to the entire universe and all those who walked the earth before you.
Wow, you described it so beautifully, a 'spiritual sensation' , I didn't have the words to describe it but, this is perfection. You are a born writer, thank you for sharing your experience with us ❤️
@@NaomiandJack glad I could help with putting it into words ❤ I still remember the first time I saw one, and what that did to me. It is a feeling that is so difficult to describe. No words. No photo, can really do it justice. But those of us, whom been lucky enough to have had the experience? I think we can draw forth what we felt when a close enough word is being used.
Whenever I get the pleasure of seeing one, even the faint in color, earie ones. That only dances across the sky for a fleeting few moments. I can't help but feel connected to my ancestors. It's like the Aurora Borealis represents a spiritual bridge between the here and now, everything that's been, what is to come, and what lies beyond this mortal life.
The Swedish winters for a British person can be brutal. Many of us get depression, our mood goes down. But, you will never appreciate the Spring and Summer more again. If you wonder why Swedes take all of July off on vacation, you will soon understand. The depression of December is replaced with the joy of July. This is why the Swedes are often on the top of the list of the Worlds happiest people. As a British man I have never before taken joy in seeing the first buds of Spring. The greenness of May/June/July. I am so looking forward to see your experiences of it ! :-)
I already appreciate the glimpses of sun just amazing !!! I don’t think I have worshipped the sun soo much ha
Your words are soo poetic! I look forward to experiencing the joy of July after such a long winter. Thank you for sharing your thoughts ❤️
"Yes, of course it hurts when buds are breaking.
Why else would the springtime falter?
Why would all our ardent longing
bind itself in frozen, bitter pallor?
After all, the bud was covered all the winter.
What new thing is it that bursts and wears?
Yes, of course it hurts when buds are breaking,
hurts for that which grows
and that which bars"
/Karin Boye, famous swedish poet
Naomi your storyline is so intriguing that I am waiting for you to write a book about your life experiences from the UK to Sweden.
I would honestly love to write a book, it’s been a dream of mine since I was in my teens. Hopefully you like the blogs I about to create for now ❤️❤️
I’m danish living I Sweden Malmö and I think Sweden is so beautiful, After seeing your videos I need to visit Lapland.
I always love your videos, you have a gift, you should be writing, because there is a book inside of you. Always LOVE!
Wow, thank you! I have always wanted to be writer! this means so much to me ❤️
Please capture these lessons. They are amazing.
I think she is on the right track, making such beautiful videos. She manages to visualize the beauty of living in the rural northern areas of Sweden in a very seductive way even convincing me that life in the dark nordic winter may be a gift. This video was so poetic and so good that now I just have to watch another one....
You have the best times a head. The spring is a long celebration of life in Lapland.
I am soooo excited I feel like I have had a little taste of what’s to come 🥰🥰
The Northern Light is so beautiful.
the best ever! thank you for your comment
isn’t Mother Nature just spectacularly beautiful!!! stay safe and warm💋🇺🇸fla
Jeez, Naomi, didn’t you just turn 25? Look at everything you’ve accomplished! Most people don’t get all that done in a lifetime. And look how much you’ve gotten done in the last 7 months. (Has it really been that long already? 😱)
Everything works together. Don’t rush the process. Let it happen in the fullness of God’s time. 🙏🏽🤲🏽
Such a beautiful video! You have such an articulate expression. This is one of my favorite video's. I love that you are so real and put forth your innermost feelings. You are a Beautiful Soul and I love the fact that Jack is still somewhat in your videos! God Bless you both on your journey called Life .
Awh thank you so much! This means a lot, especially as when I came to make this video I was in a weird head space, I took a day out and I am happy with the video. I am always trying to sneak Jack in hehe , I will continue to do so as long as he lets me 😂❤️
Guys cherish that special thing you two have, because it is beautiful.
Nay you are one of the best UA-camrs I look forward to watching. Your voice is so calming and captivating.
She's inspirational...its amazing how remarkable she is.
This video has calmed me on a not so calm day. The editing is top notch and the photography stunning. Naomi you should do audio book readings. You are the soul whisperer. ❤️
Aw glad to bring you peace on a not so calm day. I hope the day gets better❤️ I love it the ‘soul whisperer’ ☺️
What a stunning location in 🇸🇪 looks just perfect👍The aurora borealis 🤩
The picture of the house at night time looks like a Christmas card. Beautiful.
Love the pajamas and candles!!!
Haha they are my go too every day!
Ahhh I feel vindicated! I live in Saskatchewan (also very cold many months if the year) and I have always lit candles and my partner has always teased me about it.....thank you!
I love you guys! Gratitude is the elixir of life! Thank you for sharing your lights with us!
Light is life. In spring life will blossom.
The darkness of long winter nights is what we have to pay for the fantastic bright summer time.
So very true and a price I am more than willing to pay beverages Sweden is magical ❤️
Naomi, I love you and your husband. I am 65 years old I have learned so much from your channel. I even purchased The Magic Book and love it. I am on day 7 and I tell everyone about it. It has helped to start to change my life. I love the beautiful scenery of Sweden. I do not miss any of your Videos. I am going to join your Website Gratitude Changed my Life. I can not wait until you launch it. Again, please keep doing what you are doing it is changing our lives.
Naomi love the way you tell us your stories its like music to my ears and those skies wow !! Thank you for taking the time to make these wonderful videos that you share with us very lucky people
Thanks Naomi for the "Northern Lights". Miss You Jack. God Bless both of You. This experience is magical. Gratitude!
Glad you enjoyed it! thank you for taking the time to comment and thank you for sticking with us for sooo long! I hope you are okay
@@NaomiandJack Yes, I am fine. Just doing "Me" Always.🥰
A wide variety of us have LIVED similar experiences for centuries, the difference is we didn't have the technology that exists today to record, edit, and post it for others to see. Today, we can do far more than tell stories, we can post videos where viewers can truly see what, where, and how things happened which is AMAZING, and what you are doing!!!
You know what you are so right! People have lived these lives before, I guess I am soo shocked and in awe by everything because I had never seen it. I had seen Zambia and London and never thought of anything else 🥴😂 thank God for the internet ... also thank you for being a long time supporter how are you? ❤️❤️❤️
@@NaomiandJack I am GREAT!! Dealing with this Arctic Blast is wearing us out all across America, and I feel SO BAD about all they are going through across Texas, but because of Climate Change, it will persist. I am SO HAPPY that you are living and learning SO MUCH, and as time passes, you are going to thoroughly educate, inform, and make a wide variety of people around the world more knowledgeable about life in general. You and Jack are doing an AMAZING JOB, and your subscribers and viewers will continue to grow. LOVE YOU!!!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Thank you for sharing, it's a bit like listening to a fairy tale being read. Stay blessed ✨
Such a beautiful place.
Naomi you are honestly one of the most beautiful souls I have ever seen ♥️
I will never give up on my dream to get to Sweden... Love you guys so much...so inspirational xxx
OMG I just LOVE the way the snow sparkles...I miss the snow...love your videos...thanks for all that you share
The house looks so beautiful with the lights on and smoke out of the chimney. Like a postcard picture. Would make a lovely Christmas card .
Darkness is nothing, it's an old friend. I visits you more often in the winter. It means you no harm, it's not dangerous. It's just darkness, nothing more.
It won't devour your soul, unless you ask it to. Life without our old friend Darkness would be horrible!
Darkness is the sister of light, and we should love them both equally.
Wow this sent shivers down my spine so poetic 😍
@@NaomiandJack Thank you, that means a lot to me! And poetic or not, it's the truth :-)
The majestic beauty of GOD'S grandeur in this video moved me to tears. Every scene was picture post card/story book worthy. Enjoy YOUR life 🙏; THANKS so MUCH for sharing 🙌
Wow I am so glad it touched you in such a way, may God bless you ❤️
@@NaomiandJack Thank YOU🤗; may GOD bless YOU an ALL your life endeavors😉
Hi Naomi and Jack hope you having a great time on the other side lol with the snow nice to see another video again stay bless ❤🇬🇧
Thank you so much we are well ❤️
Thanks Naomi darlin'.... 💛
Luv your vids & music!! You and your beautiful soulmate flame are living my dream life... how lucky you are to be so blessed 🧡😘🧡
OMGosh, I can't wait to view the northern lights. Just watching the footage made my insides quiver with anticipation.
The scenery is just breaktaking.
Poetry in Rhythm and Expression. (Thank you for sharing, Ms. Naomi.) Sheer Excellence!
Thank you for this lovely video. If I saw the Northern lights in person, the beauty would overwhelm me and I'm sure I would weep.
Northern lights have been on my bucket list.
The Aurora Borealis is beautiful indeed 😍
The best ever !
The Northern Lights or so beautiful on film I can only imagine what they look like in person.
I've lived 30 years in Sweden and never seen the northern lights... now it's definitely on my bucket list!
You have to go north
It’s a must! We can host you if you like ! I will pray for no clouds too haha
Wow!!! I have only seen the northern light in am old movie. You are Blessed to have seen them, and in your own back yard!!!
I knowww right! I still can't believe how lucky I am, so magical ❤️
Very nice..I so agree, gratitude is an amazing gift we can experience as we articulate our gratefulness
tack för underbar video
tack för att du tittade❤️
We love having you in Sweden!
I love your videos. Your voice is so soothing. I don't even watch them half the time I just listen.
Magical experiences. Love seeing the Northern Lights
Why do I feel like I'm also living with you guys in Northern Sweden, I swear I've seen myself cut wood like Jack and rolling in the snow like Naomi... I also understand what you said about the darkness that it forces you to look inside of you and confront hidden stuff some rooted for years.
Just found your channel and I have to say I binged watched all of your renovation videos and your story about how you guys got the house! I LOVE your energy Naomi ♥
You certainly have got your share of winter. Here in the southern Sweden also got snow for the first time in eight years! But it's quickly melting away and snowdrops and other spring flowers pop up.
Girlll your voiceover in this video is mesmerizing I’m telling you. It has a great calming effect as we become instantly intrigued listening to you share you journey. I think you’d have a big success as a voiceover talent for stories, documentaries or anything to uplift people all over the world with that God given beautiful voice‼️ it’s one of the reasons why I love coming to your channel to listen to your amazing voice and to be inspired by your philosophical thoughts. Ohh I’d give anything to witness the northern lights that would make great photography to my portfolio. ♥️
Wow thank you so much! If you are ever in Sweden we are happy to host you ❤️ I am so glad you enjoyed the video and my voice . I never actually knew people liked my voice so it’s always nice to hear ❤️❤️
@@NaomiandJack Oh my goodness what such a kind gesture‼️ Thank you 🙏🏻 I’ll keep that in mind. I’m hoping to travel to Europe next year in the summer. A dream of mine‼️ I’m from NYC, USA. Yes, your voiceover is amazing and I’m hard of hearing but I can still hear you and enjoy listening. Thank you Naomi ♥️ Yours, Lisa
I'm happy you finely got to see the aurora borealis one of God's most creations. I myself this is one of my wishes. Continue on with your blog and your new chapter of gratitude and creation.❤
How you manage to remain positive in the winter darkness is inspiring but I agree, the darkness awakens something in you. I live in italy, its cold and the winter months really affect my mood terribly but slowly I'm getting better . You are inspiring ✨❤
Congratulations on your website, it's the awakening of the darkness . I too started a website 3 months ago in the cold dark winters . All the best in your endeavours. I'm already subscribed to your website 😊
Send me your website would love to see it! And I have had my dark time too I just hibernate hehe but it’s good to reflect and be still and alone every now and again ❤️
@@NaomiandJack it's a fashion blog, keeps me active in the winter. It's basictoglamchic.com . Talk of hibernation, finally some sun and flowers coming here 🙌😍. I still think you culd do podcasts with ur voice , who knows, maybe 🤗. Cin cin 🥂
How time flies seven months already. Wow. Great that's one of the beauties of living in the north at winter time.
I knoooww right! loving every moment of it . . . even tho today was really cold haha
I have to admit once AGAIN...
Jack creates/produces some of the BEST amateur videos, that "I" have ever seen among UA-cam vloggers.
With Naomi's beautiful voice for storytelling, the audio aspect enhances their videos and her husband Jack knows this. He on the other hand utilizes nature to his advantage, as he obviously understands the wisdom in embracing what's readily available and costs ABSOLUTELY nothing to get the job done.
What a pair...that such is their UNIQUENESS.🙏🏽
Thank GOD for LOVE...A LOVE that sees beyond what the eyes see, and a mind which thinks like GOD'S INTENDED❣ This is a TESTAMENT of two HEARTS becoming ONE ❣💞💯
Thank YOU. Your videos always improve my mood!
Thank you for sharing your journey. This video touched me in a way I wasn’t expecting. Sending blessings your way.
The sky looks fantastic.
I just love your voice. I'd love to hear you do visual meditations! My pastor would do them and I'm sure with all of your travels you could transport us to the calm warm waters of Bali or many other places you've been. Throw in a couple of mindfulness quotes -- I'm there! Love to both You and Jack.
Ikea bags are perfect for moving firewood indoors. Nordlys is beatiful!
Such beauty and serenity where you guys are located. You all have a gift with your videos and songs. 🥰 love it.
wow cool winters in longyearben
still remember.
want them again
It’s beautiful 🤩 not for everyone for sure. So happy for you both 🥰
Northern Lights and singing omg so cute 😍
Grattis till din bästa video! Jag har följt er hela tiden. Love your beautiful english.
im also planning to move to sweden within a few years, been a dream for so long, and jonna might have pushed me over the edge to really do it.
I wish I had your energy/excitement Naomi, it makes a huge difference to others 🙂
I enjoy your footage and ALL it's content thanks for sharing. Thanks to u and Jack.. our creater is good
Gorgeous scenery and I love your choice of music. I don’t know if I could handle the long darkness. I count the days until daylight savings time in USA to get the extra hour of light in the day. And every day since January 1, I’ve been counting the minutes that I have more light each day. I just feel so tired and lonely in the darkness even though I have people around me.I guess because it’s cold and snowy so I feel stuck in and just want sunshine and grass under my feet. But I’m glad you are enjoying your new experience.
Aw I can totally relate, there is a loneliness to winter, I found I purposefully hibernated from people which was actually so helpful and also lonely! It is tricky! Being outside when it’s light definitely helps and it’s been fun exploring the winter spots. Which part of the USA are you from?
@@NaomiandJack I’m from the east coast, in the state of New Jersey. I so enjoy your positivity Naomi. You are a breath of freshness.I so enjoy looking at things through your eyes.
Beautiful
Love your videos, so full of positive energy!
After more than a decade in Norrbotten I am finally moving on with life. I can't say how much I am gonna miss the quit and peace on site of the world. Please visit more in Norrbotten. Cheers.
SOOOO amazing. I just LOVED this. So spiritual and so true about what you talked about with the darkness.. Thanks for sharing this beautiful and magical experience with us.
Beautiful video! So fun watching you guys experience our backyard. I live about one hour away from you and I have really been enjoying seeing our part of Sweden through your eyes. Thanks for posting, keep up the good work! 💕from Boliden
Omg you are soo close, we should have fika ... post COVID haha. Thank you for watching how long have you lived here?
Hi there! So fun you answered! I have lived here almost my whole life, accept a few years when i studied at the uni in Luleå. As i said earlier, its been really interesting seeing you guys discover all thats make this part of our country so special. Makes me feel even more grateful for living here 😍 A fika would be awsome, post covid of course 😀 Have a nice weekend 💕
I just love the snow, it’s soo perfect.
What a beautiful video. Thanks Naomi.
Another good one Naomi! You never fail to give me something to think about in a different way. I come away grateful for life itself for those I love and for nature as she demands our absolute respect or else. Ty both! Glad you found that phone and that it still serves it's purpose! 💋
What you were saying reminds me of what each season is meant to do! Winter clears everything away, shakes away everything that doesn't belong, so that Spring can come in with all fullness! Stanley Horowitz - 'Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all.' Northern Lights...love it! Song of Solomon 2:11-13 to you Naomi!
Love your journey and you insights!!! Thank you for sharing.
Love this, miss Jack........why am I worried about him? Maybe it's my Mum instinct, can't help it.
Awh thank you honestly, he was in a bad place and other than UA-cam he made other big life changes but because of them he is soo much happier ❤️❤️
@@NaomiandJack Then that's all I need to hear. Give him a cuddle from me, a big proper Northern Mancunian cuddle!
You're amazing. This was a wonderful video full of poetry and beauty. Thank you for sharing your story about the quest to find The Northern Lights.
You two crack me up and make me ponder on the important things in life. The little things that mean alot. as a fellow Londoner, i agree that unfortunately London is a stop not a stay for one's own mental health. I'm looking forward to your gratitude posts.
Thanks for sharing the Northern lights with us. So beautiful.
Beautiful, I love the snow and would love to see the Northern lights , 😆
So glad you shared this
It actually seems ridiculous that some people would dislike this video
This looks like heaven to us! 😍
Hoping to get up there from Liverpool next winter 🤞🏼
Just wonderful.
Thank you Naomi for this wonderful lights , this is amazing !!! Have a great time , love your videos !!👍👍😁😁Greetings from Germany !!🙋🙋🤗🤗

Haha this place I feel has really opened me up thank you for your kind words, I love the transformation too🥰
Mums prayers were answered 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Lovely video naomi and good luck on your new gratitude videos. Keep up the good work💜
We have soooo much to be grateful for in this life. Each and every day.
We have a choice, every day, to give thanks to our Creator and Father YAHUWAH.
With a heart of thanksgiving, we realize that no matter what we face, God is there for us.

"I will give thanks to You, YAHUWAH, with all my heart; ❤💖
I will tell of all Your wonderful deeds.” ~~ Psalm 9:1

Nice seeing you ,please give my regards to Jack.God bless you both.🇬🇾🇬🇾
Thank you for sharing the northern lights. I went to Alaska last year in hopes to see them and it did not happen. It was beautiful. That means a lot to me that you seen the lights and shares them.
Absolutely beautiful views!
But Naomi , I love your positive attitude.
Thanks Naomi and Jack.
