Are We Moving from Svalbard?

Are we making the move from Svalbard? After seeing many comments about this on my recent videos, I thought it would be good to sit down in front of the fire and talk about it! Christoffer also weighs in on how he would like the future to unfold 😊 We also walk down on the frozen fjord to enjoy the cold cold weather! I hope you enjoy this video! Thank you so much for being here, I love y'all! ✨

Can I just say that regardless of what you end up doing, for tens of thousands of us, you put Svalbard on the map. You introduced us to this beautiful slice of heaven, a part most of us would not have known of without you and this beautiful channel. You have done more for Svalbard than any chamber of commerce. You, Christoffer and Grimm are a beautiful family and I look forward to your future successes. This channel, with its low key, beautifully edited storytelling sets the bar for this genre on YouTube

I love the idea of you guys getting property on the mainland. Not only is it smart to buy and renovate while you’re young, but being close to friends and family is super important too. I’ll watch no matter where you live.

It is so kind of Grim to share his YouTube channel with you and Christopher.

I returned from a magical trip to Svalbard recently. From Australia. Literally the opposite end of the earth. I was inspired by you Cecilia. I will never forget it. ❤

Well, sometimes, all I can think of is that there would be no more magical place in the world to spend a childhood than right in your beautiful cabin and your surrounding land!! How incredible to spend days sliding down a hill to the frozen seashore, with a loving lap hound by your side, then climb a ladder up a snow covered hill to a warm fire to warm your hands! All just a “few kilometers” away from Santa, busily working at the North Pole!
The incredible beauty there is breathtaking!! And this is only from videos!! I can only imagine what it must be in reality! 🤩
So, when thinking about your future with a family with children, you could offer something immensely magnificent, and loving and unique and oh so beautiful. 💜

I personally watch YouTube channels because I like the people behind them... not where they live. Svalbard is beautiful, but ultimately you have to make choices for you... not your audience. A Cecilia video is a Cecilia video... no matter where it's filmed. ❤

Cecilia: it’s crisp today

The sea, literally frozen: am I a joke to you?

[nancymacdonald]

Your imagination is endless. Having Grimm do the commercial is precious.

[christophermelo]

Grim barking a warning when you first went down the hill, then sliding down with you when he realized it was OK....no better display ever of "man's best friend!" Good boy Grim!

[heyajoy]

We should all learn from Christofer. He doesent seem to 'want' much. Contentment. What a great place to be in.

My Golden Retriever, Leo, and I cannot get enough of Grimm! He has inspired Leo’s weight loss journey from 102 lbs (in December 2021) to 85 lbs today (March 2024!). Thank you Grimm and Cecilia! ✌️❤️😊

I had husky, he lived for 14 years! He lived in our house all his life and slept with me in my bed like a king! 👑 He had a best life. We miss him so much. ❤ Now we have a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. She is already 6! How time flies. I love to watch your videos. 😊 In Croatia we don't have so much snow, so I love it! Kiss Grimm for us, he is adorable!😊❤

[kaivalyam_healing]

Cecilia, I will watch whatever you post, from wherever you post. It’s the Cecilia content that matters! ❤

[aidamartinez]

Grim doing the commercial is beyond cuteness!!! LOVE HIM!!❤❤❤

[dorindaconley]

Cecelia, you are so talented and full of heart. You have gotten me through 2 surgeries and 3 weeks of no energy. I have ADHD and your videos are so helpful in being therapeutic and relaxing. Please always follow your heart.

[ruthellis]

Grim does the only adverts on youtube that I actually watch for pleasure instead of fast forwarding through! x

[skyes]

The noise the snow makes is one of my favourite sounds in the whole world. I’ve only spent one winter in the north of Europe many years ago but that sound still brings back fond memories.

[thereseallen]

Can we all just appreciate how freaking adorable and good Grimm is.🖤

3:37 when you talked about rethinking everything: this year I decided to try to go to veterinary school! I am a vet nurse, but I decided I want to try for veterinary!

Your drone footage of the frozen fjord is spectacular! The ice chunks look like a work of art. What a beautiful place you live in.
