Thank you to MSI for sponsoring this video! Check out the MSI Creator Z16 below:

Spending the day as a tourist in the World's Northernmost town, Longyearbyen! I always get questions on if you can travel to Svalbard, if we have any Hotels in town, and what the prices are like. So I decided to do a travel guide on Svalbard! Christoffer and I spend the whole day in town, showing you where to eat, where to stay and what activities to do. Maybe this inspires you to book your next vacation here, or perhaps you just enjoy some online travelling. I hope you enjoy this video and hanging out with us for the day!

Maybe in the future episodes you can feature short interviews of locals about their unique stories on how they ended up moving to Svalbard.

Every time you release a new video, I watch it while on my lunch break at work. It always makes my day. It’s amazing how you’re bringing your dream of a life to people at all corners of the globe. Please don’t ever stop publishing your content. That 2 weeks of absence had a lot of us quite worried. We are so glad to hear that you’re recovering from COVID, though. Can’t wait for the next video!

As a librarian I would love a tour of the Longyearbyen library! From what I have seen online it is great! And/or the museums you have there! 🤗

[linnienorth]

It's amazing being able to see how people live even in the northernmost town in the world.
Svalbard seems like an incredibly beauitful place to live. I'm glad that I found your channel

Snowmobiling in Longyearbyen is like a dream, I'm pretty sure many people feel the same! ❤🇳🇴

I have been binge watching your videos. I feel so warm and cozy when I watch them and I always feel like drinking a cup of coffee.
These videos encourage me to be the best that I can be and they allow me to live in hope, for all of my dreams. I live in the Caribbean but I would love to visit Svalbard. All because of you.
Your positivity is very uplifting. Thanks for sharing your lovely life.

Love your coverage and it looks beautiful. Thank you for sharing your home with all of us. Amazing that you matched your nails and hat! A fashionista also, you have to be the one woman that ABSOLUTELY loves the cold....not sure I could do it! However, I do want to come and experience the darkness

[randomlyamazing]

Your editing is fantastic. The music and the way your voice overs blend into the videos just makes so much sense. It's so easy and relaxing and inspiring to watch your videos. Thank you for the video.

Thank you for the memories, I mentioned here once that my husband and I won a trip to Svalbard through his company during a charity dinner event. It was absolutely magical, we stayed in Base Camp and had excursions by snowmobile to the northern most 'post office' on a small ship frozen in to the ice and a dog sled adventure too. I've walked along that high street and walked to the northern most church. We were in awe of the landscape around us. I've never forgotten landing around midnight and walking out to daylight! We certainly won't forget our trip and I love seeing it through your eyes.

I went to Svalbard last month and really had the best time of my life with all the excursions I've made, especially in snowmobile. And the landscape with the snow? Wow, beautiful! The only regret I have is that I wasn't able to see any northern lights because it was so cloudy and snowing at night. But still I had a blast!

Love the crunch of the snow as you and Grim step out of the cabin 🧡 Longyearbyen is so beautiful, i really enjoyed being a virtual tourist with you, Chris and Grim, love that colour on your nails! I would love to visit an ice cave, so many great tips, thank you xxx

[lynetteray]

I love Chirstopher. He is perfect for you! Such a 'cool' guy ready for whatever!

[HannahBMann]

This was one of the best integrated ads I've seen, Cecilia. And thank you for showing us around--so fun!

[rhonies]

Beautiful day. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home. -15 is to cold for me but I can travel through your videos.

[kotkurt]

11:00 feeling the vibe - Kristoffer is my spirit animal

[loripalmus]

Can't wait for the tour. Even though a year late. Love when you share your cups of coffee!

[ambercarson]

I would love a video on what to pack and wear during the different seasons!

[sophielarard]

Thank you so much for your videos! Me and my boyfriend will be coming to Svalbard Apr/May 2023, it was his 30th birthday gift that kept getting pushed back but now we have finally booked it! Really appreciate your recommendations! Can't wait to see this beautiful place! The sense of adventure in the cold we both have after meeting in Northern Scotland, a French and English couple, who then lived long distance between Canada and Sweden! We finally live together in France but miss the cold adventures, looking forward to cold dips if you have any recommendations of where it is safe to do this as we will be staying in Longyearbyen and travelling out with guides only! Thanks again, love your content!

Another outstanding and informative video. Lots of useful information for people looking to visit. The only thing I would add, most excursions are booked months in advance. My wife and I visited in 2019 and booked an east cost snow mobile trip well in advance of our trip. So the morning of the trip the tour operator said yesterday they went to the east coast and the ice conditions were not good. He recommended going to a glacier instead. In short the excursion you book might not be the one you take. Obviously the current weather conditions will be the deciding factor. My trip was not refundable which I totally understand. We still had a great trip and even saw a lone Polar Bear on the ice.
