Makeover Plans for our NEW CABIN ︱ Svalbard

What are our plans for our new off-grid cabin?! In today's video we go through all the changes we are thinking of making to our new cabin here on Svalbard! We also show you what cabin life looks like, with no water, no electricity, polar bears and all the other challenges that come with life in the arctic. I hope you enjoy the video and the start of this incredible journey! ✨

My book "Life on Svalbard" is available for pre-order! 😍⬇️

You can tell that Christopher loves being at the cabin. He is so smiley and talkative.😊

[OpenSesame]

Love seeing Christoffer smiling and happy. The complete lack of noise from engines and electronics must be absolutely wonderful. You are doing a first rate job of filming your experience.

[AparnaVenkat]

Christopher has an impeccable sense of humour and the cabin is bringing ALL of it out!! 🤣

[kimberlyskokan]

Cecilia, I never get tired of how much you love every day. When it’s bright and hot you say, “It’s beautiful.” When it’s cold and dark you say, “This is just amazing.” And, “Look at this.”

[RJ-mwgw]

A new tradition! Coffee through the window! I love it!

[Cassiebuble]

It’s so great that you and Christopher found each other and enjoy the same things! And Grimm is a darling!

[tikon]

I feel that when Cecilia says “we” bought a cabin, that includes me and almost 900k other people, I’m also exited about the new adventures, thank you for bring us along!

Every single video I am constantly amazed at Cecelia's ability to make you feel it. It's not just reading about it or watching a video, you TRULY feel the magic ❤️

[chuckmoreno]

I'm just getting over apainful divorce.your videos give me such peace& joy thank you.Kisses to grim!

[waldomiller]

I think Cristopher has finally relaxed and is starting to enjoy the camera. I think it has a lot to do with the new cabin. He is smiling more and looks very content.. So happy for you guys!!!!

[Doctor.shruti]

Nobody could have shown Svalbard more beautifully than you do.♥️ Thank you Cecilia💟

[BreCat]

Being totally off grid and watching Grimm do the things dogs do maybe an idea would be to get with his veterinarian and pack up the ideal Grimm first aid kit with things for tummy issues like canned plain pumpkin and probiotics. 🐾
Y’all look so excited. It brings my heat joy watching you.❤

🤣 Christopher’s “alright, alright, alright!” Lolol

[roamingelk]

Am I the only one who is thrilled that Chris is much more comfortable on camera and being filmed? I have loved following this channel for years and watching the evolution. Love, love, love that you allow me to follow along Cecilia! Thank you for the videos.

[jessicam]

I absolutely love that charming little kitchen and the window being an off grid version of a drive up window.

[jmiranda]

Cecilia and Christoffer, it’s a privilege to follow along on your adventures. As an introvert I’ve been impressed by Christoffer’s openness to try what must have been very hard for him at first. Love seeing him beam with happiness over this cabin. May you both have many, many years enjoying it.

Cristoffer is in his element. He’s so happy. Honey, I’m 63. I’ve spent the majority of my life offline. If a pay phone wasn’t available and/or if we didn’t have the dime to pay for it, we were stuck

[patbroekema]

All 3 of you look so happy. Fun to see Christopher grinning and smiling and excited ( in his own wonderful way).

For your drying area you may want to consider a wall mounted pull out drying rack. We used them at home because they allowed for more circulation & clothing dried faster.

I think I can tell how happy Christoffer is by him wearing ALL of his comfy clothes at once. Matching? SCHMatching! It's comfy!
