Stop using "crib" instead of "house", "home" or whatever. Crib is such an uneducated way of saying house.

So glad that you're having fun with your fam in such a beautiful place! Safe travels on your way back to Svalbard (hopefully I spelled that right 🤣) And I am super giddy that you used the term y'all! I'm from the southern part of the US and didn't know that term was used in other countries.

Your whole family has a very peaceful energy. People will talk about the nice house but it doesn't matter the house if there's no harmony inside

Glad you enjoyed it 😊

My parents retired to Mexico for 11 years (we are from the US, just north of Chicago), and it was always so lovely to visit them every year. While on the one hand I was happy they moved back in the end, I also very much miss visiting where they lived, as it was real Mexico.

I'm from the States and went to Porto and Lisbon on my first trip to Europe. You will absolutely love Porto! loved the Portuguese sardines (brought tons home for family and friends), and had the river cruise and wine tasting in Porto. One of my best trips ever.

Hello from USA....Im glad to see you getting some much needed sunshine. I worry when you dont get sun..We as human being we need some sunshine. i think polar days and nights can mess up the rhythm of your bodies. plus warmer weather gives you so much to do and enjoy, you can walk through the forest and have complete joy , peace. the birds are chirping the wind in the trees and then you are surrounded by complete silence. its just a beatuiful thing.....Love your videos

Love the birds in the background

Looks like paradise!

Hi Cecilla! Cindy from Colorado here,just wanting to let you know that I adore everything about you!!! You have the best personality and I bet all of us here would say you'd be a great best friend to have in real life, but having you here with us is almost as good. Love you sweetheart!!

You are so blessed to have the best of both worlds, warm and cold, sunny and dark, family at both places, exercise in both places, great food in both places, the same sky but different beauty! Thank you for sharing the amazing beauty of both!!!

Beautiful ocean views and sky. Love the 8am latte for VR reunion… trash tv and bonding! Sisters love!

How Special to have your parents to visit & enjoy family & the warm sun-❤ I like my pool water cool; motivates me to move.

A beautiful thing to spend time at the beach with family A fabulous childhood memory for me

Cecilia, it was nice meeting you and Grimm today on our hike! What a great place Svalbard is, we luckily got a ride back from a guide instead of walking the additional 10km+ back to Longyearbyen. Thanks for taking the time to chat with us!

It's wonderful you can visit your sister and have quality time with your niece. Family is so important and we should all visit our families as much as possible. In this crazy world we live in we never know what tomorrow may bring.Enjoy your vacation and best wishes on your run.

Your life is BLESSED Cecilia! ❤

This looks like it was such an amazing trip 😄 happy to hear how much you enjoyed it!

Your little niece is so pretty❤ It's nice to have a change of weather, you get the best of both worlds. Your mom's house is stunning and those views are unparalleled.

It’s a beautiful place. I worked with 3 Portuguese women decades ago & they were so sweet. Always trying to feed me😂. Swallows are insane! They zip around me at the park & somehow don’t crash into me. Stay awesome dear one!❤️

As an adoptee I've never seen anyone who looks like me, so when I see families with a strong resemblance to each other I have such a weird fascination. Especially families that seem to actually like each other! You are so lucky! Great video, thanks for sharing. :)

So wonderful to see you visiting your family ❗ Looks beautiful and your parents home is gorgeous! What difference seeing you in a tropical background.

Oh my! What an absolutely gorgeous place your parents have! I don't think I would ever leave!

Praia da Cordoama is my favorite beach to surf at. 🥰 And don’t forget Madeira - it’s amazing too!

Thanks again for taking us along with us to your parents home! I love too love Portugal, my father was born in S. Miguel Azores and I’m fortunate to have a family home there. Like the Algarve tourists and expats are really changing the affordability for the locals. It’s a double edged sword really, tourism creates jobs which they lacked before but the influx of people pushes the cost of living SO much higher.

I live in the US and we have a covering for windows that goes right on the window and blocks the sunlight. It’s mostly used for night workers that sleep days. Perhaps you could look on line and buy some for at least your bedroom window.

Sue here: okay, paradise!!!!! 🌴 So so clean and breathtaking - gore - jiss (in your accent lol). Love all your videos and perspective. I'm sure Grim and Kristopher miss you 🥶.

I really loved this video and seeing another part of you and you with your family. It is so nice to meet them. Hope you do more like this. Portugal is stunning and suits you too

Cecilia, Your genuine enthusiasm and gratitude for everything around you is contagious! I love your attitude and mindset. You are such a blessing! 💙🫶🏼

Portugal is beautiful and your parents’ home is absolutely stunning. I can see why you enjoy going back so often - I can feel such a zen energy from there through my phone.

I would absolutely live there in a HEARTBEAT! The palm trees there are spectacular. I love me some palm trees!!

Shout out to Christopher and Grimm,.. they must be missing you terribly. I know I would be.😘Another amazing video as always,... please be safe.

Cecilia, thank you for all of the beautiful shots of the Algarve coastline. And your niece of course!! Wherever I am in the world, I could live in a shack if there is a beautiful coast or mountains and a gorgeous sunset.

I've definitely added Portugal to my "have to go to" list now! ❤

These Portugal videos are my favorite 😊

I love seeing the contrast between your northern home and sunny Portugal..

Thanks for posting this, looks incredible there, but like you, I too prefer the snow over hot anytime. Have a safe trip home Cecilia. I'm sure the boys (Christopher and Grim) are eager to see you!

Love your family house in Portugal. It looks so majestically warm and I’m loving your videos from there. I’m glad you get to enjoy it from time to time.

Great video! Portugal looks so beautiful! I didnt know speed puzzling was a thing, its i impressive. Also, I love Vanderpump Rules, and all that mindless T.V. too 🙂

Your parents home and setting is beautiful and soothing. I would imagine being back in Svalbard must be quite the shocker after the lovely temps and weather in Portugal. But wonderful to be back home too to Christoffer and Grim...

I don’t watch your channel because of Savlbard, I watch for you whether you live in Svalbard, Portugal or move here to NYC. You look like you had an amazing time, being in more comfortable weather surrounded by your family and seeing more people. OMG you watch Vanderpump Rules too, I can’t wait for Part 3!

Stunning. Thank you for this 16 minute visual escape to paradise. Your niece, is a doll. :)

It is beautiful there! ❤. It is amazing how Portugal and Svalbard are so different but are so beautiful in their on unique ways. Thank you, Cecilia for putting this video together while visiting with your family! ❤

Thank you Cecilia. Portugal looks nice. Blacking out the bedroom window really helps in summer!

Thank you for sharing your days at home with us! It's absolutely GORGEOUS there ❤

You always bring us so much BEAUTY! Wherever you are. Your warmth and sincerity shine through snowy landscapes and brilliant sunshine! Just a joy to watch!

It is so interesting how you noticed the opposite effect of the sunlight because the dark nights allow you to re-energize! So fascinating how the body adapts and shifts to its environment. Portugal is gorgeous, I can't wait to visit some day!

Your parents have a beautiful home and that pool 😍. It’s weird seeing you without winter clothing, if you know what I mean!! 😅😅. You described how tiring it can be on Svalbard and I wondered if you ever think you would live elsewhere? But as you say you can always visit your home in Portugal! A lovely video! Good luck with the 1/2 marathon!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🥰🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️

What an amazing vacation and time with family…priceless ❤

Loved this video. Portugal looks beautiful! Nice to have a change of scenery every now and then.

What a beautiful place to visit! I'm not a sun worshipper, but once in a while, heat is nice. Your parent's house is amazing! You get the best of both worlds. You must miss Grim and Chris terribly, as I'm sure they miss you. Hope you tape your arrival. I can't wait to see Grim so excited to see you. Love as always.

OMG - you and your sister look so much alike, especially in profile. (Well, it stands to reason, of course). That's so cool that your parents got their home before the prices soared. What a gorgeous area! After your description of Portugal, I'm sitting here fantasizing winning the lottery, buying a house in that area, and just exploring Portugal (after teaching myself the language). Wait - why was there a chunk missing from that puzzle? Haha - I love working puzzles! I didn't know there were speed competitions. Ahaha - the swallows are gobbling up the evening insects. 😊 This time of year, they might also have nestlings to feed. Lots of shopping to do!

Great video - so beautiful seeing your parent's lovely space again! ❤

We appreciate your dedication and hard work. God bless you all.

What a beautiful area! Glad you had a wonderful visit with your family. ❤
