I come from Hong Kong, a hustle and bustle city. After watching your videos, I like them very much. They gave me not only a chance to see how beautiful your country is but also made me feel peaceful and quiet when I saw how you live a life with grace and thankfulness. Keep up.
I personally appreciate you tube videos that aren’t so polished, more of a real insight into your world
Absolutely adore your videos! I feel so lucky and, in fact, privileged to have stumbled on your link and have had the opportunity to join you on your journey and adventures. I love your country and I find that the way that you present it has inspired me to nudge it higher on my bucket list of places to visit. This particular video, like the others I have watched, put me in a positive energy zone...and I thank you for that. The silence that you afforded us, the viewers, as you sat outside and listened to the birds and bees was very powerful for me. Sometimes the ability, or innate sense, to not speak but rather allow the moment to carry us to a different dimension is so underestimated. Many videographers and bloggers lack the confidence to do that but you did it perfectly here. It's a natural talent that allows it to be seamless and without pretension. I applaud you and send the three of you hugs and belly rubs for the kitty. 🌍From Canada...♥

Thank you so so much
Such a beautiful video Maria. The photography of the coast at Norway is wonderful. I like the lamp and the snow falling with you standing there, very effective and quite magical. Good to see Kitty doing so well. Lots of excellent content in this video, I will watch it again as going into a mountain is pretty awesome! Enjoy your spring! Greetings from Scotland.
Hello Maria, Your videos keep on getting and better. This one is my favourite so far. You captured some absolutely magical shots in this video. Plus your storytelling skills are always fantastic which blends well with each and every one of your videos. Well done. Have a fantastic day. 🙂

Hello! Thank you so much, I am really glad you enjoyed this one as I was struggling a bit with it :-) You too
Your footage from the west coast accompanied by ethereal music was hauntingly beautiful. Your table came out so well; I think you chose the perfect stain. I would have gotten sick to my stomach for sure on that steep train ride! I'm sorry you got sick, and hope all is well now.

Dear Maria, thank you so much for your beautiful work here on KZread and also the work you do for all the school children together with Bendik ♥️ I wish you all the best and that spring and summer will come soon! I send you greetings from the north of Germany :) We also waited long, but Spring finally came and it's vibrant and so colorful outside finally! All the best Charleen P. S. I love how you discribe yourself as intense and that you show this side of yours to the world but also in this very soft, gentle but strong way. Makes me feel like Whoop-Whoop-Yeah! 😄🥰

Thanks for the lovely video, I could relate to so much of what you talk about. I live in Sweden at about the same latitude, so our winter was similar and I soaked up those warmer days as well. And even though it got colder again and even stayed white for a day this week, it feels as if that was the final goodbye of a long winter. I actually love the snowy season and don't get tired of it that easily but at some point I really long for spring and for the days when I can sit outside as long as I like and not get cold or wet. Your trip to the coast and to Gaustatoppen really inspired me. I feel similar about the sea and even though I am certainly a forest creature and love to hide away as well, the openness of the coast and wild dance of the sea really envigorates me. I am originally from Switzerland and even though I rarely think of the mountains, the images of the snowy tops touched something in me. Well, it`s a seven hour drive, but I might take a roadtrip there sometime. Are those highest mountains white in summer as well? Wishing you a wonderful spring! 🥀🌻 Karin
Great video Maria! The snow has finally disappeared in Maine and spring has arrived but today is cold and overcast. Really looking forward to warm sunny days!

Such a beautiful video Maria - you kept saying how all over the place it was but honestly as a viewer it didn't feel that way at all and flowed beautifully! Beautiful editing, shots, stories! I can totally relate thought because when I'm editing I also do the same thing... haha :) There are so many things that as a creator I am aware of or worried about with a video that truly, no one else notices. I feel the same way about being able to finally sit on the ground once Spring arrives - so many special moments this time of year. Sending love from my corner to the world to yours!

All that time spent editing was worth it ! You've produced another lovely video with beautiful imagery, especially of the mountain where you took your friend. Spring will take hold soon enough Maria, and before you know it summer will be here with long bright evenings when you can spend more time outside working on your furniture projects. Keep up your great work.

I love your cat! Next time you go away for weeks to teach I'll come and take care of him and house sit! 🙂 You may think your video was "all over the place" but as you also said, that is just life! It didn't seem disjointed... just like we were following along with what was going on with you. That trip up the mountain with your friend was amazing! So much of Norway that I have not seen. And thanks also for sharing some of the history - like that of Rjukan. It seems like your weather has been very much like mine where I am in Canada. We also have had warm and even hot days, followed by snow and cold. It seemed like spring would never come. I had big mounds of snow where it fell off my metal roof in front and in back of my cabin. The front only melted yesterday after two nights of rain, and there is still some in the back. So I know how you feel. I hope you have a fantastic spring. I look forward to your podcast and your next video!

@Maria og skogen It must be hard to edit, especially when you have footage taken over many days or weeks, and so many events. I always find them well done, and I have a fairly critical eye! Well the snow is finally melting, though it is has become cool again most days, and cold at night. But that's better than the bugs that will come as soon as it gets warm! 😣 Happy spring to you guys!🌱 (What is your cat's name?)
Danke für deinen ehrlichen Film! Ich fand es sehr ermutigend, denn mir geht es gerade genauso!
Beautiful video, beautiful you) thank you for inspiration, calmness and warm feelings inside after watching this video 🧡
Loving this video, the way you describe things resonates with my soul 🌱
Hi Maria, I just wanted to say hei :) This spring we've had a lot of rain and snow, even now and the cool weather will continue well into mid May. I live in the very south of Germany and it is so cold and snowy here. Next month I will be moving to Norway and your videos have helped me decide where to go. I want to live close to the ocean and hope it will work out. I've been to all mayor places in Norge and I liked all of them very much. Hade bra! Karin

An “all over the place” video is just fine, Maria! It held beauty in scenery AND in your presence as usual. I’ve heard it said that the only thing we can never have to much of is balance. I don’t know if that’s true or not. But it sure registers in some way when we don’t have enough, doesn’t it? Much love & blessings! Kathy

I’m glad that you’re feeling better and that spring has finally come. We’re having a cold, snowy and late start to spring too. I also got sick on my return home from a month of traveling in Norway. I think I would have recovered faster if we had spring. Unfortunately, the forecast is still for cool, wet weather. I know exactly what you mean about the dry ground, it’s so exciting when you can sit outside. The video was very good, you tied everything together well and your house is looking very cozy and lovely. ❤😊🏡
