Hi Cecilia, I have been going through a really hard time in my life and your videos have kept me company on the worst days. My husband is losing his battle to cancer (though we still always will have hope) and we just got married, I’m only 25. If the worst happens I think I might try to visit/live in Scandinavia for a while and I’d love to visit Svalbard, the culture there seems so beautiful and peaceful. Thank you for bringing me some peace and I only wish the best for you, Christopher, Grim, and your family ❤

You mom looks incredible….66years young 💛

The birds are using up all their words for the day😂. Love the forest, water & family!

I could just imagine you walking in swinging a mouse by the tail & your poor mother trying to relax & feed your sister! I used to lock my daughter in her room whilst I tried to feed her brother as she always got into mischief. It was jealousy on her part; when my youngest son arrived, I bottle fed him so that he ended up more often than not with the pillow propped next to him with the bottle so that I could keep an eye on big sister. I love Sweden, it looks so beautiful & to be able to walk in the forest would be wonderful. It was strange to see you without your gun on you back, & the birdsong was so delightful. Something I love here in Australia is the bird life & noise of our native birds as they flit about enjoying life. I hope that you remembered everything Christopher wanted from the shops & that you bought him a special treat!! Also Grimm one as well!! It feels so strange to me getting your video though at 11 pm Sunday night as it usually comes in during the early hours of Monday so I sit & enjoy it when I have brunch around midday. So it is going to throw my Monday out of whack!! I might have to watch it again... ha, ha, ha!!

Lovely to hear more from your Mum and see where you grew up 😊 The sound of the birds reminds me of our rainforests here in Australia. Would love to hear from your Dad, especially about the career that gave you all such opportunities in life.

I’m telling you, you Swedes have the right idea on kitchen design! I love the no upper cabinets.

I live in France, moving from Colorado in 2017. My mother and my adult son live in Florida and my sister lives in Georgia. My mom comes to visit every fall and stays with us for 5-6 weeks. I love it! My mom laughs that she sees more of me since I moved to France! Our son comes when he can. He will see us next in the fall when he sings in Paris in the fall of 2025. I have not been back to states since June 2019 for our son’s 25th birthday.

Where you grew up is beautiful. Your mum seems such a an interesting person. I enjoyed this week’s episode very much, thank you ❤

That part of Sweden looks so much like Ontario, Canada. My Swedish aunt has always said that but I totally can see it in this video! The forest especially and the rock shoreline 🇸🇪 🇨🇦

OMG YES TO YOUR DAD BEING ON VIDEO!!! Your family is so lovely. Congratulations to your sister's new baby! Your forest reminds me of our Seattle forests (here in the Pacific Northwest). Lush & green, mossy & full of life. Enjoy the rest of your time & take that cheese home! Marianna 🙂💜💜

As an ex-pat who has lived abroad I ❤❤❤ this episode and could relate to everything you shared. One of my fav episodes ever! You just have a beautiful way of sharing your story and life. 😊

Your Mom is young looking and in good shape. I enjoy watching and learning about the area where you grew up. It is good to have a successful father to be able to offer you a life experience while you and your sisters were growing up. Having a free spirit keep you young and active. I recognize this in your parents. Thank you for sharing. South Louisiana, James.

I loved seeing this beautiful scenery of where you grew up. I remained living closer to my parents and was glad I did at the end of their lives. My mom got brain cancer very unexpectedly at 72 and the last year of her life I spent a great deal of time with her. My dad lived much to much older, but the last year of his life I was grateful to be there for him in and out of the hospital stays and able to go to him when he needed me. My brother lives much further away and didn't really see them much at all at the end. There is value in all experiences, but it made more sense to me to stay closer to them. It's so pretty in your area of Sweden. I would love to visit there. We live in the Bay Area in California and we are fortunate to have many beautiful forests and hiking trails here too. Thank you for your efforts in making such a lovely video.

There is much to say: 1. Scandinavia has a quality of life that can't be matched. Some of it comes from their love and connection to nature; 2. Scandinavians are the happiest in the world. Folks should investigate why. This video suggests several prominent reasons for this; 3. Scandinavians have a curiosity that is boundless. The Norwegians have the highest literacy rate in the world. That is, they read the largest amount of material, so they are very cosmopolitan. I taught high school in America, and one of my foreign exchange students from Norway lived on an island near Svalbard. He knew more about the US and the world than his American counterparts in class; 4. When I visited Scandinavia including Gothenburg, I never saw homeless and slums. The quality of life is the highest in the world. Folks should ask why.

@@randomness051 True. We don't know her motives for moving to America. Maybe romance. There was very little immigration to America from European countries since the 1950's. The Marshall Plan revitalized Europe. Here is an ironic counterexample: I taught two sisters and a brother whose parents were from Sweden. They moved to America in the 1950's. They left behind a son(brother) who became a cardiologist in Sweden. He was fed up making only $150,000 per year, whereas in The US he was offered $400,000 from some hospitals. He was sorely tempted to leave, but decided to stay in Sweden. I met a fourth grade teacher in Norway who was only paid $40,000 for teaching, but his education and health care plus other benefits were provided for him. He stayed. Check into the sovereign wealth fund in Norway.
