Congratulations on your wedding! 🎉❤🎉🍾🥂

[@chloeandludvig]

Thank you so much 😀

[@JustinWatson23]

Love the bear, bare, beer joke :-) I really want to do this one day. I've been to Helsinki and loved it, but need to see more of Scandinavia.

[@chloeandludvig]

Hahaha it always frustrates Ludvig coz he never knows which one I’m talking about! You should definitely pop it on your list!😁😁

[@JustinWatson23]

@@chloeandludvig if in doubt assume beer :-)

[@gozamite]

The phone booth in the train is needed mainly because the connection is usually very bad when the train is moving! Inside that small room your connection is much better. And yes ofcourse it's also about privacy.

[@chloeandludvig]

Ahhh very interesting!🧐

[@dstoner96]

Chloe and Ludvig, you 2 are absolutely amazing, I LOVE following your Journeys......

[@chloeandludvig]

Why thank you!!! I don't know about amazing, but cheers for watching and always being one of the first to comment!! ;)

[@coreyjeffries]

I Love The Bear Bare Beer Joke & I Truly Enjoyed Watching The Video & I Hope Yours & Ludvigs Journey Continues To Get Incredibly Amazing For The Both You Chloe ❤🥰

[@chloeandludvig]

Hahaha, it never gets old. The Kiwi accent cracks me up. Thanks for watching!

[@The-Day-Off]

Dude that price for the cabin and breakfast is amazing. Way better than Amtrak cabin prices. I’m thinking of doing a 65 hour Chicago to LA Amtrak in coach 😂😂😂 cuz of the room prices

[@chloeandludvig]

It was really decently priced! For such a modern train too. That sounds like so much fun!!! What an experience that would be haha

[@rustyspace900]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="474">7:54</a> ''Timber Chicken Trolls'' Gotta love your accent! :)

[@chloeandludvig]

🤣I had to replay that bit a few times to hear it!!! I understand now

[@mustwereallydothis]

If you were to have told me that you were traveling through my little corner of northern Canada, I would have believed you without hesitation.

[@chloeandludvig]

Really? I bet it’s beautiful up there!!

[@mustwereallydothis]

@@chloeandludvig I certainly is! Especially in the area where I live. We are tucked into a lovely river valley and the views all around are amazing. It does get a tad dreary during parts of the spring and fall but the summers of almost constant daylight and the winters with trees coated in magical looking frost (hoarfrost we call it) often take my breath away. Of course I could do without those -30° to -55° cold snaps we get for a few weeks every winter but we can't have everything.

[@KalleKilponen]

In case you were wondering, the announcement in the morning was for people traveling with cars. (Reminder to get up early and instructions on how to get their vehicle.)

[@chloeandludvig]

Ahhhhh, very interesting.. we never knew what that announcement was all about haha

[@Nickel1911]

Congratulations on your wedding! Take great care of each other

[@chloeandludvig]

Thank you so much ☺️

From one railfan to another, i totally understand your excitement ♡ that was a lovely journey and a beautiful train. Thank yoh for taking us with you!

[@chloeandludvig]

Yay another rail fan! ...Ludvig will get there one day.... maybe. Haha. Thank for watching! So glad you enjoyed it as much as I did!!

[@robinhealey7542]

Loved this video! You both do an amazing job of explaining everything while keeping it lighthearted and humorous!😊

[@chloeandludvig]

Yay thanks Robin! Thats' awesome to hear :D

[@BrianBorges-ez3ls]

Hey guys! Ludwig's bunk gymnastics are hilarious, but at least the shower has more headroom than the bunk!😂 I love train vlogs and it was while searching for them that your channel popped up in my feed. I am sooo glad that it did; you guys are great! May your many travels be accompanied by much wedded bliss!❤💕 (And enough room for Frost-Giant Ludwig.)

[@chloeandludvig]

Yay so happy our channel found its way to you! I’m glad Ludvig has been entertainment for you haha - Thanks for joining us for the journey!

[@herhere4714]

Always love your positivity

[@chloeandludvig]

Thank you! Me too ;) The only way to be!

[@nicolelazotravel]

Wow! That looks awesome! I haven’t been on a sleeper train yet.

[@chloeandludvig]

It was so awesome! This one’s a good one to try 😍🥰

yall are so much fun. thank you

[@chloeandludvig]

No, thank you!!

[@louise7552]

Hi new subscriber from Australia 🇦🇺 here. Congratulations 🎊 on your nuptials. Just discovered your channel, enjoying adventuring along with you guys from my lounge room in Forster. NSW. ❤❤ NAMASTE. Ps, your eyes are stunning.

[@chloeandludvig]

Woohoo welcome to the channel Louise!!! Awesome to have you here! Thank you so much!!😊

[@patrick8035]

Very cool! I was wondering when you took the trip so glad you shared that and were lucky enough to still have snow then! Not meaning to be a downer, but with Finland being so close to Russia, was there any sense of unease or alertness to do with that? I’d love to do that train trip one day, and I think around the same time so it’s not dark the entire time

[@chloeandludvig]

Yes we were very lucky to have lots of snow! A staff member at Santa’s village says the best time to visit Lapland is March. Still get winter weather, everything’s open, yet a lot less crowded. We were very aware in the back of our minds, but I guess since we were only there for less than a week❤️

[@patrick8035]

@@chloeandludvig thank you! Well sounds like you’ve had a good time judging by the video of the huskies 👍 look forward to the next installment!

[@jacquihughes6172]

Great views and great video

[@chloeandludvig]

Thanks for watching 😁

[@juanitacarrollyoung2979]

Where did you find that adorable, goofy sloth that you had with you in your train cabin? Did we really just witness part of your honeymoon? Of course any human who speaks has an accent. It's hilarious that US ppl claim that we have none! Your honey speaks with an American accent, with a hint of something European in there - like someone who moved to the USA as a young teen. If he only started speaking English regularly as an adult, kudos to him. He's very fluent! Don't let anyone tell you that you're pronouncing any word wrong in your lovely Kiwi dialect 🇳🇿❤

[@chloeandludvig]

Haha thanks for your comment! Ludvig is actually from Sweden would you believe it! He grew up learning English on movies and songs so I’m guessing that’s where the American sounding accent comes from 😁

[@jorluo]

Yep, according to the Constitution of Finland, Swedish is Finland's second official language. So studying Swedish is compulsory for all Finns whose native language is Finnish. They must study Swedish in primary schools, upper secondary schools, vocational schools and universities. Finland's government officials are required to speak Swedish. All official papers, etc. are in Finnish and in Swedish. The street names, place names and signs in many cities are both in Finnish and in Swedish. Almost half of Finland's municipalities and towns have both Finnish and Swedish names, or only Swedish names, etc. Swedish can be seen everywhere.

[@chloeandludvig]

So very interesting! Thank you for the info :)

[@moonliteX]

Timber chicken trolls 🤣🤣🤣👌

[@moonliteX]

U must be kiwis?

[@Rick-ov5jm]

Love the bathroom espicially moving the wall to b a shower that is soooo bad (means good American slang)

[@chloeandludvig]

It’s really cool right? Such a great idea! And I’ve never heard that slang haha

[@Rick-ov5jm]

@@chloeandludvig yes it is .

[@SK-nw4ig]

Swedish is mandatory in all levels of Finnish education - however only few people really speaks Swedish, since outside of coastal areas we dont need it and rarely hear it :) So we just forget. And most Finns are not really that motivated to learn it because of that.

[@chloeandludvig]

Ahh wow - thanks for sharing - super interesting 🤔

[@T3CHGY007]

HO HO HOld on!! Did you say Santa Claus??

[@chloeandludvig]

Hehe, we did! Thanks for joining us!

[@sumosprojects]

G’day & Kiora, not wanting to pry but how do you afford all of your travels ? I love travelling but it takes me & my wife a year to save for a P&O cruise 🤠

[@chloeandludvig]

Very fair question! Well, we both work regular jobs at the moment and over the past few years we’ve spent the majority of our money of travel. Along with this we’ve started to earn an income on KZbin which by no means covers the travel, but it definitely helps! We’ve also just started to work with sponsors, which again doesn’t begin to cover our expeditions but all of the little bits help!

[@sumosprojects]

@@chloeandludvig Thank you for your honest answer & that’s great that KZbin are backing you in. I made a little bit of money from it but I did get business endorsements for doing projects for a few companies so stick with it 👍🍻
