How I Changed My Life - From City to Countryside

[@jonnajinton]

Such an amazing video!! Thank you for sharing so beautiful and honestly. And my heart smiles when I see the joy in your eyes being where you are. I so much look forward to follow you on this new journey

[@DanielErik]

Thank you so much, Jonna! ❤️🙏🏻 I'm thrilled to have you following along on my journey!! And again, I can't thank you enough! You've been such a tremendous inspiration! I wouldn't have dared to do this without your wonderful work! 💕

Thank you, Jonna, for your kindness towards Daniel and introducing us to this beautiful young man. ❤️ I look forward to following him throughout the winter months from the comfort of my cottage here in Ireland. Blessings ❤️

Another great video. Sweden is a spectacularly beautiful paradise.

Live your life in peace and completely attuned to the rhythm of the seasons. I envy you! You are a natural cinematographer. Thank you for sharing your philosophy and the stunning beauty of northern Sweden.

So beautiful Daniel , thank you ❤

[@devonseamoor]

Thank you, Daniel. For your sincerity 🍁 It's due to Jonna's recent video, that I've found your own channel. I think I understand how you and Jonna find support by sharing each other's style and approach to the work. In childlike joy, spontaneity It's inspiring to watch your joy, and gratitude. The work that needs to be done, and your skill of filming, being IN the moment. For me, a Dutchie, traveling for 3 months in Ireland awakes the feeling of being at home. Nature, and the cheerful responsive attitude of the Irish, is a refreshment for my soul. 🤩🐐 I wish you good luck 🍀with coming into your own.👋🧙‍♀️

That's a pleasure to find your channel thanks to Jonna Jinton! I'm almost 48 and also had decided to move from the city to eco-village. I've understood that we need to follow our soul.

[@alegria6771]

Incredible filming-skills! I just had a big change in my life also. And I am still adjusting to this suddenly so good feeling! Since I not allowed myself this change for too much years now. Waking up early in the morning and need a few moments to realize, that I don't have to feel this anxiety and pressure, because I don't have to go to this place anymore, but to another place, where I enjoy working and meet good, satisfied, grounded people everyday and don't have to face these mostly dark souls anymore. And now - I am feeling encouraged to follow my dreams and doing some steps if I feel so! 🤗🥰

[@NorthStarPNW]

This vlog is too beautiful for words. But I think I know why you're enjoying yourself so much: you're experiencing AWE and GRATITUDE, two things that make life meaningful. However long this phase of your lasts, it will stay with you forever.

So many people dare not get out of their comfort zone. But I’m here to tell you, it’s the best thing ever! I too was a city boy. Now living int the rural area. I treasure my quiet moments. But I also get out and put myself among people. I love the interaction. It seems as if you have found the simple life exciting, and I would agree. I’m just thinking….that water HAS to be cold….that ma be the only thing I would have reservations about…may have to be pushed in. 😅 Btw, your cinematography is beautiful!❤❤

[@DanielErik]

I'm so glad to have someone else here who has been going through a similar change! I love alone time, but I definitely think I'll end up putting myself out there among people! Probably even more than I've ever done in the city, to be honest. Because now it feels like I will actually have energy to be social! And that is so exciting! 😄 Oh, the water sure is cold - but that's also kinda the point! 😄 For an example, I don't drink coffee... So the cold water is a way for me to get a kick and wake up! ☺️ Aww, thank you so much! I'm so glad you like it! 🥰

Daniel, this is a great vlog. I want to say something carefully... If you ever fear people will think you're just lucky to live in Swedens north and that your vlog is too much like Jonnas don't listen, she's amazing and that careless judgement comes from jealousy. She has inspired you as with so many more of us, but you have things to say that she needs you to say. I totally wish I lived where you do, Semi rural Canada has it's beauty but we're mostly towns here and really ethereal places will be the question will I let this depress me because I don't live there or will I see the beauty of my town better because of a vlog like yours. Stay refreshed and do whatever it takes to do this, sometimes it's a nap or staying up all night, or exercise, and sometimes it's a walk for blueberries. I pray you're doing great, from a fan from Canada -Dave

Hi Dave! Your comment really meant a lot to me. Thank you for saying all of this. The last week has been so much fun, with people finding their way to my videos thanks to Jonna! But there has been a few not so nice comment that's gotten stuck with me too, of course. But I'll have to see past them, and focus on all the love I've received instead!

[@DanielErik]

Yes, I'll try to take it easy! 😅 Oh yes, the light changes quickly! It wasn't long ago it was never dark, but now it's coming back rapidly!

I can so relate to the life you're living. For seven summers I lived on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. I worked part time, but I lived alone, and spent most of my day catching my own bait and fishing all day, cleaning what I caught and then eating it as the sun went down, listening to a Symphony of crickets and frogs. It's been 15 years since the last summer I did it, and I still regard those summers as much of the best time of my life. I am still a loner, but because of where I live right now I spend much of my free time solo hiking. I do get to Cape Lookout once a year, though, and it's still amazing to hear nothing but the whisper of the wind in the trees.

[@DanielErik]

Oh, I absolutely LOVE the symphony of crickets! It's one of the sounds that feels like "summer" the most for me! I'm so glad you got to live that way! May I ask why you moved? 🥰

What a beautiful part of the world. You are doing such a great job. If I might offer one piece of advice that would be you can't have to much firewood. You will go through more than you ever thought. In a worst case scenario if you have to much then you have a good start for the following year but if you don't have enough then you could find yourself in a bit of trouble. So don't be afraid to stock up! That pie looked so good by the way.

[@DanielErik]

I know! I low key worry about this! I don't think I have enough! Sure, I have radiators too, but still! When it's very cold out side, I might need the help of a fire! I mean, it can go down to well under -30°C!

Hi Micha, and thank you for such a nice comment! What a compliment! I don't even know what to say, to be honest! ❤️ Yes, I try to always look at things from a positive perspective! Of course sometimes even I get frustrated or things like that - but to hold on to those feeling only make me feel worse, often without any kind of resolution with what made me feel that way from the beginning. So I try to let things go rather quickly. As often as I can, at least! 🥰 Oh, you have two dogs? How wonderful!! I wish I had one myself! I dream of getting one eventually! And you have a van too!

@@DanielErik Hi Daniel, thanks for replying to my comment. It's a long story, but in short, I used to work in a corporate office in the city and hated it. We bought a small farm in the country and started hobby farming, learning about caring for chickens, pigs, sheep and cattle, pasture and hay making etc. Eventually sold up in the city and moved permanently to the country. Started making products from the farm to sell, started milking sheep for our own dairy, raising calves and that led to small dairy farming which in turn led to commercial dairy farming 350 cows on 800 acres and we went to organic farming practices. Despite many difficulties along the way and a lot of learning, we were able to retire very early and have moved further into the country to just enjoy life. And by the way, your wood stacking was perfect!

@@chriscansdale6389 wow, that’s such a journey!! I’m glad you were able to quit your job and follow what felt right! Oh, it was? Glad to hear it! Thanks! 😄

[@18mazer]

You’re an inspiration, and I love your videos 😊

[@DanielErik]

😭❤️ That means so much, to hear that I inspire! That's the reason I started this channel! I want to inspire people in all different ways; to love nature, to do what they dream of and to take care of one another! Thank you for making my day! 🥰

[@lelandpeck4585]

Thanks, Daniel. What a beautiful, uplifting new video. So glad you are at ease with your move. Have you met any of your neighbors yet. I always look forward to your new videos.

[@DanielErik]

Hearing that you look forward to my videos feels like such a blessing! 🥰 Yes, I'm very at ease with it, at least for now! But as I mention in the video, I'm sure there will be moments where I feel like "oh, what have I done?!". 😂 Up until this point, I've mainly hanged out with the friend I already had here, the one who helped me with firewood, but I will definitely try to get to know more people! 🥰 Take care, Leland!

[@brifor5872]

I want to come visit. Would love to Sweden through your eyes… ❤️

[@DanielErik]

You should definitely visit Sweden! 🥰

[@steves9905]

Been there done this. Although different circumstances as I was up in the mountains but still provided the same solitude. I did have a truck to escape in if necessary. Winter is a challenge...you will chop more wood than you thought possible, and eating the same stuff over and over again might get monotonous. But if you are ok with living by yourself it can be transforming. Even though the mountains adventure is over, and I've had a couple more adventures since then, I feel like I can do anything now and am pretty self reliant and confident. Beautiful country where you are at...lucky. I'd rather do without than take a bath in cold lake water tho, lol

[@DanielErik]

Yes, I am concerned about the amount of wood I have, or rather... the lack there of! Fortunately I have electric radiators as well, so I won't die... Might just get a little bit more expensive, I guess! Oh, you wouldn't want to take one of these cold dips? But they're amazing! 😄

[@LibbyWithnall]

I was too impatient to watch this video that I didn't put on my (long) to watch list but am watching it right away 🙂. Must be amazing to wake up each day in such an incredible beautiful and peaceful place. While you are lucky, you have also been brave enough to take on this journey. I would image there a lot of projects to do in the Summer to get ready for the Winter. I'm glad things are going well for you and that you are happy in your decision.

[@DanielErik]

Aww, that's such a compliment! I can't believe there's actually someone out there who's impatient to watch something I've created! That's such a blessing, having a chance to share all of this with you and others! 🥰 And thank you for that reminder! I am lucky - but yes, I should also be proud of myself for facing my fears and actually doing this! So much to prepare for winter though, as you said! I have to figure out how to handle all the snow! I don't know if a shovel will be enough, might have to get some other tool! 😅 From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for watching and being such a supporter and cheerleader through this journey of mine! I'm so grateful I get to share it with you, Libby! ❤️

[@FreewillUSA]

Daniel, I'm so glad you're enjoying the start of life at the far north country house. The scenes of nature and your simple, purposeful life are so relaxing.

And I'm so glad and thankful for having you following along on my journey! thank you! 🙏🏻💕

[@peterkesseler9898]

Hallo Daniel. I found your channel a few weeks ago and watched some of your vlogs. What a wonderful landscape where you are living right now! It was always my wish to visit Sweden. As a child I enjoyed watching "Michel von Lönneberga" as we say here in Germany 🙂. And the landscape in these episodes touched me every time watching them. And by the way, I look a bit like you, only some years older *hahaha*. So I wish you all the best. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland.

[@DanielErik]

Hi Peter, and welcome to my channel! I'm so glad you've found my videos, that I get to share my journey with you! How fun that you've always have wanted to visit Sweden! I hope my videos can make it feel like you're here, even if it's just for a moment! 🥰 Wow, is that what the German name is for "Emil I Lönneberga"? I had no idea! It's not even the same name of the main character! How fun! Now I kinda feel like I should re-watch the show! ☺️ Oh, are you my doppelganger? 😄

[@peterkesseler9898]

Maybe I am your (older) Doppelgänger. Ja! Michel (Emil) von Lönneberga living in Smaland and Pippi Langstrumpf were the main children´s shows I grew up with. And especially at christmas it is shown on tv here in germany. Love it stille as a grown up man 🙂@@DanielErik

Hi Marc, and welcome! I'm excited to get to share more with you! 😍

[@mrchips96]

You are the most refreshing personality I have ever experienced on KZbin! You are so charming, sweet, humble and real. Your commentary is so inspiring and your cinematography is stunning! I will be watching all of your past videos as well as keeping up with future ones. I look forward to seeing how you get along during all of the seasons there. Please know that your efforts are very worthwhile and inspiring for your viewers! Love you!

[@DanielErik]

Omg! Wow, what a sweet comment! I don't know what to say!! Thank you so much! This is the exact reason I make these videos - I hope to bring inspiration, peace and something genuine into other people everyday life. So hearing you say these sweet compliments means so, so much to me! ❤️🙏🏻 I hope you'll like my older videos too! Just a little heads up though - I was a complete beginner at first, had almost never even hold a real camera in my hands when I started out (my first videos are even just with an iPhone). So the older videos may not be as good! 😅🙈 Hoping you're having a wonderful summer, sending lots of love! 🥰

Thanks for this❤ i will buy a van next week and felt so much fears about that😅 Such beautiful filming in this video... i could feel your soul🙌🧚‍♀️🌲

[@DanielErik]

Wow! What and adventure that lies ahead of you!! I believe you'll love it!! I had a van myself, and loved it! Unfortunately I have now sold it, since it was a cost I couldn't bear while living this kind of life (no job). All my best wishes to you, and I'm so glad if I could help even a little with your fears! 🥰 Where do you live, if I may ask? Finland? ☺️

[@soulofjo]

@@DanielErik yes, i live in Finland😊 the van would be ready for the adventures of next summer😍 if after that summer i feel that it wasnt for me or smtg, i can always sell it. Then i know🙌 your video and words were like made for my situation. It is strange how fear and 'common sense' comes into picture when some dream is about to come true. Have a lovely august!! And im sure your autumn will be so beautiful too over there😍🌲🧚‍♀️☀️👌

[@DanielErik]

@@soulofjo yes! You can always sell it! We won’t regret the things we did, only the things we wish we had done! Wow, that’s so great to hear, to my video “talked” to you in that way! That makes me so glad! ☺️ Oh yes, as soon as something huge and positive is about to happen, it’s like our inner demons try to convince us it’s a terrible idea and we shouldn’t go through with it! But if we overcome that, the result can be wonderful!! 🥰 Have a wonderful summer you too! And autumn there must also be vibrant and beautiful! 😍

@@DanielErik , you’re welcome. Yes, it will take a moment to adjust. But as you stated you’ll settle right in. I moved out of the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles to a smaller coastal area not too far away. The people and the atmosphere are much more relaxed. I love being right next to the ocean. Long walks and also bike rides. Working in my garden also soothes the soul. LOL
