[@roxannemarieguerin5747]

the more I watch you the more I want to learn about your culture and move to Denmark or Scandinavia. Also, the dances looked so beautiful, the scenery was so mesmerizing and I really love watching your relationships with the people, you care for/love. The shots that were taken as well were so beautiful

[@sisselab]

aww that makes me so happy 🥹💚

[@victorias6250]

Being a Scandinavian myself, making friends can be really difficult for many. I think Denmark was ranked number 1 as hardest country to make friends in a while back if I remember correctly. The other Scandinavian countries aren’t far behind. We are generally very polite though, just a bit timid. Some cultures might see this timidity as rude but that’s not how our culture sees it, just a difference. In order to make friends here as an outsider you will have to be prepared to take the first step and be the one initiating. Most likely they’ll respond well. Just don’t be too forward in an annoying way. Like it shouldn’t feel forced. Once they are comfortable with you, they will be much warmer. This advice is applicable for all Scandinavian countries. Good luck :)

[@minan8101]

as a swedish citizen i totally agree with jake. danish people are so much more kind and warm and very social, unlike here in sweden

[@sisselab]

Honestly, it’s a scandi thing 😏💚

[@arsemaissak7236]

norway on top tbh

[@lilichan6027]

🌼This looks like it’s was straight out of a movie, and I love it, everything was so calming and peaceful it made fall in love with this place and your positive energy, I felt so at peace and also in a way homesick wanting to leave in a peaceful town with my family for the rest of my life. Please keep posting this kind of content I finally feel like I fond a peaceful place that I can come to and hide from all the negativity of this world!!🤍 Wish you the best for you and for the people who you love!🌺

[@sisselab]

That’s so heart warming, thank you for these beautiful words 💚

[@angelinamancino4750]

ahhhh omg we've missed you, sissel! i'm so glad you've been able to travel again & am so appreciative that you choose to share such moments with us 💚

[@sisselab]

Thank you so much love, this means a lot to me 💚

[@nannem6737]

I‘m from Germany and when I was younger my family spent every summer in Denmark especially Fanø. Your video brought me so much comfort and reminded me of easier and better times. Thank you so much for this lovely vlog. I really needed that ✨❤️

[@sisselab]

💚

[@saidas505]

Coming from a Finn, if Swedish people look cold then I wonder how we look 😂 Both you Danish and Swedish people are so much more warmer than we are. Really enjoyed the vlog, wish I could visit Denmark soon!

[@sisselab]

Hahahahah I think Jake was maybe just harvesting some cheap points with me 🤣💚

[@rigelr5345]

Lmao, died reading this comment xD

[@khalilahd.]

Wow l love seeing your travel vlogs! I’m so happy you’re able to create such incredible memories with the people you love most 💛

[@sisselab]

Thank you so much love 💚

[@Handambi]

15:18 the moment you filmed with your sister was so beautiful and magical, captured so bittersweetly the feeling of balancing the madness of trying to bare the responsibilities of being an adult and trying to balance by taking those precious moments to dip into our childhood shoes with the ones we love ,

[@eleb]

Welcome back Sissel 💚 Last year I was so fascinated by your Denmark vlogs that I wished to visit your country soon… and so I did this summer! I enjoyed Copenaghen so much, I believe it’s a wonderful city to live in, and Danish people seem to be so friendly (and very classy tbh). Can’t wait to come back 🌾

[@sisselab]

Oh my god I’m so honored to have inspired that trip, I’m glad you had a fantastic time 💚

[@shasisstuff]

thank you for inviting us into a glimpse of your childhood 🥺 definitely missed you a lot but i’m glad you got to enjoy being home ❤️

Such a beautiful video Sissel

[@sisselab]

Thank you so much Lorena 🥹💚

[@katharinag.5990]

This vlog is so wholesome and emotional 🥹 I had tears in my eyes the entire time ♥️ lots of love to you Sissel and thank you for sharing ☺️

[@sisselab]

Awwwwww🥹💚

[@taliasmith3347]

Thank you for show us Danish’s culture! ❤️

[@meschawman2897]

Every year, my family and I have holiday in Denmark, in sondervig or hvide sande, I never met a cold or unfriendly Danish human, love the people there, the nature, the whole vibe 😍😍😍😍 Also my daughter's name is Ellen too, such a wonderful name!

Your little sister is the cutest and the moments between you two sisters were so wholesome🥺😍😍

[@hyaacinthus]

I love watching you be surrounded by so much love, you truly deserve everything good that happens to you. You look so beautiful and radiant, and these vlogs reflect that! 💖

[@sisselab]

That’s so sweet of you, you make my heart beam. Thank you 💚

[@anthipaganou3727]

I've been slowly falling in love with Denmark and this vlog definitely added to my fascination of this beautiful country. Can't wait for the next vlogs! If you don't mind me asking, how easy do you think it would be for someone who doesn't speak the language to move there? (eg for studies)

[@sisselab]

Hi love! It’s extremely easy for someone who doesn’t speak Danish, everyone knows English very well and are more than happy to speak it 💚💚

[@laerkekebaab]

It would be super easy moving here, although as many other places, I know from my expad friends that it is extremely hard to make danish friends. Expads tend to hang out with expads. I think it’s mostly because danes value long term relationships and are quite closed around their little circles. Also Denmark is nice like 30 days a year. The rest of the time it’s cold, grey and rainy. Winter is especially tough, most years winter temperatures last like 5-6 months.

[@anthipaganou3727]

@@laerkekebaab thanks for the advice!☺️

[@sharonpanda.3549]

Omg why so calming and wholesome...Sissel you knew exactly what my soul needed😫😫😫

[@eleopolps]

Omg thank you for bringing us to Denmark this year too 💚 your little sister's vlog parts ARE SO CUTE OMG she's really pretty, just like you!

[@sisselab]

hahaha she’s so precious, a true influencer in the making 🤣💚

[@imstargazing9120]

what an incredible beautiful video you´ve created sissel! I visited Denmark in spring and absolutely fell in love, so your Denmark videos are always such a blessing to watch :)

[@foxy5833]

I just got back from Denmark, it was lovely! I visited Copenhagen as well as other places in Denmark (and Malmö, Sweden). Now I'm back in the Netherlands. I actually arrived in Denmark right before you went to Paris with Jake, hahaha. That's just how it is!

[@anjalieasencio7262]

It’s so nice seeing u guys enjoy spending time together :)

[@rigelr5345]

This might be the best video of yours I've watched to date, so nice seeing Fanø and all the lovely the people there, what a beautiful family and relationship you seem to have. No wonder why Danish people seem warm to Jake :) I felt a bit emotional around 16:00 not gonna lie. Just returned from a four-day trip to Copenhagen with my mom as well. The small moments with the ones we love are those that will visit you when look back, or when times get dark. Keep your loved ones close.

[@poppycalliope]

The scenery 😍 I'm sure you had the most beautiful time with your loved ones Sissel ,these are memories you will forever keep and smile ✨️🌿💕

[@sisselab]

I did, thank you love 💚

[@adikedar806]

So great to have u back! Actually, this was the most wholesome and anxiety fixer video therapy for me today…I live in Israel and there is a military operation at the moment with rocket attacks on most of the country…sirens and all. Being from here I guess I’m as used to it as anyone can get but I’m always looking for a way to ease the stress especially in times like these. So I just wanted to say thank you, thanks for giving me a little “mind getaway” as I like to call it. You have made such a positive impact on my day today, lots of love 💚💚💚

[@heyitsrosie]

I was so excited to watch this video!!! I love Denmark, so pretty and calm! I'm not really a nature person but all the green and nature spaces made me wanna get a bike and see around. A week ago i got c*v*d and unfortunately I wasn't one of the one lucky ones to say "it was like a cold" and I'm still recovering and your videos positive energy always feels nice!

[@sisselab]

Aww I’m wishing for a quick recovery for you 💚

[@christie8822]

I think you handle that well when jake was talking about how down he felt about being jobless❤

[@notjoydems]

Loved this video! Was feeling a little bit down today and it's eased some anxiety. Thank u for always sharing beautiful moments x

[@sisselab]

Hope you’re feeling better 💚

[@fredzzle]

This vlog is so relaxing. Like a vintage fresh short movie or anime lol✨💞

Me too honestly 🥹💚

[@end3start]

Sissel your videos never fail to comfort me and bring little joys to my day. todays video fills me with so much nostalgia and happy memories from being a child in norway, especially in the summer. thank you for this diary of your life, hilser fra en skandinavisk abonnent❤️❤️

[@sisselab]

That’s so beautiful, thank you for writing this comment. I’m smiling so big 💚

[@arkscrew]

Wow I love the place you are at... Such a small homely community and the town seems like a nice quiet place with just the perfect amount of busy vibes. I absolutely love the place coz I have always like the small town vibes. It is so relaxing to even watch it through ur videos.

[@Plu255]

10:21 Sissel, as a Norwegian, I agree with Jake, Danes seem more warm and inviting than Swedes 👍👍

[@SilviaSchirinziSS]

What a lovely vlog Sissel! The traditional costumes are amazing and so is the island 💚

[@ilarcornerofspace]

The moment with your sis gave me chills... so darn cinematic!!!

[@lhaindirt5585]

I'm swedish and at first I was stunned that Jake saw swedes as colder than danes... but now when I think about it I think he might be right! hahaha

[@sisselab]

Hahahahah I think all scandies are bright beautiful people 💚

[@calistaisaacs6547]

AH! I'm so excited! Seeing your video brought me so much happiness!!

[@sisselab]

That just brought ME so much happiness to read 🥹💚

[@irulp]

It's so nice seeing you with your family!!! Hope you had an amazing time!

[@LA-cm9uo]

Thanks Sissel, because of this video I had a dream to travel to Denmark for my 4 year anniversary with boyfriend. 🙏 I showed him the video and he was so excited. We went for almost two weeks. Although we didn't make it to your island, we rented a car and crossed all over Zealand and Funen. I loved the country and this video will forever remain important in our hearts.

[@sisselab]

That’s so beautiful oh wow 🥹 so glad you had a wonderful time 💚

[@baconcita]

Your boyfriend is totally right about Swedish people and danish people, i have been living in Sweden 13 years and Danish are much more nice , kind and social than swedish!

[@Idkidkidkidk954]

As a Swede I think you are right 🥲😂

[@baconcita]

@@Idkidkidkidk954 people often here mind their own business.. the problem is people always complaining about feeling lonely and depressed, it should be easier if they tried to communicate more, Don't you think?

[@s_singh6177]

Finally after so many days new video 🤗... Missed you sissel 🥺

Ahhh I've been looking forward to this vlog so much and here it is! 🙌 The way you managed to beautifully capture the essence of Denmark makes me want to re-visit it soon! Thank you for taking us along on your relaxing trip. It looks like you and Jake enjoyed the peaceful environment so much ✨ PS: I've finally managed to order your Vegan Selfcare Routine box by Bazaal Box, yay!! (And re-order the magnificent Lavender Dreamoil Cleanser) all at once. I couldn't before because I had to save up for my wedding 😅 Now that I'm 'just married' I can spoil myself a little again. Can't wait for it to arrive and try it all out ☺️ 💚

[@sisselab]

Awwwwww 🥹💚

[@yueliangmei12]

I feel jake, I also quit my Job coz it’s just getting too much for my mental health. I mean life is short to stay in some place that isn’t good for you anymore, so leave if you can, I understand that not anyone can just quit but do it if it’s possible, if you can’t now just look for the right timing, it will come. I have no idea what I’m gonna do right now but well, I’ll figure that out soon too hahaha btw I love watching your vlog, you can be doing just the most normal stuff but you captured it well, it’s not boring, I don’t know if I make sense hahhha and your sister is so cute!

[@sisselab]
