Back in 1970 i met a Swedish girl who was on holiday in London.We had two wonderful weeks in swinging London..She went back to Sweden and we wrote to each other and she decided to come to London and live together.After a few months i said we are going overland to India driving in a VW are you up for it yes was the answer.The trip took 6 months and i ending back in Stockholm completely broke.I started working in a bakery starting at 5 in the morning.Once we saved enough money to fly back to the UK.52 years later we are still together 2 sons and 6 grandchildren.We live in a small village in Kent.I grow my own vegetables and drive a 1991 240 Volvo Estate with 263.000 miles.Still a bit of a hippy at my mature age.

What a heart warming story. My wife and I met on a blind date set up by my parents and her aunt and uncle when she was in Florida for a vacation. We spent nearly every day together while she was there and I knew immediately she was the one for me (it took her a bit longer. 😊) We were married forty-three wonderful years when she lost her battle with cancer. You two are both beautiful people and a beautiful couple! ❤️❤️ Forgot to answer the questions. Crazy? Yep Stupid? Maybe Romantic? ABSOLUTELY!

They never talk over each other but help each other embellish their stories like a singing duet.

[@jamesadams2334]

Don't make dreams, make memories! I was a Paramedic and an adventurer earlier in my life and I always had dreams of meeting a beautiful girl and living in the wilderness together but I never found the right girl that also wanted that. Now I am 69 years old and I'll probably never find her. I've had a good life, few regrets and very satisfied but still alone. I am so happy for you two.

[@yonikki]

I met my boyfriend over 10 years ago on a random bike ride. I was riding to the beach around 9pm and he was riding with a group of friends the opposite direction. One of his friends complimented my bike, which started up a quick conversation with an invite back to his house for a game of Foosball. He happened to live in my neighborhood so I agreed to a game since meeting new friends seemed way more fun than solo ride to the beach. Probably a crazy idea at the time but they all seemed really kind. Anyway, he and I ended up spending every day together after that initial meeting and now have 2 beautiful children together. Life is great ... good thing I took that chance meeting a stranger that is now my partner for life. 😊

[@jg6579]

This got me a little misty. You're so lucky to have found each other. Please never take what you have for granted. Eight years ago I had this fear of being alone and just longed to have someone special, but out of stupidity, I settled. I spent the next seven years being mentally and physically abused, and only escaped after he almost killed me when he burned my apt down. Now I am free but still hoping one day that special someone will enter my life. Good luck to you both.

[@SunnyKindJourney]

I could understand so well what Christine meant when she said that she needed to contact you and come to you as that was exactly how I felt meeting my partner abroad. These kind of things really make me believe that certain things are just meant to be 🌱 Much love from next door, Finland! 🥰

[@maxadrums]

I love this. Absolutely beautiful. It's amazing how internet allows us to connect to likeminded people around the world - we're no longer limited by the close physical environment. Sure, in ways one could say we're less social and interactive nowadays.. But also the complete opposite. Social media can be such a cool place.

[@KalleFlodin]

If it weren't for the internet, there are many of my friends I would never have met ❤

[@LeutnantJoker]

@@KalleFlodin You don't know how lucky you are. I've never found someone in my entire life, internet or not, in whatever country I've been in, that shared my idea of a happy life. I'm 42 now and I've given up on the idea of ever finding someone.

[@ATWAkorris]

You're so right! We tend to forget that all this social media craziness can actually be for sometning good :) at least I can forget sometimes. Still, there are real people behind the content they create, what an amazing concept that the whole world can be connected that way. Thanks for the reminder, Max and Kalle.

[@wulfsorenson8859]

@@LeutnantJoker don’t worry. It’s only a matter of time before the novelty wears off, she gets bored and moves back to the city and they’re both single again 😹. No relationship lasts anymore we all end up single in the end.

@wulfsorenson8856 Why so miserable! The energy you put into life is the energy you get back. Christine & Kalle are lovely together. I have every faith their relationship will survive. They want the challenge of this lifestyle. Good luck to them and may God bless you with some hope & happiness of your own.

Thank you soooo much for sharing your personal story with us. I loved all the ladies on the train looking out the window 😆🥰 and Kalle's 33/42 questions! Very mature. Yes, Christine is right - we all have to take action towards making our dreams come true. 33 years ago on New Year's Day, I tore up my return plane ticket home and decided to make my home and my dreams come true on Vancouver Island on Canada's west coast. I have not yet, ever regretted my decision. May God continue to richly bless your beautiful union. 💦💫💞

[@mysticallifewithalexandra]

[@LindaKlinton]

OMG! Your story are so alike mine and my hubbys. We actually met IRL at a wedding for a couple of hours the first time. But then we did not connect for about 6 months (even if we were on eachothers minds). When we got connected we chattade for 2 months/talked on the phone all waking hours when not working. And then our first date was 4 days. My friends and family were also so scared when I was saying I would travel to this mysterious man a couple of hours away. And here we are.......18 years later ;) . You both are amazing. Love your content. Kram Linda

[@MyPathtoSimpleLiving]

Awww such a lovely and special story. The Universe works in very strange ways. You are both such beautiful people. 🍂💕

[@eleanor4759]

Yes, whether we want to call it law of attraction, quantum physics or something else, living intuitively truly does have a way of bringing to you to everything you need.

[@jimbasham70]

I’m the 70 year old and it’s amazing the similarities of our stories. Unfortunately I was seeking a soulmate to share my dream of living off grid. I met someone I thought was too good to be true. Texting for hours n weeks. I was skeptical and my intuition told me she was a fake. And she was lol I’m still seeking lol

Oh im so sorry . I hope you will find you partner in life 🥰

[@Aethuviel]

That sounds a bit similar to our story. 😀 Me and my husband met online over our mutual interest for off-grid living in 2015, he took a long journey to meet me, and we had a week-long "date" at my place in early December, then he came over again for ten days over yule and new years, and two weeks after that, he moved in. 😊 We still don't have our place though, still in limbo about where we're going to go.

[@dysium1176]

I have actually also travelled in to the Swedish woods to meet a guy. 4,5h drive away from my place at Finland. Aand I'm moving in next spring. 🙈

[@MarA-cu3rq]

What a lovely story. The way you’ve tried to impress each other, when you were already in love with one another, was so pure and genuine. Your video is like a message of hope for all of us out there, trying to find that special connection that you both have.☺️

[@darrisnelson5223]

Beautiful story of finding love…a year after my divorce I told my 7 year old son that I was ready to date and explained what that was about. One week later I had a leaning fir tree that concerned me so called a friend for an arborist recommendation. I’d had jokers in my land that were clearly not professionals…I wanted a professional. My friends arborist/forester called and said he moved from the area but recommended a man that he said he would and has trusted his life with…that man came to my door almost 19 years ago…I knew what I didn’t want (had that in my 26 year 1st marriage) but I had ti get crystal clear about what I DID want. I wrote it all down and drilled down to my 5 highest values for a mate…I completed that list one week before meeting my (now) husband.❤ He is the polar opposite from my first husband. I would not have been ready for this relationship had I not done the year alone, raising my son and figuring out who I was. Love comes when you love yourself and are content with yourself-you are a whole human. ❤❤

[@naomimay82]

Lovely story!!! Sometimes you just know when you meet someone that you are meant to be together forever. That is how my husband and I felt when we met. Yesterday was our 21 year wedding anniversary.

[@joreggelt442]

Wonderful story! A proof that when one feels this is the right person, it usually IS that one person in the whole world, 14 hours away, no matter what. Super that you two met so early in life :)

..........and the rest was history! Love this story. Christine is lovely, inside and out. I see how these two mesh and get along so well, because they're both so laid back, and they really click with each other. Loved what she said at 22:18! So sweet.

[@vladimirpetroski7089]

Your story is so relatable and heartwarming. My fiancee and I started our journey somewhat similarly. She was doing her Ph.D. in Germany at the time, and I was 2500km away in Macedonia. But we'd known each other for years but didn't really get to know each other until we had our first date. And then after Covid hit, we didn't see each other for 5 months. Long story short, we realized after barely half a year that we were meant to be together. I love your videos and you are always so kind, you deserve all the attention.

[@countesscable]

For many years I have been drawn to Scandinavia, and knew that my Mother had Danish Cousins, butI didn’t know them. I saw a video about a cabin in Northern Sweden and my Husband and I were Smitten and we have spent many hours looking at these cottages and looking at different places in Sweden. We booked s surprise holiday to Finnish Lapland for my Husband. It was so beautiful. We haven’t found a cabin yet, or found a place, but I took a DNA test and found I was genetically 47% Scandinavian and Finnish! There was obviously a genetic pull towards Scandinavia 😀

[@9xqspx6]

The way Christine looks at Kalle, now that's love.

I just got to watch this video now 😅 I have a similar crazy story , the way i met my husband :) only thing we met on a dating app, and I moved in with him after our first date , and the rest is histroy. Been married for 10 years :) sometimes you just gotta have a leap of faith

Live your dreams... never question the definition of why you sought this lifestyle out! We pray for you guys with winter here... always stay strong and try to you both. It is a life line to the life you are living. I gave up everything, leaving friends and family to be with the man of my dreams and soul mare. I do not regret it.. I’ve been trying to survive aggressive breast cancer... took chemo and then decided to to alternative treatment. All is going well. Recent bloodwork came back with zero tumor markers... I believe the body has a way to heal it’s self. You both have been so great about healthy living and recipes. We are blessed with you both we look everyday for new videos. Please don’t stop... it keeps me going through the cancer fight. God Bless you all.
