I can not agree more. I moved to Norway 4years ago thinking the same... People are looking at you everywhere, straight in your eyes (without any shame), waiting for you to say hi or smile, chat in elevators, at shops, forests, streets, fuckin everywhere (even if you have headphones!). Maybe they are trying to be friendly but it is creepy, very frustrating and overwhelming....

@@koromar1037 im Norwegian and i think what you say sounds completly foreign. Norwegians dont chat easily with strangers. Looking people in the eye for a short moment is normal. I dont think a stranger (who is not a employee) has ever talked to be in a shop in Norway, ever, not once in 32 years. Now, if you are a good looking young woman you will of course get more attention, but thats true anywhere and even more so outside of Scandinavia. If what you say is true it is likely your own behaviour that makes people try to chat with you. Me or any women i know have never had this problem despite being Norwegian and living here all our life. Our experience is the exact opposite of yours, Scandinavia is one of the few places where people leave you in peace, maybe even too much so. Even talking to a stranger at a bus stop is extremly unusual and i can count on one hand the number of times ive seen it happen. As for anxiety, if you have social anxiety Norway(or scandinavia in general) is not the best country, because people with social anxiety needs to actually interact with people to overcome it. Being isolated and in a unsocial enviroment will only make ur problem worse over time. Of course that doesnt mean it causes anxiety, but if you already had it, it will be more difficult to fix it in that enviroment. And lastly @Anastasia moving to Stockholm og Gothenburg is a very bad idea, people are even colder there. The biggest cities in Scandinavia are the ones socially coldest. Gothenburg and Stockholm also have huge problems with criminal immigrants and mass immigration and can especially be dangerous for women. Your anxiety problem is not rooted in the city you are in but rather your own situation and yourself, work on urself rather than blame the surroundings and get off those pills, its really bad for you.

Dear Leena, I have a friend from Malaysia. He came for a visit some years back. After having had a walk around in the fishing village we were staying at in Lofoten he came back and stopped me. Then he said, Frode, "do you know what I heard?" I had to tell him no, I don't know. Then he said "Nothing". I was baffled by this. But he then explained that he had lived 40 years in Kuala Lumpur and he had never heard nothing - or total silence before before. He loved it!

Many of us are introverts. Often people think we don't like people, but that's not really true. What it's about is we need the solitude of our own thoughts and are easily overstimulated by the outside world. We need to have peace to be at peace. I take some hours to be in big cities here and there, and can enjoy it, but It' like a weight taken off as I leave them.

I have Asperger's. Was recently diagnosed as being on the "high functioning" end of the Autism spectrum, and I've always felt the way you describe. You may be on the spectrum. I considered myself a Highly Sensitive Person- HSP prior to discovering traits of women and girls with Aspergers. It runs in my family starting with my grandpa. My mom has it, and most if not all of my moms siblings. For years I thought my being different was just that I have ADHD- diagnosed at 5, and often hyperactive, but the Asperger's was missed until last year, at age 30. I got the diagnoses at 31. I'm also an empath- I feel others energy and emotions, and cand read their energy psychically. I'm also clairvoyant.

Always felt weird and lone even in crowds. They had fun, but all I wanted was to "escape" or going home. Now, after more than 20 years, I read books about introverts and hyper sensetive persons hsp and it is like Leena discribed. It really can do harm to you trying to be like most of common society. Its ok to meet with common people, but not for that many hours, cause after this it is getting exhausting.

i am now over 50 years old and never had the courage to go into the wilderness because i had the same fears: to be considered a failure, to be labeled an outsider. money has nothing to do with it - peace can be found everywhere. I can perfectly understand how you must have felt in the city. i was once in the caribbean, bahamas and i loved it, but everywhere just ruckus, music and party and and and and - nowhere calm and peace. A friend took me on his sailboat, to a small island, just sand and 5 palm trees on it and around 50 miles of sea, no boats, no people - nothing. Only calm sea, whispering sand, wind and silence. There I finally felt at home. So I swore to myself that I would move on to the landside - and I did. It is better today - not perfect, but better. I wish I was younger and had the money to buy a boat. Thanks for reminding me of my dreams!

"Failure"? why?? what`s wrong with trying? if you don`t like it..well, then at least you have tried. Also, by "going into the wilderness", I assume you are talking about settling down in a little house/cottage, like she does? not just going on a hiking trip..which can also be done together with other people, which means you couldn`t possibly fail. The fact that Leena has so many followers, must be a sign that many people are longing for wilderness as well, so I can hardly imagine that anyone would label you as an outsider. Anyways, people should follow their own dream, which she clearly does. Leben und leben lassen! grüsse aus Oslo .

@@bjrnjensen7074 As I said: I am over 50 - those were somewhat different times back then in 1970´s. The fear of failing to do something wrong - that is not something you are born with - it is something you learn from your background. My parents came from very poor backgrounds - dropouts were just stoned Hippies for people like them. Anyway, my comment above should only be a praise for the young lady and not a discussion why I didn't do it the same way. Remember: It was different, much different times back then - There were no social safety nets and it was far from easy to go and settle in another country ...

Humans need nature. We are not ment to live in concrete jungle with constant pollution by loud noise and flashing lights, with constant social pressure to do useless things. Its always a huge relief every time i travel to the norwegian mountains, and just turn my phone off and relax. More and more people are depressed, wonder why...

I agree that nature is wonderfull, but how and where humans should live, really depends on the preference of the individual.

I would love to live in a big city, and i cant really explain why. I would just personally be fulfilled by enjoying all the diffirent people, the hustle and never being alone.

@@SeelenTaucher I live in the US in a fairly rural town. However, any work involves traveling to much more populated areas that make me inherently uncomfortable. I don't like the bustle and noise. And with the political situation here, even at home I'm constantly beset by the feeling that I'm surrounded by people who think very differently than I do, as if I'm residing in a country that is actively hostile to people like me. Even before 2016 I felt very much out of place, but since then it's gotten far worse. Someone asked me recently what quality I feel most people lack and 'empathy' was the first word that came to mind. I've been at odds with my environment and everyone around me for so long that now all I want to do is live in isolation and just... recover. I feel like we've all lost something in pursuit of 'progress'. Sure, we have a coffee shop on every corner, but what have we sacrificed? I yearn for something simpler.

In 2019 I went to Norway for a month long road trip (from Finland) with my girlfriend and her sister. We took a ship from Turku to Stockholm and drove to Oslo. It was the first time I've ever been on a trip like that at an adult age and without my parents. The whole trip was life changing. And all the time I want to go back. So, last year we went back for two weeks. This time we went through the Finnish lapland and drove to Lofoten. The moment we crossed the border to Norway I felt home. I can't explain the feeling. Norway did something to me. It represents a freedom that I don't have back home in Finland and the completely impossible nature that Finland has none of. I can't believe a place like Norway exists. I can't think of a single negative thing about Norway, well, other than how expensive it is. Some day I hope to be able to live in Trondheim. At the very least I want to go back there. Not just for a few days. At least a month. I need it.

Uhm no. That only applies to people with money. if your broke and struggeling with mental health ishues you cant just move to some place that would suit you. We can't just do what we choose. I have been stuck in the city for over 7 years because I can't afford to move anywhere because of my mental health ishues I can't hold a job so I have to live on a budged provided by my government, but it's barely enough to get by. Don't get me wrong I'm gratefull my country even has a budget like that. But considering most of my ishues are strongly enhanced by the city and the crowd, there is a good chance I could find a job if I got to live in a quiet peacefull environment where there is not noise/music/loud people everywhere all the time. I need a big budget to move, as the nice and quiet places in my country are all expensive. And only if i can live in a place like that will I be able to destress enough to function again. It's the great irony of how this sytem works. With a higher budget I could heal, and become independant again. The low budget means I'm stuck in a cycle I can't escape from. I've been suicidal about this. (before worried people start replying I'm not suicidal now, just very very stressed ) Me and my mome tried everything, nothing worked, and nobody can help us. People say you should be gratefull for just having a roof at all, and I am, but as I am high sensitive to noise, and almost all living spaces have neighbours that make noise, I almost never find rest. I sleep horrible, I lock myself in my room all day to avoid more noise from outside, it sucks. If I won the jackpot I'd move to a nature filled place like that instandly. So as somebody who can't choose what to do, to the point she considerd suicide as the only way to escape all the noise, I'd have to disagree with you. Only those with money, or certain abilities have that freedom. The rest is stuck in the ratrace.

My mom did the same she was done with it all here in Holland and she packed her bags and moved to Norway. She learned the language and found a job very quickly, found a little house in the middle of nowhere very quiet. I've been there on holiday and its really a different world so relaxing and with beautifull nature straight from a postcard. Everytime i comeback from Norway i need to adjust to the life here in Holland its so hectic. Good to see you also found your place there keep it up.

I live in Orange County California, and cannot imagine life in Holland being hectic. I’m thinking though it’s different when you actually live there. For visitors, a new place is always livable until you do. I don’t dispute living in Norway or Sweden (as the other girl) is fantastic and has its charms. I’m afraid of the cold winters and would not do well in the lonely nights. Vacations, even long ones, would be a much better choice for me. They’ll keep me dreaming, too, that I found my own little nirvana. 🇺🇸🇳🇴🇸🇪🇩🇪🇱🇺

Now i live in a small vilage near the forest (veluwe), i can see it from our house.There's a lake only 5km from us, but there are also enough facilities nearby like a school for the kids and multiple supermarkets. If we want to go to a larger city like utrecht for exampe,its only a 45min drive

Dear Micheal. Being a Norwegian this means alot to me. How we everyday see our nature surrounding us filling us with peace and prosperity, it never really occurs to us that the 7,795 billion other human beings on Earth (well, maybe except our fellow Scandinavians) have experienced. Knowing how you value our everyday life is simply and truly astonishing.

It's weird, I have this thing where I feel like I belong everywhere. The most depressing thing to me is that I can only grow up once and live one life, and then it's over. I wish I could live a thousand lives, all over the world, but sadly I can't. Rural areas are amazing and I can empathise with the sense of calm and tranquility you feel there. But I also find I love cities, the activity of them and their diversity and size. I'm only young but I'll probably end up living in a city. I would love to live in a rural area, but I'm constantly reminded by how short my life is and my need to go to as many places as possible. Living in a rural area is something I would do if I had an extremely long life span, but unfortunately I don't so I do not think I could cope. Regardless, Norway is a beautiful and amazing country and I hope you enjoy your new life there! :)

I have had a similar experience with Norway. In 1984 I moved there from California to be an exchange student for one year. I lived with a wonderful family on their farm on an island near the Arctic Circle. The moment I saw their farm and the place I would be living I knew I was home. Like you said, no analyzing, no thinking about it, I just knew. I have been back 10 times over the years and every time I am there I feel more at home than I ever have in California. I became part of the family I lived with and now my kids feel like they are part of my Norwegian family as well. The people are amazing, the nature is amazing and everything you said about it is spot on. I'm glad you are home and well now. Say hi to Norway for me! Please let me know if you read this. Ha det godt.

I understand how she feels. When I was younger, my vacations with my ex wife involved traveling by air, paying huge amounts at resorts, meeting new people ( I dreaded dinner time conversations with friends of friends or family members that vacationed with us) staged photos, contrived romantic evenings or structured "adventure" activities. That is 20 years in the past ( so is the ex) and age 60, my favorite vacations are time I spend alone. My last vacation I backpacked by myself for 4 days without a phone, didn't see another human being and never saw a man made object. Unfortunately, due to family concerns, I can't live in a remote area. Silence is golden. Cities are nothing but anxiety chambers for some of us. I understand that escaping city life is difficult for most people-humans love modern conveniences, dining, technology, social interaction. I'm glad I discovered that less is more. Best of luck.

"Not having much, and not needing much" feels so wrong to me. To me it seems you live in astonishing luxury. Not luxury defined by big swimming pools, fast cars or vast mansions, but luxury in space, nature, silence and not having to work night shifts in a soul crushing factory. This is so much more than what most people have, even compared to germany - on a global scale this is even more poignant. Living alone in a house, especially a great one like this is not "not much". Being able to step outside into nature, not hearing anything but nature, not needing to see or interact with dozens of people is incredibly rare.

You are unhappy because you dont have Jesus in your life, society told you there is no God with a reason, to make life meaningless and to make people depressed all the time thru demonized tv shows and music or instant pleasure(porn for example). Jesus gives peace and joy and is the only truth in this world❤

Now you make me want to visit Norway soon!:)

I really liked Newfoundland. When I showed some pictures from there to some folks who visited Norway, they told me that St. John's looked just like Norway. So, you have a glimpse of Norway in Canada. Although I expect people to be different St. John's folks are pretty open, friendly and embracing. From Norwegians I know I would expect more like minding own business attitude.

This makes me cry, because I feel what you say with my emotions. When you spoke, I felt it with my soul. I understand exactly what you mean. I was born in Russia, raised there till 13. At 13 my parents decided to move us to USA Florida. I was depressed, I cried and did not want to leave my motherland, but I was only 13 and I didn’t have a choice, it was with my parents decided. When I was getting in the car to go to the airport I got down on my knees and kissed mother Russia the soil and I told her goodbye for now I will return one day. I took with me a jar of Russian soil. Living in Florida I never felt like I fit in here, and the climate and environment of Florida is just not for me at all. I tried to be happy here, but I can never find happiness. One time my family and I went to Tennessee mountains for a vacation, and I felt exactly there how you felt in Norway. Everything you described being in Norway is how I felt in Tennessee Smoky Mountains. I’ve been back there so far five times already, and it is a 10 hour drive from where I live. I know it’s probably impossible for me to return to Russia, because of many reasons I’m not going to get into now, but in Tennessee mountains I can find a home, a home for my soul. Smoky Mountains Tennessee is surrounded by organic nature, untamed by human hand, and this is where I can find peace

I am so glad you feel that way about the smokies. I live in WNC near Mt Mitchell (the highest mtn on the east coast) on two acres surrounded by the Pisgah Nat'l forest in a black bear sanctuary for the past 30+ years. Being in the woods feeds my soul, gardening, hiking, being alone in the quietude near a creek or the river nearby is sacred. It is a blessing in my life and am grateful. I am so glad you discovered something that brings you peace of heart, mind and soul. Do not settle for less and live your dreams! Mix that dirt with the property that you will live on in Tenn and let it join forces with the energy of your motherland. That will be magic indeed!!!!

Your story really touched me. I was struggling for so many years with depression and anxiety. My uncle suggested I meditate and it helped a little. But it dawned on me one day that when I was most happy was when I was in nature. I’d lost my connection with it over the years. Unfortunately I can’t move from where I am, but I make sure I take time to get back in touch with nature and I’ve been much happier! Watching your video reminded me of the way I’d been feeling and how I began to break free. And I do so love seeing how beautiful Norway is! 🥰

I used to be someone who liked the crowded city, but that changed a lot in the past years, now I feel like I just wanna be in nature without any other people around. Thanks for sharing your story. Please continue to inspire us. Grüße aus Bayern :)

Some two years ago a 20 kg explosive charge was detonated right in front of a tenment building in Linköping, Sweden. That's roughly equivalent with an anti-tank mine. No one was injured but the façade crumbled and looked like it belonged in a war zone. That's Sweden in a nutshell.

I remember feeling a similar feeling of belonging when I was in Copenhagen for a 3 month semester. I felt like i was falling in love with a place in a sincere way I didn't know could happen. Every memory from my childhood came blossoming back like it there was never a gap between them and my adult life. We immigrated from Ukraine when i was 5, and i haven't i felt like myself since. I never feel real. I even had a chance to visit Norway for a week, and there wasn't a single day I didn't feel...okay. When the time to leave was nearing, I lay a hand on a tree in a park i liked to frequent and just said thanks to...everything. Wished I'd come to feel the sense of home again in my life. I wept a cry not of emotion, but of life.

These pseudo inspirational videos make it sound so easy to just pack your stuff and go live in the country of your choice when you don't even TOUCH upon the question of how you're actually affording it. Leaving your home country to live abroad isn't just packing up and leaving, many people just don't have the coin to do so. If you don't even speak the language, how are you gonna find your way around? where do you work? english isn't always gonna help. the financial aspect is probably the biggest obstacle to overcome for people in order to start an entirely new life abroad and I haven't seen a SINGLE one video on the internet that properly explained, how it actually came about on the financial side. They're always just like "well I was feeling bored/depressed/uncomfortable in my home country so I just moved abroad. just like that." I know that this video is explaining the WHY and not the HOW, but it just cracks me up that these kinds of videos try to push forward this "do what you love, follow your heart"-narrative while blatantly ignoring that most people just can't be that spontaneous due to financial restrictions and other barriers. If it really were as easy to move abroad as you make it sound, don't you think EVERYONE would do it?

At that point i took a flight, did all the 3 interviews in one day and luckily landed a job. I flew back and got ready to leave for good in about a month. As for the house i`ve started looking for a place after they told me the job was mine.

OK, the operative word in the title being 'Why' not 'How'. Everybody's life circumstance is different so there can't be one set rule for how to pack up your life and go to live in a new country. I started life in a new country with 100 bucks in my pocket. Probably a stupid and reckless way to do things, but I made it happen because that was what I wanted.

If your mental health isn't worth getting up and try to make that cash to go away, I don't know what. It's not easy when you are depressed to change everything. I know where you are coming from. But those videos are motivational - not a guide. Cash can be a factor, but many people are - at the moment - packing up their stuff and move away because of war without much either. The last thing they think of is if the people can understand them. They want to survive and they probably die if they'll stay, too. And in a sense, it's what Leena did as well if you ask me.
