I love the view from the storn and that road where you pass the high bridge, it was so amazing I just wanna know where it is?

[@spc3461]

Wow, your second week of full-time van life looks like an incredible adventure! Driving to the Arctic during June with cozy camping and even a snowstorm - that’s the kind of experience most of us can only dream of. Your videos always inspire me to explore more. Keep sharing these amazing moments! ❄️🚐🌟

I love traveling with you! Coffee is THE most important part of starting our day for sure! When you are driving I feel like I am in the passenger seat beside you! Love that.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Cool Emily, thanks for joining me on my travels!

[@INTUITIVENORSK2303]

I should add, I laughed out loud @ the boiling of the towels, as I always thought that I was the "odd man out" that often does this, but I was wrong! haha I do it between weekly laundry washes, to properly sanitise my face washer. As the boiling water is so very hot, it really helps to properly clean/sanitise. I have a wee tip to share. If you add a tablespoon or two of white vinegar to the boiling water, it will really help to get rid of any "unwanted" smells.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thanks for the tip, I have bought vinegar for that purpose, but forgot about it lol

[@ricklarry4212]

Van life suits you. Thanks for the inside and outside views. I liked seeing your travels from one area to another as well as the towns you passed through. You're a good cook! Your meals looked appetizing. I like coffee too! Your creative process is on full throttle.

Thank you Becky!!

[@deekelley891]

Wow! What an amazing place. I was worried about that first day. I think in our excitement to be on a new adventure, we have the tendency to push a bit too hard, but don’t feel it because of that added adrenaline. But once you’re behind in that kind of heat, it’s hard to catch up. In glad you slowed down and focused on your hydration and rest. I think it’s a good idea for the park to ensure people have a companion in case of emergency. I hope you’re better and I think this is one of your best! Thank you.

[@INTUITIVENORSK2303]

👋Hello there Norwegian Xplorer, I hope this post finds you well my friend. This is as always, another wonderful masterpiece of travel cinematography. You always capture the beauty of your surroundings & your entire video makes for really enjoyable viewing. I never tire of it. I LOVE the evocative & ethereal like music. So enjoyable to hear. I recently invited a close family member, to watch one of your videos & he said, he really enjoyed it & found it very relaxing. I found it amazing actually, as it's so hard tp get him to sit still for more than 30 mins, so when he watched your "entire" video without getting up, I knew this was something very enjoyable to him. lol In ref to your van, my relative pointed out to me, that he watches 3 other you tubers who travel across the US/Europe & they too, have the same or very identical vans to yours, so they're obviously a popular option for turning into a campervan for road trips. We so yearn, to visit Norge again very soon & until then, watching your videos helps to keep us sane.😄 Tusen takk for creating & sharing. Peace✌

Amazing, thanks for inviting your friend!

10,000 Swedes ran through the weeds, chased by one Norwegian. 26>30; with you Coffee time is anytime. With Me it's bacon, bacon anytime anywhere, with or without anything. I'm #198 to "like" this video. 1:54 - you must have found the parts need to fix the leak. I especially enjoyed the scenes at campsites where you were visited by wind animals. Peacefully grazing I thoroughly enjoyed every second of this video. Thanks for taking your time, effort, & equipment to share your adventures with lil ole MEeee in far away Reno, Nevada, U.S.A. BIG QUESTION - Norway has recently announced a world class Mother Load of the hRare Earths that are required for most anything having to do with magnets & or AI. Will you be traveling where this place. I suspect there are many Norwegians who want no part of the rear earth project while some will embrace the find with both arms.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thanks Bill! It remains yet to be seen if it is foreign companies that will trick their way into ownership, rural Norway is kind of stupid in this regard, if a foreign company promise 50 work places and a swimming hall to the local community they can usually get away with anything. We will have to wait and see, but I have very little faith in it becoming a fair deal to anyone here in Norway.
