I am jealous though, I love the rain I love cloudy cold and rainy those are my favorite favorite favorite days, and night ❤❤❤❤

[@NorwegianXplorer]

It can be beautiful!

[@juja6042]

Spectacular sky

[@NorwegianXplorer]

👍

[@idaberrones4834]

Wow, that's amazing the Atlantic ocean im on the other side of the world

[@katrinagibson6559]

I agree about the most cosy part of van life, listening to the storm whilst all snug and warm, when you go outside it is amazing to see the weather but I prefer you to be inside and warm looking out 😊, you go above and beyond for your channel

[@NorwegianXplorer]

I need to get outside and film a bit lol, i know I have a comfortable place to look forward to:-)

[@Umxhosa]

I am watching from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Greetings!

[@CoMorbiditty]

Looks like we are all fans of your cozy times in your van. That is the best, with a raging storm outside, snug, safe and warm in your van. I also do appreciate the outside visits!!! The weather there is phenomenal!!!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

It sure is!

[@maggiej253]

Your van looks so cosy and homely, especially with the sound of wind and rain ❤

[@NorwegianXplorer]

It really is! I love it!

[@MisfitsFiendClub138]

Like the old Motley Crue song 'Home, Sweet Home' 😎🚐

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Exaclty!

[@goofyrulez7914]

I love the idea of being near nasty weather but not in it. ❤

[@patriciabandeko3842]

This is exactly what it's like to park your semi truck for the night with a storm raging outside. Very cozy.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

indeed!

[@kimberlyj4538]

Extraordinary. Scenery, storms, Northern Lights, the bridge, the music, the sea, the photography. Your content is just so enjoyable. TY

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you so much 😀

[@nesay678]

A perfect lifestyle

[@NorwegianXplorer]

I agree!

[@elib7311]

So lucky to see Northern Lights in person. Thank you so much for sharing the best light show in the world!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@paposeco06]

Now this was a good video! Rain, rain, rain!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Awesome, thank u so much!

[@juditate111]

Wow, to call that water "choppy" is a gross understatement. The northern lights were fantastic, just gorgeous. Great storm. I can't wait to see the second half.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Glad you enjoyed it, it was awesome!

[@arrabellawillow7943]

I absolutely loved this adventure, the van is very cosy with the storm outside I loved the northern lights what a treat I will be watching this a few times 🌟✨✨🌟

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Awesome, thank you so much for your support!!!

[@hannahkai1882]

You're one of the best on this platform.. thank you, for taking us with you!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you so much Hannah🙏

[@Wisdom-Nuggets-Tid-Bits]

AWESOME video!!! Many nice surprises. Love Atlantic Ocean Road! Love the up looped/risen bridge! I have seen pictures of it - I love bridges. Such a great spot for you right there on the beautiful ocean with the unsheltered and sheltered reservoirs! The waves were gorgeous. Lovely heavy rain storm in your cozy warm van. I do not believe I have ever seen your van at night all closed up with only the pretty decorative lights on. Wow!! Vast open sky's showing off the Northern Lights!! Just beautiful. Jarl, I bet they are more spectacular to see in real life! But they sure are beautiful in this video - as all the videos you share with them. The potato/cheese/veggie wraps looked so delish. Yum. And the coffee!! Nothing like hot delish coffee in a warm cozy space during a heavy rain storm - especially if it is super cold out. This was a real treat! I like your blue tire levelers/wheel stops for your van. I can bet they make the van secure in times like this and on uneven terrain. Looking forward to part 2. Blessings.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Hey, thank you so much, it sure is a cool place!

[@soundsrelaxing888]

Glad to see you back in your van!!!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Oh yeah, always in the van:-)

[@terryrogers1025]

The Northern light at the 14:20 mark was just nothing short of awesome, thank you you for posting that. I to, like a good storm, always have, and you had a great one there to experience and with a hot cup of coffee it couldn’t be better. Thanks for the video sir.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thanks Terry, glad you enjoyed it!

[@Manifestoronaplain]

The way you color-grade your videos is just beautiful💙 Thank you for sharing

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Awesome, thank you so much for saying that!

[@idaberrones4834]

Beautiful view from the highway looking out at the water

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thanks for visiting

[@rosiebateson4498]

Fantastic video. I cannot think of a better place to be in a storm than in that lovely, cosy van ♥️👍

[@NorwegianXplorer]

You and me both!

[@rillawhat8142]

Great video 👍🏾 The combination of peace and adventure!!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you!

[@clavierclavier3246]

Thank you for this beautiful video. I experienced the same thing during a storm in Guernesey and Cherbourg. Superb feeling to see nature like that. Enjoy!!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

My pleasure 😊

[@revd.stevemcgregor]

Fantastic? First time I saw the Northern Lights was in Tromso. I thought ww3 had started, had never heard of this wonderful phenomena before. Never to be forgotten. Thanks again

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@MisfitsFiendClub138]

Great upside with the heavy rains is the air is so incredibly clean, so refreshing to breathe that filtered air. The time lapse around 15:00 was majestic. Really enjoyed hearing the strong winds howling around your van. Another great adventure Jarl! Thank you for the amazing content! 👏 👌🌧💧🌬🌬🌬

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you so much!

[@oifivguy]

The Northern lights are absolutely breath-taking, love the music you attached to the light show, Thank you!!!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@gkookies1254]

Certainly some beautiful country there. Thank you for posting.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thanks for watching!

[@marydunn2009]

Amazing video. Loved the northern lights. They were stunningly

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

[@mawo3961]

Epic video. I really like how you show just nature and then contrast other scenes focusing on equipment or man made objects in the nature. Quite unique style. I enjoy that very much. Also the "time for coffee" is an essential part of your videos. Aero-Press, nice!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you very much!

[@Arizona-Sonoran-Desert-Guy]

My sentiments exactly, "time for coffee" is the best part of every NX video.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Awesome!

[@berilmurray9879]

Absolutely breathtaking, Thank you so much for sharing!!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@patshankle3281]

Can't wait to see Part 2. What a video - Northern Lights, storms, and that high bridge! That would be terrifying to cross in a bad storm. Since there is a Part 2, I am assuming you made it through. Quite an exciting experience. Keep safe in your travels. Kindest regards. AM

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thanks AM, I probably made it through yes, but the waves pick up in ep2:-)

[@nikospapageorgiou57]

So here I am drinking my coffee and enjoying my cookies, while watching this very nice van camping in a storm video, and then you suddenly start making the cheese wrappings with chili mayo, and I get so hungry, that I ask my wife to make them for me! And then you show this amazing footage of the Northern Lights, and I am left speechless... What a great video my friend!!!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you so much Niko!

[@Rutlandeye]

I am truly envious, I want a Cozy van too.🙂

[@NorwegianXplorer]

I love it, feel blessed!!

[@INTUITIVENORSK2303]

👋Hey there Norwegian Xplorer! As always, another awesome video from start to finish. Always enjoyable for me. I love the music within your videos, I enjoyed watching you prepare your coffee & cheese wraps. lol I also love your wee lanterns within your van. Really nice & gives off a warm, homely & inviting feel/ambiance. I really love the outdoor scenery. Just beautiful & makes me so wish to be right there! The Aurora Borealis is always a spectacular natural phenomenon. Always amazing to witness. Tusen takk for sharing & here's wishing you well. Peace✌

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you so much!!

[@TJMessianic1]

Woooo LAWDaMERCY 🫢😮 I was hollerin “HOLD ON Bertha!” Yeah that’s what I’ve named ur van. Bless it. Looooooove to b n at home during these things with candles lit. I too love candles 🕯️! LOVE that bridge too it’s beautiful. The northern lites were amazing n I think it’s my first time to see purple waves. I don’t live far from the Atlantic Ocean which is my fav body of water. My state borders the Gulf of Mexico but we live rite near Florida which borders both bodies. As much as I love forests n mountains it’s the ocean that has captured my heart n soul most. As far as u speaking Jarl u never have to stop talking as far as I’m concerned. Ur voice is as comforting as the sounds of rains. Looking forward to part 2. I think I am at least. 👍🙏❤️‼️ TJ

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you TJ, so you are on the Atlantic coast too, that is awesome! Bertha, lol!!

[@hataramadhan7295]

You certainly capture some amazing skies

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you!

[@juditate111]

Those clouds looked positively grouchy.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Yeah, they where

[@64TMS]

"I love a good storm when you can keep warm and cozy. " Those are your words Jarl. I can echo them with every minute of my life. I'm right there with you. I thank you from the bottom of my ❤ ! I've been meaning to ask you if you've ever listened to "Madrugada"? Sivert and Co. are one of my favorite bands. The lead guitarist for "The Church" (Australian band) recommended them a few years ago and they've been one of my favorites ever since.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you, yes I know Madrugada, havent really listened much to them, but they are very well know over here.

[@64TMS]

​​@@NorwegianXplorer Yes, I've heard that they sell out all over Europe. People in the "States" have never heard of them. They are just now appearing on "First Listen", KZbin sites. But for the most part, they are unknown here. I appreciate your ambient stuff you put on to match the "moods" when you are driving.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Awesome thank you! Lol, you are the best!

[@gulfgypsy]

Your van looks wonderfully cozy and comfortable --- and you're a good cook, too!! I used to love the sound summer storms with rolling thunder and heavy rain when we lived in Minnesota -- Sometimes I'd sit on the porch and watch the storms roll in -- Other times we'd just sit in the bit old farmhouse kitchen and watch the storm out the windows and drink coffee. There's something about the sound of rain that can be so soothing and relaxing. Enjoy your travels!!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

That sounds nice! Thank you!

[@scooby1446]

I love watching your videos but this has to be my favourite video that I have seen to date, and I mean out of ALL the videos on KZbin about different subjects. Can’t wait for part 2. Thank you once again. 😃

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Wow, thank you! That is incredible for me to hear!

[@waynes.1247]

Credit where its deserved , I was there in April 2022 , I love Norway around the winter months with the snow , mountain and the fjords , I hope to visit Lofoten at some point in the winter . I really have enjoyed your videos over the years and they have given me the desire to visit Norway , I've never been disappointed .

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Couldn't agree more! I am hoping to go to Lofoten this winter as well!

[@davinajarvis]

Oh wow what an amazing video, love to see and hear all the rain ☔️ do you ever get frightened? That road/bridge is absolutely phenomenal would love to drive over that take care stay safe and thank you for another fantastic video ❤

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thanks, maybe a little bit if it gets extreme, but I will move if it feels unsafe

[@mikedaniels1888]

Love your channel! Please show more in your van. I had a Travato but sold it and I loved when it rained it relaxed me so much.

[@bluewiz28]

Brilliant video my whole family love your atmospheric filming. More please 😊

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you so much John, I am so happy to hear that!!

[@bluewiz28]

My pleasure, read about the Atlantic highway and seen documentaries on the BBC, especially about the iconic bridge. 😊

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Yeah, it is a really cool place to stay with a van@@bluewiz28

[@Arizona-Sonoran-Desert-Guy]

I felt like I had to pay to ask this first question: Do you have a toilet in your van? When you make coffee, would you please show us the brand and why that brand? The all-important coffee time is the highlight of your videos. When you are in your van, try brewing coffee in a Chemex. It would taste better and smoother than an AeroPress. Thanks for your time and effort in making the videos for us. They are a delight to watch and re-watch.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Awesome, thank you so much, yes, I have a chemical toilet in the van, it is a thetford cassette toilet, works extremely well! How is the desert?

[@Arizona-Sonoran-Desert-Guy]

@@NorwegianXplorer It has been staying quite warm late in September and into October. In the mid 90's F/35 C. It will finally start cooling down next week. October is the loveliest month here in the Sonoran Desert. Winter is always great out here, as one never has to shovel sunshine.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Lol, exactly! I have been out in the Sonoran desert a few times during winter and it is lovely. I really love the endless desert vistas.

[@Arizona-Sonoran-Desert-Guy]

@@NorwegianXplorer Yes, the desert landscapes and vistas are spectacular. There is so much (teeming) wildlife, birds, plant life and trees, majestic saguaros and other cacti, extensive big sky cloud formations, summer monsoon storms, etc. It's a great place to live and visit. Thanks for your time. ATB

[@milouo1034]

Så otroligt mysigt!! ❤️

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Takk, ja det var koselig:-)

[@reginebilliet2679]

You enjoy the storm, don't you, Jarl, 😅 laying on your belly on the bed, hahahahahaaaa ! Your van is a shelter too, a cosy one, (whith the cosy little lampions) although the shaking of it by the wind is a bit scaring... (also you were very close to the highway where the speed is so fast)... You had the courage going out, and getting soaked-wet for filming it....for us, in order to let us experience it too... Magnificent northern lights, you were lucky !.... By the way, Jarl, haven't you brought your guitare, to give us a serenade 🎵 🎶 when storm is over ?... Thousand thanks, and always stay safe, dear friend ! 💜

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Haha, no I do not play the guitar like that, not for other people, only for the recordings I make:-)

[@reginebilliet2679]

I saw a picture of you playing the guitare and a lady singing... on internet. Aren't you going to make music any more in your music-studio ? Have you perhaps closed that phase of your life as a music- composer ? That would be a pity.... As you know, Jarl, as an elder person (born 1945) I needed quite a period to get used to your conception of music, but I must say there are some (mostly slow and soft) compositions that I really appreciate.

[@FlyingFox376]

Woohoo, what a fun adventure! I can almost feel the wind and rain, as well as the coziness of inside the van, and what a lovely spot you chose. The Aurora Borealis was stunning, lucky you! As always, thanks for sharing 🥰☕️🌧

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Glad you enjoyed it Suzanne, it was quite spectacular!

[@irenejoseph9547]

Those were angry white caps on the ocean and that elevated roadway looked absolutely harrowing. I hope to one day visit your lovely country. Until then, I will keep enjoying your great videos. Stay safe.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you Irene!
