WE SPENT 6 WEEKS ON A NORWAY ROAD TRIP - EXPLORE with us! (ep. 1)

[@SimonBraeck]

What a beautiful country... Anyone in the comments who did a similar trip this year?

[@realrawt]

Yes my favourite was geiranger.

[@Danj9201]

Yeah we did 😏

[@SimonBraeck]

@@Danj9201 This sticky comment was aimed at you guys😉

[@SimonBraeck]

@@realrawt great place😊

[@sequoiasemperviren3163]

I spent three weeks in Finland over June/July visiting my late father's first cousins. I hit as many Finland national parks & waterfalls as possible and capped the trip off by driving up to Nordkapp. (covered 6.5k km - very expensive rental car mileage charge but was well worth it) You folks live in beautiful lands! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@TheSpitfire10]

All your videos have inspired me to go to Norway, the very top destination on my bucket list. Keep them coming guys

[@SimonBraeck]

Thank you, it means a lot!👏🏼

[@RyanShirley]

So stoked the Norway Van vlogs are back!🇳🇴🚐 You’re aerials are on another level! 🤯

[@SimonBraeck]

They somehow always return after the summer months😅 Thanks mate, I appreciate it!

[@Braapncamp]

Vilken härlig första episod, nu är man ju fast och ser fram mot nästa. Vackra vyer och så fint att de hade en båt att låna och gästbok vid sjön. Älskar sånt! Ha det gott 🙌

[@SimonBraeck]

Takk Mattias :) Ja, det er helt herlig å finne sånne plasser, velger å holde slike funn hemmelige så de beholder sin «mystiske» karakter.

[@Braapncamp]

@@SimonBraeck Helt rätt, jag brukar också låta bli att nämna fina platser som ännu inte har listats på diverse appar. Det blir färre och färre smultronställen som är okända.

[@richardsayer1533]

Great to have you guys back….it’s been too long!

[@SimonBraeck]

Thank you! I agree…

[@erikvanos1273]

Thanks for the first episode of this new series. Just great!!

[@SimonBraeck]

Thanks for watching:)

[@beverleyfisher935]

Love your videos. Looking forward to our trip next year along with a visit to family in Lillesand.

[@SimonBraeck]

Thank you! Sounds like fun, Lillesand is really beautiful.

[@billbeyatte]

You make me sooo envious. I visited Norway decades ago in a VW like yours and long to return. I just bought a Ford Transit AWD camper van and intend to ship it from the US and retrace your route. I'll stay tuned.

[@SimonBraeck]

Oh wow, that’s cool! I hope you get that dream fulfilled, I guess a new Transit will make it a comfortable experience compared to an old VW😅

[@sbsaxb611]

Truck Noris looks great. Happy to see new videos from you. We'we been in your beautiful country this year. Due to bad weather we'we been sourh of Trondheim, Molde and atlantic road. The original plan was Lofoten, but no problem, we'll attempt it next year

[@SimonBraeck]

Thank you! Really digging his new upgrades and the new wheels and tires made such a difference in my opinion. I see, the summer this year was terrible weather wise. But like you said, there’s always next year!

[@ashutoshmeelu7017]

Can't wait for next episodes. The narration and the co-ordinates of the places and the candid photos. Everything is on point. So happy!

[@SimonBraeck]

Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked it

[@billfish5913]

I have missed you guys and your blue Vanagon Camper. Another video filled with stunningly beautiful Norway. I must visit your wonderful country. This summer I replaced the push rod tube seals and the oil pressure sensor on my 1978 VW Camper Bus so it would stop marking its spot with oil every time I parked. I also reset the points and timing, so not only is it not polluting the environment, it’s running like it has some power. My wife and I are making a fall leaf peeping trip next week in our home state of Wyoming to Cody, Yellowstone Natl Park, Teton Natl Park and Jackson Hole. Hopefully we don’t get snow. Looking forward to episode two.😎👍

[@timvenkman]

As always, an amazing video. Beautifully executed and the scenery is amazing. We did our 3 week norway tour this August and drove from Senja to the Lofoten Islands and then the west coast / fjords down to the south. One thing that I was so amazed by was how blue the water is. Even in your video, it looks so surreal - you can't believe it until you have seen it with your own eyes :D We loved your country so much and hope to be back soon! Also, on a completely unrelated note: Norway has definitely been the cleanest and tidiest country I have ever been to! remarkable :)

[@martynjewell5627]

Your country seems to get more stunning with every new video. It on my bucket list to visit. Thank you

[@JUANORQUIO]

W❤️W! Stunning! Cheers for more awesome and incredible adventures!🥂❤️✨

[@b8barbara]

Love the summer Norway series! It’s so cool that you’re still exploring your own country. I guess there’s no reason to go anywhere else when you live in Norway ❤

[@jamesb8467]

Happy to see the three of you again. I’m looking forward to the series my friends.

[@Vryga]

Love it, I just watched other videos on some days ago and I was wondering when there will be something new :D and here we go! Loving Norway, you show really cool places, Molden is one of the best for lookout on Lustrafjorden, and I see glimpse of Sunnmøre coming, cannot wait :)

[@SimonBraeck]

Haha, what a coincidence! I totally agree, seems like you know what’s about to come 😉

[@latitude_explorer]

Really enjoy your art of storytelling and cinematography! It feels like there's always something new and epic to discover in Norway. Can't wait for ep. 2 🧡

[@SimonBraeck]

Thank you🥹 I will get to work🤓

[@jiajunfu6227]

Cant wait to see the rest of your adventure!!! Hope to be able to see it for myself one day! 👍👍

[@SimonBraeck]

Thanks! Fingers crossed🤞🏼

[@JackStolz]

You guys are an absolute vibe. My wife and I recently purchased an 84 vanagon with an AAZ! Twins! Anyway I can’t believe everything you experienced in this one video, and I can’t wait to see what comes next! Pure beauty

[@SimonBraeck]

Thanks Jack! That’s so cool, best of luck with your «new» old timer :)

[@tantysuhartono6059]

So glad you guys posted new videos❤

[@SimonBraeck]

Thanks, finally! More to come👏🏼

[@hughchappell8552]

Hi have been watching you videos for a while now and the photos and filming is great , watching you Norway trip brings back fond memories when my mate and I spent three months in Norway back in 1985 driving around in an 1974 1600 vw van fun times keep up the great videos thanks

[@MakeDoAndMend1]

Stunning beautiful photography and adventure. We also had to change our fridge. The space down the side we used . Found a slim plastic diesel Heater Fuel tank and used it for drinking water. Also found a rechargeable usb water pump. Having the drinking water down side of fridge keeps cool. Video in my Playlist if you want to watch. Its called" DIY Draw. Motorhome Drinking Water. Battery USB Water Pump." Cheers from old George and Jane in the UK.

[@SimonBraeck]

Will check it out, thanks!

[@iBrierley]

Glad to see you both back! I’m currently in the Lofoten and working my way south, excited to add some more things to my list!

[@SimonBraeck]

Thank you:) Must be nice now with the fall colors. So much to see, good luck at filtering out where to stop:)

[@nexttimenorth3353]

Great upgrades to Norris. Really nice video shots again. Enjoyed the view in the morning from The mountain Woow… Rgds from Germany

Good to see you again and some more stunning sights of Norway. Enjoying the energy and enthusiasm you have exploring and every turn has something great to offer. The van layout is looking nice and looks cosy to spend time in. Your dog is beautiful and seems to love the adventure along with you. Great video! and looking forward to seeing the next part.

[@SimonBraeck]

Thanks, we’re always on the hunt for new places :) You’re right on, really enjoying the upgrades in the van and Zulu knows that being in Norris means being on exciting adventures😃

[@puravidaviajando]

Amazing place and vídeo!!!

[@EpicFlippers]

Dude I love the film pictures incorporated in the video!!! May I ask what type of film camera you have? Love the videos guys!!

[@raptuspl]

Another epic video! Great job guys. We really enjoy watching them and we are so in love with Norway. One question regarding your dog as we also have one that we take with us wherever we go. Do you always keep yours on a leash? Is it mandatory in Norway? Our dog usually runs free unless we are in some national parks or reserves that require to keep the dog on a leash.

[@SimonBraeck]

Thank you😊 Not all the time, but there is a general enforcement to keep dogs on a leash during the summer months, because of the free roaming sheep and cows all over the country. People tend to disregard this if they are in areas without kettle or if their dog is extremely well mannered both in regards to wildlife and other hikers.

[@PostcardAndAPint]

Norway is so stunningly beautiful. I’ve only ever really explored it from the sea. We’d love to drive it. It’s so green and clean. That first waterfall was incredible. Your drone shots are out of this world. We look forward to watching this series. 🍻

[@bluewendytube]

That was a pleasant surprise and as usual, a visual treat. Good to see the interior upgrades too. After a first overnight excursion in ours, I think we need a few!

[@martinjones2397]

Been waiting for this and you didn’t disappoint, can’t wait for the rest of the series 😁.See you have some upgrades on the outside of the van also.

[@stevewhalen5551]

Nice to see you guys back and posting! Thanks for sharing as always! I finally got my Westy done and hope to share some adventures soon! Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you guys while I waited for mine to be restored! Best wishes and safe travels!

[@esthervandermeiden8666]

Thanks to your videos I fell in love with the Norwegian landscape. This summer I visited Norway for the first time and it was beyond my expectations! I am looking forward to the other episodes in this series so I can get some ideas for my next trip 😍😊

Hey Great video and shots 🤩 Whats the location or name of the place where you borrowed that boat? Looked so nice 👌

[@SimonBraeck]

Hey! Thanks! Unfortunately, I must keep some of the gems to myself. So many former “hidden places” that are mainstream in Norway, so I try to encourage people to explore new places on their own✅

Очень рад снова видеть вас!! Невероятно красивая природа! Надеюсь, что мне удастся так же попутешествовать на своём т3, как и вы!! С любовью из Санкт-Петербурга!!))))
