Why Live In Greenland

Reasons to live in Greenland, coming from a current citizen of Greenland, with 15 years of having lived here, while working and with family.
To sum up shortly, the reasons are:
1. Short Distances
2. Nature
3. Fair salary, 40hr weeks, healthcare
4. Underdeveloped market
5. Big influence

[@omegafilmcorporation]

WOW!!!! Now that's what I call very interesting indeed!! To be honest, I've thought of getting a new life in Greenland for quite awhile now, especially the southern region of Greenland. Which that place definitely reminds me of Iceland, North Wales or the Scottish highlands. And I definitely agree with your view about development in Greenland, since Greenland has alot of potential there. For example, they currently still haven't got independent free-to-view TV stations yet, like over here in the UK. So for quite awhile, I've designed and animated my own TV idents for my own stations, which that was TV Sydgrønland, Vestkysten, Østkysten and TV Thule. I would also want to do gardening there as well. But yeah, even though this new life is very long way-a-way from now, as I'm still pretty young and not that ready yet, I do hope sometime I could come and visit Greenland someday. As its one of my most favourite countries of all time. But yeah, awesome video Alex and greetings from England!!!! :D

Interesting take on the underdevelopment! Im also definitely wondering what you think about the isolation? Depression from darkness, loneliness or cold? Thanks 🤓

[@AlexAmasaOlsen]

In regards to isolation, you are kinda isolated when you live here.. Each town is usually only connected by boat or plane and you can feel alone. But you can always take a plane to Denmark or Iceland, to escape Greenland once in a while, thats what I do. So, isolation is in my opinion not that bad, we have internet, entertainment and if you have a good job you should have plenty of things to get done. Winter depression is a real thing and I know I personally am affected by the dark. Which is why I make sure to have proper lighting, get out when possible, exercise and long term I will buy a light therapy lamp. The cold is solved with good clothing, higher energy bills during winter and generally being cautious about your stays outside.

[@ABCDEFGHdumbo]

@@AlexAmasaOlsen I wonder how the Kangerlussuaq-Sisimiut road might change that? Guessing it'll be more so feeling less isolated from tourism than for the commercial aspect and, eh, 500 people in Kangerlussuaq, but then again I'm writing this from the United States so I have no idea :p

I visited Greenland last year. It was great. Great people and interesting.

[@Ignatius1972]

I have a strong fascination about Greenland since my childhood. If I have the money, I would love to implement some kind of farming/gardening business there. I know the lack of fresh veggies on the country and the large amount of money waste with importation is a real issue for the country. Southern Greenland is just a little bit colder than Northern Norway or Patagonia (Southern Chile and Argentina, one of the main fruit producer in the planet), so thinking about of summer outside farming and winter greenhouse gardening is not that crazy (maybe) But, now, it's only a dream. Very interesting channel. I'm a new subscriber from Southern Brazil.

[@AlexAmasaOlsen]

I like your idea and have myself thought of the problem of importing all those vegetables.. I think a hydroponic system would be the way to go, since you would be able to supply veggies year round. We actually already have one "greenhouse" called Greenlandic Greenhouse, where they use hydroponics to grow lettuce etc.

[@Ignatius1972]

@@AlexAmasaOlsen yep, I know about Greenlandic Greenhouse and certainly is a great improvement for the country, if you think how the situation was just a couple years ago. But I still think Southern Greenland has a lot of potential to do much more. I hope more people of Greenland think about this for a near future. If it's true we cannot stop global warming, it's time to begin the process of transition from a tundra place for a, maybe, future temperate and productive region. I always think about California and Israel deserts and the Dutch "greenhousers" from the Renaissance when I read about artic regions and the impact of climate change. 😊🤔

1) Depends what you mean by high speed? We have available 100/100mbps for businesses and i think you might be able to get more if you request directly from Tele Post for a custom plan. 2) 1kwh=1,65DKK So depending on your needs it might be and you might be able to make deals directly with the electricity provider, since a mining operation would require such large amounts of power.

Great description about living in Greenland. I think that it should be truly fantastic to live there, but I am also aware that we must face the problem of global warming in order to preserve these lands and their natural environments. Thank you for this nice video

[@AlexAmasaOlsen]

Yes, lets preserve the ice we have up here please😊

hello... Alex how are you ? what are you doing in greenland.

[@AlexAmasaOlsen]

Hi! I am living and working in Greenland. Working in a telecommunication company, where I take care of the buildings and for managing construction of new one.

Do people have dogs there? And what are the laws on owning dogs?

Can software engineers live here

Hi Alex, if we working, can bring our parents to stay with us, how about the visa process?

[@AlexAmasaOlsen]

You can check a video I made about becoming a citizen in Greenland. There are some links to the immigration website, which is pretty good.😊

Tried to buy it in the forties too. Not unheard of. 100 million was the offer back then. free healthcare isn't free...

Nope, healthcare is never free.. Taxes or insurances, depends what you like best.

My house was 288.000 euros, it is a townhouse so not a freestanding house. I have a video about it, feel free to check out the inside of it.

I like the idea to live in a calm environment, but the weak infrastructure of such a remote place scares me. I prefer living at the calm edge of a big city, so I will have nature outside the city and a good infrastructure.

[@AlexAmasaOlsen]

Yes, we live very isolated and it can have its challenges. Hopefully the new international airports will do some good for Nuuk and Ilulissat😀

@@AlexAmasaOlsen I guess Greenland might be something for vacation only for me. Are the hotels expensive there? I don't have much money, indeed I struggle very much, I have debt of 76000 EUR and I have to pay high interest rates, I struggled with paying my rent this month for the first time in 10 years. Wish I would pay only lower interest rates of 2 % p. a. or so. Right now I pay 7 to 11 % p. a.. But maybe Greenland vacation somewhere in the future.

[@AlexAmasaOlsen]

@@BlackStarASMR I hope you get rid of that high interest debt soon my friend! Because vacationing in Greenland is definitely not cheap.. A hotelroom in Ilulissat is roughly $200 pr. night and in Nuuk you could get a budget option for $140 pr night. Airbnb rooms are a cheaper alternative.
