We bought a small farm in Norway 🇳🇴

Norway is a beautiful country with clear blue fjords, more mountains than you could ever hike, a decent amount of wildlife, and endless forests.
I mean, the winters are long and dark, and the mosquitoes and biting flies will annoy the hell out of you in July, but apart from that, it is an amazing place with vast space and very few people. It is a country where you can still return to a life of less dependency, and a closer connection to nature.
At least that's what I like to think.
As a bonus, buying land and small farms in the countryside is somewhat affordable. That's why my girlfriend Thea and I bought a small farm close to a lake in the countryside of mid-Norway.
It took a childhood in a small town, 5 years of studying, and a year in Vietnam to realize what life I was truly looking for!
I couldn't find it in any other country until we came to Norway.

Hello from England thank you for the beautiful video ❤

[@DavidS5118]

Norway's Tourism Board should hire you to promote the country. I love your story of finding a place of peace. Enjoy.

[@tilldaling]

You let them now 😅 they haven't even ever answered any email. And I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@Markus-iu5is]

@@tilldaling The should. You really live more like a norwegian than most of us norwegians ourselves 😂 And your rocking that Mariusgenser like no other. Your the real viking tourists are looking for!

​@@Markus-iu5is it's the perfect sweater! And I'm glad you think so, let us see if they ever reach out 😅 I would not say no to some long exploration!

I love how you ended the video with the homemade ice bath.

[@tilldaling]

Always! In that case hot tho 😅☺️

[@QuietestKris]

I didn't know you were not Norwegian! Cool, this makes immigration feel so much more possible. Thanks for sharing some of your history. I think it's cool that you became a hiker, an outdoorsman. Enjoy peace.

[@tilldaling]

It's still a bit tricky with the immigration but definitely possible :) I'm glad you enjoyed the look back :) maybe you'll make it here too one day :)

Awesome video! In my opinion, Norway is the most spectacularly beautiful place on earth (coming from the US). We have been there twice in the last 2 years, late spring (Bergen/south & Lofoten Islands/north) and have driven 6k miles +/- exploring and mostly 'SUV Camping'. My partner and I both think of Norway almost daily and there is something pulling us back- an almost unexplainable feeling. We must have some Viking heritage lol. We are planning to go back next year and maybe one day if we are lucky enough we will purchase a small cabin ourselves. Keep up the great videos!!

[@tilldaling]

I hope you're going to have a great time on the next trip as well! Norway by SUV is definitely my favourite, maybe you stumble into your own little place someday :)

[@northhugr]

Incredible video. Beautiful cinematography and narration. Wishing you an exciting and peaceful journey. I also appreciate your honesty about the work and financial challenges of getting a farm off the ground today.

[@tilldaling]

It's quite a demanding journey! But nothing so far made me question the decision 🏡 I'm very glad you enjoyed the video 🐺

Lovely video, Till! I’m so glad you’ve been able to find fulfillment in a more rustic lifestyle. It’s been gratifying to see you and your young family grow into where you are now. It’s a like a greatest hits of your lives! 😁

[@tilldaling]

You knew the story before watching I assume! :) Denmark doesn't even feel too far away in terms of years :D

[@MDobri-sy1ce]

Great video Till! I looked through your older videos and came to the conclusion you are 28. The beard makes you look a bit older though lol. I hope you are proud to be German despite your passport difficulties. One of my best friends is mostly German. Me and my brother tease him on certain things. Right now on Duolingo I am learning about Oktoberfest.

[@tilldaling]

That is correct! And it might be so :) I do like the structure and discipline being German comes with!

[@MDobri-sy1ce]

@@tilldaling Me and my brother make the joke that our best friend is the dominant one in relationships because of his heritage. I do have some German in me but mostly Italian and Eastern European. So, I consider myself pretty disciplined.

I’m happy that you have not given up. I’ve watched your progress for the past year or more. I understand that realization of using recycled material, having not much money and lots of effort to accomplish something. My home features much of that. But I always look at my shed with satisfaction. I know it will last a lifetime.

[@tilldaling]

I'm not particularly good with giving up :) And those structures at least have character! That isn't something you find often in modern buildings :)

Perfect video. I definitely gonna visit Norway someday. Feels like you sold me a country And thanks for the warning that life outside the city actually harder than city

[@tilldaling]

I'm glad you're enjoying Norway as much as we do! :)

[@alfheimregenerativefarm]

Very cool to see your journey! We are a small scale farm in Innlandet, and it is true as you say. This life looks very idyllic on the outside, but oh my gosh it is so much hard work. We moved to a farm to live the simple life, but in the last three years we have been more overworked and stressed than ever before. But it like you say, you're setting up a business, and finally now on year 4 we feel on top of things, and life is calming down. Good luck on your project!

[@9623230104]

It's so amazing to see you progress. I have been following your journey since last year. I dream of owning a farm in Norway and your journey is truly motivational. Cheers.

[@tilldaling]

I'm glad you stuck around that long :) it's of course fairly progress here, but steady. I hope you will find your farm in Norway sometime :)

[@MDobri-sy1ce]

I kind of feel like Canada is a mix between productivity and simple living depending on where someone lives.

[@tilldaling]

It is the same here, all cities have the pressure I assume :)

[@ZeeWolfed]

really nice video

[@tilldaling]

Glad you liked it 🐺

[@sobefobik]

I don't understand how people are able to support themselves living like this. I'll admit, I'm jealous. Do you get a monthly stipend from your parents? Did you earn huge amounts of money before this and you're living off that? Or is it just insanely cheap where you live? I'm really interested in how people do it.

[@tilldaling]

Would be nice with that stipend :D Savings before and two companies at the side now... That and financial worries :) It's very expensive here.

[@beeheart6324]

It is so good to see another one/a couple take action in living life that feels good. We need you young people very much on this planet to live the change that we older ones have been preparing in our own way. Of course not all of us did prepare this change but some of us did and we've been looking for those who would follow and to continue what we started. It may not seem like much that was done (or more not done, like not following the rules that also were laid us for us) but it was not easy and then nor is it today. It gets easier when you realise that you are not the only one on this path. Thank you for taking action! This is not about changing the world with big buildings etc! This is about living according to your heart, according to your soul's calling! This is how change is happening on this planet. And yes, it does take either time or money or both and it's ok as the path is what counts, how you feel while you do what you do, is what counts! Well done for taking action and buying the farm. This is how it all starts now with the new world that we are creating. I am one who walked a different path many times and I had to compromise for a while (like go back into the 9 to 5 routine for as long as needed) and then continue on with what felt better to me. It was always so good to see that there was the odd one doing similar things. Validation is nice to find at times. My post here is to validate you and to cheer you on! You are on the right track, you are doing what you came here to do! This is how it's meant to be and yes, for now it's about ownership of land that we can be good guardians (of course we can be that renting places as well). Thanks for sharing and keep going! 🙂

[@tilldaling]

I'm glad you think so! Buying the farm was a big step financially, yet very fulfilling. It's great you are joining this little journey here :)

[@vickypetkova3551]

Hey Till, could you please share some info about weather in Trondheim region? We found a very nice cabin but wondering if it too windy/rainy there? The cold and darkness are not a problem but only some strong wind and everyday rain would bother us. Thank you for your time 🙏🤍

The coast is windy, not too strong in summer :) I'd suggest you spend some time here to see for yourself!

[@vickypetkova3551]

Hei Till, tusen takk for sharing this very calming and i inspiring video! We are also looking for a cheap cabin in southern Norway but would like to have a permanen living right. Do you thing this is possible for eu citizens and an average budget of 50 000 Euro? Tried to contact some norwegia real estate agency but they do not respond. We thought it could be the lower budget... Thank you for your responce.

[@tilldaling]

Those would be small farms without the need for husbandry... And on that budget, I'm afraid it is not going to be much more than a ruin or an extremely simple cabin without a permanent right to live. 100.000 plus some restorations will be more realistic :) Pretty much everything goes over Finn. And most likely and unfortunately, they might not have taken you seriously :)

@@Jgrey3691 Well because German tourists amongst others litter, leave literal heaps of sh*t and used toilet paper, refuse to support local shops, and bring most if not all their food from home, and we had enough of Germans from 1940 to 1945. Campervans, RVs, and the like clog the roads, causing dangerous situations, and seem to think traffic rules do not apply to them.
