Hi my name is Sofie
I am currently traveling by bus on a 10-day trip heading from Sweden to Norway
It's winter time so the trips will probably be a bit
challenging but I'm sure it will be a big challenge
I hope you will keep up
We took the bus in Malmö today
in Sweden and then we just kept
going north until we arrived at this campsite in the forest
I arrived quite a while ago in the evening
It was completely dark
so I was really interested in seeing how it would look this morning
And it's just so beautiful
We are so happy to have it as our first campspot
on this beautiful high mountain lake
We have just arrived at another
campsite It is completely dark outside
Today is December 21st so I thought
I would relax a bit on the bus
with some holiday sounds and some decorations
I will now try to make the first meal on the
bus Let's see how it goes
Good morning from the bus
We had not opened the refrigerator this night
It is minus 5 degrees outside so you
could definitely feel it inside the bus
I think tonight we will have the refrigerator open
This campsite is just amazing
There is this big river
running by it The water comes down so fast up here
so it also sounded a little
But this fresh landscape is just so beautiful
That was exactly what I dreamed of
When I took this bus trip
We are now just by the table
between Sweden and Norway Today
we will drive into Norway We are going to Trysil to ski
It will be really exciting
I have only tried skiing twice
in my life so I'm not sure how good I am
Men Frederik is a really good skier
so I hope he can show me some skis
I just realized that I haven't introduced
Frederik in this video He is my boyfriend
He also loves being outdoors and going camping
He doesn't like being in front of the camera
but helps me a lot with the film
Every time he goes on a trip with me
Thank you so much to him
I am really surprised
by this bus so I thought I
would give you a ride We get on the bus
Here is your dining table
And then the two front legs
They can actually both turn around
We have just used this
Because the loan here can be extended
And behind me is the kitchen
where we have two vacuums and a sink
The bus has a large water tank of 100 liters
So we used the kitchen to make the cases
We only used our hands
In the kitchen we also have a fire
We need to pray
It is actually much bigger than I thought
We can definitely fit two people
What I love about this bus is
It has such a large size We can soon put all
our things and goods away Here
we have some camera tasks
And our disk helper
Up here I have my beanie gladers and jacket
And of course some snacks
We need them
On top of the bed we also have a
lot of space for clothes and such
The bus is also very spacious
It has two on the bed One
here and one over there Here
you can also check the light
To make it really calm
And finally we have the water speaker which is here
Right now we are drying the water speakers
She has a large
mirror Hello
And a bed a shower and a toilet
The bus operates via this computer system
Where we can control the heat
You can also turn on hot water here
when you want to take a shower
On this panel we can control the
water meter the water meter for
the bus and we can also see the water meter for the water meter
It is actually possible to sleep four people in this bus
You can cut into the toilet and have an extra bed
This fits two people up there But since we're
just two of us we've just
been sleeping back here
If you like me also dream of trying bus
life you can visit a bus on Roadsurfer dk
And I actually have a discount
code to share with you so you can get it a bit cheaper
I will make sure to extend a link in the description and all details
Publicly in Norway we still find some in
Trysil We have arrived in Trysil
This training ground is just next to the fields We could
never have gotten this spot
if it weren't for the matches
We have already taken our rest
It has been quite a while
so we just need to cook a little lunch
and enjoy it as usual
I think when you go camping you have
to be a bit creative with your food
So today we have Swedish meatballs
with red curry and conut milk
I don't think it's very traditional but maybe
it could become a new Swedish Christmas tradition
Today is our first day of skiing
It is going to be really exciting
I hope I don't fall too much
Let's see
But first it's necessary to have some dinner
It's only 4:30 in the evening but it's already
completely dark We are going
to try some night skiing
We did it
First day of a three-day ski trip
I was actually a little better than I thought
After a 10-year break
It was very exciting
Good morning
It's just such a beautiful morning
So I had to come out here to drink some of my morning coffee
Fortunately it is very warm
Coffee The temperature is
not Look at this beautiful
lake The lake
is rising slowly
I still can't believe our location
We really slept right on the floor
Today is December 24th
So this evening is Christmas time
I think it's so peaceful to be in a landscape like this at Christmas
Today we will just enjoy the day skiing
And then
Tonight we are going out for dinner at a restaurant
Because it's Christmas time
So we wanted to do something a bit special
Snack break
We had a long and fun day of skiing
Now we are ready to go out for lunch at a restaurant
We have the little Christmas berry with presents for us
It was that The last day of skiing
We've had three good nights here at the campsite in Trysil
It was so exciting to try skiing again
Now we will go further north to an area called Bejto
We are going on a day
trip I am so excited about
it It's something I've dreamed about all my life
So I'm really looking forward to it
We are now leaving Trysil
We are back in skiing and filled with water
Now we are on our way to Bejto
I found many wild camping spots before we started driving But it
was not possible to park at any of them
There was just too much snow So now after driving
for seven and a half hours We
ended up at a private campsite
So now we have paid to be on their campsite
But then we can also get some electricity and use the facilities
So that's good
So it has been a really long day
I was super tired
We need to heat up a little dinner before we go to bed
We've had a very good night here at the campsite
We were just so tired from driving for so long yesterday
We still had to drive up a little early
Because today we are going on a house tour
First of all we need to get some bagel
We are all dressed up and ready for the dogsled trip
We are wearing these big clothes and boots
They are really warm
You should slow down
Stop Should I stop
Stop
I do that too
Fly high
I think it's good that there is a wall at the beginning
Come on fly them
It's a bit exciting
I hope it's fresh
It's an amazing experience
Oh crap
Drive them
We have a short break and the dogs don't like it
They just want to keep going
Why
It is a common experience I feel so
cozy about trying this That
was all I dreamed of
Thank you for following my channel and giving me experiences like this
Should I insert it here
You did it so well
Where should I put it
We are now
in the water We found this perfect parking spot
We met a Norwegian man who said we shouldn't come here tonight
It seems a big storm has arrived like a hurricane
So they will be dragging the road away he thinks from tonight until afternoon
So we shouldn't stay here
But it's just so beautiful
I would have loved to come here with this view of the fjords
Maybe we should go back to the parking lot where were tonight
Sauna tonight
Yes they have a sauna
So I really want to do it
Wash the husks
Wash the husk's melt
Then go into a warm sauna
To buy good food that actually sounds really good
Now we need to drive back to the city
It's good that we talked to them
We could have been stuck up there We
are stuck
What We are stuck
We're definitely stuck
What can I do Should I go out and dig
Should I go and dig Yes
We are stuck in the snow
Let's see
Yes
Okay we'really stuck
Time to bring out the snow help
We want a couple of drops
We were stuck but we got the wind really up
It's very stormy up here now
So it's good that we are driving back
We parked the van in the parking lot And now we'
re just going into the
city To look at some places
If we'really happy I think we'll find something
to eat in there This town is just so cozy
All is covered in snow And people use their
sleds or their skis to go to Greenlandic kitchens
It is really cozy
It is 3:30 in the evening
And the sun is gone
It's about 9:30 tomorrow
So we have what is it six hours of the day
They are looking at this sea
It is just
so beautiful And a very well-made pizza
It has been really stormy
this night The car has
just won And it has sounded really bad outside
Now I'm excited to see what it feels like when I go out
The weather is so bad outside
So we just have a nice day inside the van
We're going up for a big breakfast
Just take it slowly
We are now stopped at a small shop on this farm
It really looks cozy Let's see what they have
You can buy all kinds of men from the farm here
Just check it out and pay
We stopped at this beautiful parking lot right by the sea But of
course camping is not allowed
here There are big signs everywhere
It has been a bit challenging to find good parking spots where we can camp
Everything is just covered in snow
But now that we've finally found a clear place we're not allowed to camp here
This is an example of the camp sites we have found and are trying to reach
And then we come and the road looks like this
After what happened yesterday when we got stuck I don't think we should try to drive here
So we'll just keep going
She stopped right next to the road There is a
refrigerator here And I just
went a little further down
And I think I found the perfect campsite
If I can prove to myself that I need to drive the van down here
It's a little cold but someone else has done it
So maybe we can too
I will go up and try to prove it to him now
Campsite
Near this river
Now we just need to make some dinner as usual
And enjoy our new home at night
It's really cold with this wind
But I'm just so happy
We've finally found a good camp spot
It has been really hard with all the snow
We have parked
the car And the refrigerator is on its way
So now we need to make a little bit of dinner
Where I created all our copy selection
It was strange with a small lunch
I saw that there is a car
Just outside where we parked the car
So I'm thinking about going out and making a sled
I think it would be really fun
Now I am all ready to go out into the snow
And the wind
I felt like making a sledge Even
in this crazy wind It's so peaceful
sitting here with a sledge
I froze
I love being able to just jump into the fridge
Every time I feel like making dinner
Stay warm
In the colder months I really got used to having a car
So I don't have to sleep in the refrigerator
I just need to sit here and do some work on the computer
It's time to start editing the video you're seeing right now
We have a lot of jam in the refrigerator
We can just open the door
It's not that cold
It looks good
It's really really good
It has been such a good day
The perfect combination of being outdoors in nature
And having a cozy time in the refrigerator
Now it's time to
go to bed Goodnight
It's such a beautiful
morning here in Norway
It's very cold But also just so beautiful
Look at this cloud
It's actually quite
early So we have a whole
day to explore It's
so nice We are heading south
As the snow slowly disappears
It's a little bit tired
It will also make it much easier to find good training grounds
We found a new fantastic playing field
Right on this large lake
Excuse the red surfer for going a little over the line
I promised you we wouldn't
We just had to come down here
Let's go and look at the place
It's just fantastic
The sea is just completely fresh
Should I go out on the sea
Seven days in Norway
We've just been thrown off the track
We have now parked at the last campsite of this trip
It's a bit sad that it will be the last night on the road
I will go and explore the place
We drove down this red road for a few kilometers
Now we've just parked right next to the sea
It's just so beautiful
The Swedish forest
We are in southern
Sweden The weather is
a bit warmer It is exactly 0 degrees now
But I think it will be negative temperatures at night
Now we will enjoy the last night of this weather
By making a battle work right here
Next to the sea
I think it's going to be a beautiful evening
The deal is really closed
The weather is wild
And then there's my hair
This trip has been really fantastic
I'm so tired of it being over
It's amazing how much you can experience in just 10 days when you have a campervan
A big thanks to Roadsurfer for making it possible
Remember to go and see them if you want to try something similar
You can check the weather all over the world and it's really easy
Thank you very much for following my progress and supporting my channel
It really means a lot
I'll see you in the next video
