IT'S OVER | Did I STRUGGLE this Polar Night? Anxiety? | Svalbard

The light has returned to Svalbard. We've made it through the long, dark, beautiful

polar

night

, through all the crazy, windy snow storms, into the sunny winter season. Our powder

night

officially ended on February 15, when the sun appeared above the horizon for the first time. since October last year, but it has taken us a while to even see the sun, all the snow storms and cloudy weather have kept it hidden from our view, so it wasn't until March 7th that we saw it next to our cabin for the first time

this

year it's the sun

this

is the first time since last year that the sun is in the cabin because there has been so much snow storm we haven't seen it until now it's beautiful oh my god this is amazing , do you want this gift, okay, look? passed under the test oh I want a little show Pony it's so cold today I think it's minus 15. but it's that cold do you see this Christoffer can you see it oh my gosh it takes a while for the sun to rise high enough to shine in the town that happens on March 8 and it is a great event.

Here in longubin we celebrate the SunFest for a week in honor of the return of the sun, the entire town is invited to gather on the stairs of the old hospital to On the occasion, there are a couple of musical segments that give a price to this year's SunFest image winner and the Chan children at the arrival of the sun, but not every year the sun wants to cooperate, it's SunFest 2023, where is the sun ? Let's go see the sun, yes, I think so too, don't you think? I think we have around 12 17, so it starts at 12 30. but the Sun arrives at 12 30.

No, I think about 15 minutes later or something like that. I don't know, it's a very quick thing, I think it was about 20 minutes, I don't remember, but every time I think this ended very quickly, well, I brought my sunglasses, you look so ready, yeah, I'm super ready, like that that this. It is something yes, this is the first time that the sun will reach the town since October. We love a good SunFest and the kids here are also going to sing a song and sing their song for the sun. to show it, I think it's like a cheerleading song, yeah, it's really cute and we're drinking coffee and we're having a soluble bagel, this is pretty nice, a sunburn, so now we're just going to wait for this to start.

About 10 minutes later, we may not have seen the sun that day, but we know we have more than enough sun since then, our days have been gradually becoming clearer and brighter and by April 19 the midnight sun will be here for I stayed a few months right after SunFest. Christopher and I went on a cabin trip. We drove to a place called Dia boss which is one of the largest cabins you can rent as a local in Svalbard. We can rent remote cabins that are scattered around the world. island we like to leave our already remote location to something even more remote with no cell service electricity or running water so we are here at your boss to just relax for a few days just a little break in the video because nordvpn is back sponsoring another video. and as you already know, nordvpn is my favorite VPN.

I use nordvpn not only to access location-restricted content around the world, but also to stay safe on the internet. A VPN hides your IP address or location, making it harder to track you. It also encrypts data like passwords and sensitive information instead of sending it over the Internet in plain text that any hacker could access. That's why it's especially important to use a VPN when you're on an open network, like using Wi-Fi at your favorite coffee shop. Nordvpn has now made it even easier to use their service with their VPN proxy browser extension. All you need to do is download the extension, log in, click Quick Connect to automatically find the best VPN server.

Very simple, visit nordvpn.com Cecilia or click the link in the description to get four months free on a two-year plan and all risk-free with nordvpn's 30-day money back guarantee, so many thanks to nordvpn for sponsoring this video and let's go back to the Foreign Adventure cabinet, okay? good morning, it's soon oh yes, thank you as you know last night Potter's night was quite hard for me. I had a hard time managing my work schedule. It gave me a little

anxiety

and it was difficult. Powder night has always been my favorite season. So I was really sad that I didn't enjoy it.

So how did this

polar

night go? I filmed a talk at home about it and thought we'd take a look at it now. Hello everyone, I thought about that while we're here. In the cabin we might as well sit here a little bit so we can watch because I think on this cabin trip I'll just be reading books and relaxing, I don't know why but I'm in that kind of mood right? Now I'm having a creative slump which I guess is pretty normal to have sometimes, but it sucks when you have it because you're like, I don't know what I'm doing, but I thought we were going to have it anyway.

Sit back and just report on this night of power and it all happened so quickly. If I look at my channel now I'm like I'm polar. Videos from the night to this where it's like welcome again, it's the sun, it's all here, it's kind. That's how it's been this year, it's usually more gradual, but since we've had so many snow storms, oh my gosh, it's been like a dark white and now clear, but now that the sun is back, I'm literally looking up. outside and I can see the sun on the snow and it feels so strange and so normal at the same time, it's like you don't even notice that a season has changed, but it's also like what's happening makes some sense, but this is it polar.

I would probably say it was one of my best nights, usually the polar night is my favorite season. I love it but last year wasn't very good and I think it was mainly because of work and because I didn't have a balance and I really

struggle

d, I know I had

anxiety

, I was so stressed that I just didn't enjoy it, it felt almost like the darkness was taking me I was choking and that's never happened before, so I thought, what's not to like about this? Every now and then this year I thought, "I'm going to show myself", this is my favorite season because it is and oh boy, I miss it already, you know when it's like Christopher said the other day too?

He says: I miss the darkness. I too is the polar night. It's also just pretty strange as our most social period. We have people here all the time. You know, we do so many cozy things and the darkness is so comforting. I think you probably have to be a certain person with. I enjoy poker night as much as we do, but I think it's great here at Spa Bread too, little Bard, it's a very important season and you know, it's the northern lights and the stars and just the beauty. I also think the biggest difference for me this year is the reason I enjoyed it so much is because I really respected my own schedule and my own time, if that makes sense, last year I had to work all the time.

I need to do this. I need to like it all the time. I have no idea what he was doing schedule-wise. I was just working all the time because I kept feeling like I was behind. You know, this year I handled it much better. I slept according to my schedule. I worked according to a schedule. You know, I managed my schedule. I think my work was a little better and a little more efficient, so I had a lot more free time and was able to enjoy the darkness. You know, it wasn't just about creating content. You could do it in a more organized way. way and that definitely made a difference for me so that's something I'm really considering this year is I need to be a little more organized and efficient and just set a time when I need to do something as far as work or and then I do that and also if you're new here or haven't been here for a while, you might be wondering what your job is right now, it's YouTube.

It's you and also just content creation in general. It's, you know, photography and videography, I don't know, and it might be for magazines. I've had, you know, some condensed photos and stuff like that, but mainly it's for my own channel, so it's for my Instagram, it's for tick. tock and for YouTube and YouTube is my main so I post every Sunday so I always need to know how to make a video, film it and edit it. I do everything myself, so that's what I mean when I say work and you know, a video. It can be anywhere from eight hours to, you know, 30 hours of editing, so it's really like having a good plan for that, but this modeled which was absolutely incredible.

I haven't checked my vitamin D levels yet, I think it may be a little low, but I don't know if I'm really going to check them. Let me know if you want me to do a vitamin D check because if you find it interesting, I'll totally do it because it's so easy and You know, it cost me five dollars. I usually do powder night which is from October to February in one go, I never leave and I really like being here during this time but this time I had some work stuff to do so I know I was in Stockholm for two days to do something on YouTube, so I left the island more than usual, which I think also contributed to dividing the darkness.

I think that if I entered this polar night, I wouldn't even leave in October. or November or December maybe just at first, but I would make sure Christopher and I go somewhere like January because that's when you kind of need it October is beautiful November is exciting, you know it's getting dark December is Christmassy, ​​it's super cozy and January is boring, it's like all the fun is gone, might as well get out of the dark for a while. I loved this polar night, it's been fun, exciting, cozy and you know, everything felt right and good. Like me, I did my exercise like I always do.

I was outside a lot. I was walking. I was seeing all the beautiful northern lights. I really enjoyed it, so I think it's nice. I also often get comments from you that you enjoy winter more now. and that makes me really happy so let me know in the comments if you like how this winter has been and if you've been following me for a few years now I think I've been on YouTube for three years like I've changed because I usually try to Share some tips, such as taking vitamin D. Put up string lights. Make everything cozy.

I want to know if it made a difference or something for you guys, because that could be cool. I will also remember it to share more below. The polar night is crazy, I'm already looking forward to it, but now first we have this super cozy, not cozy season. This is actually not a season that is welcoming. I'll get it back, super adventurous because now that the sun is out. Everything is like the whole world here opens up and we have snowmobiles and just the adventure, this season goes by fast, we have until maybe May with a good winter like snowmobiling and skiing and then it's spring so everything melts and Then the boat season begins, very fun.

Things are happening but yeah now we're going to go back to the cabin we're in, we're in DIA boss which is a shorter trip from Longubin because we wanted to go on some sort of adventure in a closer cabin so that's What We're Hanging Out I think it's a very quiet trip at the cabin, like I said, I brought four books with me. I just want to relax and read, so let's go back to the cabin and thank you so much for being here and for watching. And subscribe. If you want to be notified when I post and we have many more adventures to come and many more little bars so let's go to the cabin I love you guys goodbye stranger thank you stranger stranger.
