How moving to Norway changed my life | Living in Norway as an American

I am living in Norway as an American, and I would like to share with you how moving here changed my life. It was 20 years ago when I moved from a big city in USA to Norway and I am still in awe every day I go outside. The air is so clean.

I live in a small log cabin tucked away in the woods. Would you like to know what makes it so special?
It is quiet. I can hear myself think. The sounds of the forest relax me. I have found an appreciation for a simple slower paced life with less stress.
I can remember the day I walked off the plane in Norway directly from USA. The year was 2002 and the contrast was night and day. There were mountains, and the fjord glistened in the light. I was so lucky to live my first 12 years in the far North. I experienced the sun still shining at midnight. When the dark months of winter came, I was in absolute awe of the Northern lights. I know they are on many people`s bucket list to see and I feel so lucky. Drinking clean water directly from the stream was pure magic.

In 2014 my family and I moved south because of my husband`s work. One thing is certain, there is an enormous difference in climate. The seasons are lovely and the sun actually shines in the winter which is a big bonus for me. Three months of darkness is tough.
I have become so fascinated with harvesting what I can from the nature. The wild blueberries are packed with antioxidants, so sweet and delicious. I eat lingon berries by the handfulls. My library of books of edible plants in Norway is growing and I am researching medicinal plants. There is a growing interest for picking from the wild and I will definitely share more of what I have learned in the future. Right now it is mushroom season, and I stick to the ones I know are safe.
I know this nature is not available to everyone across the globe.
I hope you are able to lean back and put your feet up. Cast this video to your TV and enjoy. Let me bring the nature to you.

Much love from me to you. Have a wonderful day!
