Christoffer 𝗫 Coffe Chat ☕️

Christoffer is joining us for today's coffee chat! He’s here to share updates about his adventure last week—his first trip to our off-grid cabin this winter season. We hope you enjoy the conversation! A quick heads-up about the audio: we're trying out a new mic, and it might take a couple of tries to get it just right. We hope it still sounds OK to listen to 🙏🏻🩵

Wishing you a...

December Morning 🎄

Our Christmas tree is finally up! It took a bit longer to arrive this year because of all the stormy weather, but it’s always worth the wait. This morning, I woke up to the most breathtaking sight—an aurora dancing over our cabin. I haven’t seen much of the northern lights so far, due to all the snowy, overcast days, so this felt extra special. It’s amazing how the sky can suddenly ligh...

November Wallpaper ☾

Happy November everyone! ⭐️

Snow has returned to Svalbard, transforming the landscape into a winter wonderland. We've been captivated by the stunning colors that fill the sky as the sun sinks lower each day, slowly fading further beyond the horizon. This time of year feels so special as we savor our last moments of daylight!

I hope you enjoy these wallpapers 😊🩵

New York Times Bestseller! ⭐️🥹

HOW CRAZY?! At 1am this morning I got an email from my editor with the subject line: ”CONGRATULATIONS”. My heart jumped a beat and I thought to myself: surely not…?! I opened the email and there it was ”Congratulations, Life on Svalbard is #15 on the New York Times Bestsellers List!” 😲😲😲!!

WE DID IT you guys! 🥹 . Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support...

Countdown 🌅

Today, the afternoon light was absolutely breathtaking. It’s hard to believe that by the end of this week, we’ll be witnessing our final sunset here on Svalbard. The thought feels surreal, knowing that soon the sun will disappear below the horizon for months, leaving us in the soft glow of the polar night.

Even though it happens every year, it always manages to take me by surprise. On...

Publication Day is Here! 📚

I hope you enjoy it just as much as Grim loves seeing himself featured on the pages! 🩵

Eight years ago, when I first moved to Svalbard, I neve...

October Views 💖

Just look at how stunning this afternoon was—snow-covered Svalbard mountains, a pink sky, and the deep blue ocean. Pure Arctic magic! Each day gets shorter as we feel the shifting seasons. The air grows colder, and night creeps in earlier and earlier. It won’t be long now until we say goodbye to the sun for a while 💖 Embracing the Arctic twilight as we edge closer to the polar night. �...

OCTOBER 𝑥 WALLPAPER

We woke up to a winter wonderland today—so much snow! It feels like autumn barely lasted a week this year, haha! But with the first snow, you never know if it will stick around, so we'll see how long we get to enjoy this beautiful, snowy landscape!

I hope you will enjoy October's wallpapers! I wanted them to capture both the chilly, Arctic world outside and the cozy warmth that this sea...

Hello September ✨ Wallpaper

After four long months, the sun has finally set again on Svalbard, and I can't even begin to describe how magical it was to witness. Watching the sunset for the first time in months felt like greeting an old friend, bringing back the most stunning and colourful skies. Grim and I spent a long time outside, captivated by the beauty unfolding above us. We watched as the sky transformed into a vibr...

August Morning Coffee Chat X Svalbard

Heeelllooooo!

We are back home on Svalbard and were greeted this morning by a huuuge pod of beluga whales! 😍 So of course I had to bring you guys and my coffee outside to enjoy the moment 🩵 I also show you some of the things we purchased on the mainland as well as all my new books! (Sorry about me touching my hair 200 times at the end of the video, it felt SO short after I cut it �...

AUGUST x Wallpaper ✨

Happy August, everyone!

How has your summer been so far? ☀️ We are still enjoying the Scandinavian summer on the mainland, but soon we’ll be making our way back to the arctic island we call home.

I’m really looking forward to it because August is such a beautiful month on Svalbard. The tundra starts to take on its orange hue, and the fjord will be teeming with whales, either...

Grim had surgery! 🐕

Hiiii everyone! 🩵

I just wanted to jump in here and give you a Grim update! Our little boy had surgery recently to remove a growth from just below his lil butthole. I found it last year after just looking him over (highly recommend doing that every now and then if you have an animal) and we initially did tests to determine if it was malignant or not. The test showed it to be benign whi...

Q&A with my mom? 🇸🇪

My trip to Sweden wasn’t planned very long before hand (just like 3 days haha) because we didn’t really know when the baby was gonna come out. So for this Sunday video I thought we could do a Q&A / day in the life with my mom here in Sweden? ☀️ What do you think? 😊

Feel free to ask questions here in the comments and I will sit down with her to film 🥳
