Life in the Arctic North | Family, Building & Off-Grid Friends #55

Video Description

Life in the Arctic North — where family, nature, and building projects shape our everyday. In this video, we continue working on our small side house, laying the foundation for a new creative space. The days are filled with building, berry picking, and time outdoors with the children. We also welcome our new friends from Sweden — Talasbuan — who live off-grid and share a similar lifestyle. Together, we explore the coast, share meals, and work side by side, grateful for new connections and simple moments. Life here in Northern Norway is shaped by the wild nature, the changing seasons, and the joy of creating something slowly with our own hands. I hope this video brings you a little inspiration and a glimpse into our journey here in the North. 💛 Thank you for watching — and for being here with us. With love from the North.

Originally from the Netherlands, Carmijn moved to the North in the spring of 2022, seeking a deeper connection to nature and the inspiration it brings. Nestled between steep mountains and deep fjords, life in the Norwegian wilderness has inspired her to write new music, bringing fresh sounds that reflect the beauty and rawness of the Nordic landscapes. “As an artist, I’ve always dreamed of living in the heart of nature. For me, nature is magical—it heals, it frees, and it brings a sense of peace. Surrounded by steep mountains, endless ocean, and the icy Northern winds, I feel a deep sense of freedom. The ice-cold waters, the midnight sun, the stillness, the wilderness, and the wide Northern skies—these are the things that inspire me every day. The Northern lights, the fresh air, the untouched wilderness—they shape my music and my spirit. When I close my eyes, words and melodies come to me naturally." With a passion for both music and filmmaking, Carmijn shares her life in the Norwegian wilderness through her YouTube channel, documenting the challenges and inspiring experiences of living close to nature. Her music blends ambient pop/folk with cinematic elements, capturing the essence of the wild places that shape her. Red Leaf Hill’s upcoming EP, set for release in 2025, is a reflection of this two-year journey, combining storytelling with a soundscape that mirrors the beauty of the Nordic wilderness. #NorwegianFarm #NewSeason #FarmLife #BackToTheFarm #NatureVlog #RuralLife #FarmingJourney #CountryLiving #FarmAdventures
