  • Two years ago I quit my job to become a full time content creator and I often show you what my days look like, so today you are going to hang out with my mountain man and boyfriend Christoffer and see what a day in his life looks like! While I do all the content creation myself which takes a lot of time, Christoffer takes care of everything else. I hope you enjoy this video and thank you for being here! 🧡☕️

    3 cloves of garlic,
    6dl chopped mushroom,
    salt and pepper,
    2tbs soy sauce,
    2tbs dijon mustard,
    2dl shredded cheddar,
    80-150g blue cheese,
    1.5dl panko/bread crumbs,

    Oh my word this was a soothing watch! The tone is so different from usual, but unexpectedly good. It reminds me of a high quality documentary that doesn't jump about or have loads of filler, but lets the story unfold naturally with all the pauses, gaps and quiet time. We might have to have one of these vids a few times a year please!

    Thank you so much Christoffer for letting us see how you live your life with Cecilia on Svalbard. I know it must have been hard to step out of your comfort zone since you prefer being behind the camera. You have such a calm demeanor and seem like a great partner to Cecilia. You guys are living your best lives! Also the hamburgers you cooked looked so delicious. Cecilia is so lucky having a man like you who loves to cook!

      Me too, but you do get acclimatised. I remember going to Cyprus in sweltering hot 30°C plus temperatures, in February/March, and seeing school children going to school muffled up in scarves and bobble hats! Even here in the UK, 12°C in spring seems a whole lot warmer than 12° just after the summer.

      Same here. Studied Swedish in school for 9 years but it’s been a long time so I’ve forgotten most of it. I usually understand Finnish Swedish the best but Christoffer speaks so clearly I don’t need the subtitles.
      Maybe it’s the fact that he’s living in a Norwegian-speaking area. It must make communicating a lot easier, speaking without a thick accent.
