Awwww, this is such a cute episode! I love the quiet, gentle, calm energy that you both have. It's fun to sit and knit while you are talking ❤ Happy Valentine's Day!
Thank you so much, Amy! Happy Valentine's Day to you too
Love your podcast, especially the bus trip chronicle. Would enjoy hearing more about your travels before Tromse and what studies are pursuing.
Thanks so much! The bus trip was such an experience but the silver lining was I got to make such a fun podcast episode out of it. We’ll definitely chat more about where we lived before Tromsø and what we’re studying in the next knit and chat!
I enjoyed knitting with you and Kevin! You have really done a lot of traveling! What is it about Norway that you enjoy more than the US?
Thank you, Gayle ☺️ There are definitely pros and cons of living in both places (and Kevin and I have different opinions on some of them) but that’s a great topic for a next knit and chat 😊
Love your Strikk & chats! You project such a calm and cosy energy. By the way, how did you two first meet?
Thank you so much! ❤️ We met at a party in college (almost 7 years ago now!) Don’t think either of us could’ve foreseen all of the moves and adventures we’d have afterwards ☺️
I have questions for next time!
1. What is your PhD in.
2. How did you two meet?
3. What is life like in Norway, food, culture, way of life?
4. What is most challenging about living in your town (can't spell it sorry).
Oohh we could talk for a while about those! Thanks for all the ideas ❤️
Very cute! Would you like to tell,what your day jobs are? And where did you first meet?
Thank you! We can definitely talk more about our day jobs and how we met on a future knit and chat - I’m a a PhD student and Kevin is a consultant and we met in undergrad ☺️
Does Norway supply you with Norwegian language lessons?
My university offered them, but I didn't really like the atmosphere and teaching techniques so I've been teaching myself (by consuming Norwegian media and Duolingo)
“We’re old now! 😂 you two are so cute! Fun episode! Samantha, have you thought about putting your location and hashtags on your videos so more people can find you? Lots of people are interested in things Arctic right now. ❄️🧶😊
Thank you Julianna! ❤️ That’s a good idea. We have been wanting to make more Tromsø-oriented videos too for fun (like the bus vlog and the yarn store tour) but didn’t think about adding our location on the videos
