The natural progression from a bicycle touring channel to a home improvement channel... I'm HERE for it! All the best to both of you. Lots of love from Australia
Norwegian here. Some facts about the housing market in Norway: First of all, Bernardo is right: houses can be very cheap in rural Norway! He says he doesn’t know why, so let me try to explain. Norway is a large country geographically, with cities spread far apart. It’s becoming increasingly urbanized, meaning most people live in cities or nearby areas. For example, over 20% of the population lives in the capital, Oslo. As a result, housing prices in cities/bigger towns are much higher and comparable to other European cities. I’m guessing the house Bernardo bought is in the €70,000-€100,000 range - in Oslo, that would maybe get you a parking spot haha. Rural houses are cheap mainly due to a lack of people, jobs, and services such as schools, hospitals, shops and so on. Many Norwegians see these properties as vacation homes rather than permanent residences. They also often require significant renovation, and both materials and labor are expensive in Norway. So while buying one of these houses may look tempting on paper, it can be challenging to actually live there and make a living. That said, I hope Bernardo and his girlfriend make it work. Welcome to Norway!
Hei, Norge er jo ikke et stort land,men ett langstrakt land som f.eks. Italia hehe ;) Du beskriver huspriser og muligheter/hindringer som er det samme som i Sverige. Nord Sverige har enda billigere hus enn Norge,men ikke like fantastisk natur. Hilsen 25% svensk
The winter will be dark and cold, so get wood, stay inside, drink cocoa, read crime novels. Or write crime novels. Have a tablespoon of fish oil every morning. Sleep a lot. Because in the summer you will not sleep much, it is light all the time, very energizing. And eat blueberries, your house is in a blueberry field. And see if you find cloud berries, they are rare.
We used to go out with our parents in NE England to pick what we used to call them bilberries (blueberries now). I have some planted in my garden now for old times' sake although I only get about 10 of them a year.
When I was is Labrador, Canada I picked some cloudberries and made jam. My friend called them apik which i think is the Inuit word. In new foundland they called them "bakeapples"
@ojusrai I think they were friends but they naturally shifted to dating. They travelled a lot together from what it seems, so it was kinda bound to happen imo
As a Canadian who lives in the cold today with a snowstorm i encourage you to embrace each season including the cold.Winter is a time to slow down stay warm and plan Spring.Wouldnt change winter for anything…..Spent time in southern France and missed my Canadian winter.
My sister in law tried to buy this house! I sent her this video - and she had already seen it! Welcome to Norway! We are strange at first - but lovely at the end! Promise
The moment you arrived to your new house in Norway after driving all the way from Portugal carrying all your belongings in a van, I do not know exactly why, but I started crying and be so happy for you two that you are so powerfull and positive that you made this huge decision and turned an unpredictable illness into a new adveture. All the best for you from Germany.
We moved from the Netherlands to Portugal because i hate winter and snow. We were lucky to find a cheap house in the Algarve (with still lots to renovate) and never went back. Congrats on your beautiful house! ❤
Velkommen til Norge🇳🇴🥶 Houses are a lot cheaper in the north of Norway than where I live in Stavern, which is on the southern coast, but nature in north of Norway is spectacular. I hope you have the best of times and that you’ll get used to the darkness in the winter and midnight sun in the summer and all the harsh weather in between. Judging by the views around your house, the nature around you will always be beautiful, but perhaps never as beautiful as in May, when the whole of Norway comes back to life. I wish you all the best and remember, det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlige klær😅
can get cheap houses in southern Norway too... but with some catches. you really don't have to like people if you move to one of em because most of em would be in pretty remote locations. one very known place for very cheap houses is Gjøvdal, but that is half an hour drive north from Åmli (who quite frankly isn't a big town at all) on a very small sideroad with absurdly low maintenance and need another hour over the mountains to reach Fyresdal, that isn't any bigger than Åmli. and that is mostly a theme for most cheaper places down in the southern parts, they are way way way from the sea and fast 1 to 2 hours away from any major towns (not even cities by Norwegian standards).
Dueee, sjekk boligprisene i f.eks. Henningsvær 😅 Det er ikke så forbanna billig å bo her oppe heller. At man får kjøpt hus for en slikk og ingenting midt i gokk, er en helt annen sak. Faktisk er det ikke så ofte at slike hus dukker opp på markedet her lenger. Jeg skjønner forøvrig at det er forskjell på boligprisene i Stavern og Lofoten, meeen du overdriver litt med hvor billig det egentlig er her.
@pzurh Jeg har helt sikkert undervurdert boligprisene i Henningsvær. Det skulle ikke forundre meg om det ikke er så langt unna prisnivå i Stavern, slik verden har blitt😅
As someone from Northern Norway, I can say that the sheets on the extension walls are most likely asbestos. The roof appears to be steel or aluminum sheets, so I would assume the rest is fine.
For houses built or extended in the 50's, that's sometimes the case, but not always. It's wise to be cautious though. As the other fellow said, that extension is absolutely covered with asbestos-containing cladding. I live in a 50's house myself, and I have not yet seen any signs of asbestos. Usually, its in outside materials, or in places where fire hazards are, or on pipe and ductwork.
Buy a good mask and don't break the panels. Pack them in double-layer of plastic (thick plastic large bags) and then deliver to local recycling station. No issues
The white sheets on the extended part of the main house are most certainly asbestos. There are many good contractors in Norway who can do a full examination of your property and locate most, if not all, hazardous building materials. Likewise, there are contractors who will do the job of removing it. Asbestos removal contractors are approved by The Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority and every job is reported to the authourity. It is extremely strict in Norway. However, on your own property you are allowed to do a lot of this work yourself, though I'd advise you know what you are doing.
Congratulations on the new house, it is so cute! My daughter is in Norway now for one year and she is looking into a university there to work on her Masters. What an amazing country! I am sure you will be happy in your new home!! Enjoy the renovations!
Much love to you, Bernardo Bacalhau ❤ I’m from India and I’ve been following your journey for the last 4-5 years, ever since your time in India. Your travel films, cycle adventures, and storytelling have always inspired me deeply. From cycling across countries to building a new life and buying an old house in Norway - your journey as a nomad over the past 7 years is truly special. You don’t just travel, you tell stories that stay with people. Sending lots of love and respect from India 🇮🇳 Wishing you many more beautiful roads, meaningful stories, and unforgettable journeys ahead. Looking forward to all the amazing videos to come 🚲🌍✨
Finally bro bought his house , where it was meant to be and maybe this is the place that suits you best. Norway, the land of aurora . imagine you cycling this beautiful country in summer, WOW. I have been following you since 2024 , and that time was the toughest time for me no doubt and then I found your channel . your content along with some other creators content , changed my view of life, thank you. Now I guess I am stable in life and It also makes me super happy, that you are also doing great in your life and the fact that you bought a house in Norway , is also a great news for me, I am expecting a lot more cycling videos . Anyway best of luck and thank for being an inspiration at my toughest time. By the way, you and Joule, look great together . The first video of you and joule travelling Swiss alps was definitely a special one for me.
Wow ... these small plants are all wild blueberries! Let them grow and have a big harvest every summer! You can eat them raw, put them in your breakfast oats, bake cakes with them, make delicious jam and the healthiest juice to be able to keep yourself fit and healthy during long winters. Blueberries, especially the wild ones like you can find in skandinavia, are one of the few healthiest natural foods you can get in the northern hemisphere. They are packed with minerals and vitamins, precious micro nutritions and stuff that heals inflammation (good for your hands!) and even prevents cancer, arterial and heart desease. This blueberry field isn`t "empty space to be used, it is a blessing and a gift from nature. It is powerful medicine. 🙂
Congratulations on your new house! 😊 I recognized the place from your video - Lødingen! I live in the area, so it was extra fun to watch. Wishing you both the best in your new home🎉
you have always been on my watch list ever since I have subscribed to your channel. the life in Norway is what I am looking forward to, you have a great stay and make us see the world and also the opportunities to work remotely and live the life on the edge and never settle.
Wow, what an amazing surprise! So happy for you two and can't wait for the upcoming videos 🥳 A warm (haha) welcome to Scandinavia // A longtime viewer from Sweden 🇸🇪
Wow, what an amazing journey and even better story. ❤❤ You guys are true content creators and in my opinion the reason why RUclips exist. I really love your content and that the algorithm led me to your bike adventures in Asia. The warmth, the kindness, the humbleness really shines through. I truly wish you the best living in Norway and I also hope that your hands won’t limit your renovation ambition. You guys are doing what a majority of the Scandinavian want to do in reverse. You have now a new follower that’s very impressed by your story. Obrigado from Sweden. ❤
I've learned you never start redoing a house or lawn until you lived there after a year. Why tear a shed down if you haven't seen how it functions during all climate. Thats extra time and money possibly needlessly spent when you could redirect it to something more important.
Just found your channel, delighted for you both. Northern living's beautiful & full of surprisingly stirring gifts. Stark seasonal changes are awe-inspiring & bring appreciation for nature in her many glorious gowns. Quiet blessings will land themselves softly, one after another. From this remote snowy northern island, I know challenges slowly strengthen & deep roots will spread beneath your feet. Welcome😊
Bernardo, my congratulations! Hard to imagine the life difference between warm Portugal and one of the coldest places in Europe. Living 40 years in a country with winter lasts half a year I can say, that the further from cold, the better.
I just discovered your channel and look forward to following you as you acclimate to Norwegian life. I will be visiting northern Norway in September and look forward to experiencing a bit of Norway. Thank-you for sharing your lives with us. Janis from Oregon, USA.
Oh My God! I was in Norway last Dec. It's a beautiful country and the winter landscapes are breathtaking. I'm so happy for you. You can see the northern lights and document them for us. 😊 I hope you have wonderful years ahead in that house. Good luck! 👍
Hi welcome to Norway🇳🇴 , I just watched your Singapore adventure and the next video is this one. Quit amazing that you moved to Norway Lofoten is one of the greatest place in Norway enjoy Haukland
Those places are cheap because most Norwegians don't want to live in such rural and remote environments. Also the process of buying a house in Norway is very simple. Well done, hope you'll be happy there.
"Don't want" is not what I would say. Most Norwegians are not content creators but have "normal" jobs and need to live where there are work to be found. It might seem cheap but they probably will pay for it one way or the other 😄
@lasseolsen1217 plus if you dont know how to fix stuff around the house it costs a lot of money to do. And kind of looks like a weekend house, in which at least Norwegians can live in only 6 months per year.
There often is no well paying jobs nearby these houses for university grads. Fixing houses is extremely expensive, and these kind of houses often need millions of nok to be upgraded, at which point you have spent more than the finished product is worth. Banks know this and will not let you lend more enough to fix up these kind of places. They work best if you have "city money" and can work remotely. And you need to be fine with long, dark, cold winters, windy dangerous roads, and little big city amenities like cafe, theater, bakery, cinema or fine dining.
@lasseolsen1217you don’t have to be a content creator, just have a job that is possible to do remote. Which a lot of us have. Which I do. I think a lot of us Norwegians could move back to the districts if we wanted to, but it’s a big decision to take. For one it could mean selling the gold making apartment in a big city, and transform to a completely different lifestyle.
Love this. Hopefully the seller has told you the importance of insuring the house as well. Fires doesnt happen often in Norway, but you never know with the electric stuff and it sucks to loose it all, even though most of the things one looses in a fire is more sentimental value than actual exonomical value. I would also consider getting insurance for the dog, since veterinarian bills are really expensive in Norway. Love the view from the place you bought
There's rather strict laws for documentation on the state of the house, what's wrong with it and so on in Norway. That the seller have to include in the information.
Congrats with the house. Hope you will have a happy time there, and get used to the weather without too much trouble. Fresh snow in far below freezing temps, can be a really beautiful thing.
clocked it as northern norway the second i saw the clip of the house/surrounding landscape. the coldest darkest winters, but also the most magical summers! enjoy it!

There was quite a few houses sold in Vardø for under 200000kr (less than 20 000€).
Not a lot Norwegians that wanst to live in Finnmark.
same as in rural Canada :)
@bojantenja there are a lot of houses for that amount in eastern europe too, and it's not that cold like Norway and Sweden
70,000 or 100,000 euro is not cheap for such rural ! In Germany you can get it for the 1/3 price! 😮
No you do not maintain (mess with) the blueberry bushes. Just let them grow and you will have blueberries in august:)
The winter will be dark and cold, so get wood, stay inside, drink cocoa, read crime novels. Or write crime novels. Have a tablespoon of fish oil every morning. Sleep a lot. Because in the summer you will not sleep much, it is light all the time, very energizing. And eat blueberries, your house is in a blueberry field. And see if you find cloud berries, they are rare.
"Cloudbarries are rare"... I have a pretty large field of them within walking distance from my home XD
I also live above the arctic circle btw.
We used to go out with our parents in NE England to pick what we used to call them bilberries (blueberries now). I have some planted in my garden now for old times' sake although I only get about 10 of them a year.
When I was is Labrador, Canada I picked some cloudberries and made jam. My friend called them apik which i think is the Inuit word. In new foundland they called them "bakeapples"
Sounds quite depressing…I’ll stick with my beach…🏖️
Do NOT just stay inside! Get out every day to get the little daylight there is😊 And look forward to summer❤
Agora és um Bacalhau da Noruega.

now they're buying a house together, so cute
Is joule his friend ?
@ojusrai i have the same question, friend o girlfrend🤔
@ojusrai I think they were friends but they naturally shifted to dating. They travelled a lot together from what it seems, so it was kinda bound to happen imo
@ojusrai really dude? They bought a house together. What do you think?

Not so cold here in Northern parts by the coast , gulf stream effect ;) But inland you know
We need a renovation series now from you and Jule!
I swr it would be amazing..... Iv watched the van building video too many times its soo good such a wholesome guy building stuff
It's always a good day when Bernardo uploads a video.😊

Be careful and do some research about asbestos containing materials before renovating. These old houses are guaranteed to have some.
As someone from Northern Norway, I can say that the sheets on the extension walls are most likely asbestos.
The roof appears to be steel or aluminum sheets, so I would assume the rest is fine.
For houses built or extended in the 50's, that's sometimes the case, but not always. It's wise to be cautious though.

Hi welcome to Norway🇳🇴 , I just watched your Singapore adventure and the next video is this one. Quit amazing that you moved to Norway Lofoten is one of the greatest place in Norway enjoy Haukland
Congratulations on your new house 😊❤
You look so happy!!
If I see Bernardo in a thumbnail, I just blindly click on it and watching not moving an inch… And here we are in his new house🎉
100% True for me too..
This is so relatable
Great story!
Como é que foste aí parar? Caí neste video de paraquedas...😅 Em apenas 1 ano ja tens casa na Noruega?🤯 Fazes o que da vida? so youtube?
Great adventure with your cute doggie. Portugal is lovely but understand the need to venture out of the familiar.
I’d recommend to test for radon in your home since Norway has the highest amount in Europe.
Congarts dear friends!

@alanjackson99th in Norway does utilities services ( water, electricity, sewage..etc) available in those rural areas as well?
Beautiful! Congrats!
Love this. Hopefully the seller has told you the importance of insuring the house as well. Fires doesnt happen often in Norway, but you never know with the electric stuff and it sucks to loose it all, even though most of the things one looses in a fire is more sentimental value than actual exonomical value. I would also consider getting insurance for the dog, since veterinarian bills are really expensive in Norway.
Love the view from the place you bought
There's rather strict laws for documentation on the state of the house, what's wrong with it and so on in Norway. That the seller have to include in the information.
Finally now he can live his live peacefully at the best place.
Happy to see more videos are comming! 😊
But I still need more info! Hoe much did you buy it! What are you going to do there?!
What a marvelous and courageous step. So well-timed and provided.
Welcome to Northern Norway! We’re really glad to have you here, and I hope the winter hasn’t been too hard on you

Congrats with the house. Hope you will have a happy time there, and get used to the weather without too much trouble. Fresh snow in far below freezing temps, can be a really beautiful thing.
