After a few car adventures in Sweden, I decided to stay in Sweden ! I am now for 3 years in Sweden and I will never go back to the Netherlands ! Love the nature and the very nice people , I rent a very nice Swedish house and I am still in love with Sweden .....
I really admire you two for having the balls ;-) to really go for your dream life and putting yourselves into the public domain on youtube. That and your no-nonsense personalities. Love it.
We laughed so hard with Emily’s swim because she has the most fun laugh ever!!! Her avoid the water squats were hilarious! Poor AJ, glad he’s doing better! You two are just so much fun and represent a great fun and loving couple! 💜
I don't know where you are, but possibly in a recent flooded area that acts as a reservoir for hydroelectric power plants, and the stubs are in that case 100+ years old.
Have you tried citronella candles they are supposed to deter mosquitoes I have found Australianbody care Tea tree oil (shopping channel QVC) is a good natural antiseptic they do hand/body wash and small antiseptic bottle you can carry in the glove box or backpack sadly two 1ltr bottle's of body/handwash is £55 add £3.95 p&p but you don't need a lot , Lou where did you get your commando (originally designed by the military to be carried in a survival pack) saw I have been looking for a decent one for years now most fail apart first use. I agree with Summer not a great fan of children (that crying baby sounded as if it was in the van with you), Emily swimming was fun to watch take her too the opticians her comment I can't see the bottom was priceless the sad thing is I have found that thing's used to do when I was your age makes me nervous (not great at heights anymore). Does Emily share the driving on long trips or hunt for snacks and more snacks. With AJ and Summer how do you find a vet's when you don't know the area, the further north you go getting close to polar bear territory you are in Wolf and white tailed eagles (a lot bigger than Golden) territory already
We have managed to find some good things for them now 🙌🙌 yeah summer is not a fan for sure 😆 I don’t share the driving mainly due to I work whilst we are driving and Lou is an horrendous passenger who hates to not drive 🙈 Oh the vets thing purely Google and if we know we are going somewhere more remote that could potentially impact us then we look at that stuff before we get there 🙂
when i was younger me, my dad and his sister and her women went often to tännforsen since they lived just a few minutes away from it and still does, they live in a part called stalltjärnsstugan which is a pretty place as well. fun to see this through a youtube video since it isn't often people film this fantastic place. Much love from north sweden, you just earned a new subscriber
So so chuffed that we get a 2nd "fix" this week! Thanks guys! "Fu*k off" and " Get out of my boat" LOL !!! 😆 love it.....you're both great but team Lou here! She cracks me up! Hope AJ feels better soon. Sending smiles from Somerset to you both xxx
I came across your channel while searching for wildlife photography inspiration. You both are a credit to yourselves and humanity in general. I love your stories and it’s people like you both who drive a path for young women like my Granddaughter to be who they want to be.
Wonderful video. Nothing like the feeling of dread when you are woken up by your dog vomiting in the van in the middle of the night! And I do think Emily working and an important part of your joint income makes you much more normal than some of the vanlifers out there.
To avoid mosquitoes biting you is to eat food with a lot of garlic in it or do as I do, squeeze 6 cloves of garlic into a drinking glass and then pour in water and stir with a spoon and then sweep it all in. This should not be done on an empty stomach. In addition to the fact that mosquitoes do not bite, it prevents one from catching a cold or suffering from a stomach ailment. Then you have missed visiting the Kiruna mountains, as you drive after Norway the road from Kiruna up towards Narvik. This is a beautiful road to ride and is very popular with tourists. More and more people from the UK have discovered Kiruna and our mountain environment, here the sun never sets from mid-May to mid-July. We have something called midnight sun.
I sooo admire your lifestyle ..as a teenager in the late 70's I spent a lot of titie in Scandinavia being in the entertainment industry...never been back...but have my camper and am gonna go back next year..thank you both..you.have inspired me to do this xx
A small tip for you Ladies, mosqitoes and knits.. are the worst... but, in order to get the itching down quickly- take a soap-bar (needs to be hard, not the liquid one) lather it up with a small amount of water, rub it in on the bite and let it stay on and the itchy outchy will go away :)
Epic scenery! You guys are on top of your game with all the drone footage and those pictures are great! I love seeing your travels. Just got back from an 18 day trip to National Parks and I loved it. I am ready for more. Gotta find a job like Emily that I can work remote!
I have recently found your channel and can't seem to turn it off. You ladies are awesome! I love your loving banter towards one another. You keep me smiling and laughing. Your channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Going through all of your videos now. Louise, your photography is amazing!
Always feel good after watching one of your videos, pretty locations beautifully filmed. Then the finishing touches are the fun and affection you have for each other and your animals - perfect.
It was nice of you to be so considerate and loving of you to Emily when she needs to work and giving her time to time out before she can enjoy this trip with you. Both of you are so great especially in coming to supporting each other. ❤Bless you girls! Love watching your videos as always.
You two are so funny and I love watching your adventures, you make me smile. Hope AJ is feeling better, always a worry aren’t they? Look forward to next video xx
Awesome video!! Randomly came across this channel and I loved watching both of you. So happy to see other Brits enjoying Sweden. I am going to binge the rest of your journey right now and I know it will keep me smiling and laughing all evening. Cheers! :)
If you can get hold of some, citronella candles help as a insect repellent. Also you can actually get head/face nets (used a lot in my homeland Scotland) on line. It looks absoloutly stunning and perfect where you are on this video.
Very well filmed and just the right length of the clips and very good variety of the clips and the clips follow the story. The best filmed blog I've seen.
Mosquito hate Lavendel. Plant whit soil shoudn\t be transported over the boarder. But many places sell Lavendel plant and if you have 3 ore 6 plant around your samp will keep the musquito away. There are also small instrument that scare them. There are a lot of tix in the Scandinavian forest this year.
Summer the unsociable cat 🐈 same as ours, doesn't like children for the same reasons as summer. Thankyou for sharing the entirety of that swimming shoot with us......brilliant stuff.
Great water filter tip...hope buddy feeling better., fresh air is the best for exercising, constipation clears the mind, heals the soul...Sweden on my bucket list...happy travels
Well kids (I can say that cos I'm an old codger) that's another great video. Well done you two, love these vids. I was as impressed as you Lou by the cleanliness of the water in Sweden over 45 years ago when I visited, really pleased it's the same now. 🙂
Just love watching you girls you make me smile every time I watch your vids. Scenery is amazing and hopefully will be going myself in a couple of years. Enjoy Sweden 👍
Superb video construction, almost that you storyboard it in your head. Great. Then your talk to camera is so natural whether just Louise or the both of you. It’s a joy to travel vicariously with you both.
Love the video. You are both amazing. The photography is stunning. It feels like we are right there with you. Sweden is just beautiful. Except for the bugs. Hahahaha. Thank you for taking us along. Hugs and love. X
I am mostly housebound and I love travelling with you, you make the world come alive for me. Also just wanted to ask how can I get hold of one of your mugs? ❤️🤩
I lived half of my early life in Labrador. In the summer the mosquitoes and tiny black flies will eat you alive. We used Skin So Soft also. It worked very well. Other than the flies, it is beautiful there.❤
🇦🇺 I use a net over the face. Outback flies are numerous and sticky. Thank you for your efforts. You are both quite talented and natural. Worth watching.
Welcome to Sweden! The northern parts are very scenic and I recommend both my hometown Östersund with the mountains to the west as well as our "rival" town Sundsvall with "Höga kusten" along the coast going north :)
Awesome my mom always used the skin so soft on us for mosquitoes 🦟. Your the first in years that I’ve seen using it. Thank you 🙏🏼 for sharing. What a beautiful place.
Cold water is fab once you do it! I do hot /cold @ end of every days shower and that way you get used to it! A therapist told me years ago! I am 73 and if I can do it you can too! I am encouraging you that is all!
Our "mygg" (mosquitos) can be a serious annoyance - they do like to be in the same places we humans like. And it sucks! But, if you think they are bad, look out for the tiny black kind of "dots" that can be around in the same places. First you think they are nothing, but as they bite you soon, very soon, find out they are serious. We call them "svidknott" or something that translates into a long series of four letter words. I think they're mostly called no-see-ums in English.
We will be flying to Gothenburg in November and renting a van. We would be happy to hear about what to see and where to go :) we will be visiting for 5 days.
I gotten nostalgic.. I went 5 times to sweden, for two months each time, to pick up berries) And I had slept at similar looking spots on numerous occasions, but in a smaller cars=) Yes, its all about tranquility. And mosquitoes =) Sometimes they have burning sticks laying around at such cabins to keep the mosquitoes away) By the way, around this time of year starts the season for "hjutron" berries, little yellow ones. If I'm not mistaken, there's ten times more vitamin C in these berries compared to oranges. You can find them on "used-to-be swamps", or dry swamps, which are relatively safe to walk on) And there's a blueberries season in about a week or two. And then lingon(redberries), up until the end of September. And A LOT of moose. They often cross the road while you drive, usually its the mother-moose and a calf. And there's bears, never seen one, but once it was close to our car roaring, we only heard the roar(we were later told that it might have been the lost baby-bear calling for its mother). And I've spoken to many swedes who have themselves seen bears. I miss Sweden.. There's smth mysterious about its wild nature. Good people too.
Oh yeah I was looking into it the other day and was so surprised at the amount of bears there are here actually and now I freak myself out each time I take AJ out 🙈
@@campervibe (advice from sweds). If you meet a bear, Always face towards him, while slowly walking backwards. Good if you have a cap on your head so you can take it off and leave it for the bear to sniff while you retreat. Also talk to a bear while walking away, and while he sniffs your cap(if you don't have a cap, - take off any other piece of your clothing). And of course - don't try to run, bears are impressively good at running. Also, bears try to keep away from the noisy places with humans, so if you are out and about with your dog - its good if you make any kind of noise like whistling, talking and so on. As I said, I spent altogether almost a year out in swedish forests and wilderness picking berries, and only once I almost came close to meeting a bear. So the chances are less than 10% of meeting one. But there's one thing. The fact that I didn't see a bear doesnt mean they don't see you. I can say, and my friend also acknowledged this once, - that sometimes you get a weird feeling- like you are being watched over(when out and about). Its very strange feeling. I experienced it couple of times.
If you have Sawyer brand repellent in Europe, get the Sawyer 100. It’s 98% deet. The best part, you just put a few drops on in exposed areas. No need to spray all over or lather goopy cream all over. The mosquitoes will still swarm but they won’t land!
Well done Emily for swimming 👏👏👏 I just absolutely love you both you crack me up love your banter. You are so devoted to each other thank you for sharing your wonderful journey 😊
Ahhh soo glad you’ve got to Sweden (btw the mosquitos are everywhere! Apart from the cities we found) Also have you found the HUGE red wood ants yet? They would dwarf Emily! Ohh man this Vlog almost made me cry, I love Sweden so much, so good to see other people enjoying it too! Also must say Stockholm is worth a visit, even though it’s a bit touristy the old town and tbh most the city is beautiful and the boat tours are awesome! You get fika on some of them! Who doesn’t love cake and coffee?
As world travellers, some of the places we visited were like Sweden for mosquitoes. We always used Jungle Strength 100% Deet. Not always easy to find but we found it the most effective against all sorts of bitey insects. Wipes, spray and wrist and ankle bands are available. Don't know about animals.Fun interlude - our armed lady escort in Kenya was seriously frightened by O's deet wrist band. She thought O was a witch doctor because of the pattern in colour and shapes!! Great fun episode, as usual.
Another cheerful & funny video. Poor Aj I hope he's feeling better after his chicken & rice, bless him. Take Care & see you on the next adventure. Bloody mosquito's I hate them. Hugs UK
The most real, down to earth women ❤️ You have helped my partner and I take the plunge to buy a camper this year, we did it.. we’ve started to travel (starting small in the UK). I absolutely was not the camping type.. I am now. It’s my favourite thing to pack up, forget troubles, help my mental health and make memories. Thank you to you both (and Summer and AJ) for inspiring us to have a different view on life and get out into the REAL world. You have helped my head, thoughts and feelings. Massive love and thank you x
Have so enjoyed your Scandi trip and we are finding it very informative as we are planning several months in our motorhome in Norway and Sweden next year. Finishing off with time in Denmark to visit my husband’s family. Love the vibe and quality of your filming.
Can't tell you how helpful this video has been. Been sat here with our oen and paper making notes for planning our 7 weeks in Scandinavia with the kids this summer. Keep up the great work guys! ♥
Loving this trip with you two. Lou you are talented with the camera, drone, editing, and music. I love the vlogs so much. They get better and better❤️. The flow of each one is perfect. Lovely to see a couple enjoy each other so much!❤️. Emily is so fun and positive ❤️. Can’t wait for your next adventure.
After a few car adventures in Sweden, I decided to stay in Sweden ! I am now for 3 years in Sweden and I will never go back to the Netherlands ! Love the nature and the very nice people , I rent a very nice Swedish house and I am still in love with Sweden .....
🇸🇪
Norway and Sweden together have some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.
Totally agree 😀
Yes!❤
🇸🇪🇧🇻
Ja!
Happy that people come and respectfully enjoy our nature 🇸🇪🇳🇴
Swedes love watching positive videos from people visiting Sweden, its like catnip to cats. 😂
😆😆
HAHA bang on!
Nice to see a couple expressing their love for each other in such a natural way. Reckon there’s a lesson for us all. Take care legends❤️
😀😀😀
Mick - agreed!!!
I agree they are fabulous x
I agree too - you really are legends! x
New subscriber here enjoying your travels what is Emily’s job I’m intreged 😊
So peaceful this big lake in Sweden 😊
I really admire you two for having the balls ;-) to really go for your dream life and putting yourselves into the public domain on youtube. That and your no-nonsense personalities. Love it.
Aw thank you 😀
I can shut my mouth now - that was jaw droppingly good. What a find that was for you and such incredible footage, editing, etc. Perfect! 🤩🙌👌👍🚐
😆😀😀
Beautifully filmed. You have a natural artistic eye and great skill with the camera Louise! Warm hugs to you both xxx💕🌈🌱
We laughed so hard with Emily’s swim because she has the most fun laugh ever!!! Her avoid the water squats were hilarious! Poor AJ, glad he’s doing better! You two are just so much fun and represent a great fun and loving couple! 💜
He is so much better now
You need to get a brand deal with Thermacell moskito repeller.
That would make your videos 87% less mosquito svapping.
Emily refusing to swim cause it was too cold was made even funnier by the small children frolicking in the water behind her lol. 🤣🤣🤣
😆 children have no fears 😆😆
Seriously the funniest watch Emily in the water, I would be the same, can sympathise for sure 😂🤣😂🤣😂 and then the wasp on Lou 😅
I don't know where you are, but possibly in a recent flooded area that acts as a reservoir for hydroelectric power plants, and the stubs are in that case 100+ years old.
One of the funniest I've seen in a long time...Emily in the water😂😅
Absolutely love your channel, a firm favourite of ours. Really well edited. Informative, and fun. Enjoy Sweden and safe travels to you both :)

For next time in sweden there is a place called Ammarnäs. Its magical. Just be careful. ...bear and Wolf country
2 beautiful people show us the beauty of our own country, Thank you for reminding us !!
Sweden looks Amazing. Enjoy.
A small tip for you Ladies, mosqitoes and knits.. are the worst... but, in order to get the itching down quickly- take a soap-bar (needs to be hard, not the liquid one) lather it up with a small amount of water, rub it in on the bite and let it stay on and the itchy outchy will go away :)
Like that tip 😀

If there were "oscars" for RUclips, this would be the one I'd nominate for best video. Stunningly fun, beautiful, smile-causing, romp!
Aw thank you
Well done Emily for swimming 👏👏👏 I just absolutely love you both you crack me up love your banter. You are so devoted to each other thank you for sharing your wonderful journey 😊
😀😀
The best feel good channel ever! thanks guy’s🙏 safe travels🚐
Ahhh soo glad you’ve got to Sweden (btw the mosquitos are everywhere! Apart from the cities we found) Also have you found the HUGE red wood ants yet? They would dwarf Emily!
Ohh man this Vlog almost made me cry, I love Sweden so much, so good to see other people enjoying it too!
Also must say Stockholm is worth a visit, even though it’s a bit touristy the old town and tbh most the city is beautiful and the boat tours are awesome! You get fika on some of them! Who doesn’t love cake and coffee?
Yeah going to pop in there, few places I want to see and oh my god I swear one squared up to me the other day, they are massive
What a incredibly beautiful place. I wanna go so bad !
Love your videos ladies! My wife and I were in hysterics watching this vid and are totally inspired by your Nordic adventures!
😀😀
There is quite a good choice of bug repellent for dogs on amazon guys. Our greyhounds are much happier when out and about. Great videos. X
Just being you makes it for me. Thanks crew.
As world travellers, some of the places we visited were like Sweden for mosquitoes. We always used Jungle Strength 100% Deet. Not always easy to find but we found it the most effective against all sorts of bitey insects. Wipes, spray and wrist and ankle bands are available. Don't know about animals.Fun interlude - our armed lady escort in Kenya was seriously frightened by O's deet wrist band. She thought O was a witch doctor because of the pattern in colour and shapes!! Great fun episode, as usual.
Oh really that’s interesting
Another cheerful & funny video. Poor Aj I hope he's feeling better after his chicken & rice, bless him. Take Care & see you on the next adventure. Bloody mosquito's I hate them. Hugs UK
He is thanks Tina
Fantastic as always. You brighten our days. Stay safe. Hope AJ feels better soon and Summer gets a nice long walk. Xxx ❤
He is loads better thank you
Always enjoyable to watch.
The most real, down to earth women ❤️
You have helped my partner and I take the plunge to buy a camper this year, we did it.. we’ve started to travel (starting small in the UK). I absolutely was not the camping type.. I am now. It’s my favourite thing to pack up, forget troubles, help my mental health and make memories. Thank you to you both (and Summer and AJ) for inspiring us to have a different view on life and get out into the REAL world. You have helped my head, thoughts and feelings. Massive love and thank you x
That’s amazing and so glad that we did 😀😀
Glad to see you're enjoying the Swedish wilderness. I grew up in the forest and I will always feel at home in the forest.
Have so enjoyed your Scandi trip and we are finding it very informative as we are planning several months in our motorhome in Norway and Sweden next year. Finishing off with time in Denmark to visit my husband’s family. Love the vibe and quality of your filming.
That sounds lovely
Fantastic video guys, really enjoyed it. Hope AJ is feeling better. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
He is thanks
That first drone shot before u spoke, just told me all i need to know and that you girls got it right!!! Stunning once again
Can't tell you how helpful this video has been. Been sat here with our oen and paper making notes for planning our 7 weeks in Scandinavia with the kids this summer. Keep up the great work guys! ♥
Loving this trip with you two. Lou you are talented with the camera, drone, editing, and music. I love the vlogs so much. They get better and better❤️. The flow of each one is perfect.
Lovely to see a couple enjoy each other so much!❤️.
Emily is so fun and positive ❤️. Can’t wait for your next adventure.
Thanks Dawn 😀
Not had a lot to smile about since my wife passed in March but you two in the water had me in stitches xx
So sorry for your loss x
May memories comfort you as you adjust to the loss of your wife. Distraction from Lou and Emily help keep me sane, too.
Sorry to hear that Bob but glad we can give you a little distraction and put a smile on your face ❤️
What a beautiful place , look forward to the next video .
Emily getting in the water is the funniest thing I've seen in ages. Brilliant vlog as ever Louise. Best channel.
Was so cold 🥶
