  • I lived in the most remote village in Greenland for 7 days in a 1950s traditional Greenlandic home while helping my friend Jon close down his luxury Arctic adventure camp. This village is one of the most isolated towns in the entire world and needs to be added to your top travel destinations list!!!

      Does living in Greenland cause comfort addiction because how peaceful it is? When you grow older do you thinks you will live in cities or places like this?

      Hi! Just wanted to say hello to a fellow OG... I started watching Erik when he'd only been doing it for about 6 months, I guess? Think he had ~5000 subs when I got in. I was a huge fan of his personal story telling in those early days, I remember thinking: phooph!, this guy is so gifted, and talented, and insightful- he'll go far in life! It's cool that after so many years, he's still a part of this platform, sharing different things, so we're able to keep up with him in some form. I personally vibed way more with his more intimate storytelling than the luxury real estate stuff, but it's always great every once in a while he'll give us something like this! I also feel like the older, original viewership is a kind of family. We share the same love of and camaraderie from those early videos. Take care, nice to see you here.

    I also live in a small village, not in Greenland though. I also love the peace and quite 2:17 in the video. Most of the time I wake up to complete silence, when in winter, it gets quite cold.There is complete silence for multiple hours, sometimes even multiple days no birds,nothing. My village has ~25 people living. The village size is roughly in a 1km radius (obviously not a perfect circle). The thing is other villages are close by (~2-3km's away) and are a lot bigger, where as here this is the last point of civilization, beyond, the conditions are too harsh. Incredible experience and video. Awesome job. ;)
