Hey! Welcome to our story unfolding in the middle of the beautiful nature in the south of Sweden.
This is the beginning of an adventure hopefully evolving to our dream life working and living part time in our lovely cottage in Småland.
We hope you enjoy this first chapter! Sweden is welcoming us and you with wonderful spring weather and unbelievable sunrise!

Hmmm 2 single duvets instead of one double...I think that might be the answer to all my relationship problems!😁
Just discovered your channel...beautiful videography and content.
Haha 😂 Yeah, it’s genius 👍 Happy we could inspire ❤️
Thanks a bunch! We appreciate it.
Love,
Annie
Just stumbled across this video. Having spent all my summers up in the Stockholm archipelago (being half Swedish), this video really makes me long for those beautiful Swedish sceneries, and perhaps maybe one day get a cabin somewhere remote up in Sweden. Lovely video, and I am looking forward in following your journey. :) Greetings from Switzerland!
Hi Delina! Wauw, that’s so wonderful to hear. Thank you so much! We look forward to having you along, it’s so nice to share this with people, who appreciate these amazing surroundings.
Merry Christmas,
Annie
I am an old southern man from the USA and your channel made my Scandinavian DNA call to me. Thank you for such a wonderful, well-done. videography What an amazing life you are creating, be happy.
Wow, this warms our hearts! Thank you so much for sharing and letting us know.
Sending lots of love,
Annie

So glad I just found your channel. I’m OBSESSED with nature and cottages.
Amazing! Welcome aboard ✨

Kh. Annie
Virkelig smuk og inspirerende video blog 🥰
Tusind tak, Anja! Det betyder meget
Despite the Corona terror, i hope you will be happy in Sweden. Concerning nature, a dream country.
Thank you, it really is ❤️ We love it here!
Annie
I would also love to end up there! Especially in Dalarna. I was the first person in Africa to import 8 of your national tree Ornäs Bjork Betula 'dalecarlica' to South Africa in 1985-coincidenally the same year when it became your national tree-I was just 21yrs young.
Oh wauw! Thank you for sharing this story with us.
Sending all our best,
Annie & Julian
Lovely house your first cottage in Sweden. 🌲🌳🏡🌳🌲
Thank you so much, Mia! We're so glad you went back and watched our very first video
Vacker video, kramar från Borås
Tack so mycket!
Lovely Danish people. Stay well, stay safe !
Thank you, Lennart. You too!
Love, Annie
Just found your channel and from now on a subscriber🙂🙂.
It is so interesting (and encouraging) when young people decides to leave 'city life" relocating to a far away remote place, embarking "simple" life near to nature. What an adventure! Good luck with everything! 👍🙂❤️
Hey! Oh how great!! Welcome 😃
Yeah, it's amazing seeing people do it, and make it work! We were actually inspired by some other people who did it, and we could just feel, that this is for us too 🌲
We hope to continue being interesting and encouraging for you with all of our upcoming videos ☺
@@AnnieJulian I am also much inspired by Jonna Jinton & others :) One helpful factor though, is to have meaningful work (with some income) I think - otherwise it is difficult to maintain secluded lifestyle in long run especially when young, not only because of economy - but also mental side of it. That is why "now" is golden opportunity in history to achieve what you decided. Never before has it (technically & socially) been possible to live in a remote cottage deep in a forest while still being able to conduct work/business on-line "almost" as you would be sitting in an big office downtown. Due to Covid, companies embracing the concept of remote work more and more. This trend will continue also "after" Covid, since remote work can bring obvious advantages/possibilities for many. We live in turbulent times both in negative and positive way. The trick is to utilise the positive sides.... :) .. and YOU do it! :) Thumbs up!
@@LageB12 Exactly!! You are on point! Jonna was the one that inspired us, we watched her videos every day up until the the boarders between Denmark and Sweden opened up.
It was because of remote work being normalized, that Julian made it possible, not only for himself, but for everyone in his company to work from home some of the time. And we both have work, that is very meaningful to us, I think you're right about that too :) I am embracing the simple life, and want to grow vegetables and so on... But without my photography business and CZcams... I don't think I would do very good 😂 Just selling carrots.
Thanks for your comment! Where are you located in the world?
All the best,
Annie
@@AnnieJulian Oh, I (me & my wife) are not located in any exotic place as we are also living in Sweden, not so far from Stockholm. Since 2 years back living permanently on our cottage on an island in lake Malaren I like the footage in your videos - very beautiful. Keep them coming :)
In a cottage on an island in the lake? Sounds exotic to me! 😃 Thank you so much! Do you guys share your lifestyle anywhere?
Iiih, jeg glæder mig virkelig meget til at følge med på jeres rejse.
Så smukke billeder
Hvor er det fantastisk at høre, tusind tak!!
I like your smile. You smile all the time.
Haha, thank you 😄💕
😊👍👏💐😍
Wow! How did you buy this property?
Thank you, Talia. We tell the story in our video called: “Why we moved to Sweden to become filmmakers” 😊
Love, Annie
What part of Sweden did you guys relocate to? Looking for a safe family oriented town or village in Sweden 🇸🇪.
Hey Gigi, we are located in Älmuhult county in Småland. Where are you living now?
@@AnnieJulian Hi 👋 currently in NYC and looking to move by next summer. My child has EU citizenship and is under 18 so relocating is not an issue. It’s getting crazy here in the US. I want a good family oriented safe environment for my kid. Lovely videos by the way!
@@Gigi-rg7xy Okay! We are actually planning to renovate more houses in this area to people, who want to live here. I would love to have kids here one day. It’s so peaceful and adventureous! What is happening over there?
Thanks a lot! So happy you’re here ❤️
All my love,
Annie
Pretty much any town/city will be safe and family oriented in Sweden except the three biggest cities and their suburbs(Stockholm, Göteborg, Malmö).
hello everyone, thank you for thoese videos. What jobs are available there ? Tack Tack
Hello, thank you! I actually don't know what jobs are available here. We are both self employed :)
Love, Annie
@@AnnieJulian i didnt always l=follow you, how do you find income?
You are such a gentle and warm couple. It is a pleasure to watch you. Puss and Kram :)
@@schadzka1 Julian had an audiobook company in Denmark, and I am a portrait photographer. My income comes from taking people’s portraits, primarily branding.
What are your skills?
Love,
Annie
@@schadzka1 Thank you so much, that is so sweet!
Love,
Annie
Why not a cottage in Denmark so the drive is not so long?
Because Sweden has more big, open landscapes, wild nature 🌲☺️
Where in Sweden?
South, in Småland 😊
änna knökad bil:)
förlåt jag förstår inte 😅
Hälsningar Annie
@@AnnieJulian
Basically means overloaded car! Or "proppet bil" på danska (?). Är det rätt?
@@kallekarlsson1054 Ahh! Thanks, Kalle! Ja, det är rätt 😊🚗
Are you German or Danish?
Danish 😊
Hello sir , your video very nice , my name is Z . I am from Cambodia and I am Cambodian citizen , I am want to move to work in Sweden 🇸🇪, but I don’t know how to do it for Asia people, we want move and live in Sweden and work 🇸🇪, we love Sweden 🇸🇪,I think you have experience about how to move to Sweden 🇸🇪
It won't be so easy. You could check if it is possible to work with the annual Thai berry pickers in Finland. That way you could get a sense of the general feeling of a nordic country and earn a lump sum of money and repeat it again the following year. I have NO idea which agencies are reliable and how to get into it but I have watched a documentary about berry picking and that some Thai seasonal workers travel to Finland for 12 weeks a year. It's hard work and success NOT a guarantee. But it's the first thing that comes to mind to try and get a first opportunity.
Additionally the best way is always through educational scholarships, if you can use the internet to get excellent at a couple of subjects then you could try this route. Maybe you can get a scholarship to study abroad.
If you are an artist or photographer: you can try and get invited for art residencies and try to get a grant (check with Cambodia if you can access a grant that is set up to promote cultural relations. Otherwise keep looking. You might get lucky.)
If you are unskilled then it will be difficult.
If you ARE not education but can't make it to Europe look for opportunities through ASEAN conferences and events. My friend got invited to Laos for a women entrepreneurship conference. (She was an excellent guide at Angkor Historical Complex, she was involved in education in general and in community programs.)
What are you passionate about or good at? It might take you a few years but nothing is impossible and maybe you will just end up attending events and opportunities around ASEAN countries and that would be amazing.
It is hard to move into a completely different culture, try both: Nordic countries but also closer to your home.
Good luck.
p.s. asking people who are not from ASEAN for how to find opportunities in Europe will mostly not get you great results. Look for people from ASEAN countries who made a life abroad and follow their footsteps.
Your best chance is always to keep building your skills. Include research skills in this. (& improve your video thumbnails to make them more clickable.)
Wauw Birgit, thank you so much for this!
