Living Alone in Northern Norway Arctic Solitude & Rebuilding

People say the Arctic is empty. They are wrong. It is people who are empty. After 2025 taught me a brutal lesson about trust, betrayal, and the cost of loyalty, I made a choice. I left the noise of society to find the only thing that doesn't lie: The Arctic Winter.

In this video, I share my personal story of why I chose solitude in Northern Norway over a life surrounded by people who hide their true intentions. Living inside the Polar Circle isn't just about the Northern Lights or the snow, it's about finding an environment that is honest, raw, and real.

📍 Join me in the Arctic: If you want to experience this silence and honesty for yourself, I guide private tours here in Vesterålen.
