Why I Live Alone in The Arctic… in a Van | The North My Dad Showed Me: Ancient Cabin & Heavy Rain

Episode 1 – 2026 Arctic Summer Tour Begins. After months of winter blizzards and delays, it’s finally time to head north again. Join me as I begin a brand-new solo van life journey through the secret heart of Norway, exploring old mountain cabins, breathtaking Norwegian landscapes, and peaceful off-grid locations. From heavy rain camping and quiet forest roads, through areas of old and ancient constructions and modern luxury cabins to cozy nights inside my tiny home on wheels, this is the beginning of another unforgettable Arctic Summer Tour. Many people ask why I choose to live alone in the Arctic… in a van. This journey is part of that answer. For me, it’s about freedom, simplicity, solitude, and waking up somewhere new every day with no schedule except the weather and the road ahead. Along the way, I revisit cabins from my childhood, travel deeper into Scandinavia’s wild landscapes, and experience the beauty of full-time van life in Norway during the short Arctic summer. Whether it’s the sound of heavy rain on the roof, remote mountain roads, or the peaceful silence of nature, these are the moments that remind me why I chose this life. If you’ve been waiting for the Arctic Summer Tour to return, welcome back. This is only Episode 1, and the adventure is just getting started. Thank you for watching and supporting these journeys.
