Life on a remote island in Northern Norway — slow living, woodstove cooking, and restoring our old farmhouse by hand.
We’re a family building a simple, creative life close to nature, shaped by Arctic seasons, winter storms, and quiet moments at home. Through film and music, I share a cinematic journal of life in the far north — following the rhythm of the seasons and finding beauty in the everyday.

On this final day of the year, we want to say THANK YOU! to everyone who supported us, followed our journey, and shared so many kind and positive comments. Your words mean a lot to us and motivate us to keep going.

Through our videos from northern Norway, we hope to share calmness and the beauty of the Arctic landscapes. We are grateful that so many of you choose to follow our story.

We look forward to the new year, hopefully with a big milestone ahead: moving into my own art studio, a long-held dream from where I will continue creating new videos and music.

We wish you all a beautiful, loving, and healthy New Year, and we hope you will stay with us in the year to come.

This past year also brought new music, including my EP “Northern Wind.” Thank you to everyone who listened and shared.

After a small break, we hope to be back soon with a new video.

Winter arrived early here in the far north of Norway.
In my new video, I’m sharing a quiet glimpse into our days — building, cooking on the woodstove, and welcoming the first snow of the season.
Life slows down as the light fades, and we do our best to follow the rhythm of nature.
Thank you for being here,
and for watching this new chapter with us.
See you in the next one. ❄️🤍

We started building our side cabin — finally!
A cozy little space for music, creativity, and family ❤️

Somewhere between the wind, the sea,
and the sound of hammering wood,
our little cabin began to take shape.

It’s been a slow and beautiful process —
building something small, together,
on this island at the edge of the Arctic.

The first part of the build is now live on YouTube 🎥

In case you’ve missed it, a new video is now live on my channel 🌿
It’s about our last summer days here in Northern Norway — building, foraging, family life, and the changing seasons.

Hope you’re all having a wonderful end of summer ✨

Hallo everyone ✨
We just came back from a lovely family visit in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 It was so nice to spend time with our dear ones and recharge a little.
I wanted to let you know that a new video will be a little delayed — but I’m back to filming now and will return as soon as possible with something new 🎥✨
Wishing you a beautiful spring, and hope to see you soon in another video from the north of Norway 🇳🇴

In the meantime, you can watch our last spring episode here:

💛 NEW VIDEO 💛

It’s Finally Here!
Spring is arriving in Northern Norway.

The snow is melting, the light is returning, and winter is fading.
We’re starting new projects around our home and barn on Andøya.
Swapping winter tires, sealing barn walls, clearing soil and branches—
every task brings us closer to our dream.
We cleaned out the basement and burned what couldn’t be used.
It felt like a fresh start.

With warmer days, we took trips to town, the beach, and the library.
We saw the first lambs of the season—
a beautiful sign of new life.
We also joined the island’s beach cleanup ahead of Norway’s National Day.
And finally, a milestone—our first day at 16°C.
Winter is truly behind us.

To end, my new single Northern Wind is now out—
completing the EP. I’m so excited to share it with you.

Lots of love from the North!

Carmijn

Feeling grateful ✨💛
Thank you for all the kind words, messages, and support after releasing Northern Wind last Friday.

Big thanks as well to the beautiful Spotify playlists that have picked it up. So special to see it placed among such inspiring music.

This song completes my EP and carries a personal story—written after moving north, it’s about finding stillness, freedom, and reconnecting with what matters.

✨Northern Wind – Out Now ✨

“Northern Wind is about answering the call of something deep and true—like the wild, untouched nature of Northern Norway that inspired it. It’s a song about reconnecting with what matters, finding freedom in silence, and following your inner voice. Written after moving north, it’s both a reflection and an invitation—to breathe, to feel, and to come home to yourself.”

With this release, Northern Wind completes my EP — and I couldn’t be more grateful.
