VIDEO INTRO: So guys, it's Giulia here, your Italian friend living on Svalbard. Today we're going to do a lot of things together.
[...] And that's why I have this dirty outfit. And that's because we're going to clean this car. It really needs some cleaning. So stay here with me and I'll catch you in a bit.
2,400 people in Longyearbyen. 4 months of complete darkness. Temperatures dropping to -40°. Why would a 24 year old girl choose to move to one of the places some people call the most depressing islands in the world? Well, this is my story.
One of the most asked questions was why did you move to Svalbard? Why did you leave Italy, such a beautiful country, to move in the frozen lands of the Arctic of Svalbard?
So, I would like to take the chance of this video today and tell you why I made this decision. That was probably the biggest decision of my life that changed my whole life completely. And I had zero idea that all of this was going to happen.
It's time to start cleaning the car inside. I'm quite embarrassed to even show you what it's looking like inside right now. But don't worry, we're going to fix that.
It's easy to talk about this now because I already know how the story ends. But back then, I had no idea. I was making a decision that almost nobody around me agreed with and that made it difficult not to question myself. This is so satisfying.
So, first of all, when did I move to Spalbert? It was November 2022. So, yeah, almost four years ago. In November, it's going to be four years. And I was 24 years old....
