Family Travel Vlog: Brandnertal, Austria
Last fall we took a trip to Brandnertal Austria (in collaboration with Visit Vorarlberg, Visit Austria, and the Propel Conference) to see what the region of Brandnertal, Austria had to offer outside the insane alpine skiing they are known for during snow season. We found beautiful nature, great food, and lots of family-friendly adventure.

We wanted to get it set up so we could host friends and family as soon as possible. To be honest, the bones of this little house are very good. With a vaulted ceiling, hardwood floors and big windows, all we needed to...

    We brought salty licorice to the cousins in Northern Ireland. They thought we were trying to poison them! We said we would be happy to take it back, because we love it. They refused to hand it back, saying they would give their friends some, just to see them squirm.🤢

    7:02 I'd say that blaska is somewhat translatable to "doing something disgusting or unpleasant such as": Scaping up the leftover food bits from a dirty plate or the sink. (translated into "swenglish" Swed/english): Oh! are you "*blasking*" with that dirty old sink agian! (which means mentioned above)

    2:54 I'd say flitighet transale more in to something like "cleverness" "accuracy" or "efficiency". Although im not a swedish language expert, i am a swedish native speaker, I would use "flitighet" in that sence, but i'm just a swedish native, so what do I know...

    I was born in America. Im 86 percent Swedish. Im 99 percent Swedish at Christmas. Meaning traditions and food. Now add in that I’m 100 percent Christian. Out of total Curiosity why is the birth of Christ not even spoken of? Does Sweden acknowledge the birth of Christ? I know both countries are falling away from Christianity but I wasn’t sure your take was personal or country.

    I know this is really late but whatever. In my family we almost always start off the Christmas Eve with presents from our parents only under the tree in the morning , then at 3 pm we watch Kalle ankas jul either alone with just my parents and brother. Or it could be with our other family members such as our aunts, grandparents etc. Then while we’re watching we always eat fika, either soft ginger bread (mjuk pepparkaka), normal gingerbread cookies, Aladin chocolate, saft (don’t think there’s an English translation but basically strawberry juice), coffee and maybe some glögg as well. Then last but not least we all come together in the evening with our entire family (either the family from my moms side or dads side, we switch every year) to eat, open presents from our grandparents aunts etc, then some fika at the end. That fika usually is orange sallad, risalamalta, vanilla icecream and more. It depends.

    So let's see how Swedish I am (100 % as far as I know, but maybe I'm misinformed, who knows?): 1. Yes, I know what surströmming is, but I never ate it, but I live in southern Sweden and surströmming is more of a thing in northern Sweden, I think. Still one point. 2. I didn't dance around the midsummer pole since I was a kid, maybe 5 years old or something, but know the answer to the question. 3. I have never had flowers under my pillow, as far as I can remember, but again, one point since I knew the answer. 4. Yes, Astrid Lindgren, and I actually had a Pippi Longstocking wig when I was a kid, believe it or not, so one point to me. 5. Glögg and julmust. These days I don't drink any of them and I never liked glögg. One point for knowing the answer. 6. Vänern, of course. Another point to me. 7. Trelleborg. Yes, I was pretty sure about that one. Point to me. 8. June 6, of course. Couldn't fail that one even if I wanted to. 9. Viktoria. Or maybe Victoria, not sure which spelling she use. Now, after a quick web search, it seems like she spells it with a c. Still, the name of right and nobody asked for the correct spelling, so another point. 10. Malmö. Too easy for a native Swede. 11. A little more than ten million. I think it was over or at least close to tell million when the video was recorded, so I'm not sure why they thought it was only nine million. 12. I actually don't know, so I guessed. And I was wrong. I guessed 13 %. That sucks a little. 😁👍 13. I don't have a clue about this one, so I guessed 1980. I was first going to guess ”some time during the 1950’s” but there was no such option, so I thought that maybe it's a trick question or something, so I was wrong again. 14. No clue about this one, about the most common sweets in Sweden, so no points for me. 15. Most common names? I have no clue and I don't care. Zero points. 16. Most popular snaps, same thing there. Don't care. No points. Failed the last five questions, so 11/16. So maybe I'm not Swedish after all, then… 🤣
