Life’s Amazing — Q’s Greenland!

Whenever my life gets complicated I consider that moving to a country like Greenland would be the ideal solution. Then suddenly, one night whilst scrolling YouTube shorts this amazing woman appeared with 100 days of Greenland.

I wanted to tell you all the details about Greenland as I learned them, but Q does it so well!

I wanted to tell you that Greenland has only 56,000 people the capital is called Nuuk. Greenland is an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark with its own official language and covers an area of over 2.166 million km square (Source: Wikipedia). But I think it is much more fun if Q tells you more!

100 days of Greenland.

Qupanuk (Q), was born in Igaliku and raised in Greenland. Q has travelled all over the world and realized that “people around the world don’t know much about Greenland.” So, Q started to create video shorts on YouTube.

Greenland has an amazing history and the people are, as Q puts it, AMAZING.

Q’s videos will give you a good insight into what Greenland is really about. These videos are fun, and informative and create a great connection with a person who loves her life.

Q shows you in her 100 days in Greenland, how much it costs to shop in Greenland or to go to a cafe. She talks about the population, the diet, the geographical region, the temperature, the landscape, the people, her family, and the lifestyle of Greenlandic people.

She will even take you for a run in Nuuk.

Q’s favourite and sign off statement for her videos is

“Life is AMAZING!”

Q has attracted an amazing following on her YouTube channel with over 1 million views!

Q — You are AMAZING!
