. when he is not looking santa enjoy spending time in nature, not on my side with a sense of coughing and summer time. he's walking in the forest. yeah. sometimes i go with my 5 best friends that old of you know the one with the thing. yeah. yeah. and sometimes we have, we have working with the, with the, with the l. nature as part of the magic of santa clauses. village a tool under rainbow, sledge, or writing with haskins a very popular with the tourist and of both standing right on the arctic circle at the village, which was 1st set up in the 1950s close to the town of little funny. things are getting more and more crowded around $300000.00 people, visit every year to make their christmas has extra special. never experience, something like that before a certain value is really nice. it's a guide and it was

a beautiful man. it's a little bit of magic for the everyday life. but flying hill sting and all those christmas presents are having an impact on finish, down and on the environment and the travel and tours and of course the desk. no question. of course it's produced as left of carbon dioxide, so many hotels here doing what they can to minimize the impact and make tourism here most sustainable you, honey, come in, runs with dell in town that use only due to him and, and it's the which comes from heat in the ground and has close to 0 emissions. those used only materials instead of new. it's also sustainable for in ecological, you cannot be and go away. do i think about the future if you only want to do this or some winter related business or anything that has to do with the new cherry?

if you room the nature, it's not going to be for a long time. you can do. you have to think about the future hotels here are applying for sustainability, certifications with the finished government, and i thought of a tourism cooperative that works together to reduce emissions. the others go, the extra step to take care of sign does trusted companions to rein. do a triple. nestle is a highlight for many doors, but the animals are particularly vulnerable to climate change and they cannot be kept in bonds. but i do need to be open all those grazing. this helps them and also the forest a heavy as degrees, the prune plants and help them regroup, healthier for independents reading the hood of the people. and then they are much more than just walking animals. this one is maybe the kindest randy of into the sustainable hotels now popular only with video viewed by indigenous people

outside the town. it helps the animals, the forest and also native communities. the saw me to keep the traditions we have about to in the reindeer. this morning's, we have a morning rain data so far and night. we have the old road of a desktop out also who is working in evening. so he does working in the morning. so then we can keep the, how the of these ranges and take care that rand desk and resting. also hello. when you're from rest is something that's sound does help us don't get right before christmas. especially those in charge of santos, post office house and letters from about 200 tons. please arrive to send that to us every year. posting the letter is compared to traveling suddenly a more logical option and the post office has seemed to cooperate. they tell us

what you read. santa claus on the letter and post it from anywhere in the world. it would end up here. christmas was a time of joy. and this finish down is working to keep it that way. santa is on board to see if you take care of the nature the nature will take care of you. and then also if you take care of the other people, the other people will take care of you. and then you know, he disliked like having the, the, the christmas ceiling in your heart or making your way to an ideal like spot is not always easy. take these stone steps, for example, they lead to a very special place in the italian olds. people wanting to get to the tiny village of quite a bit. i must do it by foot. the stone adventure is not for everyone and it can be

exhausting. but residents like and then i was mid rollie don't have a choice. it's her daily life. she's one of the few people that still live in the village and she's not in favor of the construction of the road into court data. high above lake como lies cordero and isolated village up in the alps. only 9 people still live here. atlanta goose, middle ally, and her australia are the backbone of the small community. there are only 2 ways to get to the village. atlantic whose middle is preferred route, is a 2 hour hike from the valley on the shores of lake como. up 2600 steps. lot of i can get a car and go glad to stress that builds up when i'm down in the valley. mountains away as i climbed higher for the pickup, it's wonderful. when i get to cold air, i just feel so light. then there's the option to

helicopter it, costs around $300.00 euro is per flight, though. that's why it is only used when food or other goods need to be transported to the village for herself and the others for the for. so i bring stuff for alfonso for jay yano, let me something for everyone on the produce spread by sola. so i've been a since allow me a bit of everything, hopefully to in just to minutes it all lands and seen it could. there are 824 meters above sea level. there are no roads here. the inhabitants of this small village community are the last of their kind to live in the alps, the around and such isolation. dave is peace. know these goats are grazing somewhere up in the mountains. at 45, he's the youngest person here in cordero and is eager for change. your voice. i

went the road so that we can keep the village alive say so treating it like a magical landscape or a postcard. the 2nd time is not helpful. because living in such seclusion is anything but romantic, says peas, no. the only people who don't have to live here all the time, see it that way. utilities, people can wait for a tour, it sits paradise and thought i'd easily. but i see the village dying replacing morty. what is one supposed to do here? work is 110, and 10. if there was a road you could extract rocks to get how it would would depends. yeah, the size, if with what, how would things get into the valley? boesky like was on our shoulders like now we met the we both dollars because i i followed all more and yet debbie's plans to stay here with his goats because he loves the mountains. after the helicopter drops its load, atlanta must carry the food to her of the yeah, no road,

no other means of transportation. just heard back i thought the goal is to follow up on it is strenuous, but it's worth it to be supposed to because it also gives you so many fulfilling moments in the matter of given take on i go on to her of study. i'll be now in the center of the village and to our phones up in only the village elder has spent almost her entire life in cordero, around 600 people once lived here. phones has watched the village slowly die out. she's grown old with it. still planning on 15 grand, you know, i'm almost 95. i've never smoked in mine do the same thing, although i never eat food that to greasy. all the people on the phone that she hopes to see people return. so they live in

a single story. so that it would be nice if they built a road to hostile people fire. there's plenty of space up here by anybody could build more houses and then more people could live here. it's pretty. i'm ok, let's hope the road is built soon. whatever happens out of funds that wants to stay in her home village here far above lake como goose metal, it gets to work in the kitchen at bassetti. a peanut thanks to the friends of cordero association for restaurant is open all year round and is very popular. she believes that condemn as remoteness is what makes it attractive. why it's intent upon us, and it's not everyone takes the steep path up here in the mountains. those who come have a connection to the mountains and that's what i want on. yeah, they liked the fact that it's hard work to get up here. the phone, you have to earn it. we need it. that's what i like about it now. what can we do it? what's the can we've got you instead of just the villagers decide they want to road

built in last, i will respect that no boss, but it would no longer be the place for me. they both listen well, that's what i left. so far there are no plans for a road so could narrow will likely remain the village at the end of the world for a long time to come. i will now introduce you to get to marsh who calls herself biggie. she spends most of her life on the road. biggie is one of the very few female truck drivers in europe. hundreds of thousands of jo vacancies are open, possibly because it's a very tough job, but that's never worried. biggie. she's been a driver for 30 years, overcoming every challenge that comes her way. good morning. big crates, heavy for truck. it belongs to the company, but only she is allowed to drive it. but i get a marsh clocks in for the day. is packed in it all goes

for the next 5 days. biggie will drive, eat and sleep and the modest 5 square meters of the trucks. interior design. i just love it. it's yes, i can't really describe it as a showing for him. i just feel really good because so she's been driving for 30 years now. on today's 1st leg, biggie will drive the 1st 50 kilometers without a trailer on her way to work for us to pick up. she discovers that the access road is blocked. oh my god dammit, i have to go another way for the passes. got to stop or can i get through? i can get through. can i a it's a tight squeeze, but biggie knows her. eddie problem solved time for the next one.

is even though they're already unloading so i can't get to my trailer these trailers on the left. another on the right there was no getting through. this was that i have to turn around and back in through the warehouse. probably reversing through a warehouse full of obstacles is precision work, maneuvering slowly and precisely to join up with the trailer. today's load specialized industrial paint. yeah. good god, the good. it's like going to the gym. you said no no, it's time for a coffee. while the water boils take you takes care of the formalities,

your state just even global move on. so 7 o'clock, we were here before 7. so this is when we finish talking up. it saves everything for her employer on the on board adoption or what does it show back at headquarters is cut the bottom left, the company's junior manager, the truck's onboard computer. let's her see exactly where big into edu are at any time. not yet stuff. here you can see there was very heavy traffic last monday and had fun. she could only drive 4 kilometers and 50 minutes. so she was severely delayed for to go on and others kind of it, i'm of seen this. we can then react and figure out what to do next. as i'm so you can model to everything here. yeah, yes. in keeping track of everything is important for the haulage company. after all, they have 160 trucks out on the road, but they do have a shortage of drivers. cuts that they know goes through new applications with their parents. the junior manager is hoping to hire more female drivers, da da,

da da. as events investing, we should conflict to get the relationships are different than how much button. for example, if there are conflict, i've said, which will hopefully be rare. i've had women apologize for next day, walk home because they weren't in a good mood. it can happen. but i've never had that with man. so it's a different kind of relationship and drop anything, but both can do the job equally well. that's still only 3 of their $180.00 drivers are women. the boss thinks that's too few, they're both on the schedule, but we need more people in general lloyd. so we're glad for every person who joins us. i mean, most who enjoys that type. who sees the job is a vocation often stick right to their gender doesn't matter at all. and then just a specialist trinity got 50 kilometers away. biggest coffee break is over. it's time for her in eddie to hit the road once again. it's mostly mit, mit. absent taylor device,

you have to put your heart and soul into it or it doesn't work. no, i don't drive the truck out because i have to because i want to move. i must take eddie, for example, my truck. of course he's a truck but he's also my teammate and we work together. there's when he's in a bad way. i'm in a bad way. just like a partnership. i'm married to my truck, i'm in fine. if i had a partner who told me i should stop driving, i'd say no, i'm not quitting. get lost. driving is my life. is here on it, of course really big is love driving has cost her 2 marriages. that doesn't bother her, but she deeply regret not seeing her 2 daughters more is what's what you must tell . it was never there for them except by phone. i never held them in my arms and now she's moved closer to her daughters. she doesn't want to miss out on her grandchildren as well. but that doesn't mean she'll pull the brakes on her beloved

job for now, begin, daddy will continue traveling down the open road. the grubby and kristof are a couple dream of finding true love has become reality, which is not something that people with mental disabilities take for granted. that's because they often face unique challenges. for some, it's difficult to even go on a date without a can't take up. so if any of our tools from belgium once to change that, so she started a dating up for people with functional needs. her platform called might at least the helps users who are looking for a partner, and there's quite a lot of demand. i love you. i love you to know that. the reason it took me forever. this stuff in raw the are head over heels in love. both are in their mid thirties,

stuff employed in the workshop property helps out in the daycare center. it may not be immediately apparent how much of a challenge daily life can be for the to kristof and robbie have mental disabilities and live in different assisted living groups. they can take care of some things on their own, but need the presence of the caregiver to get through the day and to make meeting each other possible and been ok. we met at a dance event put on by mad, at least at all. so that's comp religious is evolved from a my caregiver told me, she'd found someone suitable for me books and that told me as soon as they met, they both knew they belong together. now they clicked right away. it will help the collect spark happened really fast on both sides. they found each

they've collected over 200 profiles. the mother lived the most negligent mother, least of people with intellectual disabilities. consent in the profile is by email or regular mail. it says, who can in the middle, i indicate what they're looking for and why they like to have a relationship. we kind of had the profiles and try to find someone who is a good match to zucker. on the reading. 32 year old, andrea has invited us to her assisted care facility or coating that i'd like to have a boyfriend to go out and have fun together with a vin and mac, and she values hospitality, highly, but doesn't receive many visitors from hopkins. and i can make nonsense hide to some fun. you think i'm there will be champagne. and some funny use the un convention on the rights of persons with disabilities, or just a free government to provide opportunities for persons with disabilities to enter into a relationship. even so people like entre are often marginalized motor lift is there

to help breakdown stigmas, and barriers to study conducted by the belgian institution for equality against discrimination showed that the majority of people with disabilities feel disadvantaged in the expression of their sexuality, their needs in this respect are rarely acknowledged by society, cynthia and peter have only recently found out about my belief to peter is happy to have the opportunity but isn't quite content with it. and the strain but mostly just it's nice to have met a lift up and, and it's doing good work. but and it's disappointing that we're not able to find the partners on the more common website sites. and then 2nd, a vendor. all they gave to me when i looked at my sister and her husband with house garden and dog space, i think i'd like to have that to connect to believe robbie and kristof seem to have found their great love without model ifta. it would hardly have been possible they
