Summer in Finland - Dreaming and Healing in Nature | NORDIC LIFE #12

Hello, you all 🥰

I'm back and I'm so happy about it. Summer has gone so past, it is always fast and furious here in the North 😁

In this video, I share what we've been up to this summer. How the amazing season of 24/7 of light and little has gone by with little, super annoying guests that we can never get used to 🙈

This ended up being a bit long, almost 30 minutes video, because I got excited about talking more about life in Finland, our customs, and a little about our mythology and history, too. So, take a good posture on a cozy sofa and enjoy this dip into summer in Finland ☺️

I'm a Finnish Canadian. All of my grandparents immigrated here in the 1920's. I was very fortunate to have visited Finland twice, when I was 5 and 11.
Your videos are so peaceful and relaxing. I long to return back to the country of my roots 🇫🇮 ❤.

I love reading about life in the North!

In 1989 I was hiking in Finland in july. I was there for 3 weeks because at the end of my hike I had an european
Archery competition in a place east of Helsinki. I started at Romanievie and use youth hostels. I had tyhe most wonderful hike up to the north Inari and had my sauna and swimm in the lake. I felt like I was the first living being of creation. There was nobody. The horizon and te sky were completely empty of anything a human could make or do. No airplane stripes, no church spires no houses. Just nature. Nature was so unique presenting a soft springy carpet to make walking like flying and the trees no higher than your knees you felt like a giant. It was warm at night 27 C and the sun always in the same place of aha coffee time. I could even go gold digging with a pan in te river and sleep in a wooden tny house with a fire. Putiing back wood the next day for my next guest. I felt I would like to live there for the rest of my life. My ancesters coming from somewhere there in the north must have wakened a few dna in me. On th way down back direction of the sportsevent I went into many other interesting nattute reserves near te Russian border. I could just walk acros if I wanted to, but no. I had my competition and arrive there on time. Finland is so so large. So once I took a train because on subdays you have no transportation an walking too far. Som km by lifting but that was not a big help as to teducing the distance. But finaly I ended up in Helsinki in the old Olympic housing which is now a hostel. And yes I wa son time for the internatinel competition which went well. I got some prize. The others of my group from Holland had taken my gear and bow. So I can r Finland, no matter which place it is all brautifull and interresting.

I feel so madly jealous and so blessed watching this, both at the same time 😂
Your beauty, calmness and the stunning magical landscapes of this area of Finland are like a total fairytale ♥️
How lucky you are to live here, indeed!
Nature has always drawn me very strongly but I never had the privilege to live so closely immersed in it.

Dear Saana, thank you for your wonderful videos. I like your channel very much. The countryside and nature are so amazing and beautiful in northern Finland. Many greetings from Germany, Andrea ❤

[ruthretzke]

Saana, thank you for your informative and beautiful videos to bring the wonders of Finland to the world. Our family hosted a couple of Finish exchange students years ago. We learned so much from them and so enjoyed their company. After a couple of years we were sad to see them go back home. We continue to hear from them and one day soon we are hoping to go to Finland, Sweden and Norway. Saana, be well and stay safe.

Sanna, your film was captivating. We are an Anglo Dutch couple living near Arnhem in a village called Oosterbeek in the Netherlands. We have two daughers in their late 20's called Sanna and Freya. Spiritually we possibly are very similar; I am a Sibelius freak, and it was certainly nature that inspired him. We love Scandanavian art, and have visited a beautiful art gallery in Skagen at the northern tip of Denmark. The vast areas of forest and tundra around you, must have been very influential in the formation of your character. You must be tolerant to be able to stand those mosquitos, although you say you will never get used to them. Good luck with the house hunting. There are housing shortages everywhere. Good Luck Brian...PS Great English. I presume you speak Finnish, but Swedish also?

[lovensons]

Simply Beautiful !!
Stunning..

I truly enjoy watching your videos.

Get some Citronella or lemon grass for the mosquitoes!!
