A day in our life in Finland - Midsummer traditions, a Thousand Lakes and Happiness (DAY 2)

[@redbaron007-e5p]

Stunning Finland - modern, clean, unpolluted, beautiful, quiet and green. Paradise! Little Annika absolutely is having a blast and blooming like the summer blossoms!

[@supz26]

She found her Prince in a populous country like India though , she had to come all the way to India to find her peace and happiness

[@jstep3427]

As always, top notch content and its awesome to see Finland through your lenses, Johanna. Words will surely fail to capture the beauty you all are surrounded by. Enjoy your time in Finland and thanks for taking us along through these post 😊

[@KhabriHindi]

Stunning Natural Beauty Of Finland. A big thank to people of Finland for preserving natural beauty.

[@gaurisingh3985]

It’s unreal just simply sooooo peaceful and surreal. I am definitely in love with Finland and cannot wait to visit some day. Johanna, your visuals, cinematography and narration just enhance the natural beauty of your magical country. Like I said before, it’s like therapy ❤

[@JohannaNorth]

Happy to hear that, more than anything i hope everyone gets good, calm, happy vibes from my videos! 😊 hope you get to visit Finland one day!

Definitely feeling the positive vibes 😇

[@RubyColin2]

I absolutely agree 🥰

[@kimac7965]

What a lovely idyllic holiday you are having. The peace , tranquility and also the beauty of Finland comes across in your video. Annika seems to be absolutely loving it and Vinod also seems to be blending in effortlessly into the Finnish Scene. Even Raimo seems to be more chilled this time as compared to one of your videos of your previous visit. In it you even had to reproach him for expressing some anti Russian views in Finnish.🤭

[@JohannaNorth]

We all really enjoyed our summer holiday in Finland! It’s lovely to make memories together in my country too 😊

Beautiful,Finland,as I remember in 1985 when I first come to Finland.😁

[@elisabetta4478]

Dear Johanna, Your midsummer videos in Finland are the absolute visiting card for the country. I was already fond of Norwegian midsummer. Now, I'm also fond of Finnish midsummer panoramic view. È come se, la natura fosse uscita da una fiaba ❤ Ogni paesaggio ha la sua caratteristica unica ed irripetibile. Annika is having quite fun, and so is Vinod. Raimo is physically strong to take you all by a rowing Canova to othe other end of the lake. I'm a nature and tranquil lover. Midsummer in Scandinavia seems to be ideal.

[@JohannaNorth]

Raimo is probably more fit than any of us 😅 he exercises every day. Hope you get to experience a nordic midsummer one day! It’s quite the experience no matter which country you’re in. Swedish midsummer traditions are really nice too!

[@aratinair1678]

It’s so lovely to see Annika, Vinod and you enjoying nature and company of family. There’s nothing better than the outdoors to energise oneself. The blue skies, the crisp air, sound of birds chirping, gurgling streams…….nothing can be better than this ❤

[@JohannaNorth]

Yes, being able to spend so much time outdoors throughout all the seasons is pretty vital for (my) mental health! We’re all very happy at least in our family when we get to do it as much as possible 😊

[@Helen78SouthAfrica]

The countryside’s looks so beautiful and peaceful sweetie 👋🌻👋🌻

[@leonaromany9075]

I love watching your videos. They are beautiful. Thank you for taking us with you and your family all the way to Finland. What a beautiful country you come from. It looks so peaceful and relaxing.

Excellent, amazing view of nature, your mid summer activities are so refreshing to watch, I just love it, we can't go now out of home because of heavy rain here(kolkata, india) so it's very much refreshing to watch your activities in between nature, Annika is very much enjoying this season of Finland, your road trip, lake view.… Just awesome and Annika's running behind the ducks, lovely ❤

[@shellydsouza8902]

Thank you for sharing your midsummer experiences with us. Watching Annika embrace her new environment, is endearing. It’s wonderful to see how adaptable she is, thanks to her parents! I also admire your love and respect for nature. Having short summers, Yu understand the importance of enjoying the few summer days. Those of us who don’t have many seasons, we often are disrespectful to our nature, slicing hills, and cutting trees and treating our water bodies like dust bins….. it’s a crime to say the least. When will we learn?

[@JohannaNorth]

Thankfully in Finland whatever the weather is it’s almost never harmful to health how Indian summer season can be. It’s easy to enjoy all the different seasons and nature when you’re able to feel comfortable outdoors throughout the whole day, and in your own home too. 😊

[@connycatlady7429]

Thank you for the nice video 😍. My grandparents were from the baltic states and my aunt was born in Finnland . I love the area. It's nice to see how happy you are there Johanna .

[@JohannaNorth]

I wish to explore the baltic region more one day too, though ive been to estonia and Latvia already 😊

[@connycatlady7429]

[@blairswanson44]

Thanks for the next chapter Johanna. I lucked onto it just before bedtime & it prepped me for sweet dreams of the lake & all it's pleasant fragrances & sensations it provides. It's part of who I am as well. Annika will have many wonderful memories of all this as she looks back down the road. 💋❤.

[@JohannaNorth]

Wishing you a happy, calm Sunday once you wake up! Maybe all of us in the northern hemisphere share the love and heritage of this type of scenery 😊

Beautiful family oriented culture and a tradition of raising children close to nature. Finns have some of the best early education for children, even better than Singapore! Please do a video on cost of a family to stay in Air BnB type arrangements there, car rentals etc! We are from India but live in US and would love to take my boy for a month of summer in Finland.

Ihanasti kuvasit suomalaista järvielämää ja juhannuksen viettoa! Melkein Suomi-ikävä tulee näitä katsellessa. 😍 Toista olisi ehkä loskaisessa syyssäässä…😂 Mun mies on myös sanonut samaa, että Intia on kauniimpi, kun on vuoristoa jne., Suomi on niin tasainen. Mutta osaa arvostaa rauhallista elämäntyyliä varsinkin mökillä.

[@JohannaNorth]

Joo Vinod arvostaa myös eniten sitä hiljaista, rauhallista ja varsin puhdasta luontoa, ja kuinka se on niin lähellä kaikkialla! Mutta kyllä nyt kesän reissujen jälkeen ymmärtää myös sitä Suomen kauneutta enemmän, kun ei Intiassa taas ole tällaisia järvi-, meri- ja saaristomaisemia! Joskus pitää tottakai päästä myös tuntureille syksyllä ja talvella, niin ehkä sitten vielä tajuaa, että voi olla kaunista ilman korkeita vuoriakin :'D

Finland I was told is a very beautiful country in summer and rather cold otherwise. . Wonder whether Finland had any colonies in other parts of the world - like so many other European countries

[@JohannaNorth]

Winters are of course cold, but beautiful in their own way too with all the snow and ice. Finland has been ruled by other countries, it hasn’t been the ruler. Except for an issue with our Sami minority.

[@monikakumari9507]

Nic vlog❤

[@Praveen1991917]

Now you live in Mumbai, I am sure you definitely miss this environment and surroundings. Vinod got used to Indian environment so obviously it's a different feeling for him.

[@JohannaNorth]

Well Vinod doesnt like noise and crowds either (maybe because his first home was a rural village?), but he’s of course able to deal with it better than me since he has a lifetime of experience 😅 but I’m learning to WORK for my inner peace too, maybe that’s why meditation and yoga are so big in India! They help drown out the outside noise 😊

[@mehroseemehrosee3887]

Finland is close to the north pole, which explains it's beauty. But I think the key reason for something magical is less population. The world needs less humans and India especially can do great with a lot less.

[@JohannaNorth]

I think there are moments where crowds can become magical too, when thousands of people gather and coexist peacefully in harmony and unison. One of the most beautiful experiences in my life was when Finland won the world championship in our most valued sport after a very long wait and all the people gathered out in the streets to celebrate and there was absolutely no hatred, violence or discrimination visible but complete strangers were highfiving and hugging each other in all happiness 🥰 sports has a beautiful way of bringing people together
