Alone in the Nordic Wilderness

Hello, you ❤️
In this video I take you into the wilderness of northern Finland. Welcome along ❤️
*
I'm a nature lover and creative soul living far North of Finland. I live in a remote village, in an old farmhouse, travel in the North, and seek inspiration in the wild nature around me.
I create photographs, videos, and music, inspired by this Nordic nature and its magic.
Welcome to my world 💛

Your part of Finland is soooo beautiful. Your videos have this calming effect on me as it is speaks solitude with nature which I long to have in life. I am a grandmom of three active kids to a son who all live in our compound. I would have wanted peace and quiet in my home but I also love to listen to the boisterous giggles and laughter of the three. Guess I just can't have both worlds in reality but I can see your vids and tag along with your solitude. Thank you so much.

Beautiful!! We all need space now and then. ❤ Thanks for sharing with us! Creator God Almighty is always with us! Reminding us of His love and Presence

[@athollmcnicoll1028]

Everyone needs an escape from time to time to recharge the internal batteries that keep us as humans alive , so well done Sanna.

[@sannavaara]

Yes, excactly 🥰

[@TheFlyingstop]

Alive and free to do whatever you want when ever you want so relaxing.

[@sannavaara]

Yes, that's the reason I go anywhere ☺

[@MoniquefromTheNetherlands]

Thank you so much for having us on your trip. I enjoyed it so much. 💖 I can totally understand why you need your alone time. I am also an introvert and a highly sensitive person 😊

[@muzaffarteja]

I love the part when you say "My name is Sanna Vaara", only because we have similar name in Pakistani culture but pronunciation is totally diffirent. I am addicted to your videos. Keep it up. Great work.

[@sannavaara]

That's interesting! Maybe I have roots in Pakistan 😁 Thank you ❤

@@sannavaara you are very beautiful.

[@PM-gx2bp]

Aivan ihanaa. I’m still hoping to move back to Finland one day. Ikävöin Suomen kaunista hiljaista luontoa.

[@agirlnamedsaskia]

This was so peaceful and relaxing 😌🤍. I’m a huge introvert, and I 💯 get why you need alone time. What a beautiful place to take that time.. Finland is amazing 🤩 (even in the rain 🙂). Two things always worry me when hiking in my little corner of Canada: Bears (and other predators) and ticks (yuck 😫). Do you ever pack things like bear spray? And do you have to protect yourself from parasites? Maybe these are more problematic in Canada 🤷‍♀️. If so, I’m moving to Finland 🤣. Thanks for sharing, Sanna 🤍

[@sannavaara]

Another introvert and a highly sensitive person here, too, so this is absolutely necessary for me to do every once in a while. I've about Canadian bears, but for some reason ours are more timid and always walk away from humans. You are lucky if you ever get a glance at them so no worries for them at all. And for ticks or other parasites, we don't have any of them this far north 😘

[@alinoor1228]

Oooo so good and so beautiful vidyo and soo good view My dream is live in this beautiful country

[@alexgetsridof]

What a nice and peaceful video! Hope you were able to find new energy in the wilderness!

[@sannavaara]

Yes! I was a totally new person when I drove home ☺

Courageous and brave person you are I wish you peace happiness and tranquility x

[@marjazadow2501]

Such beautiful scenery, we visited Lapland this past summer 2023 and I absolutely loved it, and seeing all the reindeer that were roaming was so special. Your video, was so peaceful to watch, Kiitos. ❤️🇨🇦

[@sannavaara]

Thank you so much ☺💙

[@ResonatingSweden]

Great video. Love the camp in the wilderness 🌲🌲🦌🦌

[@sannavaara]

It is funny how all camps become so cozy and feel like home even though they last a short time ☺

[@petras3637]

Wow! You are so amazing!😍 Greetings from Czech Republic.❤ We'll plan visit your country,because my older son loves this nature and he wants often to be alone with himself.And I try it also, it so inspired for me. Thank you for your beautiful videos and sharing of your stories. It's very nice for people from all parts of all world.❤

[@jwwi3255]

you are like a fairy who live in nordic wildness. I love all videos you posted

Love your videos!❤

[@chandrabalachandran761]

Wow what a great experience

[@bastiaanhagenaar]

Thanks Sanna! Great video! In 1 week I will have “my week alone in the wilderness” to recharge and connect again. This year Riksgränsen in Swedish Lapland (140km). I love it that you can not describe the feeling and urge of being 1 week off grid (but you are doing a great job 😉). Leave some cloudberry’s for me!

[@sannavaara]

Oh, wow. That must be an amazing place! 🥰 I w ish to do my wilderness trip to Swedish Lapland one day. Yes, there's plenty of cloudberries for you, too 😁

[@manzoorelahi5270]

Beautiful Video, you are so lucky. ❤❤❤

Absolute silence is liberating, I adore it

[@sannavaara]

I do, too. It is getting more and more rare in our modern world and that is scary 😥

Disfruto mucho tus vídeos. Los veo antes de dormir, me calman. Muchas gracias Sanna

I agree with you. In wild nature, in the absence of comfort, I feel that I am really alive.

Vackert. Hälsningar från Sverige

[@sannavaara]

Awww, thank you 🥰❤

[@rjd0429]

Northern Finland sure looks like the Upper Peninnsula of Michigan. I see why so many Finns immigrated to the UP. Beautiful land you live in. Thanks for your work from Southwest Lower Michigan.

[@cosmicwings7211]

I also need regulary an alone - only me time. Forest, lake, animals, mountains, the smell of trees, fire and food. Beautiful meditative video. Thank you for taking me along. I love the berries in scandinavia, when we were there for a holiday- I made jam out of it. We are living in Northern Italy right on a lake. It's fantastic quiet, just the sound of birds, and the waves. In the night a gorgeous starry sky. From here I send you love and best wishes. And also merry xmas.❤🎉🎉😊

[@chohanhussain]

You are a wonderful true nordic beauty. Lot of respect for you and thanks for sharing these great moments.

[@Legnerps]

The music in this ... and all your videos I've watched so far...are perfect accompaniments to them.

[@sannavaara]

Thank you ☺❤

[@rasmuspedersen418]

Thanks for the beautiful video. I envy the vast nature you have in Finland to go out in, here in Denmark there is not so much left.

[@sannavaara]

Your land is so much smaller, but I do understand that must be hard. You are always welcome to come hike and wander here, we have plenty of room for everyone 🥰

[@VladBurlutsky]

Greetings from NYC! Very interesting channel!

[@sannavaara]

Oh, wow, thank you 🥰❤

[@terryvirta311]

Dear one, thank you for the happy video.

[@sannavaara]

Thank you 🥰

[@valdkynd]

Beautiful, Sanna, thank you so much for taking us with you into the beautiful Finish wilderness. Sometimes we need to feel the elements all by ourselves to feel alive and to feel ourselves again. I can really relate to that and I've been longing to camp out somewhere all by myself for a long time, but my disabled husband needs me, so I can only stay away for half a day at a time. But a small hike up the moorlands can also help. Lots of love from England xx

[@sannavaara]

I'm sure you find the same elements in a smaller hike and feel relaxed and peaceful ☺ I wish to see the English moorlands someday, they must be magical! All the best to you and your husband ❤

[@valdkynd]

@@sannavaara Thank you so much, Sanna! I also hope to travel Scandinavia one day. ❤

[@lynnb_and_ky_springer_spaniel]

Beautiful scenery, I totally understand people wanting to be in their own company sometimes, you need it to breathe and be at one. I think you're very brave and I wish I could do that! What animals are around, apart from the reindeer up there? 🥰

[@romanitza5343]

😍

[@laurencejohnson4106]

A fine adventure and I liked the rocky landscape above the treeline!👍👍 I intended to visit Finland one summer, but since the war started in the Ukraine the price of flights from the UK., to Finland have more than doubled, so that visit won't be happening.

[@babliroy2418]

Hi I m from India .I like your video very much bt you sent your resent video.

[@janettehunter6479]

The sound of the water makes it feels cold. How are you finding your way? I love to get away camping here in Aus.

[@Mariskah83]

Im so happy to see another woman so much alike myself in so many ways. I live alone in an red old farmhouse in the mountains of Norway. I need to be alone alot so this suits me perfectly. I too howl when Im in the forest, and I too feel the most alive alone walking in nature. That is something I say to myself frequently, how alive nature makes you feel and that is truly what living is about. Im really looking forward to following you and watching you videos! Best wishes from Norway, and have a happy Christmas!

[@sannavaara]

Ah, that is always wonderful to find a kindred spirit. Welcome here, my neighbour friend ☺❤

I live next to a lake too. The trees are thick here. People love to camp here via tent trailer or RV. I pulled a trailer for three years to camp. I braid my hair.

[@martindohnal55]

It has become my favourite channel. Can I ask what camera and lens do you use? Kiitos

[@sannavaara]

Oh, thank you, that's so kind 🥰❤ I have a Canon R6 and most of times I use my RF 24-105mm, it's so versatile and I don't have to carry many lenses on my travels.

[@judithmickelson]

You're a woman after my own heart😊

What kind of wildlife can one encounter in that area? Elk, reindeer, moose, bears, beavers?

[@sannavaara]

Yes, that's about it. Wolves and wolverines, too. BUt you are lucky if you see those big predators. And a lot of birds. I did see an eagle really close. That was magnificant 😍

Aah, that's one of the most beautiful places I've been in my life 😍😍

[@Apurion]

@@sannavaara Lappi is indeed one of the most beautiful place on earth 🥰

[@elishaloose382]

I wish I was like that but i'm the opposite. I can't handle being alone. I need to always be with someone. When I'm alone too long I get panic attacks. I wish I was okay with being alone because I know it's healthy.

[@sannavaara]

Take your time with it, and be gentle to yourself. We all are very different people ❤

[@AHB2112]

A lot of us need a combination of both, human interaction and solitude.

[@Legnerps]

You lie down in the brush (blueberries?) at the 10:25 mark. I guess you don't have ticks in Northern Finland? They're not too bad in Western Maine, but in southern and eastern you would not want to do this.

[@kathydoherty]

I thought the same thing! I'm in New Hampshire and we are loaded with ticks everywhere. I got itchy just watching her lie down!

[@robertstefan1090]

Where the moschito are ?😅

[@mickmchale1]

If you are on your own. Who is doing the filming?& i think ," What if you have an accident and you cannot contact anyone. ??
