My Life During an Intense and Short Nordic Summer

Hello, you beautiful souls 💙
This video is all about summer though at least here in the North it's way over already. But I filmed a lot during it and want to share what it is like living here during this magical, intense time of the year.
All the best, and see you very soon 🥰

Hi Sanna. Love the strawberries 🍓, Google recipes 😋 You both work so well together ❤. I crochet, i also want to learn to knit like you.😊 Happy days, happy faces. 😊 from Port ELIZABETH, Summerstrand, Gqeberha. South Africa 🇿🇦.

[@roxyfloresluna7180]

I like that you show the hard work that goes into living in such beautiful terrain.

[@GaryMulcrone-gl9ct]

Dear Sanna, Just loved your video. You have worked so hard building your new studio. So much work. It looks beautiful. Love it when you have your music as a background. Is your singing and music on Spotify or anything else? You have a beautiful voice. Love your wonderful dogs so sweet! Your videos are so calming and you are so natural behind the camera. Thank you for bringing your beautiful home into our homes. 😊❄️❤️🇫🇮

[@r.e.4640]

Fall and winter are the very best seasons!!!🙂👍

[@sannavaara]

You have a soulmate right here with that 😍

Thank you very much for your calmness and love to nature!)

[@drobbins678]

Great job on renovating the old building into a studio, it looks nice. And thank you for sharing the images of the beautiful landscape scenery of that part of northern Finland.

[@UteHeggenTranswidowHeals]

I adore the North. My great grandfather and great grandmother were both born in Utsira, the western-most island of Norway, in late 1880s. Half of the community immigrated to Canada when they were youngsters. The island had 900 inhabitants, now much less. The women were the government way back, because the men were all out on the fishing boats. I also knit.

[@tomday5161]

They are wonderful dehydrated.

[@MoniquefromTheNetherlands]

So lovely that you are showing your summer with us. 💖 Thank You. I always enjoy your videos/vlogs so much What a job you have done with the studio and how beautiful the studio turned out. 😍

[@sannavaara]

Thank you ❤❤

[@DoItNowJourney]

Just came upon your channel, now i am hooked on your videos. Beautiful !

[@MariaCCruz-tj4gp]

You are so lucky to have found that place to where you feel rooted! Take your very most of it! It is alawys a pleasure to watch your videos!

[@shahlahemmati6984]

You can slice the strawberries and dry them in a low heat in oven or in the sun. They make a great snack! 🙂

[@LauraNiemond]

Stunning office!

[@ausflyer]

Magnificent... I cannot wait till I am back in Finland next month 🙂

[@sannavaara]

You come back at a good time, at fall ☺

[@ausflyer]

@@sannavaara This will be my 4th visit this past year. Spent Christmas in Helsinki, then back in Helsinki in February, enjoyed the midnight sun in Rovaniemi in June. Next month back to the Lapland area, then coming back in late December to do the Christmas markets in Helsinki, Tampere, then over to Tallinn... (as you probably can tell, I totally love Finland).

[@sannavaara]

@@ausflyer , wow, that can be called a true fan when you're visiting that many times! But that's awesome, why not move here already? 😉

[@ausflyer]

@@sannavaara maybe one day... If I did it would have to be somewhere isolated, and as North as possible.

[@devdroid9606]

The French make a liqueur from strawberries called Chambord. They often use the berries that are not so pretty but still edible.

[@sannavaara]

Uu, that sounds interesting. I'm not a big fan of liqueur but I imagine making your own must be a tasteful one 😍

[@sc7991]

Loved this video....thank you!

Wonderfull. Summer in the North is a beautifull. Greetings from Poland😊

Dear Sanna,ur have lovely heart with you.. actually I'm really happy to this video....nice video ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@sariepieterse6768]

Hello Sanna I am amazed at what you are doing and to learn of your life in the Nordic it amazes me ..your short summers and long cold winters and most of all how you love to be there .I live in South Africa where the sun shine all year round and our winters are not that cold. I realy love to watch your videos my best greetings to you and your husband.. keep well..Sarie...I am 71 so it is so nice to see how you work and do things all by yourself...

[@luisamancini7303]

Ho cominciato a seguire i tuoi video per caso.Devo dire che la tua scelta di vita è stata per me veramente ardita e ammiro molto il tuo coraggio. Alla mia età mi rendo conto di aver fatto tante scelte coraggiose,ma paragonate alla tua mi sembrano poche e piene di compromessi. Sei giovane e spero che il tuo compagno sia sempre al tuo fianco. Io non ho avuto questa fortuna. Amo la natura e ho scelto di vivere in campagna,anche a me la città mi porta molto stress.Ma non riesco a lasciare il mio lavoro perché mi piace.Ma grazie a te, farò un cambiamento..anche se molti me lo sconsigliano per comodità,se mi chiameranno a insegnare alle scuole superiori accetterò di iniziare tutto da capo. ora sono sempre un'insegnante,ma nella scuola del kindergarten. Spero di avere il coraggio di fare questo salto nel vuoto. Non so se leggerai il mio messaggio scritto in italiano,ma tuttavia mi sembrava opportuno scriverti per dirti grazie.Mi hai fatto riflettere e capire di seguire il mio cuore.A presto 🙏🏻

[@keeslaurijssens2082]

Hello Sanna, Since we discovered your videos on KZbin, we seem to be more relaxed. And realize that two old people in the Netherlands in the province of Zeeland have been made to think by you. Thank you very much for your special work. Kees and Ria Laurijssens

W💞w good skills❣reno's keepin' ya busy 🌄 thankfully restoring those you'll be snug as hibernating bugs in rug's in 🌧no☃time🌨😻thanx🎶

[@ambramariataormina6158]

Hello Sanna! It’s always great to see how you live your life up there in that wonderful farmhouse in the far north of Finland. I use to follow you on Instagram. Your photos and videos are just stunning, and this is the very first time I see you here on KZbin. I definitely believe that you live a beautiful life, absolutely the best life one could wish for, and that wild nature all around you is simply, truly amazing! The most beautiful I’ve ever seen. Atmospheres, silence and peace: it looks like a piece of heaven! I hope to come there one day, to see by my own eyes how God blessed Finland with a divine beauty. May you always live with all those blessings surrounding you, and giving you the peace within your soul. I send you hugs from the far south of Europe (Sicily). Here summers are usually long and hot!😊 Ambra

[@sannavaara]

What lovely words from you, thank you so much 🥰 I have friends living there, near Sicily and they tell me it's hot. It's hard to imagine, but I believe you have your advantages there. Like fresh fruits and vegetables growing, oh, those I envy 😍 I hope you can visit Finland one day, you are most than welcome here ❤

[@ambramariataormina6158]

Thank you so much, Sanna! 🤗🤗

[@trinityd4097]

Sanna hey, have you dried your abundance of fruit, berries, veggies like your teas. a dehydrator if you can get your hands on one may be easier. enjoy hearing your Finnish voice, as being a second generation I don't think we have carried on the accent the way my uncles and aunts had from their parents.

Beautiful

[@ericm6383]

Thank you so much for your videos 🤩 you are amazing! I am not sure how to say in english but for the strawberries maybe you can try the "lacto-fermentation" in glass jars, it's very cool for lots of vegetables and fruits, and you can keep it for winter 🙂 Greetings from France

[@mariaarefieva7117]

You can also put them in a blender, add a little sugar, and then freeze. It is so delicious!

[@TheresaLawrence-wx4mq]

I love that you keep the beautiful wood !! ❤ so many people paint it 😮

Really? I wouldn't ever paint that pretty wood 😬

Hi Sanna! Strawberry shortcake is a common American summer dessert. I'm sure you can find recipes online for different variations but the idea is a small shortcae or spongecake, a lot of cooked down strawberries piled over it, topped with whipped cream or even ice cream. Yummy!

[@maikenmilter4381]

Wow can't believe the amount of strawberries you got. How many plants do you have of them?

[@sannavaara]

I haven't counted 😁 And they do multiply on their own while I don't watch so they are going wild 😂

[@DJI1956]
