My mom visits India for the first time - finally meeting my husband's parents in Jaipur

My mom finally reaches India! We've been trying to schedule her visit for the past two years now but due to the pandemic restrictions and other issues it's been getting postponed. She took a direct Finnair flight from Helsinki and landed in Delhi early morning. This was her first visit to India and she was obviously overwhelmed. Right after she landed we took a cab to Jaipur to meet my husband's parents. It was the peak of summer so we didn't want to spend too much time in Delhi. Not that the temperature in Jaipur was any better but the comfort of home always helps. Anyway, the trip for us started from Kerala and we had long layover at Bangalore where we went to what I think is the best lounge in India. It ended late night in Jaipur with Vinod's parents and his sister Sangeeta. My mom brought so many gifts from Finland. It was a wonderful meeting of two cultures :)

Congrats Johanna, you are the best trooper. Keeping both families happy and together. Not many daughter in laws do it. Annika has met her little cousin now and both are in same age group, it will be exciting watching them grow up together ❤️. Vinods mom must be having a ball of time with two grandchildren and house must be full of laughter and running to catch these little ones.

[@JohannaNorth]

Yes i hope we would get to meet Sangeeta and little baby yug often enough for him and Annika to get to play together and create memories 🥰

[@videosonlybycf]

You’re mom is so humble, genuine and generous. What a nice gift she brought! You’re in-laws will always have memories of receiving rye bread

[@elisabetta4478]

From nearly extreme north pole to the south one! From Lapponia to India! That's pretty overwhelming and euphoric at the same time for your mother. I was moved watching the sequence where you meet your mother for the first time in Indian soil. Take care you all. Your mother rock💪♥️

[@harishkasaudhan6765]

India lies at the Tropic of Cancer, not even equator. But yes its the south of Eurasia.

[@josephzacharias869]

Your daughter has the genes and culture of two if the strongest and most resourceful people in the world- the Jats of Haryana and the Nords of Finland !

[@brandispry576]

This vlog makes me so happy. How wonderful that both families are together. How sweet it was of your mom to get gifts for Vinod’s family. I love that Annika has a cousin💖💖💖

[@preethanair8349]

Also the innocence and good heartedness of each of your family members comes through in the Vlogs. Feel good vlogs indeed

Your mom seems so loving and respectful towards your in- laws in Jaipur with all her presents from Finland for her relatives. Can't get over Annika's smile and innocence. Loved the vlog.

[@vikrantphogat3097]

Anika is always happy kid. Whenever i saw her i feel i am watching my sis growing up again. It is very happy moment to see her.

[@sidsingh24]

I don't think it's wrong for her to bring the bread and crackers. A gift is a gift and will be cherished for the intent behind it regardless! It was her gift and her idea. That's the personal connection there! ❤️

[@jobenmenachem2269]

especially when the gifts are a good representative of the Finnish culture where she does belong to.

[@jo-annjones9202]

Happy to see your family's get together after couple of years. finally your mom made it there safely despite long hours of travel. Looking forward for more vlogs from u guys!

So nice to see mum in Jaipur with your in laws😍

[@nt9476]

Annika is like my mom, she’s all mine😂. That’s okay bringing all the Finnish gifts. In India gifts are normal when visiting families and I’m sure they love the thought.

[@JohannaNorth]

We gift family in Finland too if we dont see often 😊 but it’s just that bringing so much food that isn’t really going to be eaten/used is just so much waste 😄

[@nt9476]

@@JohannaNorth Don’t worry they’ll find some creative way to eat it. The one thing about Indians is we don’t like to waste so maybe put some chutney…

[@sally88tan]

My sister doesnt have an easy time getting leaves from work and when she does, she needs to prioritise her rest since her job is quite demanding, but so happy my mom finally got here! 😊

My regards.❤️ ❤️🥰

[@JohannaNorth]

Haha yes that's why she was carrying it like that, even with a mini lock on the zipper which we told her was actually useless but she still insisted using.... :D For all the advice she got from friends and family in finland, she was too stubborn to take our advice about India hahaha!

[@nichen6966]

Finally got to see the video of your Mom in India. I recall you had mentioned this about 2 months ago , but hadn’t seen her in your subsequent videos except for 1 or 2 of them and I figured she must have gone back. Anyway great to see her meeting up with Vinod’s family and Anika’s new little cousin. The Bangalore Lounge was really a great place to chill , was surprised how nice it seemed. As was the place in Jaipur where you all had Brunch. Your videos cover some really nice places in India in your Traveligues and gives good ideas for your viewers too. It would have been great if your sister Nina had accompanied your Mom. By , i am sure your Mom must have travelled back to Finland, hope she had a good time in India , especially the thawing , roasting heat of Rajasthan and Delhi at this time of the season. Probably she could have come during Dec, Jan. Anyway bye from Mangalore and the US 😊.

[@ritu7760]

Mummi is writing. Yes I was very tired when I came to Delhi airport on early Sunday morning. The visa control took a little time because of my papers. I was a little afraid what's going to happen me 😅 the Queuing before the conrol was very fast I think that Delhi airport was very easy to come to the country. It is easier than Helsinki- Vantaa airport Then the next excitement was where do I find Johanna and Vinod and Annika ? And the first person I found was Johanna. My weight disappeared one hundred kilos. 🤣 And then I felt it on my skin. I came to sauna a mask on my face. 😅 I was a smelting mummi standing in front of my dears and the reason had gone. Am I going to hug my dears or not ? I think that the slowest tourist came to India that morning 😄

[@nesamalarkandiah9348]

@@ritu7760 ohhh, it resonates with me on so many levels n how it must hv been for you dear Ritu. Coming into a totally new environment n the anxiety of getting thru the queues n onto your lovelies waiting on the other side. I too travel by myself to see my loved Ones in Ozland. Their immigration n customs r very meticulous.. been very fortunate, treated very well so far. Enjoy your stay! Catch up on future Johanna's vlogs. TCare n Stay safe 🙏🏻 ❤
