Slow Life in the Countryside of Finland - A Day in My Life

[@sannavaara]

Ah, I've again sunk in your comments. I keep reading them over and over again. Thank you ❤❤ Your kindness, love and warmth is transmitted even through this screen of mine. I'm happy to hear there are s many of you who also enjoy a quiet, simple life. If not possible in the moment in your own life, you are on the way there. Maybe one day we are the majority, and the world could have more peace, silence and slow down its hectic rhythm? I hope so. Thank you for being here with me ❤

[@TheAbandonedAccount7]

if you find out a way to jar that silence, I'll be first in line! My soul is longing for scandinavia

[@teresamarks931]

Hello! I just happened upon your videos. You and Esa make a perfect couple! I really enjoy learning about your wonderful life. You are a treasure! Thank you for sharing! I'm a new subscriber and I live in Pennsylvania, USA. God Bless both of you!🙏🤗

I LOVE SIMPLE, UNCOMPLICATED LIFE. WE SHOULD LIVE THIS WAY

[@desh7120]

Not a small, boring life at all. Immensely rich and rewarding! You are in tune with what really matters.

[@td509]

There’s nothing small or boring about your life. I think it’s wonderful. It peaceful and satisfying to watch. When I was on social media I used to compare myself and my life to other peoples and it always made me feel so bad and I always thought I should be doing what everyone else is doing. But now that I’ve been off social media for the last 5 years I feel so much happier. I don’t compare myself anymore and I love my life. I realized I don’t have to be doing what everyone else is doing. I’m happy and satisfied doing my day to day chores and errands. I’m happy staying home and hanging out with my husband. I don’t need to go out and spend money to be happy. My favorite thing to do is cuddle with my husband and cat. We watch our favorite shows and movies. We cook yummy food together on the weekends. I love it so much. It makes me happy.

[@junewatts8809]

I feel exactly the same way! A blessed life looks different for everyone but social media would have you believe otherwise. I too have a simpler life and I feel extraordinarily lucky! x

[@gabygausmann5572]

Yes,that's it and that means real life.Often is "to have less is to have more"and you can't loose yourself too fast or maybe never at all in "one project after another" until you've lost the deep connection to what you really love most. Don't grow too fast, mainly bloom...

[@roberthilliard4833]

Many people have lost touch with the real world. I am so pleased that you have found the ingredients to a fulfilling life. Best wishes to you both.

[@gd78744]

I feel the same. This is bad. It's the evil of the century. It brings internal loneliness and depression. I'm fighting this.

We are all going to die,all of us what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities . We are eaten up by nothing Charles Bukowski American poet &Novelist.

[@jackiewheaton4199]

I used to be a kindergarten teacher. I'd come home and just want to be quiet. I live alone now and quiet is what I have! Sometimes I think it would be nice to have someone like Esa to share the quiet moments with. I knit and I read (and hike near the ocean, on trails, bike , kayak, skate a little, swim...) paint, watch the birds..and I think some people would think my life is boring. I don't care. Peaceful is what I love. And Sanna, I completely understand your yearning for a yarn store...you want to feel the yarn and see the real colors, right?

[@aemiliadelroba4022]

❤❤❤ I heard Finland 🇫🇮 is top country on peaceful places ( and happiest ) list . I agree .😊

[@ronlokk]

Your videos calm the mind and the soul. This is what the world needs now. All the best to you.

[@Americanpatriot7000]

Great channel. How do you get internet out there? Also, do you get cell reception?

[@CalderdaleKid]

You have a wonderful authentic, quality and rewarding life. Honestly, I think most people would rather have your life than having an urban, busy city life. You are so connected to the land and that’s what most people would want. ❤

[@jana_hajkova_cz]

I totally agree. 😊❤

[@portfoliolongo]

How lucky I was to have bumped into your lovely channel in early January just a week or so before my wife and I briefly visited your enchanted part of the world! Watching your beautiful videos, the old and new ones, helps to keep our wonderful memories from fading away. Thank you. One more thing. Over the years, among other things, I have taught English as a foreign language, and I must tell you that your artistic and poetic use of English as a storytelling medium makes me fall even further in love with it. However, your references to silence at the breakfast table and in forest reminds me of something the 13th century Persian Poet, Rumi wrote, that "silence is the language of God; everything else is a poor translation." Your older dog had the most to say about this. 8-)

[@kevinbeasley2302]

Very nicely expressed. Thanks for sharing the Rumi quote.

[@shahlahemmati6984]

I am glad to hear that being quiet is not rude or strange in Finland.

[@shahlahemmati6984]

You are so right! We have very little of silence in the world!

[@wendywalker35]

Love your videos. I am in North Dakota, USA. Our winters are very much like yours. Sometimes we have to give ourselves permission just to learn to “be” in our own homes. I am learning that a quiet and peaceful life is found in my own home. There is nothing “ out there” for me any more.

[@TheAbandonedAccount7]

Omg did I just find Finnish Jonna Jinton? Yess, cant wait to watch more of this channel!!

[@camillan7464]

That's what I just said to my daughter! They are different enough though. But in the beginning she sounds like Jonna!

[@turpasauna]

Jonna actually has Finnish roots so...😅

[@Hugo_Furst-x]

You might enjoy the videos from Cecelia Blomdahl, Leena Henningsen, Faery Soul, and Till Daling, also. They have a similar style, and are very inspiring too.

[@marienovotna4115]

Now I understand what it means when my mum said being home is adventure and every day is different.

[@Ulxshn7l]

Being home is adventure, wow! 🎉 Yes, I got this for being home more than 3 years. Adventure of questioning yourself every day, fighting with the mind and the present, enjoy nature, weather and the blissful opportunity to be at home ❤

[@marienovotna4115]

@Ulxshn7l I guess there needs to be Ballance

[@Eekyellie]

Your life is so lovely. My husband and I are very quiet people, which sometimes feels awkward in the UK. Watching you is like a little meditation. Thank you x

I'm half Norwegian and I'm also not a chatty person. I live in the mountains of northern New Mexico US; I'm a skier and a knitter - I'm jealous of your stash of yarn at 12:07! I love this video - I will watch it again later. It's all the things I enjoy I life. Thank you!

[@beeintheclover]

I'm 100% Finnish, but I don't really feel like it as I was born in Australia. I'm learning from you more than I have from my parents, as you speak English so well. I have lost the ability to speak Finnish, but I did understand a few words you spoke here. It just warms my heart everything about your life. Thank you for sharing.

[@dorisbergmaier1455]

thanks for the lesson about bears and wolfes, we here in Germany can learn from you, a lot! We are not used to bears and wolfes, so everybody (almost) is afraid, it s said also so in the newspaper... because we have no experience, I guess

[@folklover-405]

Thank you for your explanation of Finnish culture regarding quiet time during meals. I resonate with this so deeply. Perhaps this is something I inherited from my Norwegian grandfather, so perhaps it is also a Scandinavian trait, and I should cherish that and respect that although I am different from most in the U.S. culture, it's a very valid feeling.

[@turpasauna]

Absolutely. ❤ I've heard that some Finns living in the US can find it taxing to act overly sociable all the time. Like kids getting told they are too shy or something. It's sad since there's nothing wrong with silence.

[@anavelesque]

You are a gem, Sanna. Subscribing to your channel was unavoidable. xxx PS While typing your name I thought that the Spanish word "sana" means healthy in feminine gender... and you certainly have a positive impact on the mental health of your viewers with your work. I am sure of it. Keep it up, girl.

[@PM-gx2bp]

Please keep posting. I’m originally from Finland. I moved to the US 36 years ago. I love your videos. They have made me think of life and how I can simplify everything.

[@Fanny-pz5rm]

Ciao Sanna,mi chiamo Fanny e sono una nuova iscritta al tuo meraviglioso canale. Ti scrivo dall’Italia,più precisamente Milano, dove sono nata e vivo. I tuoi video sono così belli,direi quasi curativi per me:vorrei avere intorno a me lo spazio vitale che hai tu,vorrei respirare l’aria pulita che c’è lì. Vorrei avere il silenzio che qui non c’è mai. Sono le cose che mi mancano di più. Anch’io come te amo i maglioni jacquard che sferruzzo con piacere. Io solo lavoro con 4 Ferri e tengo il filo a destra! So che per te sarà molto impegnativo montare questi bei video e io per questo ti ringrazio davvero tanto. Con essi fai del bene a tante persone e devi davvero essere orgogliosa di questo. Complimenti per il tuo inglese perfetto. Ciao a presto e un caro saluto anche al tuo ragazzo. 🇮🇹 ❤ 🇫🇮

[@Feli-b1b]

Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful life with us. The finnish people are usually called the thinkers. If one suffers on stress - they need to make holiday in Finland. There time goes differently and there is such a quality of life. I have many finnish colleagues and they are unique. Quiet, smart - very pleasant to have around. I'm german and I really love the finish people! And of course your country. What is Naava translated to english? Is it a moss? Is it lichen? The silence you mentioned - when I was a kid, I sat for hours during the dark winter hours in the snow just to listen to the silence. never found that again. I need vacation in Finnland

[@turpasauna]

Please come visit us! The silence, along with the nature and clean air, is healing.

[@brokentoyland]

Silence in nature, is very healing. I moved to a very small, rural town and it used to be like that here. But when you have a neighbor that insists on constantly blasting their music, it ruins it. boom boom boom boom boom, first thing in the morning. 6am, 7am, 6am, etc. I long for peace and quiet 😭 You are very blessed to have that. I grow chamomile, too. If you pull the flowers off once they form, it will keep producing all season, more and more. I love it. I even open the jar I store them in, just to smell it. It's wonderful.

It fills my heard with love and joy while watching your Videos. With my husband i moved from germany to sweden. We run our own farm with our own forest. And i had the same thoughts about owning a forest. This evening I stay in the kitchen and prepare lots of apples in different kind of ways for the winter and enjoy your wonderful Videos. Every time you bring me more back to myself. Thank you for beeing you

[@Ammiisa]

Sanna, teillä on kyllä todella kaunis ja hienosti sisustettu vanha hirsitalo! Upeat lattiat ja ovet. Hauska yksityiskohta oli myös keittiön valaisin, jonka huomasin olevan samanlainen kuin minun vanhempieni ruokapöydän yllä :) äitini kertoi, että se on heidän ensimmäinen ostos isäni kanssa 70-luvun alussa heidän yhteiseen kotiin, kun olivat vain 19-vuotiaita. Olen vasta vähän aikaa sitten löytänyt kanavasi, ja videot ovat tosi rauhoittavia. Mekin asumme mieheni kanssa taajaman ulkopuolella maaseutumaisessa ympäristössä, mutta kuitenkin hyvin lähellä kaikkia mukavuuksia Oulun seudulla. Olisi hauska kuulla pitempi tarina siitä, miten päädyit asumaan lappiin, miten tapasitte Esan kanssa ja mitä hän tekee työkseen? Kevät tulla jolkuttaa kovaa vauhtia, teillä ehkä vielä vähän hitaammin kuin meillä täällä "etelässä". Mukavaa maaliskuun jatkoa!

[@kellnwayne]

Such soothing relaxing videos. Your voice is very calming and mesmerizing. Look forward to your videos. You do a splendid job! Thank you all the way from from Texas!

[@lynnemanning9553]

Sanna, Absolutely lovely and cozy videos from you in Finland! I like your style and your heritage/culture! Your sweaters that you knit are gorgeous! Love the longer one you went skiing in with turtleneck. You have the right idea about living in the country, lots of solitude, not filling up every air space with words at meals, and creativity with your kitting and work....I would be out crossing country skiing too, everyday! I live on the coast of Maine, USA, and I love to cross country ski, and unfortunately, we don't get as much snow now, with global warming 😢 I think the forrest belongs to the animals, because it is their home,. You have a very nice way of articulating English, very kind and thoughtful. Take Care and Bravo with your youtube videos‼ 💟☮☯🕉

[@myphotoworldjeankd4001]

Yes I could feel and hear the silence. I go out into the desert here in Arizona and have that same experience. Thank you.

[@pauladavis7020]

I grew up in Northern Minnesota where it is also cold and the culture is heavily influenced by the Nordic nature as well. The scene is so familiar that I can almost smell my grandmother’s old furniture and her buns baking in the oven.

[@juliading1759]

I am so admiring your wonderful SIMPLE LIFE. It is a very touching warm scene that you sit in a rocking chair with an adorable dog by your side. I am working and living in a city. I am wishing that I will have my own dog with me (and my husband) to enjoy a relaxing simple life in a countryside when I am retired. But I never have a pet. Is it easy to learn how to adopt a dog?

[@ericpalmu9694]

My father was born and raised in Suomi. He came to the US with his family in the late 40s. I learn much of the Finnish culture. Even the little bit of talking. I like quiet. My wife gets mad because I have little to say.

[@JAWilsonwhitetidelinedesigns]

Hello from California ~ I think your thoughts about how humans and so many animals 'own' or believe they own the same forest is wonderful! I can imagine a simple children's story with outstanding illustrations of the forest in all seasons and the wanderings of the animals that share your forest. I am an American Finn-Swede - our village is Korsnas/Korsbäck on the west coast of Finland just south of Vaasa. My Mom was first generation American with both of her parents coming from Österbotten. My mom's first cousin worked as a doctor in Rovaniemi for a while and I have travelled to Norway's Samiland twice and spent time on the tundra in both summer (trekking) and winter (snowmobile across the high plateau) near the Sami Parliament and to Kautokeino, a Sami town. While I walked alone on the snow-packed streets of the town in winter, I felt such ease and so safe. I learned recently that I am 32% Finnish (and about 23% Swedish) and my maternal genetic line (Haplogroup K1C1) is from Siberia from a female 10K years ago who scientists refer to as Kristine. California is far too hot for me and my children. We all suffer through the summer's heat and rejoice in the winter which is still very mild, naturally. We crave the cold and are most energetic in cold conditions. All of my family is still in Suomi-Finland and now in Sweden and Norway, too. My kids and I are the last Americans left in the USA. I'm so happy to have discovered your channel. Kiitos!

Oh Sanna, this was the loveliest video to enjoy with my very own cup of evening chamomile tea! So much of how you live and what you talk about really speaks to my heart - I especially love your connection to nature and the love you have for your forest. And that beautiful moment of pure silence and stillness! What a special moment, I can only imagine how magical and blissful that would feel. I too had a similar moment on my walk through the trees, with only the sound of a gentle breeze and some lovely birds. A simple life connected to nature is truly so beautiful. Greetings and much love and appreciation from my little home in New Zealand! xx

Minute 19:13 ...omg I have the same exact thoughts about my piece of land and when I speak with some people that talk about animals that live in that land they sometimes say, referring to the animals, " why don't they go in their land instead of mine! " ..and that's when I usually say, "maybe this is its land and you came after" ...and that's when people stare at me like if I were an Alien!

[@roberthilliard4833]

I watched your beautiful video last night, but this is the first chance I have had to leave a comment. In it you mentioned reading before sleep - something I do regularly and have done so for very many years. Last night, I watched your video, which was at the same time peaceful and calm, but also inspiring. In many ways, it takes me back to my childhood, and to my grandparents (I am a grandfather myself now, so it can be a bit of a stretch 😁). Their life was uncluttered compared to many lives these days. They grew their own vegetables, kept chickens, and ate the seasons produce - no broccoli was flown in from Kenya back then! Too many people have lost touch with the natural world. I am so grateful to see that you have not, and enjoy every moment of your videos. I also appreciate how hard you both work to achieve the most basic things, such as keeping warm! My very best wishes to you both

Always amazed at how beautiful and wonderfully peaceful your countryside is in your clips Sanna. I was just thinking how great it would be to feel the quietness and silence of it all in the first part. Then you surprised me at 20min mark with your remarks upon it. I love the grey cast winter wonderland, the pristine cleanliness of Naava's meaning in life. You live a very interesting life Sanna.

[@scottishtomte]

Great point you make about silence. 😇 Outside in rural N Scotland, you wouldn`t believe the amount of near-constant engine noise: road vehicles, farm vehicles, different sorts of aircraft, whether at home or far up some remote glen. Not forgetting my lawn mower, garden shredder, etc. I only noticed it after making a few test videos. 🚛🚜✈

Love your videos and the calmness of them. I'm really glad you found this while you are young. I'm watching from Nova Scotia where I finally came home after too many years away and found my peace and calm. There simply isn't anything better than the quiet and serenity of a snowy day. It's almost palpable. I live in a small A Frame cottage overlooking a small lake. It's where I live and write in pure contentment. I recently found you and I'm starting at the beginning of your videos and catching up.❤

[@sophia4136]

Each of your films is filled with that wonderful tranquillity and peace you speak of. Thank you. Send it as much as you can. We need this. In this silence we can find our true inner nature.

[@lanalorenzen]

Greetings! I grew up in the state of Maine, in New England (born: 1951). I remember drifts so high in winter that we had to practically shovel the house out from under them. The crust of the snow would get so hard because of the low temperatures we could skate on top of it. I lived in a four-room log cabin that my father built while he was building our permanent home. (We had an outhouse rather than a bathroom--that was no fun.) We had an Irish Setter named Sunday who loved the snow. Later my father built his own line of sleds and raced huskies and malamutes. We all skied and used shoe shoes. Yup! We followed animal tracks, as well. This woman's house looks quite a bit like my dad's log cabin! (Hmmm. Do the dogs understand English and Norwegian? If so, they're darn smart!) I can certainly relate to the climate!! I've always felt very much a part of nature; to me, the planet really belongs to the other species. But, then, I'm a bit different! For the last two decades I've lived in St. George, Utah, in the American Southwest. The older I became, the less I could deal with the snow, sleet, rain, and cold. This is one of the most beautiful areas in the nation, with five major national parks: Zion, Arches, Bryce, Canyonlands, and Capitol Reef. It's a fascinating geological area that is studied by geologists from all over the world. The Grand Canyon is just a few hours away in Arizona. I spend a great deal of time driving the roads throughout southern Utah. I subscribed, Sanna! I'll keep watching and try to lend any support I can. Good luck! Lana Lorenzen

You and this concept are amazing. My entire life, I've been under the illusion that there was something "wrong" with me, but now I see there isn't. I didn't know there were others like this. The overwhelm is too much, and the need for solitude is like the need for air. Non sensitives run the world and see us differently. The difference is painfully and deeply felt. Vagabonding doesn't seem to be the answer. Bonding with like-minded souls is. Thank you, Sanna for your videos.

Oh my gosh, Sanna!!! I love your stash!!! I saw it during the beginning of the video...I love your color choices, so soothing and calm, like your videos. For so many years, I wanted to live a slower life. Now that I am retired, I am finding myself doing the same things you do daily and it brings me so much joy! I finally have time to do all the things I dreamed of doing when I was at work. Every day brings more joy and excitement...even though it is also "boring". I am now following you on Instagram and I look forward to seeing your videos pop up on KZbin....thank you for your content ❤

I know that life can be rough out there but , omg, this is the kind of life that I love. What a peaceful and awesome place. A day in your life is a dream . I sooo enjoyed looking at your video and last night ,when I found your channel, I devoured your videos ! I'm from Canada, near Quebec, and I'm even planning on moving to Lofoten, Norway 🇳🇴. I'm creating my move in my imagination,so we'll just see what happens ! This has to be the best channel EVER for me. You are a beautiful lady. You look so healthy and good hearted. Love your dogs ! Thank you for sharing your life with all of us. Seeing your beautiful place and the happiness in your face and your partner, has to be the New Earth 🌍! ,or the Old Earth for that matter. Really enjoyed seeing you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sanna , I think you have a good, and simple life, uncluered like it is in the rest of the world. I like your cabin also. It's a bit cold for my taste but you can all seem to handle it well. I love your dogs, they are family too. Especially the little Shelty. ❤

I find your vlogs to be very calming and healing. Its quite difficult to articulate exactly how I feel, but I wanted to say 'thank you' for sharing such natural beauty, earthly wisdom and a sense of peace. Wishing you every success with your business - I hope that us/we - your new KZbin friends - will be able to help it grow and grow :-)

[@dianebedrava]

An absolute beautiful video. Thank you for sharing! We love watching from Wisconsin, USA.❤

[@kayaker9912]

I love your life! I live simply on an island in the north east of the US and love it. We seem to have so much in common, though I am about 40 yrs older than you. I am the only family member to live this way, everyone else are city people, with so much going on, staying up late and just not being connected to "Mother nature". I also love the inside of your cozy home, particularly the room you had your carrot cake/coffee in. My days are also filled with needlework, photography, veggie garden design for the upcoming season and just plain ol trying to relax a very "noisy" mind. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing such a wonderful way to live. Good luck with your business, I wish I could help, but too far to give any to you.

I found you today and have watched two of your videos and they are charming. What a beautiful way of life.

[@camillepresant4460]

Thanks for pointing out the trap we can fall into with social media. Comparison is the root of low self-esteem I read once. Your channel just inspires me to be more me, because you remind me of parts of myself that have gone on the backburner ;)

[@IsabelMartinez-wk5rd]

Hola..... Te escribo desde México.... Que bonito sería conocer tu país... Y sentir el frío que hace aya !! Aquí ....solo disfrutamos del sol....saludos

[@kacakrovinova7655]

You are very kind. I enjoy watching your videos because it makes me happy. i feel some piecetime and calm. I visited North of Finland 2 years ago and it was breathtaking and I have always watched some video by you I have came back there again. I wish you great success in your work.

[@marianotes5483]

I have been watching this video while knitting my sweater also) and yes, we would need a day in a life of Pappu, please

[@liveocean6200]

Meraviglia di vita....profumi della natura, musica del silenzio, quiete dell'anima...ti invidio tanto!!!

[@sassulusmagnus]

I can relate to your experience of deep silence out in the winter woods. We are starved for silence in modern urban life. I think there's something in it that humans need. I also enjoy reading animal tracks and signs after a snowfall. It's almost like reading a community newspaper. The community of the forest. Who has been passing through, and what were they up to? Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.

[@IleanaFromCanada]

Again, you have brought a beautiful picture of your life to us. Thank you. It was beautiful ❤️
