Ep02 - my sister's Finnish house tour & finding her an Indian husband? (Life in Finland series) 

I understand why Vinod and your mom are so proud of you, it's not easy to start a family and settle down in a completely different country as you make it look.

What a sister you have , to buy toys and redecorate for her niece is very sweet geese my sister def would not have done that

Your sister is so sweet. Very touching how she put up your daughter's photo on her bedroom wall. She's a great aunt. I hope she will find the man of her dreams soon, someone who is mentally and emotionally compatible with her, not to mention is attractive too💕✨🙏 She deserves it. She's a beautiful person.

I always loved Johannah's styling of her Indian household-minimalistic and stylish, Now I see her sister is like that too, Loved the house🥰🥰🥰

I imagine what Annika would be thinking with exploring all the Finn sights, sounds, weather, family, food ..

It was nice to see the Finnish landscapes in winter covered with snow. Your mother and sister are so loving and caring. Vinod surprisingly adapts himself with the Finnish atmosphere. Above all , great to see Annika standing up for the first time. Expect more videos shortly.

Motherhood is tough , particularly in the early years of the first child. Added to it, you have uprooted to a different country and culture far away from your own family and background. With your loving and supportive husband and in laws and your own family, it will get better. You will do fine. Try to remember this whenever you are feeling down. Enjoy the precious babyhood of Annika. Your videos are delightful. Thanks for sharing.

you have a wonderful family. Your sister is amazing and so is your mum. God bless you all☺️

It seems- Anika is getting used to being covered like an Astronaut! She seems calm😌 and happy 💕

Your sister will get the right man at the right time. No need to set any time limit for it. A happy marriage is what is most important, like you have. Your in laws have stood strong by you,going against their Haryana culture and foregone of their natural expectations. If only you had seen the truth,you would have realised the strong support system they provide to you. Both your mother and sister are sweet. Hope you all live a good life.

Dear Johanna, TY! U look wonderful; everybody does. So happy u r with ur family. Vinod, bless his soul, despite the coldness & early Winter darkness of Finland 🇫🇮 looks happy + his sense of humor is shinning. Cracked me up on arrival at the airport (on the lift) when he said " u can't trust these Finns" 😊 Appreciate u showing us towns near u, the 🛒 markets, which are small but seem 2 have great variety, something we do not hv outside of Lisbon, 🇵🇹 (just barely enuff) and only in bigger cities. Finn weather 🏘 & shops remind me of the Northern Lakes, USA, where I found some 🇫🇮 - 🇺🇸 heritage in Wisconsin & Minneapolis area; frigid cold there as well. Ur prices 4 🍼 food seem equal 2 US prices, but it is absurdly expensive in Scandinavia,just not sure if 🇫🇮 is as expensive as 🇳🇴. Your mom is a sweet, dear women, bless her soul. Very sorry she lost a husband and u lost a daddy 😔 so young. Lost mine @ 25yrs old and never got over it. Annika is glowing & totally besotted with ur sister. In her little mind she now has 2 mommies, u 2 look so similar. 😲& her bathroom! OMG what I would give 2 hv a sauna here! Hope u find her a good husband, but if u run into problems send her to 🇵🇹 where she will find one in a jiffy; this despite the perpetual shortage of available men here! 🙄. Stay warm, healthy and happy. Xoxo. 🙏🤗

Nina looks very kind hearted and good woman. I wish her to meet the man oh her life soon!

Johanna your family is so love and Vinod is so enjoying the coziness of all this love. Fun to see Annika enjoying her new toys. Love you all and stay warm.❤️🙏🏼

Annika looks like a little doll in all those warm clothes!

Just loved the part where Annika was just loving and participating with the Christmas song and Jingle. Yes , I totally agree with Vinod , I really liked your Sister’s place. Lol, I would have definitely Dated your sister, seems so sweet with Annika, if I was not so much older 😊, and in India I am just across the Border from Kerala 😄.

Oh dear Johanna, love your Finnish series. I see a whole new Johanna in front of us with positive vibes. I see you being relaxed in your hometown with your sibling and mother. I guess, when Vinod admitted he is proud of you because he finally understands the plight of being away from your homeland, relatives, cuisine and everything else. He can finally relate to it all in the first place. Nothing is for granted. I can only imagine how struggling and demanding it could be to live in a country where you can only understand a few words of the local language, socio-economic and cultural mindset... I am sorry that psychiatrist couldn't meet with your expectations. Next time. By the way, Annika is visibly fond of her aunt Nina. You can read that from her facial expressions. Nina knows pretty well how to interact with a toddler. Your sister and you look alike. I sometimes, find hard to identify between you two. In addition, Nina has got a beautiful and cozy house. She can be proud of herself for her achievements by far. Again, your Mother speaking in English to Vinod was cool. I can see she is over the moon with you guys presence in her home. Well, take care of one another and stay blessed and safe.

I am incredibly proud of you also, you are never just Annikas mother nor Vinods wife to me you are simply Johanna a truly beautiful person both inside and out. I'm always happy for you to vent, complain or speak your mind, my line of communication is always open free of charge 😉. You look so happy in Finland. Take Care big hug from us. X

10:18 Annika is mesmerised by her auntie Nina! 😍😇 10:52 ❤️ 13:15 😅😉😉😇 Nina’s house is very beautiful. Very much the same design of the new-build homes we have in the UK with the white and grey theme throughout. Loving these cosy Finland vlogs with your family! 🇫🇮❤️

Your videos are so calming and Anika’s smile makes it more beautiful 🥰love your content and how strongly you express yourself in the videos . Kudos !!

I absolutely loved the bit where all the girls of the family sing Finnish jingle bells together 🤩🤩, Annika loves to interact with her aunt so much.. I had cinnamon buns in Sweden and I loved them. Thankfully we get some kind of cinnamon buns here in CZ as well, slightly different than the ones from Sweden. By the way, my husband was in Tampere for Plant physiology conference in 2008 (probably you were still studying then :-)) and he loved the industrial architecture of the city. I still remember his travel to Tampere because it was during Beijing Olympics and I sat in Brno and watched it all by myself. Brno like Tampere is historically an industrial town with lots of heavy industry and some the old buildings are now restored. Very nice vlog Johanna. 🙂 I am happy to see Vinod and Annika all comfortable in there. Added later, I wanted to add this but somehow missed the first time: And of course they should be proud of you because you have achieved the unthinkable. You found a guy from a different country and culture, you left behind all you had made for yourself in Finland, took risk to see if you will make a life in India with the man you felt like the one for you. You lived in India fighting all odds just to enjoy the life with the man you love. You have integrated better than anyone I know of. Hats off to you Johanna. It is an achievement to be proud about.

Very beautiful and cozy house.Yes,u should find some Indian guy for her.Aanika is the centre of attraction and loving her smiles and the way she responds ❤️

Great Video 👍Anika is a breath of fresh Air and calming energy in your home! Am really enjoying it 💕

Family time is always a blessing. Have a great time with loved ones.

Love your sister’s super cozy & beautiful apartment👍🏻👏🏻wow…comes with a sauna, so cool! Glad to see Annika’s adapting & enjoying 😊

Very beautiful vlog. Serene and Peaceful. It's beautiful to be home together with everyone.

OMG!!! A sauna in her house! I am absolutely loving your Finland videos. It reminds me of when I used to spend family Christmas in northern Canada.

Lovely video. Loving family. Annika and Johannah look very comfortable with family in Finland, very settled. In fact more settled in Finland than in Kerala. Nina's home is cosy and comfy, clean and neat, it's beautiful. I felt my presence there though I live in London. Annika looks a dressed up doll with her winter clothes. Enjoy your stay for as long as you can and keep sending more videos. It's really a pleasure. Thank you

Annika finds her aunt very entertaining.

Dedicated dad. His eyes always on Anika 😍

Thank you Johanna for showing us Finland a country we rarely get to see It's really good to see Annika enjoying and adapting to the new surrounding so well Enjoy your holiday and my warmest regards to your mom and sistery

What a lovely family!Annika is very lucky to have an effectionate family like this.Their emotional support for Annika is heart warming.Best. Wishes to you all.

Such a lovely vlog...I felt the calmness and good vibes. It was festive too. I loved seeing ur mother n sister and ur bond together. Annika is the show stopper 😊❤️

A very warm vlog...yr family seems to be so warm...you made us feel like we went visiting to yr sister's home... beautifully done up home

Just awesome. Keep smiling and stay blessed all of you.

If i say honestly... Annika and Johannah are feeling much more comfortable in Finland. its seems like both are happy there physically and mentally. Natural habitat.

Joanna, it's great to see you in Finland. Be happy.

Wow was eagerly waiting for the 2nd episode of finland.

Your Finnish vlogs are really nice to see. Annika seems to be so happy there.

Hi Johanna and Vinod, of course it is cold in Finland and also here in Sweden but thankfully we have a good heating system just like in Finland. I was in Tampere many years ago, a very nice city. Your mother and your sister are very humble and caring and know the meaning of life and are very happy to see you all together as one, it must be pure joy. Your sister's apartment is also nice and cozy. I'm sure Vinod is learning a new culture that good is for him. Thank you so much Johanna for sharing and showing your precious family in Finland. Keep the warmth💞💞🙏

I love the sauna. Thank you for sharing.

Loving your Finnish episode's.. Nina's house is so beautiful 👏

This series of your Finnish visit is wonderful because I know very little about Finland, and I suppose I could speak for a lot of your other subscribers. Seeing how you have to bundle up for the weather, what’s inside stores, the buildings, the streets, inside soo the apartments, all are very interesting.🎄⛄️

There is an unbelievable lightness that exists in Indian people which I have not found anywhere else in the world. I am a Canadian married to an Indian and living in India. I think rather than looking for a psychiatrist to easy worry or uncertainties which you seem to be having struggles with, while in india or even in Finland learn from Indians around you like Vinod and your in-laws. They are always light, peaceful, happy and your commentary in many videos shows that you do not share in this underlying joy which is natural for them and rather you tend to talk with a continuous negative and sometimes selfish perspective. Personally I struggled living in India at first and then I just let go of most of my western judgements and perspectives and life just opened up to me. This is just my observation from the few videos I have seen. All the best ❤️

Liked your sister's home tour. Your mom is so beautiful. With Annika evey one enjoyed there. Convey my warm love to mom

Your sister's house tour was fantastic. Ur's sister home found very nice and elegant. convey my best wishes to her by decorating the house in a spectacularly.

So nice to see u all enjoying your Christmas celebration. Annikka seems to be so happy. Enjoy💕

Another beautiful share 💗, both Annika and Vinod are bonding so well with your family , your sister’s home is very nice and she comes across as a very kind hearted person and truly deserves a good husband be it Indian or Finnish or any other . Thank you for sharing your family’s vibes with us 💖

Beautiful Finnland. Happy Holidays to Johannas family

Your family is beautiful johanna..... Very loving family.. Very caring towards each other ☺☺

Video is sweet and simple. I like it very much. Aunty & Nina are so sweet and humble. Love the videos so much❤ Hope by the end of year, anika starts walking as we can see that she's progressing a lot.

Annika is so cute in her winter gear. Johanna you look lovely with your new haircut. Your mum is so sweet and your family is so proud of you.

Thanks for the free Finland tour 👍🏻😇

Clearly shoes the high standard of living in Finland and of course higher wages. Finland a small country, cold and technologically advanced. So, I would guess they have a great curriculum in schools and Universities. Nina's apartment has a LOT of White Colour. Happiness is what you make of your life.

As a tropical person from the Caribbean I can’t take winter for more than one month, don’t get me wrong winter is beautiful (spent winter in England lowest it got was minus 5) but just too dark and cold for me 🥶 ….I like the sun and the nature all green year round ….the beach is 2mins away from my house 🏖 🏝

That's so cute baby and home 🏠 is absolutely fantastic and all the things r white shaded it's good piece of mind and lovely as well and ur sister so pretty😍

Very good video. I can almost feel myself at home with you

What a wonderful visit to Finland. I love seeing the scenery and the snow. I know you're loving your time there. Enjoy and Merry Christmas to you, Vinod, Annika and your mom and sister. Oh tell your mom that as a grandma myself? I can see that "grandma look of love" on her face while looking at the baby. Only grandparents know that look. (And of course Vinod's mom has it too..and dad,) love to all!

O such a lovely home.annika seems to be very happy in company of her grandma and aunt. Annika looks very much like her grandma.

Very intimate video! I like it so much, you are so close and helpful each other, how nice Nina and your mummy are! I see also that Vinod is getting on quite well with them, Annicka seems to enjoy that much with all your family! Thanks Johanna for this precious video! Last but not least, you are doing one of the most important things for you and your family, that is getting helped with your issues by a therapist, I did it some years ago as well and I got better after a few weeks, ❤️❤️

Loved it💯 stay strong 😊

Your sister was so sweet to make such an inviting space for your daughter. Wonderful:)

Holiday Greetings from New York. It is cold here but no snow. But, I can feel the warmth, the love, the joy of a family together. Your mom is full of kindness. Little Anika is so joyful. I know the cold is uncomfortable for Vinod..dress in layers..he will be fine in a couple of days...Do enjoy the rest of the Christmas season. Take care.

Love your Finish videos. Your family is so loving and giving. Your mum is a real mum. Glad we got to meet them as we have done Vinod's parents who are also so loving and giving. Annika is blessed to have this rich diversity and culturally rich environment to grow in. She has the best of both worlds. Motherhood is life long Joanna and with each year your body will learn to cope with the demands of motherhood. In my first year as a mother my biggest fear was that I we never get sleep again ! But I've survived 30 years and journey of motherhood has geared me for almost all events and circumstances of life that unravelled thereafter. The Lord will send you the strength you will need for everything since He has chosen you to be a mother. You have all you need within you. I can see it. Just don't stress and take each day in your stride. Few women can make the adjustments you have so March on bravely. Enjoy each day because Annika will be all grown up before you knew it and you will always look back on this particular time of 1-5 years and wish you can turn back the clock.

Johanna....you,Vinod and Annika look so happy n relax in Finland.I love your mum and sister's personality....love to all of you🥰

Wow super beautiful video Johanna 💞💞🥰🥰💞💞💕💕💕

Wow. Beautiful Finnish family. Wonderful to have seen how Finnish families are bonding strongly. May we see your dad’s photo

Mom and sister lovely beautiful family Johanna 🥰🥰💞💞💕💕💕

Superb 👏🏽 …. Merry Xmas 🎅

Looove your mom - she just takes it all in stride . Such a classy wise lady.

Thanks enjoyed Finnish view of things, Annika of course

Loved it.....sis house is beautiful.

You got a great sister and mother. ❤

Family times are the best therapists.

Nice to see Johanna Finnish Family .

I really like your sister house it's really small but it's look so beautiful n Anika is growing up so fast n she so 🥰🥰😘 love @Vicky from Shillong ❤️😘 n merry Christmas to you and your family n Happy Holidays 👍

Ah another beautiful video, little Annika seems to be enjoying all the attention and fun, I loved how you all sang jingle Bella to her, that's what we do here too. Vinod seems not as shy 😊 and it's lovely to see him blending into his Finnish family, Your Mom and sister are so happy that you're all there, their love for you all shines through in your videos, sometime in the future maybe you'll upload a travel tips for Finland video, I would love some inside travel advice. Johanna becoming a Mother is a huge event and you did so with mine of your own family around you, every girl needs her Mom close to help guide her through becoming a Mother. I know you're blessed to have such good in laws, but you were far away from your motherland, so you had a lot of change in your life, then Annika arrived and no matter how much we love our babies, the transition from being you to becoming a Mama is huge, so. It's OK not to feel OK sometimes, you're doing a, great job, and Annika clearly adores you 😊, be proud of yourself Johanna, my heart did a flip when I saw Annikas face light up with pure delight when you all sang to her, Annika is a very happy baby and that's all that matters. Looking forward to your next upload 😊😊

Hi Johanna lovely contents just got to see them now beautiful love them especially the Finlad ones

Your sister is a beauty. N i love your mom. A rare typical mom

Lovely to see Finland through your videos. Snow everywhere unlike hot and humid Kerala. Vinod and Annika seem to be enjoying it, and so do your mom and sister.

Finland is really beautiful, I would really like to visit this beautiful land , god bless

Annika looks so cute and cuddly. Such a doll 🥰

I loved your mom's house more. Bit biased here. It has a touch of old school to it. Lots of motherly vibe, love is spread around. It's small but it's something special. The minute I saw her home in your video, I fell in love. This is how I want it for me and my wife. Give my regards, its a lovely home. No offense to your sisters house...its nice , modern and functional. I prefer your mom's house. Annika I believe is enjoying everywhere, except outside.

Thanks Johanna for lovely VDO. Infact all of your VDOs,ever since you are in Finland are very nice,From the pictures in the VDO one can see how beautiful is your country Finland. Hope u will post more VDOs. God bless U>

I know RU-vid videos can portray a much happier person than in reality…but remember, you have opportunities that many people would kill to have, you have a beautiful family on all sides and your inner family of you three, there is so much love and that shows. You get to live in a country I would LOVE to live in, India is my dream place and you can visit Europe which is my second dream place! Your blessed hon, motherhood is never easy but it’s always rewarding. Stay strong, you don’t need a therapist to remind you of your purpose or give you tools to be happier, just look within and around you and soak in the life you have because time flys away from us fast.
