Living in a Frozen World 

The reason i like to watch your videos is it completely relaxes me after a hard day mentally.

Greetings from Michigan USA. I found your videos earlier today and love them. They are all so peaceful. I am so grateful for this peace since life for me has been chaotic for me these past few months. Thank you for sharing your peace with us.

What a beautiful and insightful life. You embrace nature with the frozen temperatures and darkness with open arms. I think most of us would struggle to thrive in the setting having become too dependent on electronics and conveniences. Your sense of awe is inspiring. Watching you from northeast USA.

Bonjour Sanna. Je suis un papy français de 75 ans et je viens de découvrir votre chaîne et l'immensité de ''votre petit monde glacé ''. J'aime beaucoup l'hiver moi aussi et j'apprécie l'ambiance de vos vidéos dans la neige. J'ai fait beaucoup de photos dans ma vie et les vôtres me plaisent bien . Pourriez vous les montrer plus en détail . Toutes mes félicitations pour avoir réalisé votre rêve. Bien amicalement.

You countrymen did a great service during the Winter War and the Continuation War. Excellent rifleman culture in Finland. We owe you a debt of gratitude to your Greatest Generation. Thank you!

Wow... beautiful sharing myfriend. Sending suport for you. Greeting from Indonesia

You're the next big thing Sanna! You are truly amazing and you're showing the beauty of Finland. I've had the pleasure to visit Finland many of times since my girlfriend is Finnish, one day I hope to move to the northern part of Finland and live my best life! :) Thank you for being you, keep making these amazing videos! Greetings from the UK

What beautiful landscape! I love Finland!! ❤️🇫🇮 Thank you for a great video 👍❄️

This is one of my favorite videos. I love the life you've embraced. I'm so happy you've found your dream home. And that Papu can enjoy her old age by the warm fire. You and Esa look so happy. I am from Thunder Bay,Canada a lot of Finnish people moved in the early 20th century. We have winter that goes on till at least the end of April. Sometimes the leaves don't show up till the end of May. I would love to visit Northern Finland some day. It is SOOOO BEAUTIFUL Thanks for all your videos

Even in pure snowy white, the land retains a beauty all of its own, dotted with the remenants of trees that enliven the background giving depth to a painless experience of life in Finland. Cheers Sanna - you and yours have a great Christmas and New Year !!

What a beautiful video! I am in Southern California where it never snows here. To see your village is like a book coming to life. ❄️

The Bible says that the colors of God and his throne are red and green, and can be seen from the North. We don't live in an area where we can see the Northern lights, but I wish we did. Very beautiful scenery in your video.

Hi from Southern California, USA! I love watching your videos - such beauty and peace in them! Been watching at least one a day since I found them. In each one, the music is so beautiful and I wondered where it came from. But I bet this is the music you create yourselves! Such amazing creativity you have ❤

Ooooo, I hear the squeakiness of the snow! COLD! lol!

I am so happy I found you I am 75 years young and live offgrid in the north of Alberta Canada thank you for sharing your love of nature and your life in the north i love it 🥰 💜

It's so refreshing to see someone who appreciates winter and the cold! I love winter so much! There's so much beauty in the snow and ice, and even the long nights. Your videos make me wish I lived even farther north. Finland is beautiful!

Your feelings are like a poet. In every thumbnails there is a sign of sadness which only and feel the man who loves the nature and its beauty.

Thank you for your video! It is really calming to watch 🥰 I myself moved to Sweden recently and get to enjoy the snow and northern lights and darkness too. I feel so grateful for what this world has to offer

wow, those skies are like nothing i have ever seen! so beautiful. watching from new zealand

Absolutely stunning. Not sure why but I cried big heavy tears throughout the entire video. You are the real deal. A genuine, humble and beautiful, inside and out, winter fairy! You remind me to look for beauty in the farthest reaches and right under my nose. Thank you. I am in Colorado and LOVE our winters!! I am a snow person, for sure! Never too cold of a day to go out in it, for me anyway! I am out every morning from 7-9 no matter the season. Just got to have the right gear and it is possible! Even on the below zero days. They have become some of my favorite days, as I am often the only one outside. Thank you for sharing your life.

Спасибо , было интересно , красивое северное сияние , фотовыставка прекрасна и кажется гобелен , оочень интересно !!!

The irony is cold/snow brings people to Finland but it also keeps them away.I really like your Country and enjoy your videos.Keep on inspiring...

How very beautiful is north Finland. I love the videos and your cheerful, happy nature. Thank you ❤

Your videos are so beautiful, thank you for creating them! They bring me so much joy! In 18 days from now, I will be in Inari, Finland for the first time after wanting to go to since I was small. I grew up having saunas twice a week at my Grandparents. I’ve inherited a lifelong deep love & respect for nature & will treat the nature of Northern Finland as a member of my family. 💙🇫🇮❄️Andi from the Pacific Northwest of Washington State, US.

Hello, it's beautiful where you are. I really like winter and winter landscapes. I believe that the world is more beautiful in winter, even though it is cold and unfavorable. Greetings from Poland! P.S. Sorry for the grammar - I'm writing through a translator...

Greetings from a warm Texas in December. I am jealous of your cold which makes me feel alive. Your videos are intensely moving - a motivating melancholy. Very good words to live by - Rarely is anything black and white. We all need to have compassion. Cheers!

Hello “Snow White “, you are so beautiful in the middle of a pristine landscape …what a picture !!

Absolutely beautiful! Memories from my earlier life: the sound of frozen snow is still the same, the colors are as I remember, kind of otherworldly. Beautiful energy.

Hello, Sanna! I just discovered your channel! I'm delighted to see all the beautiful landscapes that surround you. I live on a beautiful island in Portugal, Terceira/Açores. Around here, we only have snow on some mountains above two thousand meters. Our temperature is mild, we have lots of sunshine in the summer and we're very rich in gastronomy! I love to knit and I enjoyed watching the episode where you showed the beautiful knitted items to give away. A big hug from the middle of the Atlantic!

Paljon kiitoksia from southern Brazil. Mä rakastan Suomi! Last year my family and I drove trhuoug Finland,on december, from Riihimäki to Rovaniemi and back to Helsinki. Your countrie is realy gorgeous! .

Your land is so beautiful! It is wonderful that you appreciate it also. Have a peaceful day!

Beautiful, such beauty, my eyes are rested from the rough world. Your house is what i have dreamed. Glad to have found your channel. 😊

Your videos are so so so lovely and comforting

Danke für dieses wunderbare Video und eure Herzenswärme! Liebe Grüße und alles Gute aus Wien ❤️🤗

What a beautiful world you living my dear Sanna .

Hello Sanna, i found your channel quite by accident when looking for something else. You have me hooked on your simple life and your need to live outside of cities. I live in southern new zealand, we are also blessed with not having to travel so far to be walking in the forests and being able to drink real water from rivers. We live with five months of winter, then three months of something else that`s slightly warmer, then four months of long sunshine and green trees, some might call this summer. Both of you enjoy your days and find peace in each other. Kind regards.P S love that you can feel the souls that have lived in your old house.

I came for the knitting and stayed for the beauty. Sanna, your world is amazing !! ❄❄❄

Your frozen world is so magical and enchanting, Sanna! Thanks for showing us the beauty of winter in your corner of the world ❄🌟

Another stunning and beautiful glimpse into your life. I love the peace, beauty and simplicity of everything. I am sure it is hard at times, but your joy in your life shines like a million stars! Thank you for sharing and bringing your beauty to us.

Hello Sanna 👋 It's always a big pleasure to watch your videos, you're lifestyle is so inspiring, I truly admire you for embracing nature this way, and accepting it just the way it is. I don't think I would handle this cold, I really want to experience it tough. Love from Algeria.

"In your darkest times, there's still light there." Such beautiful truth in those words.

This would be my dream,i love the cold and snow,its a peaceful world

finland is my one of the most favorite county. thank you for sharing the beauty Nordic nature.❤

Estou adorando os vídeos! Coloca legenda. Um abraço do Brasil 🇧🇷

I so love that big living room , it has space to let your mind relax and wonder , the wood is so comforting and warm . The winter is so similar to this cold place where lots of Finns came to , northern Minnesota . Have a beautiful Christmas time ... Skyval ❤️

I can’t help it, but skiing with your beautiful elkhound brings back memories of my elkhound that I hiked with and spent many hours with. After he was gone we never got another dog. Beautiful pictures and arrangement on the wall. Papa is the sweetest little dog.

I love it so much cool down here ❤❤ very nice and great full video good shearing thanks so much 👍

Hello from San Diego, found your podcast by chance, and I am loving it, watching all of them while knitting and drinking tea, thank you for making those videos I appreciate your time

I'm so glad I came across your channel! Thank you so much for your beautiful videos!

hello from sunny Florida your home looks like my freezer wow! Love it.

I just found your delightful video’s a short time ago!! Love the life you are living there,seems so laid back & peaceful! Gives me a calmness & is relaxing to watch your activities!!❤️

Thank you again Sanna, for sharing another video. You may in fact live in a very remote area of Finland and even the world, but there is no denying its isolated beauty, serenity and simplicity. I am awed and envious. Here's wishing you and your husband a warm and joyous Christmas; an even more prosperous, happy and healthy New Year! Hyvaa joulua ja onnellista uutta vuotta!

Thanks from France to have the chance to see your beautiful world.

My house is from 1947, and after my first winter I understood the importance of removing snow from the roof. I've had a smaller section of the house built in newer times, and the people who did it wasn't really carpenters by trade. That means if it get too much snow, it will start leaking in the split where the old section meet the new. That's why I've gotten a snowrake now so it's going to be a bit easier, because the first year I just went up on the roof with a shovel, and it takes more time and energy to do it this way. I've also gotten myself a heatpump this winter, because I had to buy wood and the advantages just felt less and less also because the main woodstove has some issues with it. As a financial and practical solution I figured a heatpump would be the best route for me, and already I know it actually cost less to use and having a more even temperature inside is very welcomed in my eyes. It is a lot of work keeping a fire going, and personally I felt it became a bit too much with the overly hot temperatures that were also super dry. I became tired much easier so I feel it would be better to just occasionally use the woodstove. I'm sure it would be different if I had a stove without issues and if I had trees I could chop down for wood, so for me personally it just became more of a financial thing given it would easily cost the same to purchase a new woodstove compared to a heatpump and then I would still have to buy wood. Got to do something to keep costs down so I can live more for less. 2nd winter here now and I still have no snow blower, so that's next years project. Shoveling by hand all winter has its ups and downs lol. I understand why all the farmers have all the machinery because it does help a lot.

Hi Sanna so lovely to see you again , I really hope your channel does well I think it will , as I said in your last video I went to Lapland in 2013 and fell in love with Finland 🇫🇮 I went with my lovely mum she was 84 years old 🥰 today is 8 years ago since I lost her , I have been back many times since and hope to go again in February . Thanks again love Jackie in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 xxx

thank you , happy Christmas !

So beautiful. Thank you. Linda from Wisconsin, USA

Greetings from Norway 👋🇧🇻 Just saw you on my feed and so glad I did. Very beautiful and amazing views . Reminds me so much of our cabin in Jøssund. We call it our little piece of heaven. 🥰 Thank you for sharing a lovely video and look forward to more! God Jul fra Norge! ✨🎄

Simply breathtaking. I love that your older dog is getting pampered. I also have an older dog who doesn’t see so well these days but love him just as much. Stay warm out there from sunny New Orleans.

I’m so pleased to discover your channel, I hope that many others will too

Hello Sanna! Thank you for the wonderful video. I is quite a depressive winter in Stockholm this year - many weeks without sunshine. To watch your great pictures is refreshing and giving me better mood. Thank you❣

What a lovely place to live and a gorgeous house. I am not surprised you love it so. A few years ago, we took our five grandchildren to Finland to visit Santa. It was so magical: we fell in love with it. Look forward to seeing more of your videos. A Christmas one perhaps? Love from England 🇬🇧

Hi from Nova Scotia Canada where we have no snow and are expecting a wind and rain storm tomorrow. My husband and I have retired (7 yrs ago) to a small cottage on the bank of a river. Finland reminds me very much of Winnipeg, Manitoba. My husband and I enjoy you videos and your photos of the northern lights are exquisite. And your knitting is extraordinary!

❤🎉 Sanna your camera is a brave girl indeed just like you...who is not only brave but also amazing...walking alone amidst the snow...with a hope in your heart...that with the rise of rainbow sky...there will be a change in your life...towards the joy you looking for...to make your life a complete one...❤

Lovely video, Sanna! I love snow & winter too - my favorite season. Greetings from the Pacific Northwest region of the US! I grew up in a different part of the country where we had a lot more snow than I currently have. I miss it very much and love to see videos like yours.

Gewoon prachtig! En vooral een prachtig leven!!! Geniet ervan...😘

So beautiful! I make RU-vid videos in a similar spirit as you and I think the winters are one of my favorite times of year although I have always wished to live somewhere where we have such deep winters like your land - so much beauty to capture. So glad to have come across your channel- it feels like finding a kindred spirit friend! Sending love from my little corner of the world to yours 💙💙💙

I miss the snow. Please blow some of it down to Denmark ❄🌬

Your videos are such a joy to watch and so relaxing. Thank you ❤

Only just found you! Love the expression in the music,quite hauntingly beautiful. It’s amazing but seeing snow and cold through someone else’s eyes is quite insightful. You have a naturalness in your presenting skills that is very infectious. So glad I’ve found you❤

Привет из Выборга! Я рада найти родственную душу! Сейчас много снега и все время метель. Вы снимаете такие прекрасные видео! Спасибо вам большое! Можно включить русские титры? Очень хочу больше участвовать!

Gracias Saana Vaara por invitarnos a tu lugar en el mundo. Dios te rodeó de belleza por donde mires y te dio el maravilloso don de observar y disfrutar. Gracias por tu hermoso mensaje! Deseo que todos tus días sean bendecidos y que nunca pierdas la capacidad de asombrarte y disfrutar la vida. Te abrazo desde Argentina❤!

Simply magic!!! I love your country and Papu is so cute! Thak you for all that beauty! Many hugs, from France! ❤❤❤

I started watching you lately and am so amazed by seeing the way you live. Thank you so much for creating such lovely videos. I wish you all the best.

I really enjoyed your video, which was "suggested" no doubt by some arcane algorithm, but I'm so glad it did! I am working my way back through your previous videos and just wanted to send you best wishes for 2024 and beyond. You deserve to get a great following.

Hi, I am so happy to hear that more people are watching you, it's amazing where you live and we need to see it 😊 I have a question, is it true that you can only see the northern lights with a camera/video? How did anybody know where to look to find them if you can't see them with the naked eye? 🤔 it's intriguing 😅 I would love to go one day to Finland and play in the snow and capture those lovely silent landscapes. I hope your dog is feeling better from her massage, she's very cute. Have a lovely Christmas ❤

Hello Sanna from Middle Tennessee, USA! Your videos are so peaceful and beautiful. Thank you for sharing your life and home with us.

Your videos are such a joy to watch, Sanna! They bring me back to one of my happiest memories of waking up in the middle of a snowy full moon night when I was young and going on a walk with my little Sheltie. There is something so peaceful and magical about the snow!

Wanna, you are so brave to live where there is frozen weather all winter. I don’t care for the bitter cold. We had a Finnish exchange student who spent a summer with us. He was delightful and we all loved him. I’ve tried to find him but haven’t been successful.

Beautiful videos you make! Happy I found your channel. Best wishes from the very far north of Sweden!

Love the snow! Thank you for sharing it with us. Only having rain here in Arkansas, USA.😊💐

Hei Sanna! Teillä on upea vanha hirsitalo. Asun itse Oulun lähikunnassa maaseutuympäristössä, jonne rakensimme isäni avustuksella vuonna 2021 valmistuneen hirsitalon. Ehkä 100 vuoden päästä tässäkin on samanlaista patiaa kuin teidän talossa, vaikka me emme olekkaan täällä enää sitä näkemässä :) katosta sanoisin sen verran, että vaikka se on iso investointi noin isoon taloon, teidän kannattaa vaihtaa kattopellit uusiin kevään tullessa. Vedenpitävä katto ja toimivat vesikourut ovat paras suoja kosteutta vastaan, jotta sisäkaton rakenteet eivät pääse hapertumaan ja kehittämään kosteusvaurioita ja sitä kautta vahingoittamaan myös muuta hirsirakennetta sisäkautta. Meilläkin on ihan mukavasti lunta, mutta ei kuitenkaan läheskään yhtä paljon kuin teillä lapissa. Olen usein miettinyt miksi Lapissa lumi kertyy niin hyvin puiden oksille ja myös jää sinne, kun täällä samanlainen ilmiö on harvinaisempaa. Onko kyse siitä, että kauempana merestä siellä myös tuulee vähemmän, lunta on ylipäätään enemmän ja pakkanen on kireämpää, jolloin lumi ei pääse tippumaan pois oksilta? Löysin kanavasi vasta hetki sitten, mutta sinulla on hienoja videoita ja kaunista taidetta. Ja koirasi on aivan ihana, tuo mieleeni meidän sheltin, joka kylläkin kuoli jo kauan aikaa sitten, mutta elää edelleen muistoissa. Hyvää joulua teille lappiin!

I so enjoy your film it transports me to beloved Finland BlessedChristmas!😊🎅

Your video is gorgeous. The land, snow and the environment of nature in its purest form. I’m imagining my grandparents living as you do but without the snow mobile etc. My grandfather was born in Petalax Finland in 1898. My grandmother also but not sure exactly where. So peaceful, there is just to much stress where I live in the US. My son is a wonderful photographer and does it for the enjoyment he gets from it. So strange to me that you said the sunset is the same time as the sunrise. So interesting. ❤

Awwwwww, kaipaan Suomea ❤ My husband is from the north of Finland we live in Germany now and it’s been a while I have seen your beautiful country in the winter. Kiitos for your great video. Feels so much like home.

Another beautiful video! Those northern lights though! 😍

I really enjoy watching your beautiful videos!! Your photography display is so beautiful!! You have wonderful talent! God Bless!!❤

I love your videos. I live in Nebraska (central U.S.). We also have very cold winters, but I suspect not as cold as you have in Finland.

Oh my goodness! I just want to scoop Papu up and take her everywhere with me. She is the sweetest little girl! ❤

The photo in the center, on the bedroom wall, is currently my favorite! ❤

Hi, I am new on your RU-vid channel and I just love it. I follow more people like you, like Jonna Jinton from Sweden and Daniel Erik from Sweden and than the algorithm of RU-vid will show you more videos of people who are doing the same. That's how I discovered your channel. Big hug from the Netherlands ❤

Such amazing beauty, creativity and peace that you have created in your amazing life. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

Coucou Je vous écrit depuis la France,près de Paris.... Je suis allée en Finlande et j aime❤❤ Bonne année 2024😊

Beautiful, simply beautiful, your frozen world is tough and magic at the same time.

How beautiful the sky you see there and all the snow and how cold it must be! The skiing looks so fun and good exercise! What a nice massage Papu received, how very lovely and 13! Thank you for a lovely video! 🤍

Another great video. I knew nothing about Finland before I discovered you - and your country. Keep them coming!!!!!(Somerset, UK)
