Hi, hallo, moi !
We are a family of four (AT/FI) starting a new life in northern Europe! We left Austria in July 2022 and lived in Turku, Finland with a purpose to find a little farm where we could just live in peace and quiet on and of our land. And we found it! In July 2023 we finally moved to the countryside and have been living since then in Central Finland.
If you want to see how living in Finland is and how we are starting our homestead - jump on board! :)

Homestead Summer Nr. 2: Plans vs. Reality + New Things | Finnish Countryside
The second summer has flown by at our "new" (100 year-old...) homestead - what did we get done? Did we put a new roof on the shed? What about the old oat field? Let's walk through the yard and see what has happened - or if anything has happened! I'll also tell you about some new and for us quite big things which are soon going to be happen. And show of course the beautiful September which we have been enjoying ♥

A Day in the Life in the Countryside of Finland | Ordinary Slow Living

Hi, welcome to follow one whole day on our small homestead in Central Finland! Late August is still warming up, but autumn is clearly on its way - for example, the daily evening swim is no longer daily! Otherwise, this is pretty much what our days are like when we are at home all day. And luckily we don't have to drive that much somewhere, because we really like our daily life here. I hope you ...
First Year Gardening: Failures & Wins | Vegetable Garden Tour in Finland
Переглядів 49Місяць тому
August is the harvest month, at least here in the north! Before everything in our garden is harvested and snow covers everything (hopefully that won't happen anytime soon), here's a video of everything we managed to grow in our first year! I'm really happy, even though I made a lot of mistakes - but if I hadn't made mistakes, I probably wouldn't have done much else either! We'll see later how m...

We just spent a good week in Austria - after being 2 years away! Nothing had really changed that much, except the noise tolerance! In this video you'll just see some traveling and thoughts about being back in my dear ex-chosen homecountry vs. countryside peacefulness.

We are a family of four who got enough of the madness of the city and moved far away from it all to be able to live in peace and quiet! After one year now in the countryside I made a small walk and talked a bit about the differences which I have noticed during this time. Some surprises and new things, but also old thoughts just getting confirmed. Maybe you are thinking about moving to the count...

Here's a small reminder of what everything is waiting for us, all those warm summer days and endless evenings... it's all still to come...

If you know you need stable conditions and lots of hope, sun and happiness in your life - do NOT move to Finland! Otherwise you might have to say goodbye to your mental health. I still think it's a paradise on earth, just sometimes it's really testing our limits. But then the sun is shining and you forget everything again ... :D Buuut at least it's really beautiful, even though I'd prefer some ...

Our stable has stood empty for decades - and is now finally getting some new inhabitants! In this video I’ll show you our trip to pick them up and how our first days have been. We are so, so happy to have some more life here again!

There's still so much snow and yet we don't have a winter feeling anymore! Spring definitely meant something else in Central Europe, but we do have lots of other spring things here.
