Mom from Finland fell in love with Kerala's nature - Holistic Eco Resort, Paithalmala Hill
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- This is the first time my mom is visiting us in Kerala from Finland. She had visited India once earlier, but that was a tour of North India. While we were spending most of our time at home, we also wanted to show my mom the natural beauty that Kerala is known for as God's own country. So after spending a few weeks at our house in Payyanur, we decided to drive to a nearby hill resort in Paithalmala, which is the highest point in Kannur district. It was one of the most exotic experiences my mom has ever had. She loved all the nature, food, animals, waterfalls and a great Ayurvedic massage! Annika, as usual was toddlering around, talking to all the animals and insects and keeping us busy and entertained. We all had so much fun together and a very memorable stay at Holistic Eco Stay resort. Highly recommended for a quick getaway :)

My name is Johanna North. I’m a Finnish woman travelling in India since 2016. In 2019 I married my Indian husband and we moved to the state of Kerala in southern India, where we are still living. In 2021 we welcomed our baby girl into this world. On this channel I share videos on blending our Finnish-Indian family life, culture, food and travel mostly in India, and sometimes in Finland too.

Annika lucky child she gets to go to Finland and Kerala..woww
Actually Anika is a bridge between india and Finland. We must appreciate both of you .
Kerala is God's own place. No words to express the beautiful of each and every thing. Upon that it is very loving to watch Aanika's excitement and expression . Nice to see your mum enjoying India visit and loving the food too. ❤
Keralam - God's own country ❤️
Don't say only Kerala is beautiful u didn't even visited all states of India. M from northeast I have seen much more beautiful places in North East.
My mom really loved her stay in Kerala 😊
Lol kerala aint gods own country, it was marketed as this 🤣 for tourism , 😅
Still they don't allow Any devotees to see God, just as it happening in Shabarimala , it is the most overhyped place of India, just visit any North Indian States, or atleast visit your neighbouring States Andhrapradesh, Karnataka Rural places , they're are so many Beautiful Places, Kerala is only Famous because of it's good Tourism Campaign and marketing, 10-15k just to stay in Wooden boat , for that money You can Stay in 5star hotel with exclusive Access to every available service, first try to Respect The god you are talking about by good Facilities to the people who visit the temples, Out of all the places I visited Shabarimala Has the Worst facilities in terms of Providing Security to who walk through the jungle, or proper drinking water, places to rest
I repeat myself over , in all these years I see so many Vloggers , yet with one or two exceptions, that too not in an all encompassing sense, I seldom have seen anyone who shoots and captures moments so beautifully with music blending in perfectly without being obstructive. And I don’t tire repeating this 😊.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Your repetition always cheers me up and gives me motivation 🙏
After eating hot,spicy Kerala food, Mummi goes red, her nose starts running,her ears start ringing , her mouth feels like a volcano, her brain is overloaded , her heart is pumping wildly and rivers of water start running down her face.
Johanna explaining to her Indian audience - Mama is crying tears of joy...
😂😂😂 well yes, but here in North Kerala/Malabar it’s really not that spicy! Especially when it comes to sadhya or fish meal 😅
Johanna, if your mom found it difficult to handle Kerala food, please dont take your mom anywhere near an Andhra restaurant, especially Guntur style. Their spice levels top in India. But, it would be great if you can try it once.
Oh my,such a thrill to the taste buds
Yes traditional Kerala food are spicy. You could have asked them to serve food with little or no spices, I can vouch that any restaurants in Kerala will be more than happy to make their guests happy.
I am from Payyannur. Even though I too impressed with the video. Sure I will visit this beautiful resort soon with family. Thanks for your good words about Kerala and our culture.. 🥰🥰
Wonderful when two cultures meet..world must be thus..
Bless your family..
Not always my ex was an Hindu and he cheated on me with Filipino girl. Then blamed me for not acting like an indian woman. And ignore what he did. Most indian men are terrible
Just beautiful. How can somebody not fall in love with this country. From Kerala to Kashmir, from Gujarat to Arunachal. India is the most beautiful country on Mother Earth.
No world can beat Indian vegetarian food ; I have been to many countries and I can say this for sure.
The amalgamation of mixed spices, vegetables, coconut( in coastal region food) is so filling. My INDIA is best!!
Annika has the best upbringing ever
Never let it change. Let he grow up in the laps of Mother Nature
How you narrate the stories is simply amazing……❤
Thank you 🙏
The way you all were surrounded by greenery, waterfall, birds ,animals, serene is nothing but have a feeling of living in heaven, even I tried ayurvedic massage in my city and it is really relaxing. Keep entertaining us by your amazing video Johanna family ♥️
Thank you so much, I’ll do my best! 🙏
Your mom is the cutest and sweetest, i see where you get it from.
kerala is so beautiful. Everyone will fall in love with Kerala😍
Wow ! nature is so kind to kerala
ahh yah, that seems awesome! Like a trip to mother earth. natural foods, nature, water, finding inner peace, quite. Nice one Kerala!
Seeing the waterfall and the trickling stream reminds me of my childhood. My grandparents place was in Amboori, on the hillside. We used to spend so much time playing in the streams which run so clear and fishing in the ponds.
What a beautiful place to spend your childhood in! 😊
I think Anika would really love “My neighbour Totoro” movie given how she’s always surrounded by nature and has curiosity for animals
Kerala is so beautiful. Your videos are topclass, the Lil girl looks like her Naani a lot.
1 suggestion: you should have 1 Finnish word in every video , that you teach to Annika, so that your viewers also learn a word. 👍🙏
What a beautiful concept eating out of banana leaves but never got to experience that! Annika is such a curious traveler and so glad your mom is enjoying there and very comfortably it seems. And you looking so pretty. Enjoy your stay at that heavenly place ❤️🥰
I’m sure there must be South Indian restaurants in the US who’d serve food on banana leaves too! Or at least try to find a place on your next India trip, it’s quite the experience 😊
This is part of Western ghats and every inch of soil is real adventure and of utmost beauty✨❤
Amazing landscape, beautiful journey, very well captured video, really well done Johanna, enjoying the videos 💎🔥👍🏻
Thanks so much! 😊
I enjoy Kerala through your vlog! You explain them so well and you visit places with Nature’s beauties 👍👌👏❤️
Finally a quiet 1/2 hr to watch your spectacular video Johanna. What a gorgeous place on this earth. So good that grandma had a wonderful experience & that Annika got to enjoy it all again. The food looked amazing & had me drooling. Christmas day today has come & gone here in Toronto & I hope your holiday season is very happy for all of you. Much love from uncle Blair. 💋❤
Hope you had a great, relaxing Christmas and wishing all the best for the rest of the holidays, and of course 2024! Hugs from Annika ❤️
Love your videos......I am a malayale. How beautifully you're capturing my state ❤️
❤ The Family!
Enjoy our Kerala 👍🏻
Merry Christmas Johanna & Family
Happy holidays!

Johanna You have helped bridging India close to Nordic countries.I truly appreciate VINOD & JOHANNA in this long everwinding journey.
Indian's millineal generation is grateful for Nokia (finnish mobile company)..such a nostalgia✨
A good watch . Highlights the importance of Nature protection & preservation . #Respects and Thanks for all the effort, hardwork into making this Video log. Annika mol is growing up smart and energetic like her Mamma&Dada
I am a regular watcher of your family videos. Truly an inspiration to universal values forgetting race, nation , religion , caste creed etc. I feel as if I am you.
Thank you so much for the kind words 🙏
Thanks for your lovely video of Kerala loved to see you all enjoying the beautiful natural beauty of Kerala the flora and fauna water falls food and sauna so happy your mum enjoyed India and little Anika is adorable you both are great parents
We believe your mom has a wonderful time with your family in Kerala ( in a cozy house). Is very nice to see your mom in your video. Nice lady!
Nature enjoyment movements!! Kerala food seems yummy!! Nice to see Grandma enjoyed her stay!!
Amazing Mom is very happy . She might have seen different part of world .
Wow! Such beautiful video. Your mom see seems to be enjoying.
Loving your Vlogs. Not a travel lover, but your Vlogs inspire a lot and I am now fond of travel.
You know you don’t always have to travel to foreign lands or even very far from home! It’s more of a mindset of openmindedness, curiosity, learning and above all of finding something good and beautiful about everything, everywhere 😊 just going out and exploring one’s home region is a splendid thing!
And this video gave a feel of some holistic essence throughout❤❤🎉
So beautiful Annika loves the animals 🐈⬛🦜🫏🐕🦺🦩🐓🦢so so beautiful Annika 👧🏻🎄☕️🤶🏻

So peaceful and relaxing place to put aside all your worries,work and stress and only to enjoy the serenity and beauty of nature..breath-taking view ..lovely getaway place..
Yes, perfect place to just unwind without any noise, phones etc 😊
Respect to your mom
Beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤. Lovely kerala. Backwaters is most beautiful. The house boats
Backwaters are beautiful too 😊
Simply spectacular Johanna!! The resort was amazing!! To be surrounded by nature and animals is so good for the mind and body. Thank you for taking us along and showing us the beauty of this part of India. What a treat!! Big hugs and kisses.❤❤
Hope you had a peaceful, relaxing Christmas and are well on your way to recovery! ❤️
Indeed, it would be tough not to fall in love, or not to be in tune with this uncontaminated and laid-back nature. The surrounding panoramic views were priceless.
It was palpable your mother's content face ❤
She had a great sleep with an AC machine (which we dont have at home in the guestroom), so she was blissfully relaxed 😊
…and of course, she just had missed any kind of sauna too much and fell in love with ayurvedic treatments!
Great experience you all had. Lovely... Just a culture thing, not a crime and just FYI. In Tamil Nadu there is a thing like if you fold the banana leaf away from you, it means you do not want it again. This is done after lunch at a funeral house to say we are sorry. Pretty similar to chop-sticks stuck on a rice bowl in Japan. So, to say I liked the food and thank you for your hospitality, you fold the banana leaf towards you after the meal.
Here the locals fold the banana leaf away from themselves, so that’s how I do it too 😊
such a wholistic video😍...I feel so homesick now🥺....loads of love and blessing to your entire family and MERRY CHRISTMAS❣ !!
Happy holidays!
I love the way you narrate ,softly and in simple way, no loud expressions,..just capturing the scenic beauty of place you visit...
Happy to see your mother having a great time in my beautiful state..kerala..she will surely go back home rejuvenated ☺️ ...
