I hope you won't be put off from watching this vlog due to its length, my dear friends! Our love story is quite dramatic, with many twists and turns, and I wanted to share also details with you instead of just listing all the events in our early days. It was impossible to cut the story shorter than this. If you find yourself impatient with the duration, use the video timeline where I've added sections! This should help you in moving from one event to the next :) Enjoy!
Well come to beautiful #Pakistan ❤❤❤the best place for traveling and adventure in the world #pakiatan lot of love from me #peace❤❤❤💛💛💛 #peace❤❤💛💛 #peace❤❤💛
Omg....I cant believe you came to India 2nd time just to search for Vinod......That's crazy.....U r a real gem of a woman.....lots of respect to you......Vinod is the luckiest person in the world to have such a caring person like you......Take care.... Wishing you all the best😊😊
Thank you so much and I agree with everything you said! Vinod should be thanking me every day now that I think of it 🤔😜 it's good that one of us is very emotionally driven though, and the other very rational and steady 😁
@@JohannaNorth Yup. That's how marriages are supposed to work. Partners completing each other's personality gaps. In hindi, wife is known as "ardhaangini". And you truly are his ardhaangini. Ask it's meaning from Vinod. You'll be happy when u learn it's meaning from him.
There are people in comments saying that this won't last long. Trust me guys, Indian marriages don't crumble that easily, especially if the couple has a child. They will be together forever ❤️❤️
They cheat a lot ! Lol I know few guys in the United States . They are married , have kids but they cheat a lot ! When you ask them why they don’t divorce their wife If they are not happy ? Their answer: I have kids and we don’t believe in divorce . But they believe in cheating 😂🤣
This girl is a rare precious diamond.vinod is one in a one hundred million lucky person.she is so true and honest to her mind and understanding.make sure protect this gem and make her happy allways.good luck for both.
What a special love story!! I think that most women (myself included) have the mindset that we need to wait around for the man to pursue us. This is a great reminder that we can be the hero of our own love story ❤
I was prone to think that way too! Like, that's how it should be! That's what movies have always told me. If HE doesn't put in all that fight and effort all the time, HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO ME 🤦♀️ But then I thought that wait why wouldn't it apply to me too! If he's having a hard time and an emotional crisis, why shouldn't it be ME who'll fight for us both. If I ever want him to fight for me when I'm at my lowest low, shouldn't I be able to show the same love and understanding towards him 🥰 and to be honest, even though our relationship is basically based on my fight, he's also had to do a lot for me! All that bureaucratic battle and just being there for me when I was sick for years and had a breakdown after my dad's death. But yes, we girls should show our strength more too! Because we're seriously fighters 😊
What Vinod should find most cherishable is your tenacity, risk taking, adventure and never give up attitude. These qualities are far more important in real life than any other qualities such as brains or beauties. You are an inspiration for the whole generation. God bless both of you and you both stay happy forever..
I smiled and cried at the same time while listening to your story. I was in a long distance relationship with a girl for 8 years. She’s my wife and the mother of our 2 grown kids today. I’m 48, imagine what we’d have gone through then. If you’re convinced that someone is right for you, you’re going to do just everything possible. I’m so happy for you two and the third who’s due to multiply your joys manifolds. May God bless you with bliss, wealth, and togetherness.
That sounds so lovely, Manu! Thank you for sharing :) I can't wait for the day that we also are in our 80s and grandparents and all! I can only imagine the difficulties of long distance back in the day. My friend in Finland once shared a story with me about her aunt who had only talked to an American man a few times on the phone before travelling to the US for love. They married too! It was always my encouragement to follow my heart too.
Hi Johanna your commitment and tenacity towards love has inspired millions globally and it clearly shows your Viking sprit lives on in you ,hopefully the world can become a better place in the near future with stories such as yours. Please continue to inspire.
We indian are really shy at PDA 🤣🤣 I could feel Vinod, when he just shaked hand in the end. Feeling shy in front of Camera. You are really the Hero of the story indeed, otherwise things could have been different. Really admire the courage you had to stay solo in India. 🤩
I find it so strange that quite many Indian people who have commented think that Vinod is cold and doesn't care about me, because like you said, they should know that you're not supposed to show affection in public in India! :D
@@JohannaNorth Exactly, in Indian culture, PDA is mostly for movies, but when in public, it is considered taboo, some conservative people may even call this ruining our culture. And this naturally makes us hesitant to do PDA, even though we want to do so. 🤣🤣
I feel like you could actually make a movie out of this. You could tell that she is absolutely glowing telling that story and was persistent. When you meet a woman like that you know she's a keeper. What an inspiring story.
Johanna I watched the whole story....actually reality. I must say you are one brave girl. Yes, it is indeed strange to see an indian who speaks very less and a Finn who does all the talking. God bless you both with lots and lots of health, peace and understanding. May you be blessed with all the happiness as parents very soon.
Thanks for your fake encouragement but have you seen her face? I bet many men would have rejected her in her own country finland. That's why she was so desperate for man. She knew that no finlander is going to propose her with his right mind . She saw the opportunity to grab quality men from poor country like india. Honesty if any man had done the same thing (flying directly to home of women) he would have get called stalker , creep , desperate. Why aren't we doing same for this girl ? Just because shes white ? Indians are so obsessed with white people that they have become unable to differentiate between desperate and genuine love ? What a shame.
@@bendover-bz4bc It really hurts to read your comment .its so wrong to judge someone by looks or color. If you believe in God or Destiny then this is destiny. She seems to be a very loving women and the families love will make her even more beautiful. She is Gods creation and she is beautiful the way she is.
You are brave and the hero of this story! It is not easy to convince Indian men and I admire your determination. Vinod is very lucky to have a wife who truly loves him and even left your country for him. God bless you and your family!
What a sweet love story! Johanna is sure the hero here while Vinod is the blushing Indian bride. I hope Vinod loves you & cherishes the way you followed your heart. He appears very reluctant & lukewarm so far. Come on Yaar, commit your heart fully, Johanna deserves more.
Are you joking - or just not perceiving how intensely deep Vinod's love is? He is so humble that he would have preferred a life of loneliness rather than impose a completely new lifestyle on a modern European woman! "Still waters run deep" is what I was taught from childhood. We can only pray that, when they are old, the Good Lord will take Vino first.... He would grieve too deeply to lose his Johanna now that he knows her commitment is complete.
The love and affection I saw in your eyes truly evolves me to believe that true love has always existed and will be! You are the best example of it! May yours life be filled with more happiness and love,,,,,Love from Bangladesh:)🇧🇩
That was really such an incredible story of how you guys met and I was amazed at your determination of making the relationship work. To tell you the truth, as you related the events that took place, I felt that it could actually be made into a movie for all to watch on the silver screen. I was absolutely moved by the way you put all your emotions into recounting the events that led you back to India on a one way ticket, bent on meeting up with Vinod, the love of your life. Would you believe it if I told you that I’m a 67 year old grandmother, married to my husband for the last 45 years and yet I could feel so drawn to your story and so glad to hear how it worked out in the end. I bet you must have been going through an emotional roller coaster all that while up to the point when you mentioned that Vinod had eventually referred to himself as your boyfriend. God bless you Johanna plus Vinod and Anika as well. It’s almost 3.30 am here in Singapore and I just had to say something as I truly enjoyed this video of you guys heading back to Helsinki
one of the most beautiful love stories I've ever heard.....congratz to both of u esp Johanna for putting in so much of effort...very few girls would go to to this length to find their Prince Charming...u guys r lucky😘
They appears to be making perfect couple..one is very calm and introvert and other is very talkative, outspoken and extrovert type of personality. Wishing them all the best in their lives.
Johanna being a foreigner u r a true inspiration for many Indian girls on how to believe and trust in love and moreover in urself. Most importantly how to save a relationship. U r living example of the power of manifestation and optimism.
After 1st seeing one of the baby videos & becoming captivated, this intro to your relationship makes for a more meaningful start to following the complete chronological sequence Johanna. Being also in a mixed relationship in our senior years, without children, I thank you for this emotional journey. You are truly blessed. Be well, & stay safe.
How really determined and stubborn you are!! Good for you Johanna, you do get what you really want!! Your story is unique and thank you for sharing it with us
Wow, Johanna, you are ABSOLUTELY adorable!! Actually the 2 of you are. I came across your video as it popped up in my feed and I am so happy it did! There is so much negativity on social media these days and it’s so nice and refreshing to have come across your videos as they make me smile.
That makes a great story of craziness, uncertainty, love, affection and finally eternal bonding between two souls. And now that you have little Annika who reminds me of my own daughter who is grown up and studying in IIT, it is like heaven on earth. Watching little Annika immitating her Dadi is absolutely mindblowing. May god bless you all.
Johanna,you are Real Gem of a person!! Nobody I repeat nobody in this world would have gon this length to fetch a person back .You are realy Great!! God Bless You!! I must say Vinod is very lucky to get a girl ,caring ,loving ,paying lots of attention to him and his parents. Yours is a fairy tale that happened just because of you.....true you are the Hero of the story.Vinod, please take care of Johanna.She is a Gem in your life Even precious than Kohinoor!! Aashirwads to you Both !!
@@JohannaNorth After I seen your blog,I have lots of respect for you. A solo leady from Finland came to India ,staying at Vishakhapatnam(less tourist place)for 6 months to find her love ..🙏🙏🙏🙏.in India there is song your hubby may know (saat samander par karke tere piche piche aageyi..)and you made this song correct.
@@pkrath1986 Dear Pritham.... Visakhapatnam is not a less tourist place...It has many tourist attractions as par with any North Indian tourist place....including many clean beautiful beaches, hill stations, jungle safari, caves and even India's only sub marine museum...come down and experience it dear before committing...
Firstly, this goes to Vinod, "Mate, you have got someone who is one in a million! You are very introvert but at the same time it clearly shows how much you LOVE her. Women do expect certain things from their men. Plz open up, I'm sure you are gonna ROCK. Life is meant to be celebrated and you are one of the luckiest guy to have such an inspiring and supportive wife. This is the true colour of life." Johanna, you are truly an inspiration, hands down. Both of you are meant for each other. PROUD to see this video. Best wishes to new member :)
I am not good either when it comes to putting my thoughts and emotions in to words.. All i can say is i watched this entire video with a smile on my face.. You are a superwoman Johanna ❤️
Thank you so much, Shalima! I'm so happy you enjoyed the video :) And not all people need to be able to express emotions that much in words, even though it's of course good to be able to talk to someone! But I find that many Indian people especially express their love by doing small things to the other person for example. Like my father-in-law would go to all lengths to get me any food that I might feel like having :D
I love your love story and the conversations and your English pronunciation. I have a very good friend from Finland. Wishing you both all the best. He is a lucky guy indeed. I am sure you will be happy to get out of that freezing weather in Finland.
Your Proactive ness is just unstoppable. Deep down you knew it had to work. Even though Vinod was a skeptic and felt irrational. My dear Vinod she is a keeper.She believed in you when you didn’t know you believed in yourself. Such are instincts. Enjoy life.
Johanna 😍 Accidentally found ur channel yesterday , and now it become my favourite channel ❤I'm from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 I also had a love affair with a guy from Kumbakonam , India who came to do his higer studies in Sri Lanka. We had unforgettable memories and in 2017 he went back to India. But again in 2019 he comeback to here for meet my parents and disscuss about the wedding . But my father didnt like this. So we breakup, but still we are talking . So , Vinod ur so lucky to have a such a humble soul ♥️😍 god bless u all ❤🌠
The one static in your whole story, is that both of you were honest to one another. Logical or illogical doesnot matter - what matters was honesty behind your actions . In india we say - if you take on anything with pure heart and honesty - even destiny works to manifest that for you ... Good on you and good for the both of you . God bless and wish you a very happy and fulfilling married life .
There is no logic or rationality in love, if there is rationality then there is no love ! Hero is obviously the girl from Finland & wish you both all the best, may Divine bless you both🙏
Great! Twists and Turns like "Jab We Met". Wish no more anxieties! Only happy rides! You will love India! But, to do that, you have to understand cross cross undercurrents in Indian culture. You have to have patience! But you have already earned an experience while convincing Vinod! The story seems to be like a thoughtful CEO meets a courageous CEO. You both are extraordinary. And I do not believe that there was madness of passion or attraction that generally common love stories possess. Enjoy! And see if you could contribute to the thinking of Indian youth about what love means.
Johanna, thank you for sharing your love story. I'm sure your baby is beautiful. My first boyfriend was indian. We broke up for various reasons. He trying calling after we broke up but I told him not to contact me anymore. I really loved him but I just couldn't see our relationship working out. Years later, I think I gave up on our relationship to soon. But, life is life & we've both are living our life. Your story is so aspiring. Blessings.♥️
What an amazing love story! I am in love with someone in India whom I haven’t met in person…but we chat daily and have done video calls. I found your video while searching for videos about life in India. I don’t know what my future holds but life know is pretty exciting. Thank you for putting this video out there
If you want to travel whole world just visit India...you will find Silicon valley ( Bangalore), Switzerland in Northeast India, yakuts or Serbia in Himalaya , hot climate in Rajasthan, Amazon forest in North East India, Beach and ocean in Goa , Kerala, oldest existing architecture in both north and south india...but you have to be strong to be in a long distance relationship..🙏
This is the first video of yours I have watched since then I have been hooked. To be honest I was very intrigued and found it to be short.....I just decided to look at it for a second time after a few months of course. To my surprise I enjoyed it so much. I found it so refreshing, guess it's because I know so much about you guys....keep posting
Hello Johanna, Vinod and Annika baby.. Absolutely beautiful and soulful video...perfect narration...never ever felt that it was long...kinda liked all the intricate details to be honest...so happy for you guys ...have a wonderful life full of adventures... P.S- I wonder how Annika would react when she is completely able to comprehend all the things the universe brought together for her existence...
Vinod on Johanna showing up in his town on a one 💕 way ticket: Not the most rational, logical thing to do... Me: Nothing rational or logical about love, good man. So glad you stepped past the fear to realize that and accept the challenge of Johanna's deep emotional intelligence. How much you would have lost, dear Vinod, without her stunning and admirable tenacity and firm belief in the two of you together. Really, this is a story you ought to pitch, not to Bollywood, but to Netflix. But have it produced in India in Bollywood style. I hope you start manifesting & working on that as a serious business/life plan.
Aww thank you so much for your beautiful words, Lynda! I'm so touched 🥰 and Vinod is a forever fan of your comments! We're probably quite at the extremes with Vinod when it comes to emotions. He is actually very caring and considerate in his own way, but has a very theoretical/mathematical mind and tries to apply the same kind of logical thinking to emotions too. Whereas to me love makes complete sense in all its craziness and to me it was honestly the most "logical" solution I saw, to come back to India I mean 🥰 I very much hope to have a book or a movie of our love story one day! You're right, I need to start manifesting that too when the time is right 😊🙏
@@JohannaNorth I am fully aware (intuitively) that Vinod is a caring and considerate man. He telegraphs it in numerous subtle ways during the brief appearances he makes in front of the camera as well as some of the utterances from behind the camera. However, most men are raised to suppress emotion and are rewarded for their (so called) rational and logical approach. However, fear--probably one of the most intense and paralysing emotions--often triumphs over and kills love.The trouble is, men (and women as well) often fail to recognize that by sticking to the rational road they may dismiss love (emotion) and cling to fear (another emotion) instead. Ironic as there is absolutely nothing logical or rational about that.
@@lynda.grace.14 100% agree with everything you wrote! I hope we would all learn to follow our hearts AND share those feelings at least with the people closest to us :)
Generally an Indian couple gets married, it’s a life time togetherness as per our Indian culture. It’s amazing to know that you decided to have a lifetime relationship similar to Indian culture. Wishing you both the best of luck to live in a long-standing life relationship.
According to the Hindu epic Ramayana, Sita was a princess married to Prince Rama . Though born and brought up in a princely family, Sita gave up palace life for accompanying her husband Rama to a hardship life in the forest, an action that he was forced to undergo. Her complete confidence in him and dependence on his love, her loyalty and steadfast devotion to Rama, even in times when Rama, due to social compulsions, had to indulge in unjust treatment to her, is the most touching story, that I have ever read. That story was from an ancient era. But, in the 21st century, can we see an echo of that story in watching your video? Naina
Ramayana of valmiki ends with Lord Ram and Sita coming back to Ayodya with grand welcome arranged by Brother bharat. Vishnu avatars will not allow their descendants on this planet. There is no luv and kush existed. Uttarakanda of Ramayana is fake.
Vinod you are indeed such a fortunate person to have this wonderfully sincere and loving person in your life who has the grit and fortitude to fulfill her dreams. I wish you both a long happy and joyous life together. She truly loves you very much and was willing to assimilate and adjust go life in India.
Wow. A fine scholar told not to interfere with the forces of nature including love. Just giving up ourselves to the flow of the love force is simply beautiful.
Just saw this vedio and really shocked to understand True Love does exists. Many Many hats off to lovely lady with so determination mind and braveheart to risk her life for her true love 👏👏👏👏
Persons like me do not listen to love stories at my age. But I got curious and watched this video. I did like your story. Both of you appear to be wonderful people. Stay together and be happy.
I can totally understand his situation of cutting you off from life as things wouldn’t have worked between you two in India. As an Indian I can assume that vinod had loved you through all this time but couldn’t lead the way to future due to risks involved. Love from India😍
WOW!!! APPEARANCES REALLY ARE DECEPTIVE...Never thought u would be so EMOTIONALLY STRONG...U really don't seem to be so...the LAW OF ATTRACTION really did work in your favour...coz u did believe in it... God bless you Johanna...u really are the HERO of your relationship & deserve all the CREDIT & more for your perseverance which is unfortunately mistaken in today's world as Stubbornness... Prayers & Blessings to u, Vinod, Annika, ur in-laws, Sangeeta, ur mom & ur sister from Mumbai, India... Namaste 🙏
Yes, u are the Hero of yr love story.In most of the love stories usually a boy takes the initiative for resolving the obstacles that come in between their marriage but in yr story I find that u took the initiative to materialize the relationship to a marriage.I must say u are great, courageous and yr love story is just like a Novel or a movie which we see very often in theatres.I salute yr courage. One thing I can tell u there cannot be any breakup for rest of yr life. I watch all yr blogs. I would say u have chosen a right person as yr life partner. Vinod is a introvert person and a bit shy in nature but appears to be a responsible husband who will never let u cry for any reason whatsoever.
Thank you, sir 😊🙏 Vinod is definitely just like you described him and these are qualities that I value immensely. And I'm also sure that there's nothing to break us up anymore, because we've already survived so much in our relationship! We are a perfectly balanced match and there for each other when the other person needs us the most ❤️ which I feel both women and men need to do each other in a true partnership! Sometimes I fight for him, sometimes he'll do the same for me 😊
Indian from Finland . Awesome to experience the whole journey of yours , almost seen each vlogs of yours at this point. And this is 4th time watching this particular one 😍 Please let me know or connect me if you want anything to bring for you from Finland to India 😊 It was spectacular to watch how finnish people spends their Christmas 🎄. It was a treat to watch how Annika got all attentions in your family from finnish side as well ❤ Much love for little and cute annika. And love for you both And cheers to your honesty and bravery 👍
You are the hero and he a heroine. You put in all the fight and the sacrifices and he is just a laid back guy who didn't fight or put in the efforts. 🙂
Oh!! What a dramatic story, I remembered "Surya S/o Krishnan" movie while listening your story. Really your craziness and madness towards him made you to find your destiny in "The City of destiny". Thanks to vinod, finally for accepting precious one like you as girlfriend and make you as his wife now.
I hope you won't be put off from watching this vlog due to its length, my dear friends!

She fought for him. Damnnn girl you rock. Wish you both the best in life.
It's a magical love story! Johanna and Vinod, you're a perfect couple. Much love to you both and your little munchkin♥️
Thank you so much! Makes me so happy to hear that ☺️💞
You are brave and the hero of this story! It is not easy to convince Indian men and I admire your determination. Vinod is very lucky to have a wife who truly loves him and even left your country for him. God bless you and your family!
I'm so grateful to have found your channel in 2021. You just keep getting more and more beautiful every day.
What a sweet love story!
Johanna is sure the hero here while Vinod is the blushing Indian bride.
I hope Vinod loves you & cherishes the way you followed your heart.
He appears very reluctant & lukewarm so far.
Come on Yaar, commit your heart fully, Johanna deserves more.
Are you joking - or just not perceiving how intensely deep Vinod's love is? He is so humble that he would have preferred a life of loneliness rather than impose a completely new lifestyle on a modern European woman! "Still waters run deep" is what I was taught from childhood. We can only pray that, when they are old, the Good Lord will take Vino first.... He would grieve too deeply to lose his Johanna now that he knows her commitment is complete.
The love and affection I saw in your eyes truly evolves me to believe that true love has always existed and will be! You are the best example of it! May yours life be filled with more happiness and love,,,,,Love from Bangladesh:)🇧🇩
That was really such an incredible story of how you guys met and I was amazed at your determination of making the relationship work. To tell you the truth, as you related the events that took place, I felt that it could actually be made into a movie for all to watch on the silver screen. I was absolutely moved by the way you put all your emotions into recounting the events that led you back to India on a one way ticket, bent on meeting up with Vinod, the love of your life. Would you believe it if I told you that I’m a 67 year old grandmother, married to my husband for the last 45 years and yet I could feel so drawn to your story and so glad to hear how it worked out in the end. I bet you must have been going through an emotional roller coaster all that while up to the point when you mentioned that Vinod had eventually referred to himself as your boyfriend. God bless you Johanna plus Vinod and Anika as well. It’s almost 3.30 am here in Singapore and I just had to say something as I truly enjoyed this video of you guys heading back to Helsinki
one of the most beautiful love stories I've ever heard.....congratz to both of u esp Johanna for putting in so much of effort...very few girls would go to to this length to find their Prince Charming...u guys r lucky😘
They appears to be making perfect couple..one is very calm and introvert and other is very talkative, outspoken and extrovert type of personality. Wishing them all the best in their lives.
Johanna being a foreigner u r a true inspiration for many Indian girls on how to believe and trust in love and moreover in urself. Most importantly how to save a relationship. U r living example of the power of manifestation and optimism.
After 1st seeing one of the baby videos & becoming captivated, this intro to your relationship makes for a more meaningful start to following the complete chronological sequence Johanna. Being also in a mixed relationship in our senior years, without children, I thank you for this emotional journey. You are truly blessed. Be well, & stay safe.
Vinod sitting calmly and so patient kills me like he is so serious 😂but lovely story❤️
Thank you so much! His seriousness is definitely the cutest AND MOST FRUSTRATING thing all at the same time :D
How really determined and stubborn you are!! Good for you Johanna, you do get what you really want!! Your story is unique and thank you for sharing it with us

Just finished watching your interesting journey.
Hats off to you Mama.
You are Indian by soul and nature
All the best to you
Thank you so much! 😊 Definitely I have 50% Indian in me 🥰
Such a beautiful love story! I have to get to work now so I will finish when I get back. Sending love to you both from the UK 🇬🇧
Wow, Johanna, you are ABSOLUTELY adorable!! Actually the 2 of you are. I came across your video as it popped up in my feed and I am so happy it did! There is so much negativity on social media these days and it’s so nice and refreshing to have come across your videos as they make me smile.
Nobody I repeat literally nobody can ever love like you. He is extremely lucky to have found you. Girl you are precious!!
That makes a great story of craziness, uncertainty, love, affection and finally eternal bonding between two souls. And now that you have little Annika who reminds me of my own daughter who is grown up and studying in IIT, it is like heaven on earth. Watching little Annika immitating her Dadi is absolutely mindblowing. May god bless you all.
What an amazing love story...you guys were destined to be with each other ..
GOD bless
it is a reason why Visag is called the City of Destiny!! I wish you brilliant future because you meant to be
together !
Girl is real gem bro don't ever leave her in entire life
Such a magic, this makes me to believe even more stronger in love, energy and manifestation. Thanks Johanna and Vinod. Have a happy life ❤️
Johanna,you are Real Gem of a person!!
Nobody I repeat nobody in this world would have gon this length to fetch a person back .You are realy Great!!
God Bless You!! I must say Vinod is very lucky to get a girl ,caring ,loving ,paying lots of attention to him and his parents.

Aashirwads to you Both !!
Such a beautiful love story! Stay blessed Johanna and Vinod! Together you are so cute.
Thank you so much Bindu 🥰
There must be a Bollywood movie should be done from this love story..you and only you Johanna the only star of this story.hats off to your dedication
Thank you so much, Pritam 😊🙏 I'm definitely open for the indian movie industries contacting me for movie collaboration! 🤩🍿
@@JohannaNorth After I seen your blog,I have lots of respect for you. A solo leady from Finland came to India ,staying at Vishakhapatnam(less tourist place)for 6 months to find her love ..🙏🙏🙏🙏.in India there is song your hubby may know (saat samander par karke tere piche piche aageyi..)and you made this song correct.
Love from Himalaya. The title
Mam you should watch Malayalam movie kilometers and kilometers , kind a relatable to your story.
@@pkrath1986 Dear Pritham.... Visakhapatnam is not a less tourist place...It has many tourist attractions as par with any North Indian tourist place....including many clean beautiful beaches, hill stations, jungle safari, caves and even India's only sub marine museum...come down and experience it dear before committing...
Firstly, this goes to Vinod, "Mate, you have got someone who is one in a million! You are very introvert but at the same time it clearly shows how much you LOVE her. Women do expect certain things from their men. Plz open up, I'm sure you are gonna ROCK. Life is meant to be celebrated and you are one of the luckiest guy to have such an inspiring and supportive wife. This is the true colour of life."
Johanna, you are truly an inspiration, hands down. Both of you are meant for each other. PROUD to see this video.
Best wishes to new member :)
Your a great human being , lover , wife , mom , daughter in law ♥️
Respect to you
I am not good either when it comes to putting my thoughts and emotions in to words.. All i can say is i watched this entire video with a smile on my face.. You are a superwoman Johanna ❤️
Thank you so much, Shalima! I'm so happy you enjoyed the video :) And not all people need to be able to express emotions that much in words, even though it's of course good to be able to talk to someone! But I find that many Indian people especially express their love by doing small things to the other person for example. Like my father-in-law would go to all lengths to get me any food that I might feel like having :D
Thank you Johanna. Loved your story. All the best and congratulations!
Thank YOU so much Margaret 🥰
this wait is more exciting than a Steven speilberg movie...😁,,,,, yipeeedoooo
I love your love story and the conversations and your English pronunciation. I have a very good friend from Finland. Wishing you both all the best. He is a lucky guy indeed. I am sure you will be happy to get out of that freezing weather in Finland.
Johanna, I'm seriously impressed......one way ticket to Vishakhapatnam when the guy was'n't even responding to your message!!
Really !!!!🙄
dar sabko lagta hai...... par dar ke aage jeet hai
You are the epitome of a strong, independent woman. I've never heard a love story like this before. Breathtaking beautiful love story 😍🥰
Thank you! 😊 I definitely do my best to be a strong, independent woman despite my fears and insecurities. Hope to inspire others by this too :)
Their are many love story most of with indian🇮🇳
Paeveen dhanda
Nope
@Dharmic Fire Wow I feel sorry for you bro? Who wronged you? You seem sexually frustrated
You have a lot of courage, determination and strength. Very admirable. I think you could do anything you set your mind to doing.
Thank you so much! :) I think most people would be able to do the same, if they just decide and then go for it with their hearts.
The girl is the hero of this story. She is stubborn like me in love. Infact, I am infinitely stubborn in love. Cute couple. May God bless this couple
Aww thank you 😊
I Have A Maximum Respect For The Lady She So honest
Your Proactive ness is just unstoppable. Deep down you knew it had to work. Even though Vinod was a skeptic and felt irrational. My dear Vinod she is a keeper.She believed in you when you didn’t know you believed in yourself. Such are instincts. Enjoy life.
Johanna 😍 Accidentally found ur channel yesterday , and now it become my favourite channel ❤I'm from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 I also had a love affair with a guy from Kumbakonam , India who came to do his higer studies in Sri Lanka. We had unforgettable memories and in 2017 he went back to India. But again in 2019 he comeback to here for meet my parents and disscuss about the wedding . But my father didnt like this. So we breakup, but still we are talking . So , Vinod ur so lucky to have a such a humble soul ♥️😍 god bless u all ❤🌠
That's Sad.
Vinod should love and respect the lady forever who have left her family for him...
What an amazing story! Miracles do happen. Wish you all the best.
Girl, U got me tears in my eyes. Love is a most beautiful thing in the world.
women like her is an ultimate gem that any man can have in his life.
Creep
@Dharmic Fire what??
@Dharmic Fire u talkin abt the one who commented frst? Why?? He simply said that she is a gem
She is a gem. Please ignore that negative comment below. Blessings.💝
The one static in your whole story, is that both of you were honest to one another. Logical or illogical doesnot matter - what matters was honesty behind your actions .
In india we say - if you take on anything with pure heart and honesty - even destiny works to manifest that for you ... Good on you and good for the both of you . God bless and wish you a very happy and fulfilling married life .
That is such a lovely message and very true also.
There is no logic or rationality in love, if there is rationality then there is no love !
Hero is obviously the girl from Finland & wish you both all the best, may Divine bless you both🙏
Great! Twists and Turns like "Jab We Met".
Wish no more anxieties! Only happy rides!
You will love India! But, to do that, you have to understand cross cross undercurrents in Indian culture. You have to have patience!
But you have already earned an experience while convincing Vinod!
The story seems to be like a thoughtful CEO meets a courageous CEO.
You both are extraordinary. And I do not believe that there was madness of passion or attraction that generally common love stories possess.
Enjoy! And see if you could contribute to the thinking of Indian youth about what love means.
I admire her that she had enough confidence to say, this man will be mine, and it's a matter of time, he will be mine. lol
Johanna, thank you for sharing your love story. I'm sure your baby is beautiful. My first boyfriend was indian. We broke up for various reasons. He trying calling after we broke up but I told him not to contact me anymore. I really loved him but I just couldn't see our relationship working out. Years later, I think I gave up on our relationship to soon. But, life is life & we've both are living our life. Your story is so aspiring. Blessings.♥️
The girl is a real hero who follows her heart and make her dream come true all the best for your future
What an amazing love story! I am in love with someone in India whom I haven’t met in person…but we chat daily and have done video calls. I found your video while searching for videos about life in India. I don’t know what my future holds but life know is pretty exciting. Thank you for putting this video out there
If you want to travel whole world just visit India...you will find Silicon valley ( Bangalore), Switzerland in Northeast India, yakuts or Serbia in Himalaya , hot climate in Rajasthan, Amazon forest in North East India, Beach and ocean in Goa , Kerala, oldest existing architecture in both north and south india...but you have to be strong to be in a long distance relationship..🙏
Very Beautiful Story.. You are the Hero in This❤️.. God Bless Your Family Always 🥰
This is the first video of yours I have watched since then I have been hooked. To be honest I was very intrigued and found it to be short.....I just decided to look at it for a second time after a few months of course. To my surprise I enjoyed it so much. I found it so refreshing, guess it's because I know so much about you guys....keep posting
Hello Johanna, Vinod and Annika baby.. Absolutely beautiful and soulful video...perfect narration...never ever felt that it was long...kinda liked all the intricate details to be honest...so happy for you guys ...have a wonderful life full of adventures...
P.S- I wonder how Annika would react when she is completely able to comprehend all the things the universe brought together for her existence...
Your optimism and hope gives me hope for life, Johanna.. Loved listening to your story 😊😇
Vinod on Johanna showing up in his town on a one 💕 way ticket: Not the most rational, logical thing to do...
Me: Nothing rational or logical about love, good man. So glad you stepped past the fear to realize that and accept the challenge of Johanna's deep emotional intelligence. How much you would have lost, dear Vinod, without her stunning and admirable tenacity and firm belief in the two of you together.
Really, this is a story you ought to pitch, not to Bollywood, but to Netflix. But have it produced in India in Bollywood style. I hope you start manifesting & working on that as a serious business/life plan.
Aww thank you so much for your beautiful words, Lynda! I'm so touched 🥰 and Vinod is a forever fan of your comments!
We're probably quite at the extremes with Vinod when it comes to emotions. He is actually very caring and considerate in his own way, but has a very theoretical/mathematical mind and tries to apply the same kind of logical thinking to emotions too. Whereas to me love makes complete sense in all its craziness and to me it was honestly the most "logical" solution I saw, to come back to India I mean 🥰
I very much hope to have a book or a movie of our love story one day! You're right, I need to start manifesting that too when the time is right 😊🙏
@@JohannaNorth I am fully aware (intuitively) that Vinod is a caring and considerate man. He telegraphs it in numerous subtle ways during the brief appearances he makes in front of the camera as well as some of the utterances from behind the camera. However, most men are raised to suppress emotion and are rewarded for their (so called) rational and logical approach.
However, fear--probably one of the most intense and paralysing emotions--often triumphs over and kills love.The trouble is, men (and women as well) often fail to recognize that by sticking to the rational road they may dismiss love (emotion) and cling to fear (another emotion) instead. Ironic as there is absolutely nothing logical or rational about that.
@@lynda.grace.14 100% agree with everything you wrote! I hope we would all learn to follow our hearts AND share those feelings at least with the people closest to us :)
Generally an Indian couple gets married, it’s a life time togetherness as per our Indian culture. It’s amazing to know that you decided to have a lifetime relationship similar to Indian culture.
Wishing you both the best of luck to live in a long-standing life relationship.
Amazing love story . A perfect script to make a movie . May God bless you for a long & happy life .
According to the Hindu epic Ramayana, Sita was a princess married to Prince Rama . Though born and brought up in a princely family, Sita gave up palace life for accompanying her husband Rama to a hardship life in the forest, an action that he was forced to undergo. Her complete confidence in him and dependence on his love, her loyalty and steadfast devotion to Rama, even in times when Rama, due to social compulsions, had to indulge in unjust treatment to her, is the most touching story, that I have ever read. That story was from an ancient era. But, in the 21st century, can we see an echo of that story in watching your video?
Naina
I love that story too :)
Yes. You are absolutely right 👍❤️
Sitas life with Rama was no fairytale. She was banished from Ramas life with her two children. Whats so romantic in this patrirchial story
Ramayana of valmiki ends with Lord Ram and Sita coming back to Ayodya with grand welcome arranged by Brother bharat. Vishnu avatars will not allow their descendants on this planet. There is no luv and kush existed. Uttarakanda of Ramayana is fake.
So much honesty build up so much love that led to marriage and now a beautiful baby girl. Congratulations to Vinod and Johanna❤️❤️
Vinod you are indeed such a fortunate person to have this wonderfully sincere and loving person in your life who has the grit and fortitude to fulfill her dreams. I wish you both a long happy and joyous life together. She truly loves you very much and was willing to assimilate and adjust go life in India.
Wow. A fine scholar told not to interfere with the forces of nature including love. Just giving up ourselves to the flow of the love force is simply beautiful.
Ohhh that's so beautiful! 🥰
Just saw this vedio and really shocked to understand True Love does exists. Many Many hats off to lovely lady with so determination mind and braveheart to risk her life for her true love 👏👏👏👏
Persons like me do not listen to love stories at my age. But I got curious and watched this video. I did like your story. Both of you appear to be wonderful people. Stay together and be happy.
I can totally understand his situation of cutting you off from life as things wouldn’t have worked between you two in India. As an Indian I can assume that vinod had loved you through all this time but couldn’t lead the way to future due to risks involved. Love from India😍
Both are made for each other, may God always shower his blessings to you both and for the little one..
Impossible is just an openion...very touching
Thank you 😊🙏
Life is opinion.
-Marcus Aurelius
WOW!!! APPEARANCES REALLY ARE DECEPTIVE...Never thought u would be so EMOTIONALLY STRONG...U really don't seem to be so...the LAW OF ATTRACTION really did work in your favour...coz u did believe in it... God bless you Johanna...u really are the HERO of your relationship & deserve all the CREDIT & more for your perseverance which is unfortunately mistaken in today's world as Stubbornness... Prayers & Blessings to u, Vinod, Annika, ur in-laws, Sangeeta, ur mom & ur sister from Mumbai, India... Namaste 🙏
From hindsight....you are the winner! Hahaha! Very strong and determined woman! Meant for each other!
Yes, u are the Hero of yr love story.In most of the love stories usually a boy takes the initiative for resolving the obstacles that come in between their marriage but in yr story I find that u took the initiative to materialize the relationship to a marriage.I must say u are great, courageous and yr love story is just like a Novel or a movie which we see very often in theatres.I salute yr courage. One thing I can tell u there cannot be any breakup for rest of yr life. I watch all yr blogs. I would say u have chosen a right person as yr life partner. Vinod is a introvert person and a bit shy in nature but appears to be a responsible husband who will never let u cry for any reason whatsoever.
Thank you, sir 😊🙏 Vinod is definitely just like you described him and these are qualities that I value immensely. And I'm also sure that there's nothing to break us up anymore, because we've already survived so much in our relationship! We are a perfectly balanced match and there for each other when the other person needs us the most ❤️ which I feel both women and men need to do each other in a true partnership! Sometimes I fight for him, sometimes he'll do the same for me 😊
Indian from Finland .
Awesome to experience the whole journey of yours , almost seen each vlogs of yours at this point.
And this is 4th time watching this particular one 😍
Please let me know or connect me if you want anything to bring for you from Finland to India 😊
It was spectacular to watch how finnish people spends their Christmas 🎄.
It was a treat to watch how Annika got all attentions in your family from finnish side as well ❤
Much love for little and cute annika.
And love for you both
And cheers to your honesty and bravery 👍
You are genius!!!! What efforts! God bless you.
You are very brave and special person. Best thing about you is that you make your loved ones feel so special. Love watching your vlogs from Canada
Thank you! That is so kind of you :)
You are the hero and he a heroine. You put in all the fight and the sacrifices and he is just a laid back guy who didn't fight or put in the efforts. 🙂
The best couple, who loved each other from the bottom of the ❤️. God bless you both
Oh!! What a dramatic story, I remembered "Surya S/o Krishnan" movie while listening your story. Really your craziness and madness towards him made you to find your destiny in "The City of destiny". Thanks to vinod, finally for accepting precious one like you as girlfriend and make you as his wife now.
So funny when Vinod called her a stalker!! 🤣
Very beautiful maam :)
Happy mummy :)
Thanks to the technology innovation, the gentleman and lady found each other.
One of the most Beautiful love story....i heard seriously.
Thank you ☺️🙏
