Anika is so precious. The way she understood and accepted dada and dadi leaving. Waving and kissing altough she was sad is so intriguing. Bless her and you all as well.
So happy to see you all…..was missing you and Annika 🤗🤗. Annika is speaking so beautifully in English, Finnish and Hindi. At this age children are likes sponges, absorbing everything around them. It’s fantastic that you and Vinod travel with her and help her discover so much. And so much of joy on her face when she saw her “mummi”. God bless!! Grandparents-grandchild bond is so special!!
Hi yes I feel the same. Re it's great how Vinod and Johanna take Annika traveling and I also love Annika's bonds with other family members. This is coming from my perspective of living as a foreigner in india in an Indian family homestay. I feel that the depth of Indian culture and the places in India are so endearing and totally magnificent. Also it's a wonderful opportunity for Annika to be exposed to both Finnish culture and Indian culture. That little girl is experience a cultural melting pot due to the exposures. And she's is such a thriving and happy little girl ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Found this channel by accident but during these times when international relations all over the world seem to be getting worse it really warms my heart and brings me hope to see two people from very far apart countries build a family together
Oh this warms my heart too ❤. I myself am a foreigner in india living with a local host family and the inter cultural relations are magical. We view the world as a cultural melting pot ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Couldn’t agree more. Grandparents really are the greatest gift❤. So good to see your adorable mom again. Can’t wait for future vlogs of her travels around south India.
As an Indian living in Finland, this video filled me with so much joy. Also it's amazing and how Anikka is learning to speak Finnish, English and Hindi all together. And those Moomin toys are so cute 🙂
Such a darling video. 23 years ago when I was an international student in Massachusetts's, we had 2 Finnish students at Uni and we became good friends at orientation. The group was 1 Indian, 2 Finns, 1 Guatemalan and at times 1 Turk. We would spend some evening at Juans place playing nintendo and some nights at my place for dinner and movies from blockbuster. I cooked them Indian food three times a week and they enjoyed it. Good memories, hearing you talk in Finnish and English brough back memories.
Yes, for children grandparents are the best gift. She cried so much for her grandparents. This is the real love for grandparents. She is so excited for her grandmother and how she showed her love for her,in the train and while opening the gifts she received. Loved to see you all enjoying ❤
So moving, so delighted to see Annika's maternal grandmother again. Annika got overwhelmed with all those 🎁 ❤ Enjoy your precious time with your beloved ones❤
I just stumbled upon this video and couldn't help but feel a connection. My husband is from Ramanthali in Payyanur, and seeing your videos from Ramanthali and the one where Annika took her first steps on the beach brought back so many memories. Now, watching her as a curious toddler is heartwarming and brought a big smile to my face. It's amazing how your videos connect us to the beauty of life and the shared experiences we have, even miles apart. We are currently living outside India, and watching your videos makes me miss Ramanthali and Payyanur even more. It's not just a place; it's home and such a beautiful one at that. Thank you for sharing these precious moments. Sending lots of love to you and your family
Reminds me of when my parents would come visit us from India. One suitcase was just filled with all the goodies. Good to see another video. Johanna you have an absolute gift in making these vlogs. They are very peaceful and the bursts of energy from Annika are like little pops of color. You should consider making films. You vlogs remind me of the book “A child’s Christmas in Wales”. The warmth, the detail and scenery all capture the letter and spirit of the story.
Back in the day when i used to go back to Finland every year, i also always carried a backpack mostly full of masala, dal, mustard oil, coffee… granted it was all pretty much for me, but still 😅 I do wish at some point, when Annika goes to school and maybe I’ll have more time for getting a degree and work too, to start making films or documentaries rather than vlogs 😊
Grandparents are so precious! Always, loved watching your videos and now my 2 year old twin boys love watching Annika. This so much like watching my sons' excitement when their grandparents visit
This is my first time finding your channel. What a beautiful family you have! The look on mummi's face when she sees Annika, and then the scenery... just lovely. Watching from New Zealand.
I totally agree. Inter cultural families create cultural melting pots. I myself am a British woman living in India with a local family. It's magnificent 👌
BEAUTIFUL Video Johanna. Yes you are right.... Annika must feel as though all her birthdays and Christmas's have come at once with her Grandma's visit and all those beautiful gifts. Ahhhhh bless her. Bet it was lovely for u to have your mum visit ❤ I'm back in India now and recently reunited with my host family here whom I have known for 3 years. I definitely feel like a true family member here ❤
Johanna such amazing video ! Good to see you all, after long time .Anika talks so much . Has become more and more adorable cutie pie ❤❤. Looking forward to more videos with your mom
*Thank you Joanna, for such a lovely Vlog, you made my Day ! I was waiting to see Annika after Crossing major hurdles in 2023 in personal front, to start the New Year with a Bang ! Thanks to Granny, Nina & her BF for sending so many gifts to our Annika !*
Hey Johanna ,after quite long time I am watching your video,happy to watch your family again and must say little Arnica is now grown up girl. God bless you and your family 😊
Class. She is so natural... And best part is you all letting her have fun the way a child should ...😅 run amok through the train.. priceless. Next up: Finnish lessons from your mother to Annika and you know who😂 Have the best of the Christmas season and a happy healthy '24.
It's so good to see Annika's gramma from Finland come to visit again. It must be such a joy for everyone. I hope she will enjoy her new part of India this trip. Looking forward to catching up via videos J. All the adjustments of reuniting & then parting must be quite the learning curve for you all, from both sides of the family. Such a precious life lesson. Sending much love to you all as always. 💋❤.
You are really welcome from the country of lakes to country of spirituality. The laughter and her overjoyed reaction of cute and adorable daughter filled my tears as my twin daughters virtual make train compartment playground and create all sorts of ruckus.

How lucky is Annika and of course what a delight she is to her grand parents. Surprise to see empty train in India! All those gifts and she got to open all same time..!! My daughter has now warned me to bring only what they need but as soon as I returned I start getting new things😅 so lovely seeing you all after long time. Take care dear. Have pleasant stay mama ❤️ and 🥰
Mangalore was the last station on the route so thats probably why our compartment was empty. It was shocking for me too 😅 I also video call endlessly with my mom before her visits and tell her specifically what she’s allowed to buy and what not. Needless to say there’s still always a few surprises 😅😅
Annika has god gifted talent, so easy with language, with the concentration n perfection while making roti with Dadi, u can easily tell this baby girl will do something bigger in future.. Jai Sree Ram.
Just came across you video. Your little girl reminds me of my daughter at that age with the curly hair and cute accessories and dresses. She’s 15 now though. We live in Sri Lanka and it seems to be so similar to Kerala. My parents also live abroad in England so when they come it’s just like this with all the presents and food. Loved watching you video!
Am from Mangalore and the fact that you were in machali restaurant just excited me. Missed to catch a glimpse of you all. I always remember you all when I pass the station. What a treat it would be to meet Annika❤. There are cabs to the airport which make the ride comfortable.
Anika is so precious. The way she understood and accepted dada and dadi leaving. Waving and kissing altough she was sad is so intriguing. Bless her and you all as well.
Ya,heart breaking 😢

Sometimes i dont even have any idea where the heck she absorbs some things 😅
@@JohannaNorth ...the world right now is her oyster 😂❤
Soon she will learn Malayalam also naturally. Then 4 languages....❤

Am from Mangalore and the fact that you were in machali restaurant just excited me. Missed to catch a glimpse of you all. I always remember you all when I pass the station. What a treat it would be to meet Annika❤.
There are cabs to the airport which make the ride comfortable.
Sometimes we take a cab, sometimes an auto is a nice adventure 😊 Machalee is my absolute favourite Mangalore restaurant!
Just lovely
The kid will grow up very healthy as she's got the most diverse genes .
Beautiful vlog
Your baby is so cute. Your grandma enjoys being with you and your mom.
What a surprise for Annika 👧🏻👋👋👋♥️
