- In October, my mom arrived in India for her second trip here and we were finally able to welcome her into our home in a small Kerala town of Payyanur. While we were excited to show my mom all the incredibly beautiful nature surrounding our home in the jungle and of course have her also see just see our home and the lovely life I as a Finnish foreigner have been able to make for myself in India, the most important thing however was to just have her spend lots of time together with Annika playing and speaking Finnish, have Mummi be a part of our everyday Finnish Indian family life. But of course we also enjoyed the excitement of exploring our hometown area and more specifically all the amazing traditional Kerala cuisine, the best part about living in Kerala!

› ABOUT ME
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.

You chose the best things in India - location, food, culture, classical music/dance. Your mother is living a dream!
Hindi from dadi, Finnish from mummi, English from Pappa , Malayalam from neighbours.....my head is spinning...wonder how Annika manages it so well.
Most kids rather easily absorb the languages used around them and on them, it’s only really difficult for us grownups to learn with so less conscious effort 😅
that's what I was about to say, earlier I thought her hindi is dominant but wow man She's picking every language. great ✌✌
Great isn't it 😅
Wrong 😂😂
Haryanvi from dadi
Their mother tongue is Haryanvi
You guys think that North India has only one language that is Hindi change your perception
@@proudgadwali144take a walk buddy.....chill
The view from your home is gorgeous and so serene ❤. Kerala is indeed “God’s own land”.
It’s lovely to see Annika and her mummi enjoying themselves together. Annika’s speaking skills and vocabulary is growing by leaps and bounds. Annika is truly a global child, one who will grow to appreciate and love the nature, people and animals around her.
Beautiful vlog. Your mother looks so mesmerised by the beauty of Kerala.
She did really love Kerala 😊
Very happy to see ur mom in Kerala. Annika has really grown up nice to see her speak finnish, hindi, malayalam n english very fluently God bless her ❤love to cutie pie

So cute and amazing ❤
Nic video beautiful johanna cute Annika 💓💞💞🥰🥰
Hi Joanna
Just stumbled upon your video. Found it interesting. You're staying in Payyannur which happens to be my maternal house. But I'm a bit confused. Your husband is a mallu & you mentioned that your in-laws are from Haryana-Rajasthan border. Didn't understand this. If you could clarify this...
My husband is Haryanvi, but often mistaken for a mallu because he looks like one and is named like one. :D We live in Kerala due to work
I’m craving fish curry from Kerala.
❤
ur home is a dream for many
I'm deeply appreciative of how Johanna has seamlessly settled into her Indian life after living in Finland! ❤
The video link below will give you an idea of how much effort it must have taken her to integrate and adjust to Bharat & Bharatiyas!
You're ours now Johanna 😊 a pucca Malayali Jatni 😊
Finland could not have a better representative in Bharat than you!

Kudos to the mother for making sure her daughter speaks Finnish - in many bilingual families, the children lose their mother’s language and only learn their father’s sadly. I sincerely hope the little girl goes to an international school and learns how to speak English without Indian pronounciation and syntax when she grows up, as this would exclude her from many opportunities in Europe, or at least put her at a disadvantage.
If we put her to an international school, it’ll be to expose her to more diversity and different nationalities. But there is nothing wrong about having an Indian accent or any non-native English accent, especially since neither of her parents speaks native English and we dont live in a native English country. As long as she speaks fluently with a rich vocabulary and can be easily understood, thats what matters. More important is that she speaks Finnish and Hindi without a foreign sounding accent 😊
Gods own country
Grams is too sweet...❤
I've noticed that Fish Molee appeals to Westerners easily.
❤❤❤
Annika seems to look like her nani.. She's adorably cute!! Love those blonde curls!!❤❤❤
Nice video
Please make sure she doesn't randomly focus the sun with magnifying glass.
your house is very beautiful❤
Yummy 😋😋
how does it feeling a little confused driving on the wrong side of the road.
How is our kerala food😊
I am from Kerala working outside India now. Your video is so nostalgic. After living outside India for a while, now I realize how beautiful is my birthplace. I was watching your videos like a movie. Thanks for posting these videos. Hope your mom will like this new place and culture.
My mom loved Kerala, gods own country indeed! 😊
@@JohannaNorth ✨😇🌤
Yes I see what u are saying about India. I lived in India for 3 years and then returned to my home country (England) for 13 months. During that 13 month period in the UK I realised how incredible India was. But didn't quite see the actual awe and wonder of it until I left the place. I'm now back in India and living with a local family. I'm slow traveling as I'm wanting to absorb India's cultural depth through living with a local family ❤
That's called : " muttathe mullaikku manamilla"😂😂
❤❤❤
Once again... Another beautiful National geographic documentary🥰!!!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed 🙏
Everyone likes South India. They are very friendly, polite, and much cleaner than the North India.
What you consider in the north India? Maharashtra? Gujarat? North East? Bangal?
Western coast of India starting from Gujarat to Kanyakumari is indeed spectacular. Fortunate enough to have covered it and its too beautiful
People fall in love with kerala everytime they see with their own eyes and experience the beauty....thia is the reason this states called the "gods own country"
God's own muslim country would be proper😄😄
@@indianallways5720 yes brother..we have muslims Christians Jewish Hindus and jain...in eyes of our people(keralites)all these people are same and we live peacefully within a society.Which is impossible in North..cry for it🥱
@@indianallways5720 unhygienic lindu waste
@@indianallways5720 some north cows 🤣🤣🤣
I wish I could use Annika's magnifying glass on my bank balance....
Dont we all 😂😂
Would make me weep even louder!!! 😅
Beautiful Johanna.....
Thank you for sharing these memorable moments with us....
Welcome mummi to Karala.....
Annika is growing so beautifully 😍
Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
Your heart speaks to us through your videos. What lovely aesthetic you have, Johanna. Annika is such a grounded, secure child. You & Vinod are raising her so well. As a Bharatanatyam dancer myself, I felt Annika deeply at the end of this video. Your daughter moves so gracefully. Do start her training in dance soon. Its a life skill & a personal sanctuary she will be privileged to call her own.
Nice to see finnish Mum trying Indian food and liking the environment of your place.Nice colouring time between Annika and granny❤
You make such heart melting videos. How could you make such amazing videos!!❤❤
You are so kind 🙏
Coming here after Corona times. So happy to see little Annika. She has grown up so much. Times flies fast!
So nice to see Mummi enjoying Kerala and spending quality time with Annika. She is growing up so beautifully. She is getting to be quite a linguist ❤
Nostalgic memories of Kerala revived, again! Thanks!
Anika & her Grandma are having their best time together. Loved to watch!
Stay blessed!
Lovely for Annika and grandma to have such fun times,the food looks great but I can’t do the spicy ones,your mom is very brave to try them,
The food in North Kerala/Malabar region isn’t quite as spicy hot as in many other Indian cuisines, so do try if you get the chance! My mom loves the indian restaurants in Finland so she’s been practising with the spices 😅
So good to see you all!! Anika is so communicative.. cutie pie has grown up with time . Your videos are always informative Johanna . Thanks
Yesssss firstttt….. i really always look forward to your vlogs…. Always waitinggggg for you guys…. I dont know why but i just love your family…. Hugs to the cutie patotie Annika. Your Mom will surely enjoy her stay there. Merry Christmas dears 🎄❤️🤗..
With Annika around, how can one do anything but just enjoy! Be it my mom or you or anyone 😊 i give all the credit to Annika happily! Happy holidays ❤
Blessings from all of us.. may you grow up, getting the best of India and Finland. God bless you lil angel ! Lots of love ❤❤
Very captivating video esp presence of mummi from Finland absorbed in the variety that Kerala offers. Good work Johanna
Your home vlogs are so aesthetic and cozy to watch. Kindly do more home vlogs

And thanks to your mom to visit our payyannur🥰🙏🏻💐
Its written in your mom's face that she is so innocent...
Annika is more sweety with little BINDI on her forehead ❤😍❤
This is the best time of the year to visit that part of the country. This visit was well planned. You get to spend Christmas with mom and family.
My mom was here in October and November 😊
12:45 Kids living in India automatically gets accustomed with spices in food 😅❤
There was never called baby food for most of us in childhood 😂
Your house is actually located in a paradise like place 🥰
And its perfect for Children & elderly people.
P.S: Your daughter is gonna be an amazing a multilingual kid ❤ Hope she learns dances like Bharatnatyam too, if she wants.
We’ll take her to classical dance classes around the age 5-6 if she still wants to go 😊
Beautiful video of Kerala beauty, sweet Annika and your mom's enjoyment ❤
Payyannur is a nice place , i worked there long back
Annika enjoys the spicy meals as she looks at mummi and smiles so simply.😊😊
Your vlogs brings me peace at all times😌. I am not even from south but from north. But your way of living peacefully with a kid, husband and families is what I expect in my future. ❤
