    Your part of Finland is soooo beautiful. Your videos have this calming effect on me as it is speaks solitude with nature which I long to have in life. I am a grandmom of three active kids to a son who all live in our compound. I would have wanted peace and quiet in my home but I also love to listen to the boisterous giggles and laughter of the three. Guess I just can't have both worlds in reality but I can see your vids and tag along with your solitude. Thank you so much.

      You can do this in the north of Europe. We cannot do this here in the states.
      I would be afraid to be an alone female camping in the wild. The car would be ransacked and/or stolen if we left it for two days or more.
      Me and a friend hiked up a mountain and camped on a holiday weekend; 4th of July I think it was.
      About 10 or 11:00 at night in the dark, a ranger came by and kicked us out of the campsite! Said we had to move to a crowded designated campsite about a quarter mile away. We could hear the people there partying and didn’t want to go there so we had to pack up in the dark and hike back down the mountain at night!
      I’ll never forget this.
      Things are different where you are. All places, as you say are open to everyone at any time as long as you don’t trash them or deface anything.
      And this was many years ago when I was still single; maybe 40 years ago.
      It’s much worse now; a woman would get assaulted, robbed or worse.
      I so long for your type of freedom!

    This was so peaceful and relaxing 😌🤍. I’m a huge introvert, and I 💯 get why you need alone time. What a beautiful place to take that time.. Finland is amazing 🤩 (even in the rain 🙂).
    Two things always worry me when hiking in my little corner of Canada: Bears (and other predators) and ticks (yuck 😫). Do you ever pack things like bear spray? And do you have to protect yourself from parasites? Maybe these are more problematic in Canada 🤷‍♀️. If so, I’m moving to Finland 🤣.
    Thanks for sharing, Sanna 🤍

    • @sannavaara
      @sannavaara  Год назад +7

      Another introvert and a highly sensitive person here, too, so this is absolutely necessary for me to do every once in a while. I've about Canadian bears, but for some reason ours are more timid and always walk away from humans. You are lucky if you ever get a glance at them so no worries for them at all. And for ticks or other parasites, we don't have any of them this far north 😘

    Your wilderness looks like my wilderness of Northern Wisconsin, U.S.A. It nurtured me from the 1950s to 2014. My fondest experiences were to rest alone awaiting still and silently for all the critters to return from hiding once I was no longer seen as a threat. Your barefooted trekking never came to mind. Best wishes... Thomas

I too howl when Im in the forest, and I too feel the most alive alone walking in nature. That is something I say to myself frequently, how alive nature makes you feel and that is truly what living is about. Im really looking forward to following you and watching you videos! Best wishes from Norway, and have a happy Christmas!

    Beautiful, Sanna, thank you so much for taking us with you into the beautiful Finish wilderness. Sometimes we need to feel the elements all by ourselves to feel alive and to feel ourselves again. I can really relate to that and I've been longing to camp out somewhere all by myself for a long time, but my disabled husband needs me, so I can only stay away for half a day at a time. But a small hike up the moorlands can also help. Lots of love from England xx
