- Finding Home Far Up North | Living in Northern Sweden
This is my story about finding home , a place far up north in Sweden, far away from where I come from. A place where I truly felt that this is my place and this is where I’m going to be.
19 years ago I came to Jokkmokk for the first time and for the first time in my life felt that I had come home. Of all the places I lived and even at the place where I grew up I have never really felt at home.

We are Stina & Matti and we live in Northern Sweden at a small place called Jokkmokk. Except for making videos we also run a small company called JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA and a kennel called WORKING HUSKY KENNEL. We offer guided outdoor tours in Swedish Lapland all around the year. During the winter we mostly do sled dog tours and in summertime, it’s hiking tours, wildlife safaris, canoe, and packraft trips. We live year-round in Jokkmokk with our 50 Siberian Husky and 2 Border Collies.

A beautiful parallel story that we share. My wife and I moved to the extreme Southern Pacific coast of Costa Rica 24 years ago and it was there in the remote tropical jungle surrounded by wildlife and natural beauty that we found our freedom and peace from the modern world. I would love to visit your paradise someday as well.
❤️ So nice to hear! /Stina
What a blessing. May you always have your health and have a long, happy life there. Too few of us ever have such a beautiful experience.
❤️ Hope you find your place!
As someone who made a similar move but some years later (should have done it earlier) I can relate to many of the things you say in this video 😊 Even more now since as you know our relation to the Jarre mountain will become much deeper in the near future when we move further into that direction.
Oh, and not to forget, it is partially your and Matti's fault that we ended up in the North 😜
Jarre and Lake Karats is a real paradise. Happy we had "ett finger med i spelet", as you say in Swedish, for making your decision to move up North 😉. /Stina
Replies like your is the reason I read & enjoy them as much as the video
Thank you, Stina, for the wise words. I don’t know how, coincidence or fate, I came across you and Matti and your channel, but I am going home to my paradise in May of next year. I always call home “the Shire” because it’s so green and lush and full of life and living things, and I think I really am at an end of my time in the mountains of the west. Time to go home to cool fall days, snowy winters (it’s actually doesn’t snow much where I live now, it does up on the mountains) and beautiful sunny summer evenings. You’ve both touched my life in such a profound way over the last years I’ve been watching, and I thank you. Maybe we’ll come for a visit one day, my wife’s family is Finnish and Swedish immigrants and she’s always wanted to go back and see where they came from!
Ohh how it warms my heart to read your words ❤️. Thank you! /Stina
Beautiful in every sense of the word. Thank you. And thanks to Matti for luring you into his wolf den.. :-)
Haha! Yes, Matti lured me here, and then the dogs made it feel even better. Makes me happy to hear you thought it was beautiful, thanks. ❤️
Great advice. We are still working on it. Not easy depending on where we come from but the experience of paradises like Jokkmoke and Jarre gives us strength and the indelible memories give us perseverance...
I was thinking of you when I passed the timber windshelter up on Jarre 😊. /Stina
Amazing slow and intense video. It was so heartwarming when you turned around to wave good bye. And such a beautiful dog. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for your kind words! I'm happy to hear you watch all to the end 🙋♀️. /Stina
"Find your place in the world". This is the teaching we are trying to give our son and the message for all the kids we meet in our mission. My place is the mountain, trying to bring some light around. Thanks for this video. Alessandra from Italy
So nice to hear! /Stina
Good video,Stina. Thank you 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thank you! 🌞
I would love to move to the far north of Sweden from where I live in Melbourne Australia, however, given the fact that I only have a PhD and two decades of industry experience, but I lack the necessary asylum seeker status, I will never be allowed to move to Sweden.
Så du är från skåne!! Det är jag också, jag bor inte i Jokkmokk men jag har varit där flera gånger! Jag har varit ett kort besök i Skabram juni 2017. Jag var där 1997 (och i Sarek och Padjelanta) med min blivande fru. Hon och jag träffades på resa i Peru, men hon var från USA. Vi hade långdistans relation (Mycket kostsamt) i 3 år,sen flyttade hon hit. tyvärr så avled hon 2009, jag blev ensam med vår 7-åriga dotter, värsta tiden i mitt liv. Jag har stor förståelse för hur du saknar din pappa, speciellt som han hjälpte dig i Jokkmokk, du ser ju det han gjorde nästan dagligen...
Beklagar sorgen Bo ❤️ Jag tänker på min pappa dagligen. Småpratar ofta med honom i huvudet när jag är i hundgården. Jo, jag är uppväxt i Åhus. /Stina
True words! Thank you so much! 🙏
Thank you! It makes me happy to hear you liked it ❤️.
feeling home in Jokkmokk... I know exactly what you are talking about.... even as a stranger.... living very far away from there.... I have been to Jokkmokk various times, and I felt quite similar... however, my life did not allow me to settle down.... unfortunately.... 😢
I was a stranger to when I came here. I'm sorry to hear you can't move here. /Stina
❤😢
Good advice for those who dream of living the life. They need to find their paradise and go for it. At 67 I've lived and continue to live mine. The simpler the better. Hope to see you both. Got some med issues this summer. Nothing bad just catching some maintenence up. I'll see how it goes come winter.
Thank you 🙏
Thanks. Real positive video
Thank you! /Stina
Dear Stina, you have touched my heart and every word is true said.
It means a lot to me, keep your fire burning ❤
So nice to hear. It makes me all warm inside to read 🙏❤️. /Stina
Hey Stina. I found your video in a very difficult period of my life, trying to find my personal place in the world, trying to find myself. A few days ago I decided to take a long walk away from my home, for some weeks or months. Now I am planning und preparing, and being sometimes owerwhelmed by questions like what to do with my belongings, my house and so on. What you said, touches me in my innerst and motivates me to go on. Thanks!
So nice to hear that my words touched! I wish you all the best in your physical and mental journey ❤️. /Stina
What a lovely video. Such a beautiful place, true wilderness 👍
Thank you 🌲❤️
Underbar film, önskar att jag vaar 40 år yngre och utan förslitningar på leder(63 nu).Älskar den svenska fjällvärlden och alla fantastiska vyer den ger .Tack för denna film.
Tack, så roligt du gillade filmen!
Inte försent än. Mycket man kan se o uppleva här uppe utan att du behöver vandra. /Stina
Love your video Stina.
You described it so well, the feeling of coming home and feeling save in nature when you're out there on your own.
Those are exactely the feelings I have everytime I come to the North of Sweden. It's so special and I cherish the rare moments I can be there every time again❤
Nice to hear! I have never felt so safe as I do here. Thank you for your comment! /Stina
This video resonates so much in me, thanks for sharing it with us ❤
❤️
It's great that you have found your place.
Hope you have found yours too! /Stina
Oh Stina, lovely words and feels.❤
Thank you 🙏❤️ /Stina

I have been working and living in 10 different countries. 2 Years ago I came to Jokkmokk to stay here for a whole year because I wanted to know how it was to live up here. I was a bit frightened for the winter, but advice on some RUclips channel called JokkmokkGuiderna 😉 learned me how to cope with the cold. I too lived in Skåne, on the southeast coast, and had heard that it was easier to have a conversation with trees than with people and that it was difficult to get accepted.
But the reality was very different, I have never felt so welcomed anywhere as I did here so I really get it when you say "It felt that I had come home" and I too feel that way.
❤️ Nice to hear your story, and that Jokkmokk is your paradise as well. /Stina
Actually, the trees up North are easier to understand as they do not speak skånska 😉
Just kidding 🙂
Thank you for sharing your very heart warming story.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.
❤Tack!
Tack för att du tittade 🙏😊
"Coincidence or Fate, but that's another story". Soooo, tell us the story, Stina.
I often shudder when I see you or Matti drinking unfiltered water. Carrying a water filter with me is as necessary as wearing boots when out in the boonies.
50 kilometers? I had to convert that to 31 miles B4 it meant anything to lil ole MEeee.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.
Yes, maybe we need to tell that story some time 😉. /Stina
Fin film🤗
Tack Andreas! ❤️
Lets hope these regions will stay as they are and not get overrun and raped by tourists and people who dont respect Nature as it happens in many parts of the Earth...
Beautiful video, landscape and true spoken words. I can imaging this is a fine place to live ⚘️♥️. High 5 to Jonni 🐕
Thank you for your kind words! /Stina & Johnny🐾
Good video and so true words! Almost every year I spend 2-3 summer weeks in Lappish paradise for fishing and hiking. My biggest dream is to live there permanently!
Hope your dream comes true! /Stina
Thanks for sharing your story and your beautiful surroundings with us and hugs 🫂🇸🇬

Only one thing to answer : Many thanks, Stina. Take care
You too! 🙏
Tack för den här fina videon Stina! Jokkmokk är ju rena Paradiset som du säger så ja förstår dig verkligen! Ta hand om dig /Johan
Du med ❤️. Hoppas vi får se dig här uppe snart igen. /Stina
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA måste upp snart!!!!🥰
Main inconvenience is neither cold nor polar night but, I think, MOSQUITOES
When Carl Von Linne came to Lapland, he said, "Without the mosquitoes, Lapland will compete with paradise." 😉
The mosquitoes haven't been so bad as I thought before I came here. Of course, sometimes in special locations and conditions, it's really bad.
I am dutch and since my childhood I feel Sweden could be my home, but i have never been there. I would love to go there next summer, to feel. My question is, what about daylight in the winter where you live? What time will there be daylight and when will it be dark? And what about bears and wolves?
Hi! In Jokkmokk, during the darkest time, we have daylight from 9 in the morning until approx 3 in the afternoon.
We only have brownbears that are very shy, and it's rare you see theme because of that, and they hibernate in winter. Wolfs we have in middle Sweden, but not up here. /Stina ❤️
I’m glad that you have found your forever home
Me too 😊👍 /Stina
Thank you for another great video Stina. I can relate to so many things you said in this video. North Sweden is my home too and it is hard to describe that feeling to people who never experienced this. I knew that I had to get back to Scandinavia after spending 2 years in Australia, and moving back to the Netherlands has never been an option for me once I lived here. Knowing your happy place and being able to call it your home is worth a lot, i am grateful for it and enjoy it every day. ❤ /Sanne
❤️ Yes, you don't know until you know. It's a really special feeling. /Stina
I definitely like this Video. Its so awesome to feel something like this when you come to a Place, and you know, this is the Place where i have to be. Iam so thankful for the Content you bring in your Videos, the passion and the beautiness of Lappland. It Must be a good feeling like freedom, to take your bagpack, your dog, go out and do what you want. Absolutly a Dream of Living, i have no more words…..thank you for your Videos ✌️
Thank you for following us and showing your appreciation in your comments. It makes me so happy! /Stina 🌞
I dont know if you know how much it means to me, to hear you and Matti Talking about your Life up there. With every sentence, iam more sure, That i have to be up there. Since 2015 iam travelling to norway and sweden and everytime it feels like coming Home, and everytime i have to leave, it feels sooo Bad for weeks. I dont know why iam telling you, but i think you and matti help me with your Videos, to Push on and let my dreams come True. So now its enough for today.
Best regards ✌️
@@FlorianBleser 8 years ago I was still in the same situation as you are now. I was living in Germany, working in large cities mostly. It was not a bad life at all, but at that time I was in love with Northern Scandinavia for already a long time already, spending as much time in Northern Sweden as I could ... and I had dreamt of living up here for almost a decade by then. So it took some time to make it happen but it worked out in the end 🙂 Wishing you good luck and do not give up!
@@AlexanderBlumenau thank you for your Commend. Its nice to Talk to People in the same situation. In August i visit dovrefjell Nationalpark for hiking and photograph muskoxen. I cant wait to get there. Maybe i Plan another Trip in Winter. Maybe sweden.
I was in Lappland sweden in 2019 in Rörbäck on a Camping area and it was so Amazing, the silence, the light, the nature absolutly stunning. I can Talk Hours about this awesome Countrys. Enough for the Moment.
Best regards ✌️
