Mummola

Mummola; 1) Granny's place
 2) Grandma's place
 3) Grandparents place
 4) Grandparents home

Mummola Travels is (a project and) a journey towards rediscovering our roots.

We found ourselves in a fortunate situation being able to take a year off from our regular lives, so we rented out our home in Helsinki, packed our bags and moved 1000 km up north to my husband’s childhood home in Kaukonen. We are happy to have four generations living together in the same farmstead.

Mummola is the place where you can follow our everyday life and holiday celebrations through out the four seasons that Lapland offers.

Join us on our journey and see where it will lead us!

After living for more than 10 years in Helsinki, I moved last summer back to our family farm with my wife and our son. So far, we have decided to stay here until next summer when my paternity leave ends. I want to use this opportunity to spend time with my family but also to learn skills that would make it possible for our family to move here permanently if we so wish.

I’m excited to live in Lapland with four generations of my husband’s family. I’m also enjoying being a mom of two and half year old boy, Olavi, and I’m happy that he got this big family around him. I’m eager to explore the amazing nature in Lapland, learn carpet weaving with Mummi, make bread cheese and flat bread with Ämmi and all the other things I’m able to experience (or learn). I’m writing notes and taking photos, so I can share the moments with you. At the same time, I’m listening my inner thoughts about moving back to the countryside as well as missing my friends in Helsinki. Bubbling underneath is possible career change inspired by the everyday life in Mummola.
