  Description

  Hi!
  My name is Johanna, and I live in Kiruna and Karasjok with my three children and partner . We live close to nature and have a daily life filled with activities, both with the children and rooted in our Sami culture.
  
  
  As part of our home, you will also get to experience Sami culture, learn about life in the north, and enjoy the beautiful surrounding nature. Kiruna and Karasjok is a fantastic place where you can experience the midnight sun in summer and the magical northern lights in winter.
  
  If you enjoy being with children, are flexible, and are eager to experience reindeer herding and Sami culture, we would be very happy to welcome you into our home!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  At our place, you will have a unique opportunity to experience Sami culture firsthand. You’ll learn about reindeer herding, which is an important part of our traditions, and gain insight into the daily life of a Sami family.
  
  You’ll also get to try traditional Sami cooking, hear stories about our history, and perhaps even join us in creating duodji (Sami handicrafts). Living in Kiruna and Karasjok, you’ll experience the Arctic environment, from the midnight sun in summer to the magical northern lights in winter.
  
  We love to share our culture, traditions, and way of life with others while learning about yours as well. This exchange is not just about helping out—it’s about creating meaningful connections and mutual understanding.
