Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Our small village in Finnish Lapland is unique in its nature and culture. Here you are able to take contact with living Finnish Lappish countryside. You can take part in Finnish culture and how we combine Sami people living in Kilpisjärvi. You are able to learn how to live near nature, how it´s present every day, and see how seasons (if you stay longer with us) change in the fell side. Kilpisjärvi is the perfect place for hiking, fishing, and relaxing. Here you can learn to live day by day and forget a calendar-based hour-by-hour lifestyle. If you want to find the connection to your inner self and learn to listen to yourself better, many have said that this is the place for it.
We are living in a big commune house so we are present with you every day. We are quite a relaxed family with two toddlers so there is some action in the house for sure. Most of us work in the family business and we work either from the house or around our accommodation company. We would like to share with you our culture, cooking, and living ways near the Northern nature.
We hope that we are learning parts of your culture and that our toddlers get to know multicultural ways from the start. We are also really passionate to explore different food cultures.Projects involving children
