Most mökkis are by the water. A wood-heated sauna is a must. We’re incredibly lucky that my parents have a mökki in Central Finland, very close to the family farm where my dad was born and where I spent my childhood summers. Life here is a bit more rustic, a bit slower. Lots of playing in the woods, swimming in the lake, fishing and rowing boats. Really good food, often with ingredients harvested from the lake, the forests, or the garden, and water straight from the spring. Treasure hunts and games and the obligatory evening ritual of swimming-sauna-swimming-sauna-swimming. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608a08b305322060c3183a7d/1634040071693-L1GH8LPZWLTG184HURRG/IMG_7850.jpg Finland Album I At the family farm At my grandparents’ old family farm, now managed by my aunt, I get to step into childhood memories and old traditions. My aunt has been working hard to preserve the farm’s history and keep old traditions alive while bringing in fresh new winds, like WWOOFers from around the world. She’s just finished building an off-grid cabin out of 100-year-old logs on the land and hosts wellness events and retreats on the farm. Many of the things that made life here possible in the olden days — like the wood cookstove, the root cellar and the composting toilet — are still in daily use here because they (still!) make sense. I spent my childhood summers here. Whenever I write, I sooner or later end up here on the page. It is probably my most sacred place, what Finns call sielunmaisema (landscape of the soul).
