fiona and marcWrap up 2025:
April 1/2
Early April 2025, we reached the Arctic Circle near Rovaniemi, the capital of Lapland. The ground was still covered in snow and the lakes and rivers still entirely frozen.
After a big grocery shopping trip, we set off, driving for one hour westward to a tiny village somewhere in the middle of nowhere, between two small lakes.
A young couple, C&S from France, had invited us to their house in that village.
It's actually really funny how we found out about C&S.
Back in summer 2024, when we were cycling through Finland, we met a girl from Belgium. We cycled with her from Rovaniemi all the way to the North Cape. Along the way, she told us that the day before we met her, she had gotten to know a couple, cycling from France, and that they had spontaneously bought a house in Finland. Yes, it was exactly that couple at whose place we spent these first 10 days in April. It was with them that we basically started our emigration.
Actually we had planned to visit C&S only a couple of days and then go back for house-hunting from Rovaniemi towards Oulu. But when we were in this tiny village, exploring the nature with C&S, thaking and exchanging a lot with them, it became quickly clear that we wanted to find a house in that area.
In the next post, I will share the link of our video on youtube with you!
There we show more about the process of house-hunting... It was fun, stressful, exhausting, and almost a bit adventurous all in one. We saw quite some properties but by that time not the right one.
