Who we are

I, Anneli, spent a very important and interesting time of my life in Germany. Moving within Germany a few times, I got to know Germany’s people and regions, but always longed for the Finnish nature, my origins. At my work I was in contact with many people from different cultures and backgrounds. So I have grown to love the colourful mix of nationalities, all these personalities with their different stories and life experiences. 

My husband, Wilfried, was in Finland for holidays when we met in Jyväskylä at the Päijänne Lake. We spent more than 30 years of our annual holidays in Finland and he got to know the Finnish way of loving life, the people and the country. So at the end of his professional life he was excited to return home with me to Finland.
