OUR STORY
Meet the Founder
My name is Henna, and I am the face behind Live Nordic.
My story began in a small town in central Finland where I lived until my teenage years. Having always been fascinated by other cultures and shared a passion for travel, I first moved abroad at the age of 17 and spent most my twenties studying and working across three different continents, ultimately building my career in the nonprofit sector. Coastal New England has been my home since 2011 and a place where my husband and I are now raising our family.
The longer I have explored the world outside the Nordic region, the more I have learnt to appreciate the Northern lifestyle. Live Nordic offers a venue to further explore benefits of Nordic living and find new ways to incorporate these principles into your daily life, regardless of where you live.
Thanks for stopping by. I am so happy to see you here!
