Finnish Family Finds Home and Warmth After Moving to Mumbai

A Finnish family moved to Mumbai because Touko got a teaching opportunity in India.

At first, many things felt unfamiliar, including the language, food and finding a home.

Their children began making friends and exploring the city.

They also enjoyed new experiences, such as riding in an auto-rickshaw.

People in Mumbai often helped the family when they were having trouble.

One person helped translate when they needed to repair the children’s bicycles.

These kind moments made Mumbai feel more like home.

The family still misses Finland but is happy their children are growing up with two cultures.

They encourage people to experience India closely instead of judging it from far away.
