The essence of Lapland for me
Who am I, Eva, and why do I spell my company name "wrong"?
For more than thirty years I have been living in the heart of Arctic Sweden. Many years in Jokkmokk and from 2024 in Mjöträsk and Lassbyn.
As a young woman, I came from the capital Stockholm to the mountains and immediately fell in love with the spectacular wilderness, the warm and easygoing people and the culture, which was so different from everything I had experienced before.
I have lived, studied, worked and loved every minute of my life in Lapland and as the mother of my Sami son I have moved closer to the Sami culture.
The seasons change very quickly in Swedish Lapland and meeting exciting people and discovering new adventures creates wonderful memories in my everyday life. I love to share these experiences in a personal, informative way that will stimulate all your senses. That's why I spell my company name EsSense of Lapland.
I love to share my experiences in a way that will stimulate all your senses.
I.e. EsSense of Lapland!
A year filled with joy, flavors and knowledge!
The year of Flavors!
In 2009, I finished an increasingly monotonous office job and joined a one-year training class at the Sami Education Center in Jokkmokk – about Sami traditional food culture. It was one of the best years of my life!
We learned about taking care of everything on the reindeer, other wild animals, fish, berries, mushrooms and plants. We learned about old food traditions, but were also encouraged to experiment.
It was incredibly educational and enjoyable. It was a year filled with joy, flavors and knowledge! After that year I just had to start sharing all the knowledge, all the flavours I had discovered. It was time to start my own company, driven from my big passion about local food and especially wild herbs and berries.
Nature and I...
Nature is the basis of all my activities. The nature around my home and at all the facilities I visit. Over the years, I have come to see, appreciate and understand nature in a completely different way than I did before. I've made an effort to understand it and apparently made a new friend!
Therefore, it is especially important to always respect and take into account the sensitivity of nature. Be careful not to pick too much or spoil. To be part of the ecological landscape in harmony.
I have had the privilege of participating in a variety of articles from all over the world.
