In a recent episode of the show 'Overnight Guest with Maria Veitola,' journalist Maria Veitola traveled for the first time to Iceland to meet author Satu Rämö. Rämö, who resides with her family in the West Fjords of Iceland, opened her home to Veitola and discussed her life there, highlighting the beautiful coastal landscape they fell in love with when they decided to move to this remote area. While they initially planned to stay for just a year, the pandemic prolonged their stay, marking their seventh winter in Iceland.

During the visit, Rämö shared insights about the home they purchased, describing it as a 'terrible shack' in poor condition that nobody noticed go on sale. Despite the challenges of renovating the house, she emphasized that the stunning landscape was a unique aspect that made the difficult decision to move worthwhile. Their proximity to the airport was also crucial for Rämö, as it allowed her to travel for work, making the remote location more viable.

The episode showcases not only Rämö's personal reflections on her journey from Finland to Iceland but also creates a dialogue about the impact of isolation during the pandemic and how it has reshaped their experience in a foreign country. Rämö's story resonates with many who have faced similar challenges while adapting to life during such unprecedented times, underscoring both the beauty of Iceland and the longing for familiar comforts from home.
