Life in Korpo
Almost every summer we get the question “Can you actually live here all year round?”. The answer to that question is of course YES! It is a luxury to live in the archipelago! About 750 people live in Korpo all year round. We are a vibrant community and we have all the services needed to make life comfortable. Everything from kindergarten, school, medical care, elderly care, grocery store, hardware and general store, restaurants, pharmacy and everything else needed to make everyday life work. Here you can find blog posts that reflect everyday life in Korpo, 365 days a year. Maybe you're thinking of moving here too? :)

Word of the day: multi-taskers, martall & the Archipelago Sea
Muutin reilu vuosi sitten Korppooseen osittain kokeillakseni, miltä kokonainen vuosi tuntuu saaristossa, osittain sen takia, että tunsin löytäneeni jotain omaa saarelta ja sen ihmisistä. Vaikka tunsin menettäneeni sieluni jo aikoja sitten Saaristomerelle, Korppooseen kotiutuminen on mennyt samanaikaisesti sekä nopeasti, että...
Juuret
Helmikuun toisena päivänä 2022 kello 22:32 olen ladannut läppärilleni netistä vanhan mustavalkoisen valokuvan, jossa poseeraa perhe talon edessä. Kuvatekstissä lukee: “Adolf Öhman with from left his daughter Amanda Mathilda, daughter-in-law Julia Adelina Wilhelmina, wife Amanda Carolina and granddaughter Sylvi Adele Öhman”. Muistan...

One day on an Astrid Menzel film set in Korpo
