About Us

Hello, Friend, and welcome to metsalife.com ( 漫森 metsä). We are a family-run business which started in Taiwan in 2023, and was created by Stephen and Christy Kurkinen. 

The business and website were an offshoot of our family Youtube channel (Laowai Baba） with our first product being Taiwan, High-mountain tea.  Since then we've expanded into different product categories like coffee, women's clothing and accessories, print-products, T-shirts, and more. 

As our company grows we're trying to create and find new products and services that are a good match with our own family's values and needs (and hopefully yours as well!). Naturally this will include items and services made by other people and companies. 

If you are interested in working on a project together with us, please feel free to reach us via these contact methods below:

Youtube & Social: Want to promote your products or services on our Youtube, Facebook, & Instagram channels? Contact us here: contact@laowaibaba.com

Online Shop: Interested in selling your items on Metsalife.com? Get in touch at contact@metsalife.com

Other: If you would like to reach out to me  (Stephen 老外爸爸) about non-business related matters, you can do that here: contact@stephenkurkinen.com

(A little reminder: Please be as specific as possible when reaching out to us- we try to read most emails, but if they are too vague, then we will most likely forget to respond, and continue focusing on our current projects. Due to our large family, and busy schedules, and the many emails and messages we get on Youtube and other social media, you might have to write several times to finally reach us! Don't give up! Thank you for understanding, and thanks for contacting us! We appreciate you.)  

Peace to you and yours,

Stephen, Christy （季芳）, Adeline, Bethany, Joanna, Elizabeth, Olivia, Sarah, and Sophia
