I Stayed In A Glass Igloo In The Arctic Circle

- HELLO FRIENDS!! Welcome to the final installment of our Nordic/Scandinavian trip - the Glass Igloos in Finland! So far on our trip, we have taken a communal hot bath at the Blue Lagoon in Iceland, nearly cryogenically frozen ourselves at the ICEHOTEL in Sweden, and now we're on to Arctic Finland to stay in a glass igloo under the northern lights!
For years, I've been seeing the glass igloos in Finland on my instagram, tiktok - *and UA-cam shorts* feeds - and I've always wanted to try them out. I've never seen the northern lights before, and I've also never stayed in a human-sized terrarium before, but I've always been intrigued by those see-through bubble tents - so we decided to go and try one out and see if we freeze our butts off! And while at Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort, home of the glass igloos, we also tried a bunch of arctic activities - like snowmobiling, reindeer sleigh rides, dog sledding, and traditional Finnish sauna-ing and ice bathing!!
What do you think?? Would you stay in a glass igloo?

HELLO FRIENDS!! welcome to the final installment of our Nordic/Scandinavian trip - the Glass Igloos in Finland! we've been seeing these bad boys all over the internet for years, and finally had the chance to try them out - as well as a bunch of arctic activities, including a very chilling ice bath session 🥶and a very bumpy dog sledding tour (foreshadowing)🐕what do you guys think? would you stay in a glass igloo? and where do you think we should we travel to next?? xoxo, saf
Thank you for this Saf, absolutely loved this series and I'm looking forward to finishing this glass igloo video❤, hope you and Tyler are doing well.
try going to all of British
ok picture shenanigans in europe
I have always wanted to see the northern lights in person! This place is beautiful. I would definitely stay here. Even though the cold is my archenemies. Also, I would love to see you guys go to Australia.
I’d love to experience the igloos they look super cool especially the sled riding
can confirm, sensation in my hiney has returned 🕺
horrary 🎉🎉🎉, love to hear that Tyler. Hope you and Saf are well
😂
Was the frozen hiney the true bug affecting belly operations?
@Saifya Nygraad 🅥 DO NOT CLICK THIS LINK EVERYONE!!!
Phew. Glad to hear it! was worried for a minute.
Saf needs to do like a spooky trip visiting locations known for horror literature/movies or just haunted like the Stanley Hotel, Sleepy Hollow, Dracula's Castle, Paris catacombs, etc. Could be a fun travel/Halloween series.
omg YES
this is the best idea ever
this should be a trip program!!
That is genius!!!!
Salem Massachusetts!
Hearing Tyler say, "you got it sweetie," was so sweet and encouraging when they did the plunge pool.
Fr! I was waiting for someone to mention how sweet that was!
That was super sweet and supportive !
They are seriously the cutest and sweetest couple ever.
Watching the dogs run and pull the sled was so darn cute, they looked so excited and happy to be running like "WE'RE DOIN THE THING GUYS LETS GO LETS GO RUN"
aw it’s so cute to think of it that way
And then people wonder why they tear their couch apart living in Houston Texas lol
Some dog breeds *love* having a job. Those guys love having a running-based job, in particular.
@@Ali_D_Katt I always wondered. I see a lot american youtubers/streamers etc just letting their dog into their garden to do their buisness or go on a little 20 min walk. For most dogs thats waaay to less. Every Dog, even the smallest, needs Brain, Nose and Body activity in their daily life. Some need more running, some more nose work etc. depending on race and age. And of course also their time to rest, sleep. Over here we have specific rules for our dogs, seeing all those "funny" videos of dogs ripping apart trash, furniture... mostly from america, just shows something wents very wrong there ^^
My beautiful border collie Piper used to pull me along on a kart..she absolutely loved it
As a European it is so funny how impressed Safiya and Tyler are by the “uneventful” border crossing 😂
Right? I'd love her to cross the border from Poland to Czechia from the polish town Cieszyn. It's literally just crossing the bridge near the centre of the town, and you can't even tell you're already in a diffiferent country :D
I once crossed into Czechia by accident on a scavenger hunt, because the girl who was holding the map confused the border with a big road… the camp guide asked as not to talk about it at camp, not because it was or something illegal but because it was unplanned and she didn’t want to get into trouble… 😅
I live near 2 borders of Belgium and Germany, I get groceries and gas at my neighbor countries like I also do in my own country 😂 Europe is so unbothered, we truly live in freedom. #grateful
@@Monicaliathank you, I think I have finally found the mysterie border crossing from my childhood holiday years ago. I am trying to search for this place for soo long 😂
Haha. yes. I always have to remind myself that I DO need my documents to check into a hotel because they are never checked at borders.
As a dogsled musher who has been racing for 8 years, I can assure you that even when the dogs know and trust you and know you’re a pro at dogsledding, the experience is STILL just hanging on for dear life 🤣

Amazing the people you meet on the internet the closest I have come to dog sledding is reading call of the wild. That was a long time ago but I should reread I remember loving it and crying
ok
Why am I crying??? Those dogs and reindeer are just living their best lives. This makes me happy. So happy I'm bawling. Wow!! I love to see animals treated like they should be.
This world holds so much beauty, we really need to appreciate it more (I especially mean rich billionaires who can actually save this planet and many animals and people from dying.)
@@Orangecataura ‘bUt i wAnT To gO To mArS’
Those dogs are literally doing what they were made for and it makes me so happy
I’m so glad Saf mentioned the Sámi people because I just watched an amazing movie about them recently and it was very emotional. I’m part Indigenous Canadian myself and how similar it was to how things happened here with residential/day schools and everything was shocking. This is a very respectful and beautiful vlog as always!
What documentary did you see?
Yes!!
A professor I loved at the uni I went to taught about them in all of the anthropology classes she taught. I took every single one of them and I enjoyed learning about them so much! I hope to some day be able to travel up there to see more of their culture in person.
They don't often use terms of endearment so hearing Tyler call Safiya sweetie just about melted me entirely.
WAIT WHEN DID THAT HALPEND
@@v3nus842 During the sauna and ice plunge
@@v3nus842 15:32
Yes!! I noticed it and melted ❤
i had to turn on captions to see if i was being ridiculous! 🤣
I LOVED LOVED LOVED how the instructor introduced every single dog before your ride. Even letting you know who the dog leaders are. SOO cute
My fav part too

We finnish are stiff BUT you must know everything about our animals and you may even hear us babble to our animals. But that you must never tell anyone ☝🏻
@@MegaHillomunkki Awwww thats literally rhe cutest thing. My heart 😍🥺
Getting that sick and then having to go on a plane is one of my biggest fears and I feel for all of you so badly! That experience looked amazing though so I hope despite the sick end it was wonderful for everyone.
Same. Absolutely horrifying!
Having anything bad happen while I'm away from home is one of my biggest fears. I've been laid up with the flu for the past two weeks and I honestly don't know how I would survived if this happened while I was travelling.
I’ve been there a couple of times and felt immediately bad for Saf. One time I was fortunate enough to get to the back of the aircraft and sleep the whole way home… but all mine have been relatively short by comparison (Chicago->NYC, Orlando -> NYC). Big difference between 2 hours and 8 hours.
Safiya's gargling excitement noises about the Northern Lights is exactly how I'd feel!! Seeing that is something I'd lose my mind over. Also, the puppies were so precious. I just love this whole video.
Northern lights are just the battle fires from cosmic radiation hitting our deflection shield that's powered by a huge wind up generator inside the planet . It hasn't been wound since the Moon creation, but it's still chugging along .
I love the fact that when Melissa said she's not well Saf immediately stopped the sled and switched places. 100% great human
Yessss! I feel bad for them not feeling well but she was so kind to Melissa!
That's literally basic human decency 😮
@@yolk5829 it really is, which not many people have!
Well yeah of course she did lol no one wants to get vom'd on!
You're appreciating someone for showing basic human decency. I hope you realize that
melissa saying “saf i might throw up” and saf immediately going “OK, excuse me can we stop?!” was so comforting for some reason, ik it’s the right thing to do but many ppl would go “really? just hold up a little” or be annoyed 😅
"Hold on for like 5 minutes" is what caused me to throw up all over the backseat and therefore my older brother when we were on a road trip as kids. My dad learned his lesson that day lol
Well I feel in this situation everyone would rather switch than having someone trhow up on them. But yeah Saf must be an awesome boss 😌
As someone with emetophobia, I thought the same thing. It’s already anxiety wrenching enough for us to let someone know we’re gonna get sick so when someone have that type of calm response it makes things that much better. I thought it was sweet too🥹
Kind of related but when Saf and Tyler were streaming and Tyler accidentally wore a shirt that was offensive without knowing, the minute people in the chat started saying it was offensive, he was like “oh I’m sorry, I’m gonna go change really quick” and Saf was like “yeah, go change. We’re really sorry about that guys.” She seems like a very understanding person and is always looking out for the best interests of her employees and fans
I immediately thought that too. Maybe I shy away from social confrontation but her also immediately speaking up was cool to see.
Hearing the dogs so excited to run made me so happy I could cry. They love what they do and they do what they love
As someone who owns a husky, they're excitable little freaks. They have so much energy and they're the cutest on the planet. All they wanna do is run, play, and have a good time
You guys should definitely do a train series next! Go to different countries and take overnight trains, that would be really cool
Train video dropped!
you predicted it!!
I love how you include some of the struggle parts of staying at these places. This is the type of travel content we all need.
Pro tip. You can do like we do in camping and change clothes under the covers or in a sleeping bag if you prioritize privacy. Works like a charm.
ok
Yup, most would say, "We had a small hiccup.", "There was an inconvenience." And that's it, It's nice seeing Saf be 100% honest with us and not hide anything. From showing us old food to being trapped for 2 days in airports.
Very interesting
As a Finn I always love when foreigners get to appreciate and explore our nature and culture :)
Same! Even though the way they used they pulkka drove me slightly crazy. Like don't leave your legs out, that will slow you down and get you covered in snow friends! 😂
You guys are seriously the best. I love your nature, culture and music, but especially your sense of humor and personalities, perhaps because it's very similar to mine :)
Yeah definetly, i’m half Finnish and i have been to Finland lots of times, so it feels good to see other people enjoy it as well!
Same! Minus the way Safiya said "Kakslauttanen". 😂
Same here! I was so excited for this. It was really fun seeing them in Lapland doing same things I have done 😄
You need to go to Hamanasi in Belize! It's an eco-friendly resort that has coastal rainforest. We stayed in a tree house in the jungle, went snorkeling along the Carribean reef, saw two different Mayan ruins sites, went to a chocolate farm and made our own chocolate bars! There is so much to see and do and it's such a neat experience!!!
Upvote the shit out of this!!!!!! I would love to see this! I’m glad you had this experience😊
I wanna go to Belize now 😭
ive heard such great things about belize and it’s definitely on my travel list for the future. one of my vet teachers in highschool went for an exotic animals in veterinary medicine trip shortly before covid had closed most border off and we got to hear so many amazing things and was definitely a highlight of my school days during the covid shutdown was seeing pictures of her trip.
Yes please check out Belize!!! I got to go their for a month on a university trip and it was amazing!! Check out the Lamanai Archaeology reserve and Caye Cauker as well as San ignacio, the food and culture in Belize is Amazing!!
That sounds insane! Wow!!!
Still, as a Dutch person, it is hilarious to see you guys being so weirded out by there not being any border hassle in Europe. My country literally has a town that just has pieces of Belgium inside of it. Also, there is the "drielandenpunt", and there is just a rock you can walk around and you cross the borders to and from Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands. I also remember the first time I went to America and had to cross the border into Canada being astonished by the hassle.
Edit: I see similar comments now, sorry
There's also one of those landmarks in Finland in the north called the "kolmen valtakunnan rajapyykki", in English a "Three-Country Cairn", where the borders of Finland, Sweden and Norway meet and you can go around it and walk through all the countries!
Tyler calling Saf “sweetie” when she’s going in the plunge was so adorable 🥹
if you watch their live streams on their other channel, he calls her really cute names 🥹🥹
came to say the same! i never heard him say that before.
@@kjergens1 he calls her “baby cake” on the live streams it’s so friggin cute
I always appreciate that Safiya includes a clip of the standard rooms for us to see
I'm really happy you included Finland in your Scandinavian visit because I have seen way too many people ignore us. People seem to think our country is not that cool or interesting but it honestly is very much like Sweden. I also love the pronunciation of Finnish things, always fun to hear how someone from somewhere else says them.
Also fun fact: Finland invented the Sauna over 2000 years ago and every single house has one, all apartment buildings also have a sauna to reserve if you don't have one in your apartment. Smoke saunas are the best! A cool swim in the lake right after sauna is the fricking best and there's no other feeling in this world that could beat that for me. Can't wait for mid summer.
My father’s partner is Finnish and when they were looking for a house to buy (in Belgium), a room that could be made into a sauna was a priority. 🙂 I also like to use it every now and then.
When Safiya mentioned the accidental nudity because of all the glass my first thought was Finns would barely notice it.
I do wish one or both of them had fully plunged into the water though, the cold hitting the scalp after a sauna is such an amazing feeling.
I can't get over the Reindeer and the dogs, they're sooooo CUTE! 😭😭😭
Props to saf for the immediate “excuse me” on the dog sled that would have been a 15 minute convo on who was gonna say something
I was so surprised when her friend just calmly said “I might throw up” because if it were me I’d be panicking so hard lol
Not if your friend is actually in trouble and not feeling well. In my experience, social anxiety disappears in these situations for a short moment, just when it's about somebody else and not yourself.
@@baguettegott3409 I mean to be fair saf was right in the splash zone so I think anyone would act pretty swiftly 😂😂
@@mjewrites SAME omg the entire end of that trip is like my worst nightmare. Imagine coming down with a stomach bug in the middle of a long flight like Saf did? I'd just ask to be tossed off the planel lmao
@@Steph-zo5zk yeah, if it's either get puked on or speak despite my social anxiety, I'm choosing the later cause my weak stomach triumphs my social anxiety by a mile
I think what I enjoy so much about these videos is Safiya and Tyler’s attitudes. Even if they’re doing something that I feel like I would hate, they always manage to have fun with it. They’re the kinds of people that I think could make any activity enjoyable together.
This is what I love abt them. They seem to just flow with the adventure and even if it sucks they find a way to describe to us what the pros were😂
Yes! And there’s always something to learn!
ok
Being stuck on a long plane ride when sick is my worst nightmare. I love your travel videos, I didn't realize how much I missed them.
I'm from Northern Ontario in Canada and we get -40 degrees Celsius in the winter. I've worked at a gold mine in Nunavut and experienced -60 degrees celsius during the winter. While growing up, I've seem a lot of northern lights. Being indigenous to the area, our elders used to tell us that "if you whistle at the northern lights, they'll pick you up and take you away." It was more than likely a deterrent to keep up home late at night. :)
I would love to see you guys do some crazy hotels in South America! Like the Skylodge in Peru, Uros Floating Village Peru, the Huilo Huilo Biological Reserve in Chile, The Salt Hotel Bolivia. Absolutely loving this series! Or come to Canada, maybe do a series here with Ben and Cristine! There's the Free Spirit Spheres in Nanaimo BC, HI Ottawa Jails In Ottawa Ontario, Quebec’s Le Hobbit at Entre Cîmes et Racines, Oasis Pods in NFLD or New Brunswick, Newfoundland’s Fogo Island Inn, Sundance Lodges in Alberta, Cap Jaseux Adventure Park in Quebec (spheres suspended from trees).
It would be fun to see you go on a trip with a budget. For example go to thailand with a $10 budget of the whole day
Love this idea! Peru especially, I visited the island of the Uros in college while studying abroad!
You can so glamping on patagonia forest.
Go to the Maldives!!! The underwater hotel is amazing and I hope to visit it one day. ♥
Yess Yess canadian edition!
There is a reason they used those zebra prints in the glass igloos. It's a classic print from a Finnish interior design brand called Artek that was founded by one of Finland's most famous architect Alvar Aalto and his wife Aino Aalto.
Absolutely valid reason! Personally I think Marimekko Lumimarja or something like that would still look nicer
luulis että löytyis nätimpiä ja ikoonisempia suomalaisia printtejä/kuoseja ku toi ällö seeprakuosi. muutenkin ihan täysin vääri viba ja teema verrattuna igluihin...
Thanks for the info! That makes sense!
Oh that makes more sense, thank you for the info!
I am from South Africa. The Zebra interiors seemed strange to me... you would expect that on a safari. Thank you for the explanation.
I NEED A BALTIC SERIES😂😂 We dont have ice hotels or igloos but Baltics is magical, healing and calming
There is so much to see in Scandinavia, going in the summer is amazing! The stomach bug can also be the change in food and water. And new people sharing germs. Kinda like how kids get sick after the first week of the beginning of the school year after not seeing people over the summer. And don't forget airplane air. 😊
As a Belgian who drives to Germany, France and the Netherlands quite regularly, I chuckled at their surprise when they didn't have to "do anything" once they crossed the border.
I'm old enough to remember when we had to do something crossing Italy to France.
A quick glance at the ID cards, nothing serious, but you have to stop at the gendarme.
i wish we could have the same experience in romania… thanks austria
@@ulissedazante5748 Oh yes, my parents used to stop at customs when they were young and went shopping in Germany. To me, that seems so unreal.
@@marionicolasmartin Seriously? Do you have to stop at a checkpoint?
There’s honestly more security between state borders in the USA than between countries in Europe
I was NOT expecting zebra print comforters and the odd almost 80s dixie cup print "curtains". 😂😂 I feel like if those things were just plain black or white it would feel INFINITELY nicer! I would have a blast decorating those igloos. 😂
It gives Finnish uncle vibes. Like designing the place himself instead of hiring someone who knows even a little bit about it and going "ah yes, I think this is what looks modern and fancy to the foreigners"
Deffinetly 😂 I’m finnish and was very disappointed seeing the decor is so tacky.. I feel like simple white or black would give such a more polished look 😂
@@Gnomereginam Yep, that is peak Finnish uncle aesthetic :'D
For the price per night of those igloos I would expect much nicer details than Ikea shag carpets and frumpy curtains... As a Finn I'm kind of embarrassed that this is perhaps the best known hotel we have :/
I used to work at Kakslauttanen as a receptionist and even back then I thought that the style was terrible 😂 It would be so easy and pretty affortable to elevate the look for more high end with just changing the textiles
Norwegian here. So glad you decided to visit Scandinavia and had a good time here.
I would like to say that sadly stomach bugs are a pretty common thing to catch around winter times here (At least from my own experience).
Also, I know our winters gets cold (Especially compare to where in the US you are from) , but I get the feeling you lot were not dressed properly for the Scandinavian winters. I kept seeing Saf and Tyler not covering their neck with something warm when outside, which is pretty important to not get sick.
Still, it was a delight watching the two of you exploring something so close to my own home, and hopefully you'll visit us again someday. ❤
(Sorry if my English is shaky)
My favourite game to play watching Saf and Ty is seeing how many times Saf references the 'I'm talking about Mountain Dew baby' guy. This did not disappoint.
as a northern girl, the squeaky Styrofoam sound of the snow tells me everything about how cold it is (and the frozen nose hairs 😆)
Living in the northern US, I've only experienced -20 Fahrenheit, and even then walking to classes meant frozen nose hairs and blinding white. I can't even imagine what these temperatures feel like!
You can really tell the temperature by the sound of snow 😂 It's so real
At negativ 13 C it's not really that cold yet. Thats the warm vinter up there
I really miss feeling with frozen nose hair now and how silent it is when snowing with huge snowflakes 🙈
@@halaileybailey Oh, -20 degrees in Fahrenheit is about as cold as it gets in most of Finland during winter, with some short exceptions, usually in the very north and sometimes east. According to the converter I used, that would be about -29 celsius :D I read that this past winter's cold record was about -35 degrees celsius (-31 degrees fahrenheit) and it was in the northernmost region, as could be expected. The coldest it's ever been recorded here was -51,5 celsius (-60 fahrenheit) and that was over twenty years ago. It is much more typical to have longer periods of about -10 to -15 degrees celsius (14 to 5 degrees fahrenheit), with the very South being too warm to have consistent snow coverage.
Our temperatures are actually much milder compared to the same latitude in other parts of the world, since the Gulf Stream keeps us somewhat warm :D We just get the light and darkness of the north, with the somewhat livable temperatures :'D Northern Finland doesn't get even a sliver of sun for a month during winter, and the sun doesn't go below the horizon for an equal time during summer. It's always fun to look at sunrise and sunset times of the town of Utsjoki and see a date instead of a time xD I personally live about half-way up the country, so here, you basically get three hours of sunrise going straight to sunset, during winter, and it's often hidden by clouds, anyway. The opposite in the summer, and even when the sun is down for the couple hours it stays below horizon, the sky doesn't get dark, it just becomes "evening" for a while :D
As someone who was also recently cursed by the stomach bug, but in the comfort of my own home, you have my full sympathy. Having it on a crowded plane, oh boy, what a nightmare. They also say that planes are flying petri dishes so you might have gotten it from there, considering how often you flew
I recently got a stomach bug at a music festival. It was NOT pretty haha. I had to leave early and it was mostly me just desperately hoping I wouldnt vom or shart all over my partner's car lmao
ugh i totally understand 😅 while it’s not a stomach bug it’s a reaction to some medications but still sucks
Unfortunately that's the main reason why people are getting that stomach bug, because they are traveling and going to places with it, probably half of the travelers in that plain got it now :D But sure its kind a understandable that they didn't want to miss the flight.
Yup.. I got a stomach bug from the plane at the beginning of our trip to visit family a few years ago. I kindly shared it with everyone else one by one 🙈
Bro I know, I threw up 11 times in one night. Definitely would not recommend
As a native Australian I would love to see you guys to make your way down here and check out all we have to offer.
i love that they included indigenous people and culture in this place, makes it so much more interesting props to them!!!
As your Finnish subscriber, it makes me so happy that you actually came and visited Finland. I’ve followed your journey since you’ve been in ladylike in buzzfeed. I started following you when I was around 14-15 and now I’m 24 and I’m still following your journey. I wish I could have given you and Tyler some other Finland advice, but I hope you guys had a good flight back home even though you were sick. Fun fact my mom works in Finnair so it’s possible you could have been in the same flight as her ❤️ Much love to you and Tyler.
Same here, I've followed her for years and years 🇫🇮❤️
It's so wonderfull that you visited Finland =D. I hope you're alright and not sick anymore! The Nordic lights have been pretty crazy this year so you came at the right time! Visit Finland again 🤗
Same! 🇫🇮
torilla tavataan 🤩
I love the strange hotel series! Please keep it coming 😆
Right? I wanna see where they'll go next
+
As a norwegian traveling to sweden and denmark for a weekend outing, The comment about the uneventful boarder "You dont have to do anything? Nothing at all?" had me luaghing a bit ❤😂
So happy to see you continual success outside of Buzzfeed!!! You deserve everything you’ve accomplished keep up the amazing content queen LOVE YOUUUUU
As someone who had a stomach bug hit me on the plane on my return trip from China you have my deepest sympathy. When the Chinese flight attendants couldn’t understand my panicked attempt to express why waiting politely in the bathroom line was a bad idea my stomach gave out and I projectile hurled all over the back of the plane in front of the bathrooms while they and several passengers looked on in horror. So whatever happened on your plane ride home, I get wanting to never speak of it. 🤐
On a more pleasant note I’d love to see you guys do a series visiting all the international Disney Parks and especially try some of the cool foods that aren’t in the US and compare things like Haunted Mansion rides in each park.
Yessss international Disney hotel and parks os a great idea
I imagine being on the plane would make a stomach bug 100X times worse. Flying already makes me nauseous.
@@evelynmater8773omg just imagine the gas and the diarrhea every 10 mins
Not sure why they don't have have barf bags for such an occasion.
I flew from Montreal to Paris, and since it was an overnight flight we were given a meal. When we landed in Paris I started feeling weird and the next thing I knew I threw up ALL the food. So embarrassing.
There were just so many great moments in it
Thumbs up
Very nice
Nice
Good
Bien
I love that our country is getting some recognition!❤🇫🇮
OMG THE MASTER OF DISGUISE reference. I knew there was a reason I loved you, Safiya!
The way Saf explained her rollercoaster of emotions is basically exactly how I would explain giving birth "Before I went in, I was terrified. While I was in, I hated it.. but afterwards, I was like - wow, that was fun! Let us do it again" 😂🎉
Yessss 😂😂
Hey, thanks for highlighting some of the Saami stuff. My mom's side of the family is Saami/Norwegian, and although I've been to Norway, I've always wanted to go to Sapmi and see the reindeer for myself. It's beautiful how the landscape of Finland looks like Northern Minnesota where a lot of the immigrants moved to.
We were at the Nordic Museum in Seattle and when they talked about how the forests & coasts of Washington reminded the immigrants who moved from New York to the Midwest (I guess further south than Minnesota) to WA, I almost cried I was so happy for them! 😊 And I'm so glad, too, the Saami are well represented at that resort.
I was happy to hear that too! Saami culture is a big part of Scandinavia/Nordic countries and it’s a shame it was buried by racist historians.
Loved the cold plunge. You two are brilliant 😊❤
I think y’all should do an American road trip where you stay in weird hotels! There is a dog shaped hotel called Dog Bark Park Inn and Beckham Creek Cave Lodge!
I love the fact that when Melissa thought she was going to throw up saf yelled immediately for them to stop showing how much she cares for people.
I mean yeah but literally any decent person would do the same thing especially if they are directly in front of someone saying they might throw up
@@grayonthewater I think they meant like zero hesitation lol
This is a very natural reaction
@@strawberrybunny1875 That is exactly what I meant she didn’t even think twice to say something. Thank You
stop what you’re doing everyone safiya uploaded a new video☝🏽🏃🏽♂️
Exactly!!!!
Sounds about right, haha! 😂
I think we are all doing it considered you clicked on this video.
Hi, fan from Finland, so glad you came here to see beautiful Lapland 🙌 I hope you had fun
This looked like a dream come true Safiya I’m glad you got to go with Tyler ❤
I love hove Tyler is more worried about Saf than himself. He's freezing and he goes "let's get you inside"
As someone who lives in inland Alaska, I will say that nose freezing is WEIRD. It’s my least, and also favorite feeling. Also, you got gorgeous northern lights videos. I’ve lived here 3 years and see them multiple times a winter and the awe factor never leaves. Reindeer are basically giant puppies, and I rescued two previous Alaskan husky sled dogs and they’re all that wild. I loved this! 💜
i was literally just thinking abt if people who live where the northern lights are visible get tired of them
@@misseselise3864 never. I can see them out the windows of my house in the winter every few weeks, and yeah never tired of them. It’s like seeing a moose. Always the best thing in the world.
🙋♀️ Hi from Saskatchewan. Nope never get tired of seeing Northern lights ❤
You should start a UA-cam channel!
When I was little, I thought I wanted to own a sled and sled-dogs when I grew up because I was obsessed with Balto. Now I'm glad I never got to follow through with that particular dream because I could *not* handle their energy 😩
LOVED this video series! So beautiful, so exciting, and so very different. Giving us all a little piece of the arctic circle!
I have absolutely LOVED these travel series! Every episode has been worth the wait ❤ You are definitely adding destinations and experiences to my bucket list 🙌
I love it when I catch a quick "Sweetie" from Tyler to Safiya ❤ (when they are going into the frozen lake)
Such a sweet little moment!!
Soooo cute
When she put on the big snow suit and he immediately said she looked cute also made awww.
Tyler calling Saifya “sweetie” melted me 🥰
Please keep traveling! You guys are my favorite to watch travel! It's so fun and honest and makes me feel like I'm apart of the adventure ❤
Your travel videos are my absolute favorites!!
Doing a complete 180 and visiting the countries in Southern Europe during Summer would be a fun series (Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, Croatia, etc.) I would love to see what you guys think of these countries, specially Portugal since it's my country ;D.
Have you looked at the temperature??
Greece 🥺 its so beautiful there ... I can't remember the name but there is a town full of cats I think she'd love
Greece is so beautiful! If you have a chance, stop in a little town in the mountains and get lunch. That's what my group did. We needed our guide to translate for us, but I had the most delicious meatballs, and frankly food I've ever had.
That would be HELL
Mediterranean Europe in the Summer would be HELL.
From someone who's been working in the region, wouldn't be surprised if the bug came from Kakslauttanen. Standards there aren't as lux as it seems. The owner got fined a few years ago for improper waste disposal. I'm happy that you mentioned that there are other Glass Igloo hotels. Would love to see you back in Finnish Lapland again, not necessarily for a video
Thanks for the information!!
Yeah food poisoning hits hard and _fast_ ; they had to have got it from Kakslauttanen.
Judging by all the baggage sledges thrown about in the area and not being picked up, what else are they failing to do?
Which other Igloo hotel would you recommend?
I second the question of where do you think ts the best resort to visit in the region?
Wow! Such a trip! Happy to see trying everything winter offers! 🤩
i have loved this entire series!! as someone who doesn’t/can’t travel much it’s very cool to see you and Tyler’s experiences :)
As a Finn I loved Safiyas' way of pronouncing Kakslautanen and the reaction on the Sweden- Finland border.
i love your travel/hotel videos so much!!
Loooved the video! It's great how you're so thorough with everything and you two always make the most out of your travel experience 😄 would love to see more videos of you going to unusual spots!
As a Finn I am just so apologetic for them not even taking a snowmobile ride to your cabin with your luggage and for that price point the zebra print is unforgivable. Also sad you caught a stomach flu :( dis you taste reindeer? They’re ofc cuter alive :-D THE PUPPIES, my friend used to work there as a sleigh dogs’ assistant.
Oh I need to find reindeer meet at my place, is it similar to deer or moose in taste?
@@unnamellie probably, I have no experience in those. Very "gamey" and maybe smoky in my opinion? Amazing with mashed potatoes and lingonberry jam :)
The zebra print and short curtains were giving a cheap Air BnB vibe. I would be bothered too, but luckily they're so optimistic; the experience definitely made up for it, I'm sure!
@@Vale-ql6wm yeah its such a strange decor choice that just cheapens the look of the place so so much... its kind of bizarre. i never would have thought these glass igloos would look like that inside lol they always look so fancy and modern on the outside .. even just plain white bedding wouldve been much better.
Definitely would love a Mediterranean version of this series!
I love all your travel videos! I think no matter where you go, you guys would make it a fun adventure!! Thank you for sharing so much uplifting content.
That looks like a fun place to visit 🥰
Thank you for taking us along with you on your trip 🥰
I think it would be super cool if you guys traveled to Japan and went to all the different themed cafes there!!
Also I suggest the giraffe manor in South Africa as an unusual hotel experience because I’m totally curious about this “stay with the giraffes” thing. Or if you need something closer to home for a series you could always run through all the crazy hotels at Disney world, lol
Now there's a video
My first thought was also a South African safari, because I just heard about tree lodges where you can sleep outside in the bush.
MORE ADVENTURES! I love them! ♥
It’s always a good day when safiya makes a video!
@ASHLEY TANAY Yeah!
I agree! I'm so happy 😁
@Saifya Nygraad 🅥 no one click this link. It’s a hack
@@Didenne they changed their name…
@@Didenne and message wtf
Now that you’ve experienced the cold I think you should try desert camping in tents and stuff! I’d love to hear what you think since it’s been on my bucket list forever. Also, thank you so much for your Vegas series! I never had an interest in Vegas and now I’m here right now having a great time and visiting many of your recommendations!
From a Vegas local, hope you're having a good time in town!
It looked so magical and fun! 100% added to my travel list!
Okay, I actually loved everything about this trip, like this is definitely my dream vacation. The glass igloos are gorgeous to stay in, all the animals are adorable, the sauna + frozen plunge experience definitely looks both thrilling and relaxing, the expeditions into the woods were SO pretty, and those hot chocolates look bomb even if you didn’t just come back from dog sledding. Every shot into the distance was awe-strikingly beautiful, and god, I can’t tell you how much the little kid in me lit up watching this video. I grew up in a place devoid of snow so this looks like a dream!
I hope you get to experience it, sometime! I'm Finnish myself, and we are definitely proud of our nature, here. One of my own favorite winter experiences was the winter biology field course I took some years ago, with our group cross country skiing through the frozen forests and mires of a national park, while it was all sunshine and powdered snow, during daytime. The way snow glimmers in sunlight never ceases to amaze me!
I definitely recommend our strongest relaxation tradition, sauna, as well as the avanto-swimming (dipping into the frozen lake), although, to be perfectly honest with you, I've never done the winter swimming, myself! Only late autumn swimming, without snow and ice :'D There is an alternative though, which is taking a roll in the powdered snow in only your bathing suit or naked, and running back to sauna, that one I have done many times! But you need soft powder snow for that to be a good experience :D I definitely should try the avanto next winter, though, need to be able to call myself a true Finn and all that xD
Same here growing up in a tropical country, my dream is to experience a proper tundra climate. Watching Northern lights has been a childhood dream of mine
I'm so sorry to hear you guys and Melissa got sick! I hope that didn't ruin the end of your expedition. It seems like you still had a lot of fun. I am glad you guys got to the the Aurora Borealis dancing in the night sky. It's a definite bucket list item for me. 🥰
The part where they were on a husky sled ride with a stomach bug was hilarious
I also hope it was not noro as they traveled on plain the next day.
@@pompulatytto7514 yeah unfortunately it might have been, I hope she was okay during the flight 🥲🥲
You guys are now my favorite travel UA-camrs I would watch you go anywhere!!
This is why winter is my favorite season ❄️🏂
Next up: Saf and Tyler stay at all the Disney World resorts… and try all the snacks. And/or try all the international Disney parks/resorts. Love your videos!
That would be great! They could also try one of the Disney parks not in US if they want to compare to what they know.
Fun fact: The word "sauna" is the only finnish word that has been adobted into international use in multible languages. I think it's the only word in english adopted from finnish.
My mom does ice bathing (avantouinti; avanto = an opening in a frozen lake, uinti = swimming) throughout the winter in a dedicated swimming spot in a lake nearby with the water kept in motion mechanically in order to keep it from freezing over. She swims multible rounds in this small pool sized pond. I'd like to start too but the capital city area is basically the only place in southern Finland where every neighborhood doesn't have a lake nearby. My dad describes ice bathing like this: "It's as fun as banging your hed to a wall - feels really good when you stop."
I'm so glad you got to visit Finland and had fun!
It's not the only word however the other is a type of stone so not as used or known as sauna. Rapakivi granite is the other I could think of.
So many comments that this one may be totally already written BUT in Sweden we have this "flue" we simply call wintervomit, that´s a nice name isn´t it? I would guess that´s what happened to you guys :( It´s really intense and spreads like crazy and just for the fun of it we now have that bug all year around, the feeling of getting sick in "Wintervomit" in July is not making anything better.... I hope you like our part of the world anyway, I live in the Swedish Lappland myself :)
As a Finn myself, I find these types of videos so entertaining. I love to see how people react to our traditions. :D
As a Finn, I'm so glad you visited Finland and liked it!
It is now on my bucket list!
The border crossing being mostly uneventful in Europe is something I’ve never really noticed until our American exchange student in school pointed it out on a trip. I absolutely love travelling and I’m so happy that you often don’t even realise you crossed the border, I would hate to have to do all kinds of things just to get into a different country lol
I probably rewatched the dogs part 10+ times... THEYRE SO CUTE
These videos are so freaking cool every-time i watch any video on this channel, i always end up texting my partner asking him to make this our next trip destination or add this in our to-visit-list. There are so many places on earth which are not mainstream tourist destinations but would be such unique one of their kind experiences!! Thank you so much to your entire team for such great content!!
I've tried to explain to my (nonnative Finn) husband that you can hear when it is cold and in this video you can hear how cold it is just from the foot steps.
You seriously need to start a travel series. These unique hotel stays are so cool to see
i love the struggle parts of staying at these places. This is the type of travel content we all need.
These frozen travel vlogs are actually fire! Love this series, and would love to see you do more ice / cryo therapy stuffs. I'm starting that routine myself, so it would be cool to have your vlogs going into that adventure!
As someone who developed a roaring head cold about 30 minutes into an 8 hour transatlantic flight, which ended up with 2 more connecting flights about 1 hr each, you have my sincerest sympathies. The pressure makes everything insanely more miserable than it would be in normal conditions.
What's a head cold?
My sincerest condolences.
@Snow999 Ok so when you get a cold your symptoms can appear in your head or in your chest. For me a cold usually starts with a runny and stuffed up nose, and in extreme cases pugged up ears, this is what is a classic head cold. Then I start a sore throat and coughing/respiratory symptoms, and this is what we call a chest cold.
Now the big deal about flying with a head cold is the pressure changes. When your drainage system goes down due to a cold you can’t really pot your ears to equalize the pressure as well, it sometimes at all. This is really painful. It’s partly why babies cry a lot on airplane. They can’t regulate their pressure system as well as we can so flying can be legit uncomfortable or even painful for them. So yeah. Hope that’s an understandable explanation.
@@MissCaraMint Thanks for explaining. I understood it.
I'm so glad you enjoyed Finland, but it's sad to hear about the stomach bug. It's sadly quite common during winter/spring time over here. But as a Finn, i do hope you'll visit Finland again, but in summer! And i also would love to hear your opinion about our (biased but true) underrated cusine!! There's a Moomin themed Ice cave (full of amazing ice sculptures) in Leppävirta, Moomin world in Naantali, also many other finnish summer activities!
And also Rovaniemi's Santa village is the most known place, when it comes to Santa Claus! They film the country's iconic live tv show, where many kids call just to talk to Santa!!
Oh my, we are coming to lapland end of year. I wonder if we can make Moominworld too. We love the Moomins here!
@@ILikeBirds80 Moomin world is open during Summer.
Ahh, ok thanks. I hope I see some Moominstuff somewhere though!
@@ILikeBirds80 if you want to see more moomin stuff, you can go to the moomin museum in Tampere. also Tampere has other great places (even as a Finn myself)
Is it? I've had like one food poisoning in my whole life (but this probably wasn't a case of food poisoning anyway)
