This is what our grandparents and/or their parents fought for. A peaceful land of Finland and well being of everyone. Happy independence day Finland and thanks to all war veterans. Let's keep Finland up and doing great! 🇫🇮
A beautiful country I can’t wait to revisit someday! ❤❤❤❤❤
Bravo!
Here, here!!!👍👍😀
@Jason Grow up man! Don´t just write rubbish 😕
@Jason If you feel like that, then do so. Nothing is against that. From my point of view, European Union gives us a little bit more rights than before and it also gives us a freedom to visit globally in all the european union countries without a visa or time limit of staying.
The husky sledding looked so much fun! Huskies love to run, mine does! We've done scootering in the snow together, but not sledding. Seeing the cute puppies reignited my need to get a husky puppy friend for K'eyush! I just love that crunch of snow, such an amazing holiday!
Hehehe the crunching of the snow is so satisfying isn’t it.!! The dogs were so excited to run 😂 I wish I had their enthusiasm hahaa xxx
I cannot get over how stunning it all is .. That scenery is beyond magical with so much White but little pops of Red from the buildings just wow :) it has both cosy and freezing vibes at the same time loved this x
Even as a finn that place is magic.. though we usually just drive by the santa village and head to the ski resorts and natural parks 😂
It’s so beautiful it really is one of the nicest places I’ve visited! ❤
Hì! Thanks for the wonderful vlog. I used to work there in Santa Claus Village back in the 90's. The place has grown a lot since then. I also lived near by. Once in January 1998 it was really cold, it was -45 celsius for three days and over -30 celsius for three weeks. That was fun!Usually there is much more snow by this time, glad you got the wibe without that loads of it. You made me miss Rovaniemi and Lapland, I don't live there any more, so thanks a lot😀. Have a great time there!
Wow that is so hecking cool thank you for sharing that omg ~45?! That’s so cold I can’t even imagine that 😂 ❤
So in love with this place, just what I imagine a white Christmas to be like. Usually around 30oC here in Australia at Christmas
omg the doggo telling Dean to keep going
Not me literally crying of happiness when they showed Oliver
Absolutely love your travels. Lapland is now on MY bucket list!
Beautifully filmed
Huge compliment 🤍🤍 tysm 🥹🥹🥹
Looks so amazing. Lovely vlog. Xx
I am absolutely loving your Lapland videos! You've inspired me to add this straight to the top of my travel bucket list! Can't wait to see more :)
This looks like a winter wonderland dream come true! 😍😍😍
What a beautiful place! thank you so much for sharing, I loved seeing the puppies!
Thank you for sharing this Christmas magic with us 🎄 I feel so festive now 🥰
I Have loved watching these… really puts you in a holiday mood!
Enjoying your Lapland series 🇫🇮 look forward to more.
So happy you like them 🥹🤍
I just love these Lapland videos SO much! Especially, I think, because you both seem to enjoy Rovaniemi so much. ❤️
Loving your Vlogmas and watching your adventures. Thanks for taking us along!
So happy your enjoying them ❤❤❤ thank you so much for watching ❤
This literally warms my heart, I was getting emosh when you were showing your wee husky ride! It’s such a dreamy place to be! ❄️🎄
Loving these vlogs - appreciate them immensely - can't wait to go to lapland one day
What a magical trip! Thank you for sharing with us :)
First time seeing your videos but it's amazing you took us along on your trip. You're so bright and happy and seeing you enjoy things and experiences was so much fun!
I love seeing those gorgeous puppies and dogs.❤❤❤
I had a husky farm in rovaniemi with my husband. We had to sell it during covid time case we absolutely could not afford it. I miss the dogs, but not the tourists cause some of them where "not so nice." And yes, the dogs absolutely love being outside, no matter how cold it was, I could never get them to come inside the house.
Absolutely loving this vlog series ☺️ I want to go to Lapland!!! ♥️ xxx
Another amazing vlog, I loved it. Kid you not, the husky sled part brought tears to my eyes, it has absolutely been the number 1 activity on my bucketlist for sooo long now and I'm sure, this is the place I want to visit the most. It has everything I could ever wish for. Thank you sooo so much for sharing your trip to Lapland with us! 💕
I love your travel videos can’t get enough 🥰😍 I could watch n hour or two if not more you guys are my fav nice to see more of dean and dean being more vocal too love you guys so much now I want Chinese food lol 🥰😍💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 love you guys so much I’ll wait for another upload 🥰👏👏
omg how absolutely gorgeous! It's currently -40 outside where I am here in Canada and this made me feel so cozy! I think I should go make myself some hot chocolate haha. And wow I think I'll also look into doing dog sledding, it never occurred to me that we probably have something like that available to the public here but it looked like sooo much fun and I would love to go fast!!
Like I said in your last video, I am so so happy had a wonderful time in our small country, and know that you are warmly welcome back every time.
Few people, but not a small country. Bigger than the UK, almost as big as Germany.
Loved seeing you so excited! I've lived in Finland my whole life but have never been to Rovaniemi. It's definitely on my bucket list now ☺️
Totally put me in the Christmas spirit
Oh my goodness, what a beautiful place to visit, thankyou for showing this place, now because I watched backward I need to watch the other video of Lapland
Happy to see you enjoyed your time in my hometown ✨
Another winter wonderland vlog yay! It’s so snowy and beautiful and those dogs. I just love puppies!!❤❤
Hehehe so happy your enjoying them ❤
Oh yes, the light there is otherworldly! Just incredible! Te only other time I’ve seen something like that is when I was in Greece and Florence. Must be why people love going there for painting.
It's nice to see that you had a good time here in Finland. :) Even though I live here (in Helsinki), I visit Lapland many times a year because it is soooo damn magical. Last month we also visited Santa's village, again, but I really recommend going hiking in the fells, the views are incredible! :)
Have a wonderful Christmas everyone :)
Wooow my fav video of all of your travel videos. So beautiful, You inspired me to go next year with my family ❤
Brilliant vlog Catherine, thanks☺👍
Tysm for watching 🥹🤍
Aww, the husky ride! I feel my temperature going down watching yous ❄️
A lovely vlog though, thanks for sharing your experiences with us ⭐️🎄
Hehehe it was very cold 😂 ❤
Ahhhh the doggies!!! Huskies have been my favourite dog breed ever since/because of the Snow Dogs movie hahaha. Also the scenery is absolutely stunning!!! Thank you for sharing this vlog series, I'm loving it 😍😍😍
i never visited santa's village, but this was lovely video!
Great video! My wife and I are going at the start of March 2023 - cannot wait! Your video is making me excited for it already :D
The little lodge's that reminded you of Tipi's are called "kota" in Finnish ☺The design is similar to Native American's Tipi but it is for very different purposes, it was used by the indigenous people of the arctic treeless plains to follow their reindeer herds. Sami people still use it as temporary shelter. Sami are actually the only indigineus people in the EU! Sami people have multiple different words for them in different Sami languages.
The Finnish word "kota" actually used to mean "home" in pre-historic times, which is where the Finnish word for home "koti" derived from. Finnish people stopped living in them in pre-historic times already, but to this day some people have them in their yards for outdoor cooking purposes etc.
Those huskies were so cute and so happy to be doing their job. That would've been such a fun time!
Also that Chinese food looked delicious!
That was a magical video. Lovely
Tysm 🥹⭐️🌸
I have a husky mix, seeing the dogs that give rides. ❤❤❤ Dean holding a pup, makes me want another one! They r so strong. I really want to go to Lapland!
heheh thats so so cool, Huskys are beautiful animals 🌸
Love this series so much! Thank you katnipp!!! Your personality is literally the cutest!!!! 🤭
Oh my gosh so happy your enjoying them 🤍🥹🥹🥹🥹
Wow that looks so beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I wish someday we get to go there.❤
I hope you do get there! It’s a wonderful place! ❤
Loved the puppies!! How stinking cute!
🥹🥹🥹🤍🤍 so so cute 🐶
Love it! These vlogs are getting me ready for our winter vacation to Park City, Utah. We are taking my 14yo and 16yo kids snow skiing and snowmobiling for the first time. We will be there the week before Christmas. Eeek!
These videos are making me want to go to Lapland!! Amazing!! I’m loving these vlogs
And this is the most commercial (and small) part of it. You should direct more North to Levi and Ylläs region for example. They are big ski resorts but they offer hiking, snow walking, snow mobile and husky safaries aswell and the most importantly: better touch the nature of Lapland. In the middle of nowhere where is total silence and beauty.
It’s so beautiful with all the frosted trees and buildings. Stepping into the Arctic Circle is amazing, too!
🥹🥹🤍🤍🤍 a beautiful part of the world!
I really like the vlogmas intro
Wellcome to Finland, my homecountry ❤
woooppp wopp just what i need after work!!
Heheh hope you enjoyed it ❤
Thanks for taking us along on your adventures.
Thank you for watching ❤
@@catherinekayy I enjoy watching both Katnipp and your personal channels! I don’t miss a one.
I'm so jealous. Thank you for sharing your experience with us who will never get to do this.
Thank you so much for watching ❤
Aww this looks amazing! Oh I feel how cold though. Definately would love to go sometime. Yey xx
Hehehe it was very cold 😂 ❤❤❤❤
Omg love everything I love salmon🥰 Looks so cold there I can feel it through the screen 😂
That salmon was the tastiest salmon I’ve ever had! ❤❤❤❤ yummy hehe
The Husky sledding was amazing, the beauty made me cry :)
🥹🤍🤍🤍🤍 such a magical experience
If i listen to this vid with my eyes closed, i get strong Frasier flashbacks.
one word.... Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! ❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄
tomorrow from Saariselka there and from there to Jämsa
That salmon looks delicious 😋
Omg best salmon ever! ❤ we ended up going back 😂
♥️♥️♥️
Heheh, I'm so glad you got to experience some of the best bits of Finland, it's pretty miserable in the autumn and spring here, where it can be very gray, wet and dark. -10 and colder with snow is Finland at its finest! Wool is your friend in Finland, remember for next time, wool is the best at keeping you warm and breathes well too (scarves, hats, sweaters, socks, with goose down jackets on top), synthetics aren't quite as good! :D Also glad you got to taste some of the salmon, it's a staple food here in the Nordics! Salmon soup is my absolute fav :p And omg those puppies though, I would just walk off with one, so friggin cuties XD
Awesome 👍👍👍😀 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇬🇧🇫🇮🇬🇧🇫🇮🇬🇧
🥹🥹🤍🤍🤍
@@catherinekayy Thanks 👍👍😀♥️
This trip gets better by the video. Its so mesmerizing to see the landscape and the doggies. I love going on an adventure on these vlogs.
It’s a beautiful part of the world ❤
sometimes we drive south to Rovaniemi. It is 700 km each way, but we like it there. Nice hotels in the city.
So much fun to watch!!! Which of the hotels/room style did you choose?
Next time you visit in Finland, you should visit in Ivalo, Saariselkä in Inari :) Those are also very magical places to visit and in Saariselkä there is finlands longest sledding hill :)
My face aches from smiling through the whole vlog ! Omg !! Those puppies ❤❤ so adorable , and Dean looks like he might need a Husky puppy in his life lol , loved this vlog so much ❤️❤️ Sarah x
Hehehe 😂❤ that would. E the cutest! I don’t know if we could handle a husky hehe they seem full of personality hehe ❤ so cute
Dean don't play that 😄👍🏻
The way the Finns do sauna is first, take a short shower, go to sauna, get some beer/cider/longdrink/soda/vichy, get some steam and when you feel enough, go OUTSIDE and if you are a Finn enough: crawl in the snow. Repeat several times. =)
Defo recommenced getting a buff/snood and wearing it over your face the whole time. Or tie a scarf over your face as it will keep your face so warm
The "juice" (glögi) is seasoned with cinnamon and carnation. It is like our non-alcoholic version of Alpine region glühwein. It can be flavoured with redwine and vodka as well. The flamed salmon is a real treat too!
Too bad this is the most commercial (and small) part of Lapland. You should direct more North to Levi and Ylläs region for example. They are big ski resorts but they offer hiking, snow walking, snow mobile and husky safaries aswell and the most importantly: better touch the nature of Lapland. In the middle of nowhere where is total silence and beauty. There you can experience the Magic of Lapland in better scale.
Actually never been there only drove past, since I live in the north of Norway 😊
omg!! the huskies are so bloody cute! That's like my dream lol they look so happy too. I'm sure it warms them up from that freezing weather!
Hehehe they have the thickest fur as well! They are so excited to run 😂 you can see they are in their element on the sleigh hehe they even look back at us when we were going too slow 😂
@@catherinekayy soooo cute 🥺
Where exactly is that Chinese place out the back? We're going next month, yippee!!!
very nice video...how much is the husky and reindeer ride...?
Hi there. Know you flew with Ryanair and stayed at the Santa Claus holiday village but can I ask who you booked with? Did you book with each directly? Thanks 🙏
Which camera did you use to film this trip?
It seems like you got it at such a bargain price too. Would you share who you booked it through etc? Xxx
What dates in November did you go?
Letters to Santa Claus in the USA go to North Pole, Alaska.
Thats not teepee its hut and that not smoked salmon it was fire salmon or blazed salmon. Otherwise, you've enjoyed the trip and got something that you don't have at home, and that's the point of everything.
Some of us have to live here every day. 😉
I watched Tim and now you’res
Never understood why Americans insist that Santa Claus lives on the North Pole!?😳🙁🤪
Has anyone seen reindeers grazing there?🙄
There’s nothing to eat but ice or seals but reindeers are not carnivorous…😣🙁
But in Lappland big herds of reindeers are roaming there and occasionally crossing the roads as witnessed by car drivers. 🤔👌
Detail of the camera?
Something people don't know: Lapland is covering Norway, Sweden, Finland and a bit of Russia bordering nothern Finland.
Very true! But Lapland is also the name of this Finnish region in Lapland. :)
There's close to a meter of snow in Helsinki. Lapland is so overrated :)
I have to admit, I feel bad for Dean in the vids sometimes. Here and over on Katnipp. It seems like when Catherine refers to him and asks his opinion she gives less than a second to respond before moving on to the next thing. And I find myself asking why she bothered.
I dunno. If anyone had any input on it, please let me know.
Dean found his place.. in the sauna alone, like a real finn 😅
Oh dear 😢 this is one of my WORST habits! I really am trying to work on this thank you for making me more aware! I’ve noticed sometimes I do it when I’m super excited about something too!! I hate that side of me! I’m going to make a concious effort to get better ❤ thank you for watching ❤
@@catherinekayy Sure thing. I genuinely enjoy your videos, Catherine and it's easy to tell when you're happy and excited. Which is only one of the reasons they're so great.
I do wish you luck on this, breaking habits can be so difficult. But it's great you already recognize it. And I don't want to make it sound so horrible, I'd be surprised if Dean is much bothered.
@@bleh329 thank you! So much! ❤ I don’t think you came across horrible ❤ just a observation ❤ thank you for watching 🥹 xxxxx
gYoza. Not gOyza 🙈
I’ve been following your journey for quite a while, and as much as I love this channel and think you’re wonderful, you must understand that this husky sleigh ride is Animal abuse and its worst! What you don’t see is what they’re not showing you and I know this because my mom is a veterinarian, and she works with rescued huskies that have lived their entire life and these situations where they are used in exploited to pull slays by being forced to live in horrific conditions outside despite the fact that people think huskies are bred to live this way they cannot! All dogs are pack animals and only wanna do is live inside and live with Their families indoors where it’s warm and cozy, they don’t want to live outside in cages anymore than any other animal dies. I guess unless you’re a polar bear it’s freezing for them, and these animals are forced constantly through beatings with things and starvation to be forced to pull people on the slays and causes severe Ather, arthritis and pain for these animals. It’s irreversible unless it’s caught early and these people are constantly sedating them filling them full of pain relieving drugs to cover up the pain that are causing them but it doesn’t fix their bones and their muscles are deteriorating. According to my mother who’s a vet and specializes in exploiting animals used in the entertainment business. These dogs are kept outside and freezing cold temperatures in these cages because they don’t want them to get used to a nice warm bed. They don’t want them to feel loved, and cuddled and sympathized with they want them to be workers they want them to be enslaved in a life of servitude where they don’t get to make any of their own choices, they just are carded around and used and exploited so people like you unfortunately will pay this horrible operator to beat moisture around on a sleigh, and these animals are pushed to the limit until they can’t do no more and then they’re killed because they’re useless and these animals are cycled through very quickly. They don’t live very long they live a life of torture and pain and live in Animal Person basically, from the time they are puppies all the way to the adults and again they get no love no nothing there treated like basically a working machine and nothing more and yeah, I know you get to go into their enclosure and give them hugs and you can tell me the way they were after so happy to get any kind of attention from anyone but if you seen what went on behind the scenes, you would be thoroughly disgusted. Please don’t support this don’t promote it just don’t have anything to do with it.
Dean, with his built-in unenthusiasm, is the most finnish non-finn I've seen.,
❤❤
