My reindeer friend

What's your number 1 Bucket List trip?  For me, it was to see the Northern Lights, play with reindeer, drive a husky sled, and play in the Nordic snow.  


In February 2018, my husband and I went to Finland for my birthday.  We spent 3 nights in Helsinki, then flew to Lapland and spent 5 nights in Saariselka.  


Wikipedia says for the past three years the Finns are the happiest people in the world  and this is so true! Anywhere on the streets, people come up to you and ask if you need any help. Now, I'm from NJ...so, what?!?  English is spoken everywhere and Helsinki is a great combination of old world tradition and cosmopolitan habits.  The BEST cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate in the world! 


Lapland....amazing. We stayed at an all inclusive wilderness resort and had our own "aurora cabin" which had heated ceiling windows facing north to see the aurora, or the Northern Lights.  We did see the aurora and it changed my life.  Mesmerizing. We did all of the above activities, and more.  You have never seen so much snow until you go to Lapland. It's like being in a snow globe.  You truly feel like Rudolph, Clarice and Burl Ives will come around the corner....magical!


Call me to help you plan this once in a lifetime trip.  My expertise and first hand experience will allow me to create an amazing memory for you and your family.
