Instagram post 17884444960485612 Greetings from Riisitunturi in Finnish Lapland. This small fell, that reaches 465 meters above sea level, is known for its crown snow-loads.⁠ .⁠ As we climbed, we felt like arctic explorers, as the weather was gray and the visibility very limited. We only saw few other people, and as the evening approached, we were probably the only hikers left in the area.⁠ .⁠ We came looking for snow, and now it can be proclaimed, we have found it!⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #travelbug #bestoffinland #finnishlapland #arcticcircle #visitlapland #ig_finland #lapland #visitfinland #laplandfinland #visitingfinland #discoverfinland #riisitunturi #travellingfinns #inspiredbytravel #traveltimes #exploremoreoutdoors #luontokuvaus #FeelFinnair #yleluonto

How could you say it better!⁠ .⁠ As we have ventured past the Arctic Circle, the daytime in the winter months is extremely short. Depending on how north you are, the polar night lasts from 24 hours on the Arctic Circle during the winter solstice to 52 days in the northernmost village in the EU, Nuorgam. This has also means, that we have had little time to take daylight photos even in mid-January. So during this Lapland trip, we got good light from about 11 AM to 1:30 PM.⁠ .⁠ Which is the northernmost place in the world that you have visited?⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #salla #sallainthemiddleofnowhere #sallatunturi #lappi #onlyinlapland #laplandfinland #outdoorfinland #articcircle #winterwonderland❄️ #travellingfinns #suomiretki #thisisfinland #wanderingsoul #traveldestination #travelaroundtheworld #travelwithme #lonelyplanet #luontoonfi #visitlapland

You might wonder: what the heck is a Kuksa?⁠ .⁠ The Kuksa (or Guksi in Sámi, Kåsa in Swedish) is a wooden hand carved cup, traditionally crafted by the Sámi people of northern Scandinavia from carved birch burl. This is the perfect cup for the wilderness, because your Kuksa should never be washed. 😱 Traditionally, you should either carve your own cup or receive it as a gift.⁠ .⁠ What is your favourite hot beverage?⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #kuksa #teatime☕️ #timefortea #cabininthewoods #cabinliving #cozyvibes #travellingfinns #ourtravels #worldtraveling #thetravellingnomads #traveleverywhere #wanderful_places #fodorsonthego #travelpassion #wheretofindme #travelingourplanet #wanderlusting #wildernessculture
Instagram post 18083678752157166 Nature's wonders 🍃 Kiutaköngäs is a waterfall, or maybe we should call it a be a rapid, in the Oulanka National Park in North Ostrobothnia, Finland, very near the border of Russia. Kiutaköngäs inherited its name from the Sámi word ‘giuuhta’ which refers to a deep gorge. The second part of the word ‘köngäs‘ in turn stands for ‘keävngis’, meaning large waterfall.⁠ . The scale of the place is not comparable to what we have seen around the world, but it's in Finland and there aren't many others around, so it fit our winter adventure perfectly.⁠ . . . . #kiutaköngäs #finnishparks #suomiretki #oulanka #oulankanationalpark #travellingfinns #exploremoreoutdoors #iamatraveller #visualofearth #globewanderer #tripaddicts #passportexpress #getoutandexplore #allaboutadventures #trippics #ventureout #abmtravelbug #followmyjourney #lovetravel #thegreatoutdoors
Instagram post 17843280526932321 The Finnish #cabinlife ☃️ We have shared a neat two-bedroom cottage in Northern Finland in @holidayclub Kuusamon Tropiikki with our close friends. After more than a year of traveling around the world, it's been so great to socialize - face-to-face just is so much different than through Whatsapp calls.⁠ .⁠ Leaving Finland soon again will be much harder than the last time, as we know, how much we will be missing friends and family. At least we now know to try to spend as much time with them as possible. One of the great things in traveling is the fact you learn to appreciate the things you have in your everyday life.⁠ .⁠ Do you prefer a cabin or a hotel room?⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #mökki #mökkielämää #thisisfinland #discoverfinland #visitingfinland #findyourself #wanderluster #letsgoeverywhere #discoverglobe #bestvacations #kuusamo #prettylights #lightsinthedark #cabinlife #cabinlifefinland
Instagram post 18126903034026476 Our chilly adventure has begun in Winter Wonderland 🙌 . Our first destination was Ruka (tunturi/fell/mountain), which is a ski resort and village near the city of Kuusamo in the Northern Finland. We aren't fans of downhill skiing so, we borrowed snowshoes and took the scenic route. . Did you know that snowshoeing is believed to have originated more than 6,000 years ago in Central Asia?⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #snowshoeing #snowshoe #snowshoes #ruka #ulkoilu #rukaskiresort #snowdays#travelcouplelife #coupleslovetravel #adventurebuddy #coupletime #travelingcouple #holdinghands #travellingfinns #travelingaroundtheworld #wonderfulday #travelnow⁠
Instagram post 17898433828421418 In search of snow ❄️ We have now been in Finland for quite some time. We are not fans of winter, but we wanted to see it this year back in Finland. The only problem has been, that the weather has been incredibly warm. In Southern Finland there is no snow at all and you probably couldn't find more gloomy weather. So we decided visit Northern Finland, where there is guaranteed snow in January.⁠ .⁠ But the winter has been bit warm even in Northern Finland. The temperature has gone over 0 degrees Celsius, so the crown snow-loads have disappeared from the trees. Still, we are happy to have found cool snow blankets 🙌⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #kuusamo #visitkuusamo #suomiretki #arcticnature #visitlapland #suomenluonto #ig_week_finland #snowdays #snowtime #travellingfinns #happyadventuring #travelcaptures #travelpassport #travelwithus #travelvibes #travelforlife #globelletravels #travelgirlshub

Do you know the feeling when you have traveled to new exciting city and took hundreds of pics, only to feel disappointed of how they turned out. You just don't have the means to capture the it the way you felt it 😥⁠ .⁠ Don't shoot what it looks like, shoot what it feels like - David Alan Harvey⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #travellingfinns #colorfultravel #inspiredbytravel #traveltalk #travelspam #experiencesoverthings #globetrotteur #instatravellers #followmyadventure #instaglobal #mytravels #traveltips #doyoutravel #topbarcelonaphoto #barcelonaspain #barcelona🇪🇸 #liveyouradventure
