I've been loving this series of yours from Rovaniemi. I feel like Finland falls inbetween these big countries and gets often unnoticed although we're filled with culture. As a proud Finn, my breath is often taken by our beautiful nature - especially during winter time when the trees and the ground is just covered in snow. Thank you so much for showcasing Finland in such beautiful way. Love from Finland, Helsinki! Hyvää joulua! ❤🎄

@catherinekayy Год назад

Its so so so beautiful I really want to come back and come to Helsinki! And other areas of Finland you live in a beautiful part of the world thank you so much for watching and commenting! YOU DA BEST

@ClairesCraftyCorner Год назад

Oh goodness . So totally magical wow .. really loved this 😍😍 I'm not sure why I fully expected Reindeer to be huge lol not like a Horse but easily the size of a Donkey 🤣🤣 they look so much smaller than I expected and how beautiful they are 😍 fancy a hot chocolate now 😍

@catherinekayy Год назад

heheh I know what you mean, almost like big stags! they are quite small! heheh so so happy you enjoyed it thank you so much for watching!

@ClairesCraftyCorner Год назад

@catherinekayy yesss Stags 🤣🤣 why didn't I think of Stags lol the most similar animal

@vicm7870 Год назад

I was once an elf at a Santa's grotto in northern England where I looked after the reindeer. It was very common for full grown adults to argue with me that the reindeer weren't real, they were made up like unicorns even though they were feeding actual reindeer (assumed they were "just" deer). They either still didn't believe me and thought I was staying in character or you would literally see their minds blown that they were real all along 🤣

@catherinekayy Год назад

oh my gosh thats so so cool, hahah oh really 🤣 thats SOOOO funny I cant believe even adults didnt bealive yu hehehe this made. me giggle thank you for sharing this story!

When I was a kid, around age 4 or 5, my grandparents took me to Santa’s Land in Cherokee, North Carolina. It wasn’t nearly as fancy as this, but it was one of the best times of my life at that age.

I've watched all 3 of your Lapland videos, and I love them all and you're so cute, so now I'm Subscribed and I'm looking forward to watching all of your other videos now. The scenery is stunning and the Reindeer are just adorable, and very real, just like Unicorns! Happy Christmas to you and anyone reading this Xxx

Maybe you see a reindeer with only one horn, that's normal! Reindeer grow new antlers EVERY year. Males drop them in winter and females in spring. Make a wish if you see a horn fall.

fun health tip for future trips, if you cover your nose you're way less likley to get a cold. This can be a scarf, mask, balaclave or a mix of them. Turns out the cells that keep you health die off when your nose gets even just 9 degrees colder.

@Tazavoo Год назад

Even as a Finn myself, this seems crazy expensive. Sure, the season is very short, but the 39€ for example is on par with what a ticket to a full-blown theme park costs.

@jemhams Год назад

Yup seasonal travel to Lapland seems really expensive for what you would get out of it as a Finnish person. I get it's an experience like no other for foreign travellers but I can experience the same foods and magical winter atmosphere at home as well.

@catherinekayy Год назад
