My Dream Trip to Finland 🇫🇮 | Lapland, Santa Claus Village, Icebreakers & Dog Sledding

Описание: This was my first real vacation in two years—no work, no laptop, just pure adventure—and I couldn’t have picked a better place than Finland 🇫🇮❄️

In this episode of Tasty Trails Travel, I’m sharing my winter journey through Helsinki, Lapland, and beyond, including:

An overnight train to Rovaniemi (aka Santa Claus’ hometown 🎅)
Visiting Santa Claus Village and crossing the Arctic Circle
An icebreaker cruise where we walked and swam in frozen seas 🧊
Seeing the Northern Lights (just a little!)
Ethically run reindeer sleigh rides
Staying in a glass igloo hotel for my birthday ✨
-Dog sledding with the fastest, happiest pups ever 🐕❄️
Finnish saunas, great food, and lots of hot drinks
A winter day trip to Tallinn, Estonia
Ending the trip back in Helsinki with amazing meals and city wandering

I also talk about traveling in low season, researching ethical animal tourism, and why this trip meant so much to me after a long stretch without a real break.

If you love winter travel, slow travel, cozy vibes, or just living vicariously through cold-weather adventures—this one’s for you.
