Ep.13 - Finnish Lapland

Ep.13 - Finnish Lapland

We welcome John to the show who talks to us about his time spending 8 days in Finnish Lapland.

From husky safaris, frozen lakes, night trains and the big man himself - Santa Claus - I hope you like this episode!

Lapland has always been a place that entices most. From the beautiful snow in the winter, the eternal day in the summer, and the Northern Lights.

This place is on many people's bucket list!

A Week In The Arctic Circle

Starting our journey in Helsinki, John quickly moves into the artic circle to say at the Kakslauttanen glass igloo resort.

Hear how he talks about his experience with the husky safari (dog sledding), seeing frozen lakes and more.

Crucially, what surprised him the most was the people. If you know much of the stereotype, you're probably expecting me to say how abrupt they were?

Wrong.

John tells us how the people could not have been more friendly and willing to help when needed.

https://linktr.ee/betweenthemountains  In this episode, I go over my recent trip to Georgia to climb Mount Kazbek day by day. It's just impossible to include every detail and even when editing I remembered bits that would have been fantastic to include. But tomorrow I'll remember even more.  I also cut in segments from interviews I did with three of the people from the trip.  I hope you enjoy it!  ------------------------------------------- If you enjoy the show please: Subscribe/follow so that you don’t miss another episode; Share with a friend;  Leave a rating on iTunes; and Leave a rating on Spotify (press the three dots).
