Lappland - home to the Sami people
Lapland (Swedish: Lappland) is the name of the cultural region traditionally inhabited by the Sami people. It is located in Northern Europe & spans over 4 countries: Norway, Sweden, Finland, & Russia.
Recently, we've made a roadtrip of 3,266km within this region to see the differences between Norway, Sweden, & a bit of Finland. Although we missed the midnight sun this time, the sky wasn't in total darkness even when it passed midnight when travelling into the far north. It was weird to run into golfers waiting to tee-off at 3am in Bjorkliden.
Obviously, we didn't get to visit santa claus during summer... but we ran into A LOT of his little helpers popping out in the middle of nowhere ; )
