Arctic Adventures in Lapland, Finland!!!

We travel into the Arctic Circle to explore Lapland, home to Europe's last indigenous people, the Sámi, traditionally nomadic reindeer herders and fishermen who are adapting to the modern era.

Rare to see this well done video about Finland, great job! Saying this as a Finnish citizen..

[@vagabrothers]

Thank you Robert! We loved it up there, wish we could have spent more time! :)

[@DCarlosMurillo]

I've been watching your videos since the trip around the world. I'm always jealous of the amazing travel opportunities you guys get. But I've never been more jealous than today. What an amazing place to go visit.

[@vagabrothers]

Hey Carlos! Thank you for watching and being with us for so long. We are glad we've been able to help show you some of the places we've been lucky enough to visit. Hope you stick around, there's plenty more on the way. Cheers!

[@0Lo6V7eR0]

I am literally in love. Been watching ya'll for years now and I am so jealous of your job! You guys inspire me! Thank you for everything you do!

[@jaimetrevino4650]

I've been watching traveling videos for a few hours now and it's not easy to find real interesting, not-so-mainstream-turistic, with awesome landscape footage, interviewing locals and even educational videos like what you guys make. Keep doing it! Me, I'm on my way to look for a relocation somewhere in the world lol. Cheers from Monterrey, Mexico!

[@marikaalander878]

Thank vagabrothers and hugh thank you to visit our country😊😊

[@vagabrothers]

It was our pleasure! Thank you for watching!! We come back in January!

It`s Funny to know new things about Finland, Finland is my Homeland1

[@teepannu8501]

This number 1 is not part of my comment

[@Sipulinsiemen]

Love your videos about Finland!! Funny and interestingly written and beautifully filmed. I was born in Lapland so it's nice to know you went there and liked it :)

[@vagabrothers]

Very cool! Thanks for watching!

[@elmerimikkonen3661]

I live in Finland and i sm proud to live in this beatiful country.

[@skoky76]

I went to Kemijarvi and Rovaniemi when I was as a student in Tampere. It was in November 2000, i love Finland and Lapland is just wonderful. I still remember night sky in Lapland.., sauna, pure nature, lake and cabin by the lake... we did a day trek there. I haven't been there since then unfortunately... but i recommend to anybody. in Whole Scandinavia there is wonderful, clean nature.

[@iilanadottir9556]

Thieves is the correct adjective for this shity company. Jón Þór Gunnarsson is the company owner. Company have a CEO ( how strange ... ) but he problably golf or sleep to much or just like to do the way they act on the company, Vikingur type. Maybe it is the Icelandic way to do the things. ..... The name is Jón Þór Gunnarsson . Running a company with customers at the door asking for services is one thing, but when things get bad there, you need special management qualities and skills to counter the bad results. It is at these times that the difference between good management skills and crap is noticeable.

[@worship_sleep]

Amazing that you came to visit my country! Great job with the video guys!

[@vagabrothers]

Thank you for watching!

[@sofiameri4673]

Jeah! Lapland is my favourite skiholiday place :) Ja revontulet on makeit :DD

Wow this video is amazing!😍 I'm from Finland & nature here is so beautiful, thanks for this video!❤️

[@XenonThargoth]

Yeah! Good job guys. -Guy originally from Utsjoki

[@Aiironic]

Aw the reindeer look so cute! I'm glad that the saami are keeping their traditions alive; it's interesting to see the contrast of new versus old as well. So often we hear that new overtakes old, but oftentimes it doesn't have to only be that way.

[@vagabrothers]

Yeah we agree. Very interesting culture and so friendly too. Hope you enjoyed the video. :)

[@kristiinanuorivaara]

I've watched so many videos of Lapland, yours is one of The Best! Good job guys - glad to see you are enjoying our amazing country!

[@vagabrothers]

Very cool! Thanks for watching! We used to be English teachers so we're glad to be able to help!!

[@felipeyoutube04]

Great video and great channel! I love traveling and your videos are so well produced and so entertaining. I've been to Scandinavia in 2013 and I loved it but unfortunately I didn't go further north from the capitals. I had a great time in Helsinki and Turku though and I would love to travel back to Finland and explore its countryside and the Lapland region :) Greetings from Brazil

[@kirsimatikainen6527]

Good job boys!

[@espanjalover]

Awesome video! It makes me wanna go there even though I live in Finland and I've been to Lapland several times :D

[@vagabrothers]

Thank you so much! We love to hear that. You should get back up there while it's still nice and warm :)

[@espanjalover]

vagabrothers Yes I should :), I've only been there when it's freezing cold

[@richard92251]

Amazing video!!! Was in Finland last year but didn´t get to Lapland unfortunately :( Next time I have to, that´s more than beautiful :)

[@ErinsHoose]

You guys' videos never fail to disappoint!

[@vagabrothers]

*blushing*

[@vagabrothers]

Thank you! Your videos are cool too! :)

[@ErinsHoose]

vagabrothers Stumbled across this video again and I'm cracking up at my comment! It makes no sense. I did NOT mean that you guys always disappoint me with your vids :') but I think you know what I meant hahah!

[@alvindueck8227]

Erin they never fail to disappoint lol

[@lifegm1779]

Nice video guys !

[@williamhwl]

That's a huge salmon! Lots of reindeer tho. Great video guys

[@vagabrothers]

Thanks Will!!

[@neeamantere6561]

Hi! I live in Finland and you should go to Lapland in winter! It's amazing expirience!

[@saraallaer8771]

Thank you for this video ! Finland is such an amazing country and I am so happy people are talking about it and showing to the word what a great country it is. Will you come to Belgium one day ? :)

[@vagabrothers]

***** We're hoping to go there this winter. We love Belgian beer and want to explore more of the country! Where should we go?

[@saraallaer8771]

vagabrothers Well Brussels is a must ! Then I think you have to visit other cities to discover belgian history and beautiful places that tourist don't always see. Also it's best to go both north and south (Flanders and Wallonia) to feel the different ambiances and meet different people, discover different point of vue,... And if you like outdoors activities, hiking, biking,... you need to go to the Ardennes.

[@graviteton]

Incredible work lads!! What a killer summer in Europe! Sharing this video with some folks here in Nepal...they can't believe places like Finnish Lapland exist!! Catch you in SD in a little over a week. -Polly

[@vagabrothers]

Cheers Pauly!!

[@Tipi83]

Going up there (Ivalo and Inari) in about 2 weeks from now to see my sisters and grandparents and couple of cousins. My grandparents are Inari Sami people and they have lots and lots of reindeers. =) I like Lapland, it's so freakin' quiet up there that you can hear the emptiness of your thick skull.. =D Oh man, smoked salmon is the best! Did you get to taste reindeer meat, that is awesome too, can't wait to get to eat my grandmothers cookings.. =)

[@annivoutilainen7897]

Haha, i live there :P Amazing video!! :)

[@XxlexalifexX]

you have to come visit GERMANY! Freiburg, Hannover, Hamburg, Berlin.. there is a huge range to discover! It's beautiful, exciting and u can drive on the motorway as much as u like, no limits! come over!

[@vagabrothers]

+XxlexalifexX we have a few videos on our channel from Germany. Go watch!

[@TheOnniMon]

Lemmenjoki means Love River :D. By the way I live in Lapland

[@vagabrothers]

Well we loved it too! Thanks for sharing the translation. :)

[@TheOnniMon]

You're welcome! :)

[@WMfin]

I am dreaming of travelling world but even though I am finn I still haven't visited lapland well enough. I would love to have couple of months spare time and hike in there as long as I want ^^

[@carolinedavis8702]

Finnish! But I've never been to Finland :( On my bucket list though for sure

[@oliviajade8800]

I've been here in the winter it was amazing and so beautiful !! Where will your next adventure be ??

[@vagabrothers]

We spent the summer filming in Europe, so there will be a few more episodes from Finland, then over to Spain, France and Switzerland. Lots of adventures coming up in the next few weeks!

[@l-xa6570]

Yes u come Suomi,Finland come Oulu

[@tillgone]

Nice video! I live in Ivalo! :)

[@MrPelaajaiset]

WoW! Kiitos, että vierailette Suomessa! :D

[@MrWilliamo]

Sweet video guys! Would love to join you on an adventure one day :)

[@vagabrothers]

Thank you! Maybe we will cross paths in the future! Safe travels!

[@Scandilady]

Hei Lappi, upeassa Suomessa, my home.

[@wmkirkmoore]

Another primo vagadventure, well shot and edited....thanks guys! One question: with 24/7 daylight, when did you sleep (besides in that canoe)? I'm guessing "not much".

[@vagabrothers]

wmkirkmoore Hey Kirk! Thanks for the kudos. As for sleeping, there were a few days when we got a bit off balance and had mild doses of insomnia. But nothing too hard to handle!

[@keriables]

Lapland & Rovaniemi look like they'd be a lot of fun in winter as well. Have you guys been there during the winter? And congratulations on the 10,000 subscribers!! 😃

[@vagabrothers]

Hey Keri! We hear Lapland in the early spring is the best... Daylight and northern lights! We haven't been there in the winter but would love to go. Thanks for being one of our original subscribers!! :)

[@keriables]

Thank you for inspiring me to get out & see new places & experience new things, whether it's in my own backyard or across the world!

[@djjormagaming9648]

vagabrothers it is awesome in the winter! I hope you can go there in the winter and there is THE santa! lol

[@djjormagaming9648]

vagabrothers it is awesome in the winter! I hope you can go there in the winter and there is THE santa! lol

[@echa9446]

amazing new knowledge for me about the Sami people...thanks 😍 and 40kg of salmon in bright midnight (or should i say daylight 😂)??

[@nathaniels3700]

hey absolutely love your videos! any chance you guys will be coming to Asia anytime soon? say, Singapore in particular?

[@bygonebee9129]

Very nice videos and good job finding your way up to Lapland too. You seem to have been in Inari and Lemmenjoki area at the same time I was. Too bad I didn't run into you guys, could have taken you gold prospecting. :)

[@vagabrothers]

That would have been awesome! Next time we will take you up on that!

[@bygonebee9129]

vagabrothers It was. :) It's hard work but the freedom of it and the scenery around you makes it feel less like work and more like an adventure. Not to mention that all that manual labor of digging and hiking combined with the clean air and water made me feel awesome compared to my normal citylife. I try to spend a week or two in Lapland every summer so if you end up coming back the regular goldminers I visited seem to be very happy to welcome guests as their community is very small and far away from everything. Some of them might not speak any english but as long as you come with a bottle or two things will work out. :)

[@sofiameri4673]

So cool video guys! Have you been in Helsinki? I lived near there, but now I live in Norway. Mut anyway, I love this video! :)

[@vagabrothers]

Hey Softari thanks for watching and commenting! We have been to Helsinki and loved it. Can't wait to properly explore Norway! Here is our Helsinki video ->HELSINKI - FINLAND'S CAPITAL OF STYLE

[@Msmotionocean]

Fun you experiencing the Nordic countries! Aaaand you've ever been to Norway ;)

[@vagabrothers]

Didn't you see in the video at 2:30??? But we were only there for a few hours.

[@Msmotionocean]

vagabrothers yeah, I was supposed to write "even" not "ever" ooops sorry! I find it cool! You should go whale watching and see the northern lights at the rocketrange!

[@slynostalgic7610]

I'm from Finland, Rovaniemi :D
