As a non-native Finnish speaker, I would like to understand what you talk about with other lady while kneading the dough. Also, bear watching seems to be so much fun! I wanna be there soon to watch those bears in peaceful nature. I really enjoyed this Lapland adventure. Thanks!!!

Caption or subtitle would be very much appreciated for that part where you speak Finnish while kneading.

Greetings from rural Australia. Today my husband and I were going to arrive in Finland for a week, to visit my friend. We started writing as penpals when we were 8 and 9 years of age. She is from Rovaniemi but now is a teacher in Vantaa. Hopefully we can still visit in a year or 2. Thank you for sharing. Your video shows Finland as a truly beautiful place.

[@HerFinland]

Lee Golder Oh thank you soo much for your comment. 🙏 Love hearing you have been penpals for such a long time 😍 That is just precious! I’m sure that when your trip will happen, it will be fantastic! 🧡

[@yohji1979]

@@HerFinland it's hard to have a lot of time to see all this things, and the budget :) we come from south of France and it's not always easy, but we hoped to come soon if covid authorized us, and perhaps in snow period :)
