CANOEING IN LAPLAND, FINLAND

[@LaviniaDeMortalium]

The guide's accent sounds like a mix between Italian/Japanese/Spanish, which is absolutely adorable.

[@gokulauri]

May Finnish people have sort of a bad pronunciation. Especially the older people

[@TheElderize]

gokulauri yy. sometimes ppl dont belive that im finnish, because of my good prononucing, which.. really isn't even that good

[@Aurinkohirvi]

Lavinia you really nailed it! Those three languages remind Finnish very much so, by sound. Italian has about same vowels / consonant ratio as Finnish does. I've started to learn Japanese couple of times because Japanese words are so easy for a Finn to pronounce.

[@jhoooaguarin9616]

This whole series of videos was a stroll down the memory lane. You visited so many places I remember from my childhood and brought back so many memories. I need to go back to Lapland soon. Thank you so much for these videos!

[@chefjanet2k]

I now have a mad crush on your guide! So cute! Thanks for taking me along today! Such beauty. You are one lucky lady.

[@travbuddy144]

I loved the relaxing view of the forest. I love hiking in cool, northern woods. I really appreciate you guys' videos. I will be visiting Finland myself soon.

[@renelledaigle]

Finland wasn't one of my «must travel to places» but now I really feel like going. So cool that the government pays for the upkeep of those facilities. The equivalent in Canada would be around 100$. The guide seemed so nice!

[@MrAntsunator]

All money comes from Finns' taxes that they are "free". In the other hand, we have free school and other free facilities.

[@CreativeHuckleBerry]

Anton Suni funny thing is... you are 100% right

[@Aurinkohirvi]

Anton Suni: but the money they use to build the houses, returns back in circulation when builders buy Finnish stuff and services. So the money you use domestically, doesn't really cost anything to the nation. People resist taxes, because the money is transferred to someone else. Things that you buy from foreign countries, that money the nation loses. Taxation is a good way to get infrastucture built, and it is the work done that matters. Buy domestic!

[@KumiankkaShMn]

im so glad that you guys visited lapland and spend time in the nature too! it is important to see a place that is not ruined by humans.

[@MrHirska]

Sallan poropuistosta, päivää!

[@hattivattiensaari]

When you said "you try to repeat that" in the very beginning when introducing your guide, I was all "not a problem" but then again, I am a Finn. :D Love watching these, and I'm extremely happy that you are visiting Finland, yay! And you pronounced Finnish quite well too. :3

[@Dutchified]

Did you see the video I did from my recent visit to Helsinki? What a great city. Loved it.

[@CoffeeConsumer643]

***** same here too easy

[@Dutchified]

Great vid. I'm visiting Finland later this year. Can't wait.

[@DjLuFin]

Did you like Finland? :D

[@Dutchified]

DJ LuFin I loved Helsinki. I'm editing my travel video as we speak, so reliving it. It should be up by the end of the week.

[@sammalsikuri3828]

Did you visit lapland?

[@DjLuFin]

AnimeMangaFairytailMusic Lover He only visited Helsinki, but I recommend Dutchified to visit Lapland too :)

[@Dutchified]

AnimeMangaFairytailMusic Lover DJ LuFin I only visited Helsinki. I fell in love with Finland. I'll certainly be back, Lapland will be on my bucket list for sure.

[@viiprep]

It's such a small world! I was randomly watching your videos and then suddenly I see Teemu, who I used to go to same high school with. And he's not even from Lapland so it was even more unexpected! Nice to see that people seem to like him (and his accent ;)) in the comments. :) I like your videos a lot, you have such a gentle and respecting way of discovering the country you're in. :)

[@DamonAndJo]

Awww. Love their accents!

[@Evanandrachel]

Wow, the Finnish language sounds so difficult to pronounce! But your guide's English accent was so cute. Loving these Finland vids, I feel like a new place is calling me to come visit now! :o

[@raunorepomies8621]

+Evan and Rachel in Korea Welcome, man :-) People here speaks English pretty well so you will not have any problem at all to ask if you need something.

[@veetivirtanen3515]

If you somehow end up in Finland when it's winter, you should really visit Kemi. Every year they build a big castle full out of snow and ice, and it's really cool!

[@ashtonhall3167]

I've heard of using your shadow like a clock to figure out the time but I wouldn't have thought to use the knife. Very cool.

[@raunorepomies8621]

With that trick you can spot the sun, but you need to use other trick to figure out the time :)

[@miikaelas]

got here via the vlog you did in Kemi, where I live. now I am watching these older Finland vlogs from you guys and it is so interesting to see this country through your eyes :) I only already get anxiety for next summer regarding all the mosquitos :S

[@MrMongo321]

That owl's head bobble was super cute!

[@zensema]

I live in Finland but I never been in lapland.. But these videos makes me really want to go there! Thank you guys for these videos! You are awesome! Kiitos! :D

[@edheldude]

In the beginning the guide Teemu said: "Sallan Poropuistosta päivää." which means "Hello from the Salla Reindeer Park."

[@StudioErza929]

Your guide is awesome, but he's missing two fingers!! Aww :(

[@TheSarat14]

I'm a Finn from this town named Lohja and i don't know when u guys are leaving but i hope u guys had fun time here. Oh and school in schools are free and school is free xD :) oh Finns like to see tourist in there country so thank you. Hyvää päivän jatkoa teille!

[@Are1i]

That's funny, I spent a night on that "bed" at 04:23 two years ago :D. You should've hiked the whole karhunkierros while you were there, it was just awesome.

[@rrepomies3827]

Did a trip in Oulanka National Park by hiking that cabin was a life saver the next one would have been after 4km (not that bad but it was 2 am and i was very tired). You guys were week ahead of me though.

[@aksuhei]

Just found your videos/channel and I love how you guys make vlogs! I love travelling but Im just a student so I cant afford flying and hotels right now.. BUT now that I see how wonderful my own country is (Im finnish obviously:)) and I have still yet never been to lapland! I need to experience that :)

[@hopscotchtheglobe]

Akuliina Mäntylä Hi Akuilina! You can definitely find ways to travel while in school. What helped me travel while in school was I studied for one semester abroad while in high school. I fundraiser money for a year so I could do it. In college, I applied for scholarships that allowed me to travel in the summertimes. There are definitely ways!

[@TheFishtownies]

im loving these vlogs!

[@twistedmixedchick13]

your videos are awesome! that owl was so cute :D would you say Finland is a pretty safe place?

[@Aurinkohirvi]

Yeah, all the Nordic countries are very safe. Nothing much else to fear except blood sucking insects in summer and cold in the winter in Finland.

[@dersu46]

My home is in northern Finland. Village of kuusamo. salla is a neighbor of the municipality

[@BristolInMyPocket]

Loving the daily vlogging! :)

[@mapaula2209]

It truly makes the most beautiful music...silence

[@Ervamies]

I am from Finland and i love your'e Finland episodes :D

[@christina2197]

That finnish accent tho! :D

[@MrMongo321]

Finland seems like an uber-friendly country. Btw, the mosquitos don't seem to both ur guide?

[@sammalsikuri3828]

The same is with my older family members. You eventually just get used to it and dont care about them anymore

[@jooseppi4728]

ur actually really good at pronouncing Finnish for the first timers :D

[@peralez2383]

Another great video

[@dharmin85]

Hi, it appears to be that you did canoeing and hiking together...having not much information that I could find, I am just wondering if this combination does exist then was there any advance booking you had to make>?? I am flying in September and visiting this park for sure..

[@ADragonAmongRoses]

You guys have really made go videos for promoting Finland, that's for sure!

[@anssiuusitalo315]

You´re great Kirsten! Greetings from Finland!

[@anttivirta6363]

0:22 Sallan poropuistosta päivää!

[@TheElderize]

You guys should visit Kilpisjärvi someday if you are coming here again! :)

[@larrybothe8246]

Is there any significance to the guide's decorative belt? Finnish tradition? Reminded me of belts/sashes worn by Canadian/Metis men in Manitoba.

[@kognak6640]

Originally this type of belt is part of traditional sami men clothing. But it's not really unusual to see finns from Lapland wearing it. Works bit like a utility belt, easy to carry both knives(small and big one) and wooden drinking cup made of birch burl. If you watch closely, the guide have these items hanging.

[@loaderror99]

R u gonna go to india any time soon again?

[@PocketsForBugs]

So chill

[@jawidrahimi4455]

I live in Finland. Finland is beautiful country, suggest you visit Finland. You would like it, for sure.

[@arttujarvinen7335]

i live in finland and been in lapland about 5 times, didnt know anything about these things :D

[@candyphone992]

I just LOVE your Channel!❤️

[@gokulauri]

I love Canoeing. I should start doing it again.

[@jeremywershoven8209]

Another place I need to go...I wish I could teleport via canoe...

[@nooraseiteri2513]

[@pekkapoo1205]

+Kristen Sarah it's really cold in finland right now

[@sau_lii]

+Kristen Sarah im from Finland

[@WeirdViking]

Sallan poropuistosta päivää. No problem! Might help that I'm actually finnish.

[@rdidri]

I think I'm too much of a hardened city girl I got a little concerned when the guide pulled out a knife. Perhaps he has shown the shadow demo too many times since he was missing two fingers! Beautiful country.

[@Aurinkohirvi]

Hah! Doubt he lost fingers with a knife. Probably with an axe or chainsaw or something like that. Puukko (knife) is very Finnish thing. Boys often get one as a birthday present too in some phase. The other Nordic people have this meme of Finns and knives, as they don't share the same tradition. It's actually a tradition from the Iron Age already: you had a knife and a longer heavy knife which was sort of a short sword, "väkipuukko" (could be almost as long as your arm, "lapinleuku" is a bit smaller version of väkipuukko). With a väkipuukko you could easily lose fingers too. Hand made knives are appreciated quality gift items. In Russia they call knives as "Finnish knives" ("finski nož" or "finka"): it's a model copied from Finland. In the Estonian War of Independence Finnish voluntary troops were feared among the Russians because of knives. That's pretty strange during the age of guns, but it's still dangerous in close combat. fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%A4kipuukko www.iisakkijarvenpaa.fi/fi/puukot.html?___store=fi_fi varuste.net/Lahjapuukot?_tr=3085 www.knifedreams.com/epages/knifedreams.sf/fi_FI/?ObjectPath=/Shops/2016112907/Categories/puukot/Kaiverruspuukot

[@micosan]

anyone else noticed that the guide was missing 2 fingers? :D

[@edheldude]

That was his joke. "I made them with my own little pretty hands."

[@drmodestoesq]

This a good reason to buy a used crappy old fibreglass canoe. You can drag it over the rocks and not care. Own your things.....don't let your things own you.

[@gokulauri]

RALLIENGLANTI IS BÄK!
