The artist spoke SO beautifully! I love the way you capture the world and give every moment the respect and time it needs. lots of love all the way from Kuwait!

[@Evanandrachel]

Loved the sound of the coin dropping in the water! :)

[@larrybothe8246]

I'm torn between wanting to canoe and water-ski on that mirror finish lake. In my mind the canoe won..!! Many scenes in Finland that you've shared bring back fond memories of Algonquin Park. Will be sad when your journey in Finland ends...

[@veli-pekkakultanen2353]

You are allowed to pick berries. Not to harm trees, but you can pick berries and mushrooms etc.

[@animals-videos2024]

good post

[@KossolaxtheForesworn]

not allowed to harm nature in national parks...except if you are mining company, then you can destroy and pollute as much as you want because laws are fucked up. I hate it.

[@moominpappa3982]

In Finland t is called puukko, not a knife...

[@juhanaliesjarvi9139]

miä kannan puukkoo kaikkialle sen kerran jälkeen ku piti kivellä puita halakoo oli muuten helevetin eksoottinen kokemus

[@GemSvartsjo]

Hi there gem here your new supporter.. Hope you can also visit mine and support me back. Thanks yah!

[@j.nybergh7003]

Every person doesn't have a knife "for survival". Look, most people live in cities down south and don't carry knives with them :)

[@samaellikesgreen2021]

now that My great great grandma died i have few other reasons to drive the whole Day to lapland. nature: i would Day that its better than south Finland. witchy things: witch tools are in some stores zoo: I WANNA SEE THE POLAR BEAR BABY!!!!!

[@MrVenne73]

Even from national park you can pick up berries and mushrooms, but you can't cut any wood.

[@veli-pekkakultanen2353]

You are allowed to pick berries. Everywhere in Finland. You are allowed to walk. Everywhere. But You are not allowed to cut wood, or make fire without the permit from land owner. And you can get it. British people can not understand.

[@anaconda6147]

Love these videos!

[@annehaapala1004]

its always about the Lapland! You should come to Western Finland, to the coast :)

[@Jatezzzi]

:)

[@pelontorjunta]

The fact that are is bigger than Holland but having in largely just about 30 000 people living (excluding Rovaniemi, Tornio, Kemi and some other small places) gives some perspective. Going far distance gives you idea what would be living in the world with no other people.

[@rautavaari3681]

Pyhä=saint if ur wondering.

[@MrPhilolsen]

was that video on Summer?

[@markogronfors3826]

+Phillip Olsen Probably cos in winter there in Lappland is 35 -40 c below zero heat andameter deep snow

[@MattiAntsuK]

Well if the video was posted in july, what do you think.

[@thesaraks]

wow your videos made me realize the beauty of our nature! loved these vlogs and can't wait to see more from you two :)

[@ahma_]

I've heard that you guys are coming back in Finland, is that true? If it is so, is there going to be videos? I would love that! I live in Finland myself, but these are fun to watch.

[@hopscotchtheglobe]

We are! In 10 days. We are having a meet up in Helsinki on the 31st! Check out my Twitter or FB page for details and location.

[@dominikiysantorsk8242]

Oh, I loved this place you guys went. I'd like to go to places like that. I saw a video that you went to the brazilian Amazon. I'm from Brazil despite I'm using the UK's flag. Brazil is very beautiful. I'd like to go to Amazon too, and make a round-Brazil tour. I like so much your videos. Bye or Tchau in portuguese.

[@Yes-df3xx]

1:05 wtach your 6 all the time, a bear could suddenly be on you, just so you are warned ;) there are alot of them here.

[@sasharenee1196]

Can you make a few video lessons on Finnish please guys? I would love to learn it, even if I'm most likely never gonna get to go to Finland.

[@sasharenee1196]

you can?

[@sasharenee1196]

[@suomipepe2509]

[@sparklingdragonfairy]

[@jessicagiambrone35]

I think it would be friendly

[@dekuscrub4083]

defenetly friendly

[@Suvis97]

Wow I have skied in the Pyhä national park. So cool to see what it looks like in summertime

[@Sammakko7]

Kuusamon Rukan tunturi kesällä on suositeltavakohde

[@elinaksa]

If you come to Finland in winter you should go to the Pyhä to skiing and go to ride snowmobile :)

[@mikkosaarela9436]

Thanks for your videos! It's midnight and I just had to watch all of them even though I should get some sleep. I really recommend visiting Finland at winter, it is even more special that time of the year. As you can see from the number of the views you've got, the people in Finland go crazy when someone is interested in this country. Thanks again for the great videos, keep up the good work!

[@esalaine8198]

FYI... It`s all right to collect berries from national forrest`s. It`s one of the "every man`s rights" in Finland. But chopping wood is not. You got that right. Hope You enjoyed the stay... :)

[@ThoughtsErased]

I love your vlogs in Finland! Im going to live in Helsinki for 6 months, hopefully i get the oppurtunity to go to Lapland as well. Does someone know how good the public transport is over there? Or is it better to do a organized trip? Thanks!

[@ThoughtsErased]

Thanks!

[@gozamite]

I'm just watching all the videos you made of your trip in Finland. Not too many comments in this video so I'm doing one. That pond and the waterfall in Pyha national Park is a very special place for me! (Even I live in southern Finland near Helsinki) -Last time I was there was last week with my crosscountry skiis... And I think it's very cool how you can actually capture almost everything (the smells, the taste, the view, all the feelings and so on...) in your dialogue and shooting a video. Amazing!! I must see the rest of the videos you made all over the world. Thank you for your great work!

[@bwest1869]

Friendly....

[@gr3t3]

I love your Finland travel videos! I've been to Finland many times and visited Lapland in the winter. It was amazing, but I really enjoyed watching your adventures during the warmer months. I guess I'll have to go back soon.

[@ogdeily]

The landscape (0:40) isn't that awesome cause when i look out the window i see a lake , fields and much forest.

[@charlottan8089]

its nice that u like Finland btw im living in finland

[@charlottan8089]

***** I live in Espoo it´s not far away from Helsinki

[@VicariousReality7]

lol southerners

[@Esarix]

What I love here in Lapland, is that the nature is so clean and pure. You can drink water everywhere, eat berries etc. Thats why the only thing I expect from tourists, is that PLEASE dont litter. Respect the nature, and everyone wins. :) And I feel that most of ppl do respect. You rarely see trash on the side of the roads. More south you go, the more trash there is. :P

[@yourtub8705]

+Narza85 probably because there are more people south, or maybe its because only people who like nature go to lapland. Seeing littering fustrates me.

[@jMoezzz]

And people in Lapland are awesome. Almost a different country.

[@Taskuvesku]

Nice videos! I lived my childhood and teen-age there, in Kemijärvi. You give a good impression of my birthplace. Great job!

[@JuhaVnt]

Oh..I just love your videos! These videos tell the reason what made me return back to my home country. I just love the fact, that it´s a big(-ish) country with a small population…and then there is the wonderful nature. One question: What were the reasons that you decided to come to Finland? Keep up the great work. Wish i had a work like that. To be way too exhausted and sleep less then 8h a night. Wait…no! :D All the respect guys!

[@GOAT-rl2uq]

I hate to be that guy, but the Sami are not THE aboriginal people of Finland, merely one of them. They could be seen as being the aboriginal people of Lapland, but there is of course a lot of Finland that is not Lapland. This is a great series though, good work you two!

[@Jop3lius]

Actually they have been living in Finland longer than the people that moved to Finland from mid europe, Samis have been there in lapland even before Hämäläiset that have roots from all the way to Spain. The "traditional" Finnish look, high cheeks and small eyes come from Samis, as they are partly eskimos.

[@GOAT-rl2uq]

***** Thats odd, they didn't teach us anything of the sort.

[@Jop3lius]

GOAT thats cus you weren't listening careful enough.

[@larrywave]

***** ööh ei ei ei miusta tuntuu ettet ole kuunnellut äirinkiälen tunneilla yhtään

[@GOAT-rl2uq]

***** This is odd though, I can't find any mention of the Sami being the original inhabitants of any other place than Lapland. Regardless of whether or not they were the originals south of Lapland, the current crop of people who live there have been there since prehistoric times.

[@pwleppa]

Welcome to Finland again ***** . Nice video. Thanks. And moikka again.

[@emilblom91]

pyhä means holy

[@BellaDiary]

I love this Kristen- you seem like the perfect person to travel with!! xx

[@BellaDiary]

AHHHH I might just take you up on that offer!! I'm just back from travelling Japan- it was honestly one of the most peaceful and beautiful places ive ever been to!! I even vlogged a little! Where are you off to next? Cant wait for your next vid!!

[@pataruutu2458]

Every single Finn doesn't have knife or that kind of cup, only the Northern people. Very good video though and thanks for coming to Finland! I hope you have enjoyed! You have a brilliant channel.

[@JuhaVnt]

YEah, you would most probably get arrested if you carried a knife in Helsinki metro for instance! :D

[@BeetleJuiceFromHell]

That got me too. I bet most of southern teens don't even know the word kuksa. Still good videos and I'm glad you guys like my home country :)

[@moonchant]

Juha Juntto Here is one "stadilainen youngster", southern "teen", 22yrs. I can agree your comment, but I do have a kuksa and my own leuku. So many trips behind and coming up in wild nature of Finland. Ei saa yleistää tulee muuten paha mieli :)

[@BeetleJuiceFromHell]

I said most of ;) And I said teens..

[@VideoDotGoogleDotCom]

You're wrong, SpadeDiamond. Here in Finland, everyone _does_ have a personal knife, or as it's called in Finnish, a puukko. I suppose you have to do a bit more reading.

[@MisterFiable]

I have several knives but nobody hasn't give them to me :-0

[@Speduiini]

I really like how you're showing the real Finland. As a person who's grown up in the southern Finland and spent many summers in Lapland, I approve. Have fun!

[@rdidri]

You can see the reflection of the clouds on that lake. Beautiful! Breathtaking.

[@emf1111]

not

[@arifaplus8617]

beautiful natural country Finland . you guys rocks

[@LorenLand21]

The monster is nice :) i'm in love with your daily vlogs!

[@thatsarahg]

The pines on pines on pines to the beautiful fog covered drive to the amazing still water reflection the Finnish must have 0 stress.

[@MrFinnboy69]

thatsarahg I live in southern Finland and now after watching this i really want to move to lapland.. Here in the south, it`s just traffic and work and pollution....

[@softgogamer]

highest suicide rate in europe...

[@CoolerFin]

softgogamer Bullshit! There is 12 European countries which have higher suicide rate. Finns has the 20th highest on Earth and rate is going down every year. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_rate

[@ncoppedisano]

Nice , reminds me of avatar for some reason

[@EnisudR]

I think that was Popeye's Dad, in the pink hat, photobombing you at 5:00.

[@MW-go9rh]

Blue monster is not nice he's skery.
