Can we see Northern light aurora with bare eyes, or only seen on camera...?

[@soavemusica]

Yes, but "OMG" is not a "thank God", sadly.

[@linsampson6340]

This guy is really good, and i just love looking at luxury that i would never be able to afford.

Wow, thank you!

[@reddwarfer999]

The 'jewels in the headboard' actually represent the Constellation of Ursa Major (The Plough or Big Dipper). The end two stars point towards Polaris, The Pole Star.

[@davidsworld5837]

yep i noticed but i do not think Tim thought about it. wonder if each room had the same or if there was differences.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

I noticed after I edited 😂

[@andyrob35]

Yes, also noticed. Showing you North (North Star)

[@luke8329]

It's also the origin of the swastika symbol.

[@finnishculturalchannel]

Bear has a place in Finnish mythology and it's Finland's national animal. There's an idiom that Finns live under the North Star. One of the most significant Finnish literature works is Väinö Linna's book trilogy 'Under the North Star', which covers Finland's history from 1880 to 1950s through the lives of family Koskela. The Big Dipper is also in publishing company Otava's logo, so it's familiar sign in Finland. Bear's a sacret animal in other cultures too: "The Great Cosmic Hunt, the Oldest Story Known to Mankind".

[@turpasauna]

Asking everyone who graces us with their visit: please remember that the whole Rovaniemi region is populated by common people just like you and me. So all the domestic animals you see belong to someone (and unless told so, are not a general attraction). The houses are homes of regular folks (both Finns and Saami). Finns respect the privacy of others so please do not go touring on the yards or such without permission! The animals, also reindeers, will get sick if you feed them. Layman's right do not extend to private properties and since it is uncommon to build big fences here, please be respectful and mindful of the fact that you might be trespassing without even realizing it. Thank you in advance and welcome to Finland. 😊

[@norfolkreefer5801]

So many rules

[@turpasauna]

@@norfolkreefer5801 Sadly this is due to the fact that many tourists have acted badly and the people of Lapland are tired of it. There was a big article about the issue some days ago, locals were sharing their stress concerning the matter. Some visitors act like the whole place is a sort of safari, while it certainly is not.

[@Darknie666]

@@turpasauna For me it was a pleasure visiting Rovaniemi. My dream was to visit Finland since I was 13, I knew basic Suomi, and the rules are just common sence. Suomi people are the nicest, they are respectfull, they dont bother you but always helpfull. Rovaniemi is, in my eyes, the most beautifull place in Earth. I was going to move to Finland (I'm from Spain), I remember everybody thinking I was a Fin, and saying sorry, I dont speak suomi. They all smile to me and start speaking in perfect english. I ended falling in love with Icelandic people, so now I live in Reykjavik. But I still love Finland, the culture, the nature, the sauna, the lakes, and specially the music, the reindeer is just delicius... Kitos for being so awesome.

[@Lkb5555]

Always always always use a beanie when hot tubbing in the -10°C or colder temperatures! You freeze your head, lose consciousness and eventually drown. Happens more often than one would think.

We stayed here 8-9th December 2023 in cabin/igloo 714, absolutely loved it and they also gave us a bottle of champagne for my 60th which was a nice touch. We had driven from Levi and drove back to Levi the next day. Amazing trip, beautiful location.

[@annalevermore7857]

I went to the arctic circle with my mum. We saw the northern lights every night. beautiful

[@MargaretUK]

That cost more than I expected but still very nice anyway. That bowl for the apple dessert was amazing, such a huge bowl for such a tiny pud! 😆

I know it would have gone in one mouthful

[@mutley23able]

Think after that I would have been straight round to Maccy d's still hungry 🤣@@WalkWithMeTim

[@walterfillingham]

I’m so lucky I can see the Northern Lights from my back garden in Inverness on a regular basis and I never get bored of seeing it. The glass house looks really good actually, though a bit on the tiny side, actually same size as a regular cabin offshore on most North Sea oil platforms but much more stylish! Lol I’m also lucky I can go skiing half an hour drive from Inverness at Cairngorm Mountain resort in Aviemore

[@WalkWithMeTim]

wow that's amazing

[@m.t.v.7934]

Before I leave this Earth, I would love to see The Northern Lights before I die. This must of been so cool to be in this place. I hope to visit somewhere like this at some point in my life. Just not in a position right now to do so. For now, I can enjoy watching your videos and all the places you go!

I’ve just discovered your channel today, Tim. I’m loving your content and your genuine, easy-going personality. You were born to do this! It makes me sad to read about the negative interaction you had with Cecilia from Svalbard (I’ve been following her for years). Sorry that happened to you. Anyway, keep doing what you’re doing and bringing these magnificent adventures to us here at home. Sending you love and warm wishes from Australia 🇦🇺♥️

[@mxmus08]

Just stumbled on your channel and one thing that is abundantly clear is that life is about genuine experiences. Thank you for reinforcing that in a day and age of instant gratification & likes. New sub!

Tim: *stays in one of the most amazing places a person could stay* Tim: The heater is too loud and there's no milk.

[@juanitarichards1074]

i couldn't do without milk for my tea and coffee and for the expense, the heating should just purr.

[@Lilithly]

Tbf he paid a lot for it

[@misdre0111]

It was surprising to see that the non-igloo half of the "hotel" is just a very normal modern Finnish house! It looks like someone's home but then there's an igloo room when you go inside. As a Finn I kind of expected this very expensive hotel village in Rovaniemi to look a little more special 🤣Oh well, as long as it's a good experience for visitors, that's all that matters!

[@houseclearance7509]

Here here, I expected something magical and special. Not copy paste repeat. Surely an igloo is made from ice, not another word for a conservatory!

[@007oskari]

There are awesome iglu villages in finland, maybe not in rovaniemi but i think ylläs, levi etc (big skii mountains) have like actually beatifull iglu villages and even non iglu villages 10x nicer than this for similar price

[@comancheviperrrr]

First off let me say that transition from the hot tub to going to dinner was well done. Absolutely awesome. Secondly, I’m watching the video and I’m seeing like the carousel and the snowmobiles and the lighting and it’s at night. It really struck me like something out of a novel. Maybe a fantasy novel of some sort. But it really seems so surreal. You do get to go to some of the most unique and interestingP. And I as a viewer would like to say thank you for taking us along with you. I know this is your job and how you make money. But that’s OK. It’s still awesome to be able to go along with you on these adventures. Sorry about your wife not getting to go. That guy was quite a jerk. He could’ve handled that in a much more cordial and respectful business like manner. I do believe she would’ve really loved that place. But you get her passport issue taken care of and take her there. Like I said, I think you were right. She would really enjoy that. Again, thank you for sharing and posting the video. God bless.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

OMG....I want an Igloo in my garden ! How fab ! What a great stream Tim🎉 ty for sharing ❄☃️

Glad you enjoyed it

[@megangreene3955]

Sorry that Gabby and Casper couldn't come with you like you wanted 😔. It looks really beautiful. I keep hoping to see the Northern lights myself in northern Minnesota, but so far no such luck. It's not for lack of trying, though. Minnesota normally looks like a winter wonderland this time of year, but it looks like we are heading to a drought. What snow we got last Saturday melted off entirely and it doesn't look like we are getting any more snow any time soon. The weather here is quite weird this year. Blessings!

[@casquecest]

I stayed in one of the glass igloos at the Arctic SnowHotel in Rovaniemi in November of 2022, and it was absolutely amazing. I loved it there.

[@tallulahrubymonroe4280]

It's a good job you go these places Tim , because i dont think the average family of 4 could afford this , how the other half live eh , looks beautiful , any child or adult who is able to visit here is beyond blessed , Thank you Tim , love your videos x

The sparkles on bed headboard is the big dipper!!!

[@mrsfloofage1349]

Yep - Tim had no idea! 💫

[@Shazzadut1]

Apparently these igloos are built in a way so you can’t see into each others glass bedrooms. Well thought out. Fascinating video as usual. Hi from Australia. 🇦🇺👋🏻

[@Notfiveo0]

Usually the noise from the AC/heater mini split unit is due to not periodically cleaning the mold and dust from the squirrel fan that is inside, it throws the fan off balance. It is a very common issue.

[@utahdan231]

You have drapes.

[@jattikuukunen]

They should have one premium igloo that has a view to both the sky and all the other igloos. For the ultimate peekers.

[@clivebuckland6902]

Thank You for sharing Tim It’s such a shame you could not have Gaby and Casper with you. I love the snow, there is something magical about it and your glass igloo looked cosy capturing the environment outside. The main shopping area looks very Christmassy with the trees and natural snow. Hot tub was amazing outside in the snow. It’s not cheap but as you say it is Lapland. Your filming was really good as usual Tim Well Done

[@leighlyle2304]

About 49 or so years ago, I lived in the Hartz mountains of Germany (absolutely gorgeous part of a beautiful country). I had a GSD at the time and we walked£ for miles through the mountain and just outside of Braunlage, we encountered a couple of ski jumps (this was in Spring/ summer). Dear gods! They were so high, I felt faint just scrambling to the top of the lower one of the two. Eddie, hats off to you for daring to even try!

[@MC-emmcee]

I really, really have a big problem with small portioned meals, especially when they cost as much as they do. It is so unecessary and a bit of a con. I think I'd probably have to pack plenty of snacks, pastries and biscuits, if I knew I was visiting somewhere like that. It looks like a lovely place, though, but a tad too expensive (and too cold) for me😊.

[@chandlerbingbong]

Excellent vid. I thought about going myself... until you announced the price. 😮

[@anotherblonde]

Nice touch The Plough picked out in jewels on the headboard

[@Liz-in8lu]

Liked the concept, seems like I’d want more windows or better view…

[@BrianS5588]

Trying to work out whether the Northern Lights or the Rocky Road hot chocolate would be my highlight! Those reverse cycle air conditioning units/heat pumps tend to rattle, the one I have at home does and what I have discovered is that the mounting can be a bit loose and it makes the internal mechanism rattle a bit. If you hold it and it stops then that seems to be the problem. Jamming a piece of paper or a bit of rubber between the bottom of the unit and the wall can quieten it. May not always work but worth carrying a bit of rubber or paper to try it.

[@aswedeingermany753]

Espresso House is a swedish café chain. Just like starbucks, just better

[@LifeofMorag]

Loved this video Tim. The igloos looked magic. Brought back very happy memories of two previous family holidays in Levi, Finland. Would love to go back (and stay in an igloo!)

[@sket179]

The coldest night I stayed outside was 100km north from Rovaniemi. It was my military service, and we were out camping in a tent in December some years ago. It was -44°C. Had guard duty outside for an hour early in the morning, maybe 4am. Almost fell asleep because it was so serene. I was warm except for the tip of my nose. Good times. :)

[@sweetmotogal6]

When I lived in Calgary, Alberta, Canada during my teenage years, I happened to see northen lights just lying in my parents' bed one night. That was very amazing.

Breakfast being the most important meal of the day is pretty much a myth, so much so that I often skip it. You can thank Kellogg's and their marketing dept for that idea. Great video as usual, thanks for taking us with you.

Tim excellent video as always, surprised you mentioned that airline after what happened, I wouldn't recommend them anymore. As for your dislike of cauliflour, I agree it's gross, here's a tip I was taught, marinate it over night in a curry paste/sauce, followed by roasting it. (was taught this by a Michelin chef) enjoy 👍

[@mikrokupu]

A Finnish guy here, the cold in Lapland (Inland Finland) is a bit different than in the UK, the air up here is much drier, it doesn't feel as bad as it sounds. And the houses are always warm, well insulated. For me the damp cold winter in the UK was a bit shocking at first 😁
