My shock in Ranua IMPORTANT: For turists who are interested in some tips when coming to Finland... DO NOT PLAN TO STAY IN RANUA FOR LONG TIME Ranua is a little town in the south of Rovaniemi, we spent there one night at the local guesthouse. I can honestly say that there is nothing in that place. Apart from the nice Zoo (where we went the day after our arrival) there is nothing going on in the town. I am very sorry to say that, walking down the street in the city Centre at 8pm it felt like walking in a ghost’s town at midnight. I was so schoked. For who comes from a big city like me it is hard to imagine how people can live in such a place for a long time. I know that Finnish people love to have their space, their silence and peace but it was almost terrifing how desert this place was. The few people that we met looked very reserved and distant.

Naturalistic experiences in Italy and Lapland One of my favourite activities here in Finland is going for hikes. The landscape are very different from the ones I am used to in Italy. Especially now that the snowing season has began, everything is White and looks Amazing. The good thing about national parks here is that they are for free. In italy you have to pay an entry ticket for most of them. Even though you have to pay to get in , the facilities are not Always the best. Another difference between national parks in the South of Italy and Finland is the kind of animals you can meet walking on the path. In Italy is common to see different kinds of birds in the Woods, in Finland reindeers and mouse are everywhere. The park we visited in Southern Lapland is excellent for families with children and for those who wish to go on an active Holiday, there, it is possible to do sooo many activities! From skiing to canoying, trekking, biking..... It is also good to know ...
Lapland Adventure I just got back from one of the best trip I have ever done. Four friends of mine that I met during the Erasmus in Turku and I went for an adventure to Lapland for 6 days. We rented a car in Turku and drove all the way up till Levi and back. The time we had, the adventures and the landscapes we meet will always stay in my mind and in my heart. I am glad I can now share my experiences, stories and pictures with you. I will tell you about our trip going from place to place,changing town and location almost everyday. It was very interesting to see how people and culture can vary from place to place in Finland. I loved the nature, expecially when the white of the snow was covering lakes,trees and houses. Such a magic atmosphere everywhere. While we were driving I was taking notes and pictures that I will share with you. I will also give some info and details about accomodations in order to help you in case you are planning a trip there. So...
