If you have never travelled to Lapland, it is hard to imagine what it feels like to step into the Arctic Circle. Our minds visualise how it will be, but once you get there, it is even more special than you could have imagined. Lapland is a world way beyond our everyday lives and one where we encounter a pristine environment, priceless nature and of course, the amazing Northern lights.

That first morning you wake and look outside at a snow-covered landscape you are so eager to get going and to experience what this incredible place has to offer. There is excitement and expectancy that this is the place where magical things do happen. The snow glistens so brightly even in the behalf light, your breath turns silver-white in the cold air; there is a warm tingle on your face as you walk. You smile and are so happy inside as you cannot quite believe you have finally made it to this enchanting world.

As you make your way to breakfast, you hear the sound of the crunch of the snow under your feet. The horizon has a soft pinkish glow as the sun slowly rises. You pause and listen; there is pure silence all around. Your heart beats a little faster as you think of meeting the reindeer, the huskies and hearing the fantastic stories of the Sami people. You long to see the northern lights, for it has always been a dream, and now that you are here in Lapland, that dream is a little closer. Maybe tonight will be the night that those dreams finally come true.
