A European Winter Adventure Part 1: Helsinki and Finnish Lapland

Josh Bogle Episode 8

Join me, Josh Bogle, as I bring you along on a Northern European adventure in the middle of winter. My escapades begin with an exciting train ride on the Santa Claus Express, where the magic of Christmas becomes a tangible experience amidst the perpetual twilight of a Lapland winter. Between cozy cabin comforts and the charm of Santa Claus Village, this journey promises a whimsical glimpse into a world where holiday cheer never ends.

Next, we find ourselves exploring the vibrant streets of Helsinki, a city where modernity meets history. Picture traversing snowy sidewalks in search of the best souvenirs and savoring the local delicacies that define Finnish cuisine. The seamless blend of Helsinki's architectural wonders and local culture create an unforgettable backdrop as I share my experiences navigating this dynamic city.  The essence of Helsinki shines through, setting the stage for my next leg of the journey—a much-anticipated overnight ferry to Stockholm.

The escapade doesn't end in Sweden as we journey to the UK for a quick visit in the heart of London. Imagine the thrill of exploring iconic landmarks, indulging in breakfast at Dishoom, and shopping at London’s finest stores.  The vibrant atmosphere of London ensures there's never a dull moment. Join me as I share insights into this whirlwind travel itinerary, with tales of unexpected adventures, cultural discoveries, and the joy of ticking off bucket-list experiences along the way.
