A day well spent snowmobiling in Lapland's wildern

A day well spent snowmobiling in Lapland's wilderness and enjoying lunch by an open fire 🔥

You've all heard of Emily in Paris but how about Emily in Lapland? ❄️

✨️ New section on the blog ✨️

After 3 years living in Lapland, it was about time to create a dedicated section on the blog for the winter wonderland I'm so lucky to call "home"!
You've asked me 'what destination do you recommend?', 'what time of year is it best to visit?', 'how to be prepared for the cold weather?' or 'what can we do in Rovaniemi?'...
Well now it's all on the blog adventurebyemily.com/lapland ! And there is still more to come 💬

And I'll of course keep sharing glimpses of life in Lapland on Instagram, so follow along for your daily dose of nordic content 📸

Let me know in the comments what blog article you would like to see on my website to help you plan your holiday in Lapland 🇫🇮

Nestled in the heart of a vast 5,000-acre reserve, @antafricasafaris offered us an unforgettable adventure. Here, horses roam freely among the wildlife, creating breathtaking close encounters with the animals in their natural habitat. The warmth and hospitality of the incredible team made us feel like part of a family, adding to the magic of the experience. On each ride, the big-hearted horses revealed a whole new world before our eyes, while the knowledgeable guides taught us so much about the land and its wildlife. It wasn’t just a stay; it was a journey into the soul of South Africa 🇿🇦

Thank you @farandride for recommending us the perfect horseback holiday 🤎
Thank you @antafricasafaris and team for planning a wonderful adventure and making us feel at home 🧡
Thank you @isabella_sophy for being the best horse riding adventure partner 🤍
