Isn’t it funny that there are these cool (literally) places,northern lights and husky rides that are soooo heavily marketed to tourists in both our countries, but actually they can be just as much of a tourist attraction to us ”locals” 😄

Yea it's really cool ! We always think the grass is always greener on the other side, it's the kind of thinking that makes you miss a lot of things that are actually near by and that are more accessible. This trip made me realize that. When I checked into the hotel in Abisko where I watched the northern lights the guy in the reception said; “ wow another Swedish couple”. I said what do you mean ? He said this year it was a record, 6 percent of the guest staying there were Swedish haha 😂
I’m actually glad we got this pandemic because at least in Finland, it made more people realise that our country is pretty darn awesome and there is so much beautiful nature and other places to visit right inside our borders.
I’m a bit jelly about the northern lights, it must be at least four years since I last saw any.
Haha a bit jelly lol 😂. I think it is really true what you say. During the pandemic it’s been a record of staycations. It is also a lot more sustainable if we have vacations close by our home and we also learn to appreciate and respect our own countries more.
Not to mention how healthy it is for our economy when the money stays in the homeland more.
