Things I Enjoyed Wandering the World and You Should To!
22
items I love traveling. I love… escaping the world… somewhat… heh. But that gives me the expertise if you well to recommend things that I actually enjoyed and we don't have to talk about the experience where I felt like I waste money. Let me help you.
You'll find places like Finland, Japan (fell in love with the place and have gone so many times), Morocco, Vietnam, etc.
I'm actually moving my Japan list separately because it just went out of control haha

Things I actually enjoyed doing and I hope you do too. I do recommend regularly visiting saunas as well, which is widely available, but I do no recommend a smoke sauna. My eyes were burning and I couldn't breathe which made the place not able to get ...
Great for families. Finalnd is a place where you can really enjoy the holiday wonders but also all the snow sports of course.
Husky, Reindeer Farm and Santa Village Experience
An igloo visit (or stay) is a must when you go to Finland and a nice dinner is one way to do it.
Northern Lights dinner in a Glass Igloo
Honestly an amazing experience! Almost as exciting as ice dipping…
Daytime Arctic Ice-Floating from Rovaniemi, Small-Group, We have cookies
This is more sightseeing. The trip is nice and some may see the “waterfalls” are anticlimatic but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Your guide makes a big difference but just be annoying and conversate like me and you should enjoy your time :). Maybe pack som...
Korouoma Canyon Frozen Waterfalls
I honestly prefer this experience more than the aforementioned one with the Santa village because… I am a single adult that doesn't have any kids so I could have skipped the village and just enjoy this trail. Reindeer is calm and chill (and can get c...
Lapland Reindeer and Husky Safari from Rovaniemi
I am including this as I feel like it's something one should experience in Finland; however, if you are like me and don't enjoy fishing in general or seeing fish flop around because you just can't with dead animals? Don't.
PRIVATE Ice Fishing Snow scooters Lunch in a Glass Igloo
Another option for spending a night under the sky in a glass igloo. If you have a larger group, this is a nice dinner/experience to have after a full day of activities to catch up and share experiences.
PRIVATE Party dinner in a Glass Igloo Under Northern Lights
For the more adventurous/adrenaline people out there. You don't get to go super fast but go-karting is always fun. Doing it in scenic snowland? Amazing.
Arctic Ice Karting
There's a few ice swimming options with sauna experiences and this is just one of them. Good host, no complaints. Again, tread carefully on the smoke sauna.

Finland Hotels
Great Stays in Finland
My favorite resort! They also have the connections to do basically all of the activities I listed here as well. You do have to drag your luggage sled to your igloo after check in, but I enjoyed it. The igloos have an alarm to alert you when the light...

The best hotel I've ever stayed at (in NY). I've tried others but always go back here. Can get pricey but for the service, accomodation, and location? Hand down best ever.
Hard Rock Hotel New York - Theater District
Not necessarily in New York, but it's a bus ride away (take the Woodbury bus instead of the one from Penn Station, it's only $42 round trip and the bus doesn't break down as often) and has the only Dior outlet in the US. Selections are hit or miss ob...
Woodbury Common Premium Outlets · 498 Red Apple Ct, Central Valley, NY 10917
A hop skip and a short walk from the Hard Rock Hotel, the best bagels are here. Recommend to order online and pick up so you don't have to wait in line.
Best Bagel & Coffee · 225 W 35th St A, New York, NY 10001
So it's technically an event space, but sign up for their emails. They run great sample sales. I scored some of the best deals on Manolos not too long ago here.
Soiffer Haskin · 317 W 33rd St, New York, NY 10001
Reservation recommended. The food is decent but the entertainment and options are great. Definitely worth a visit if you'll be in the Flushing area.
Haidilao Huoguo Flushing · 138-23 39th Ave, Flushing, NY 11354
This place and their desserts are so adorable! That's all I have here. Worth a stop. They open until pretty late (not late late night) so easy to swing by if you're in the area.

Morocco
An experience I still dream about! I love going out in the desert. The camels all have their personalities but it was a pleasant ride. Dinner, food was okay, but you're in the desert, sleeping in yurts, listening to music and dancing around a camp fi...
