    Hi, we are Stephen, Jess and little Hunter, a traveling family who spent 2020 self-converting a van before moving in full-time to drive around our home country of Australia. We have now completed our lap, said our goodbyes, and resumed full-time travel before we wait for our second baby to arrive.

    The 1 problem tourists have is that they just think Helsinki is the south and that lapland is the winter place but the thing is that most of the country is covered with as much snow as Lapland, for example i live in Central-Finland and we have as much snow as Lapland.
