  • HELLO FRIENDS!! Welcome to our next installment of our nordic/Scandinavian travel trip! After taking a warm bath in the Blue Lagoon in Iceland - I thought - let’s chill out a bit - literally - and head to the original Ice Hotel in Northern Sweden! Yes, this hotel is made completely out of ice and snow, and it melts and gets rebuilt every year - and yes, people actually sleep in here!! I'm very interested by *strange hotels* and after our trip to the Underwater Hotel last year, when I heard of the ICEHOTEL - I figured, we better check it out. So, after a brief moment being stuck in Iceland, we headed to the ICEHOTEL to investigate & spend the night - and hopefully not get cryogenically frozen like Walt Disney's head. What do you guys think?? Would you stay here? Where should we go next?
    Also - to add on to our disclaimer in the video - "Lapland" is not a technically a shared region, it's a general region that spans across a few different countries!

    HELLO FRIENDS!! i hope you enjoyed this trip to the Ice Hotel in Sweden (and also our extended hi-jinks trying to actually **get** to the Ice Hotel)!! Our small stint at the ice bar in vegas couldn’t have prepared us for the bone-chilling-yet-very-beautiful rooms that this hotel had to offer. what do you guys think? pretty **cool**, eh? would you go to a hotel made of ice?? and, where should we go next? ☃also - to add on to our disclaimer in the video - "lapland" is not a technically a shared region, it's a general region that spans across a few different countries! sorry for any confusion there!

    Its pretty common knowledge that the hotel gets re-built every year, but the funny bit to me is that they start building it 30 days before the hotel is set to open. Meaning that when you book your room, the hotel you're booking for doesn't even exist yet.

I've read that a lot of your furnaces run on electricity instead of gas since you don't need to use them as often. The pipes in your walls might not have insulation around them to protect against the cold, so it would be easy for them to burst if you don't keep the water running at a trickle in cold weather. And even if you have warmer clothes and winter coats, you're just not used to those temperatures.

    For what it's worth: as a long-time follower and a Sámi person, I did appreciate the inclusion of the term Sápmi when explaining what Lapland is, even if it was just a text footnote.
    For those who do not know, Lapland, and particularly the term Lapp or Laplander for Sámi people (the indigenous people of northern Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia), is derogatory. Lapland being the land where Lapps come from. We prefer to be called Sámi and the land area Sápmi. But the fact that Lapland is still the name of the region geographically is a political issue, and that is unfortunately the name as far as maps are currently concerned.
    Either way, I do appreciate the attempt at inclusivity. I sincerely hope you guys were able to learn about the Sámi people while in Kiruna and in northern Finland (since I think that video will be about the northern lights?).

    I've been there too and the cool thing is that they build it each year from the bottom up but that also means they have to get new artists to make the rooms.
