Cosy, snug and unforgettable, spending the night in an igloo is a must for your Lapland holiday. Kakslauttanen is one of the world’s best places for watching the northern lights.

The owner wants it the fucked up way, everything was dirty when I arrived and I think 60% of the stuff who worked there with me in the early season (end of October) left because it sucked to work there or they got fired because they lost their motivation really fast. I have been to a lot of once in a lifetime luxurious and expensive experiences in my life (some of them sponsored, most of them paid for with my own dime) such as a VIP Halong Bay Tour and a Hot Air Balloon ride in Cappadocia and they are all smart enough to understand that a product is nothing without a good customer service to back it up.

For the truly comfort obsessed, kelo … Is there any way I can contact them to ask for this payment.
