Sápmái

I've been packing today since I'm traveling to Lapland with my parents for one week tomorrow. First we're going to Kuusamo (Guossán) and after couple of days we'll go to Sodankylä (Soađegilli). Then we'll continue to actual Lapland (Lappi / Sápmi) and visit Inari (Ánár), Ivalo (Ávvil) and Utsjoki (Ohcejohka). We'll probably visit Norway's side of Lapland (Norgga Sápmi) where all the bigger Sámi communities are (Kárášjohka, Guovdageaidnu, Johkamohkki). I'll take a lot of pictures and I'll post some of them here. I'm not going to take my lap-top with me so I'm not sure if I'm going to be here before I've come back to Heinola. I hope that I'll get to speak some North Sami (hállat davvisámegiela) with an actual native speaker (sámelaš -> sámelaččat).

  1. Enjoy your trip! The funny this is that I am in Finland now too. :-)
