Spring Winter visit at Mummola Travels

Family Sierra Thomas visited us mid February 2017 for three nights. The sun started to show little bit more after Polar Night! Here are their thoughts about Mummola Travels experience from Scarlett's Instagram feed. Thank you Scarlett for letting us to share these moments! 

I added some pics between and some comments of mine under the pics. 

You really can see the different colour palette influenced by Columbian heritage! Lovely work!

This is one of my favourite pics. In that picture could be me and my sister when we were kids during 70's.

I'm so happy and proud about Scarlett as she baked these ´laskiaispulla´ at home too and served them with pea soup!

It really felt like friends visiting us even though we met for the first time! And that is basically our business idea (if you wonder what is this Mummola Travels really about) to experience Lapland and Finnish culture together with our guests from all over the world as they were already our friends. And not just during winter but all year round!

Amazing end for the day trip to Pallas! I've never seen clouds like that before. 

Samantha's Greetings from Mummola

Samantha visited us during last Summer 2016. Here's something she wrote about her visit.

I had the pleasure of staying at Mummola travels and to experience all the many wonderful things that Mummola and Lapland have to offer. I visited in July so weather was beautiful. We got to go hiking at Fell Särkitunturi the first part of my trip to see the fells. The air was cool and clean and the Fells were amazing.

I really enjoyed staying at Mummola and being part of the family. Getting to experience the everyday life of living on a farm in Lapland was  great opportunity. I got o see the dairy cows and pet a baby cow that was only just born before. There was also the yearly festival that takes place on the property and was a lot of fun.

We also did a road trip through Sweden and stayed two nights in Norway. We got to take in some beatiful scenic lakes along the way, and to eat a picnic lunch in the gorgeous surroundings. We stayed in a picturesque little fishing village in Norway and went on few hikes.

Near the end of my trip at Mummola, I got to go picking for cloudberries. This is a truly unique and amazing thing to do in Lapland.

Being from Texas, I had never had cloudberries before visiting Finland. But to be able to hike through the woods to arrive at the cloudberry fields to not only pick our own cloudberries but to eat them as well, was the best part.

The hike was hard at times with our rain boots when the ground became swampy, and we were mosquito hat to keep the mosquitos away, but this is all part of cloudberry picking in Lapland. And after preparing and tasting traditional Finnish bread cheese with the Mummola family, it was well worth the effort!

I have many wonderful memories from my visit at Mummola Travels and plan to visit next January to experience a Finnish Lapland winter. To be continued...
