Lapland idea

I have always wanted to visit Lapland. See the Northern Lights, meet the reindeers and be a part of the magical northern atmosphere. There is just one problem. Finland is a very expensive country for just traveling around, especially the northen part of it. So it got me thinking of how could i still go and spend as little as possible. I decided to write a couple of emails to reindeer farms and ask them for work in exchange for accommodation. Although, I didn't really feel of going alone. I told the idea to my friend Maili and she was happy to join me. We sent 11 emails and got back 4.There was three N0´s and one YES. The place where we got the positive answer was from Torassieppi (www.torasieppi.fi). It is a small village close to the Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park and town called Muonio. We were so happy. Sometimes dreams really can come true!
