What the creator captured
Jonigram fulfilled a lifelong bucket list dream by visiting Rovaniemi during the Christmas season and finally getting a photo with Santa Claus in his official hometown. Although the Northern Lights didn't appear and the reindeer ride was shorter than expected, the group enjoyed the magical winter atmosphere and local Finnish delicacies. The creator particularly recommended the salmon soup in Helsinki and the sausages cooked over a campfire during their tour.
