@Qualityhunters Exterior cam on @Finnair The pilot's view of the landing (here in Helsinki) is #WILD! #FriFotos

Loved the exterior cam on @Finnair planes. Sure raises the thrill factor a few notches for landings/takeoffs!

This is where I slept last night at the Lainio Snow Village. An Arctic sleeping bag kept me warm. :) #VEinLapland

The most unique sauna experience I've ever had - the Sauna Gondola (in a cablecar!) in Ylläs #VEinLapland

A traffic jam in Lapland :) #VEinLapland

It's a glorious day out on the slopes of Ylläs, Finnish Lapland. Up next: the husky sled! :-) #VEinLapland

This is an awesome Lapland experience: ice-floating! The 'Teletubby' suit keeps u warm & afloat. #VEinLapland

It's snowing in Ylläs. Here's the view from my balcony of the pistes and the fells. #VEinLapland

Grand welcome in Finnish Lapland: the northern lights came out 2 dance! Seen here above Ylläs. #VEinLapland

Love the Arab village style of the Mövenpick Dead Sea Resort & the infinity pool has a FAB view! #VEinJordan

Floating in the Dead Sea and watching the sunset is a truly magical experience. #VEinJordan

The sunset from the Kempinski Aqaba with a view across 2 Sinai (Egypt) & Eilat (Israel) was fab! #VEinJordan
