Sápmi, January 2020

Going to Finland was the opportunity of a lifetime. I met so many amazing people, and learnt more about the Sámi culture. Working alongside Venla and Iia was so inspiring for me. They had such a special bond, and a powerful story in which I had the honour of putting to camera. As much as it was challenging working in the cold, being surrounded by snow was also a source of energy for me. Being in such a beautiful and creative environment was beyond amazing, I felt like I was living in a dream. 

I have so much love for Sámi people and their culture. Their hospitality and kindness really hit home for me, and I know that my peers would agree. Their love for their landscapes, and their knowledge of their ancestors was truly mind blowing. I learnt so much from them, and learnt more about myself and my own potential. Truly the trip of a lifetime.
