Marvel at the Northern Lights from your glass igloo
Europe, Finland
Scientists are predicting 2025 will bring the best Northern Lights display in 20 years! Located in Finland’s Lapland region, we all know who the most famous resident here is, and we’d put money on Santa spending most of his downtime at an igloo resort!
These snow-tucked hotels boast multiple glass igloos and will be the perfect place to witness the aurora borealis. Accommodating between two and four guests, a domed thermal glass design and zero WiFi, these igloos allow you to take a cosy digital detox beneath a fluttering of snow and the best starlit sky in Europe. Marbling the sky from August through to late April, for a once-in-a-lifetime auroras experience, book an igloo stay.

Travel has been a constant in my life since my OE started with a classic Contiki trip through Europe, followed by working in London and traveling through the UK, Turkey, Egypt, and Israel. I also spent a year working in Iceland—a now trendy travel hotspot—before returning to New Zealand.
In 2000, my family moved to the middle east living in both Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, which provided an exciting base for exploring nearby destinations. We had unforgettable holidays in Austria, France, the UK, Cyprus, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Sri Lanka, and Kenya.
Returning to New Zealand marked a new chapter of travel, this time without children. Recent adventures have included Vietnam, India, China, Peru, and Cambodia.
My travel career started with Singapore Airlines and since 2019 I’ve been consulting at House of Travel in Howick. I love talking and connecting with clients, listening to their travel dreams and turning them into memorable experiences.
Whether you're looking for an island getaway, relaxing cruise or an exciting adventure, I’m here to help you plan the perfect trip.
Travel is an adventure that brings the world to life.
