Sayuri, Rin, Ashley, Yufei, Gergana, Paulina, Melissa, Vladislava, Lily, and Chihana embarked on an unforgettable journey to Rovaniemi, Finland, during the winter break. The Arctic landscape welcomed them with a fresh blanket of snow, setting the stage for an enchanting experience.

From visiting Santa Claus’s village to exploring the pristine wilderness through ice skating and sleigh rides, each day was filled with magical moments. Despite cloudy skies, the anticipation of witnessing the Northern Lights kept spirits high. Some were lucky enough to witness them on the second night!

Although the auroras remained elusive, the group’s spirits weren’t dampened as they embraced every adventure, from dog sledding to visiting a reindeer farm. Each experience added to the magic of their winter wonderland excursion. ❄️🌲🦌 #NewPortenaJourney
