How I did it
It made me
surprisingly sleepy 
How I did it: My parents booked my husband and I a night at the Ice Hotel for our wedding present, which was a bit more memorable than a toaster...We flew to Kittila in Finland, transfered to a town called Karasuendo in northern Sweden, took a bus to Kiruna and a taxi to Jukkasjärvi; had lunch at the amazing Ice Hotel restaurant, drank vodka in the Ice Bar and looked at the stunning art suites and ice sculptures, before calling it a night.

It made me
chilly but happy
How I did it: We're currently on holiday in Karesuando in Sweden, 250km above the Arctic Circle. It is late in the winter season, and been bitterly cold, but definitely a unique destination complete with roaming reindeer and nightly displays of the Northern Lights. Read how I did it…
It made me

How I did it: We travelled to Karesuando in northern Sweden, around 200km into the Arctic Circle, and stayed for a week. Almost every night we were treated to a fantastic display of Northern Lights. We've been very lucky. Read how I did it…
