00:00Hey, I'm Chloe, Afar's Associate Destinations Editor.

00:06There are so many reasons to love the Nordic region,

00:08from its jaw-dropping icy landscapes to, of course, the well-loved northern lights.

00:13Here's some of the most exciting places in the region to travel to next,

00:16which include a design-focused city and a place where sheep actually outnumber people.

00:20Let's get into it.

00:27Copenhagen's colorful houses and historic canals never get old,

00:30but there are plenty of new things to see, too, like the Reopen Design Museum of Denmark.

00:34It now features a permanent exhibition focused on Danish design from the 1920s to the 1970s,

00:39which is all about functionality and minimalism.

00:43Be sure to also check out cool neighborhoods like Røfselund,

00:45which was an industrial area, but is now a hub for cool eateries like the Røfenstreet Food Market.

00:51Lowery's mountains, fjords, and waterfalls are just a few reasons why this is the country for outdoor adventure.

00:56So take a van and go cross-country from Oslo to beautiful places like the city of Bergen or Gudvangen Village.

01:02Thanks to the upcoming solar maximum, the northern lights will be especially spectacular over the next year or so.

01:08Swedish Lapland, in the Arctic part of Sweden, is one of the best places to see a show.

01:13Memorable stays here include cabins on stilts and even a hotel built out of snow and ice.

01:17If you visit in early February, don't miss the chance to learn about indigenous Salmi culture at the annual Jakbuk Winter Market.

01:25Favaro Islands launched its Close for Maintenance Open for Voluntourism program in 2019,

01:29where volunteers can participate in infrastructure projects and exchange your free room and board,

01:34and the chance to see some gorgeous parts of the archipelago.

01:36Even if you don't get into the program, the dramatic fjords and clips definitely make it worth the trip.

01:43In 2020, Iceland launched its Remote Work Visa, allowing non-EU residents to stay in the country for up to 180 days.

01:50Its capital, Reykjavik, is an ideal setup for digital nomads working U.S. hours.

01:55Taking a puff-in or whale-watching trip during the day,

01:58and you can still be back to your hotel or coffee shop in time for that important Zoom call.

02:01The 2024 World Happiness Report named Finland the happiest country in the world for the 7th year in a row.

02:08There are lots of ways to explore why people are just so happy there,

02:11from the access to nature, to relaxing saunas,

02:14or maybe take a plunge in icy waters and embrace Sisu,

02:17the Finnish concept of grit to get through tough times.

02:21Well, thanks for watching.
