Hi Setenay !
I was thinking of a bike, or in winter cross-country ski (I don't know, i'm just kidding !) :p

Hello Aurélie !!!

Thank you for comment, I think so bicycle is the best option for transportation but I've never ridden a bike in winter so I have trouble about this issue :) anyway I believe to solve this problem in Rovaniemi

Hei setenay!

The best way for transportation from Kuntotie to the university is by bus, because it is quite far. You can ride bicycle, of course, but in the case of the temperature goes down like, -25 Celcius Degree and it is full of snow, bus is always the best! I can say this from my experience! It was really hard for me to ride bicycle when there's like tons of snow on the road!

Hope this will help! and if you have any question, feel free to ask!

Hello to everyone, I am an Italian 29 years old graphic designer specialized in processing photos and editing.

I have been in Rovaniemi last winter on holiday and I am planning to move there again for a few months next winter (2 or 3). I would like understand if, in your experience, there is any chance to find a job and an accommodation for such a short period of time. I am available for any kind of job, of course.
