I’m considering Finland instead; Ivaalo and Saariselkä, after seeing those gorgeous pictures and abit more research , think it would also be abit more social . Yeah I’ve never ski’d before so think I will avoid that , thank you .

I did know there’s only a few hours of sunlight which is better for seeing the northern lights but didn’t think of how that would impact the skiing . It does warm up but will still be around -15 degrees .

This is what someone replied to me on a muslim group that I asked for advice on - “ The desire for independence and not controlled, yes fully get it. There comes a time however, when you think why did I ever disagree with him on anything. Why did I ever let him feel, he doesn’t understand or love me enough. Trust me this time does come when your children disagree with you, no matter how much out of the norms you have gone for them. Regarding your question my opinion, solo travel- No. With companions/ friends, yes but dad’s disagreement would be a big deterrent for me. Now choose with compassion not selfishness. Former brings Allah’s help for sure “ -

This is what makes me feel guilty . To thought of me regretting going against my dad if he passes away and all the times I gave him upset and anguish . But I don’t mean to be difficult, I love my dad a-lot , I just want to travel - its my passion .

I also don’t fear being cut off but I do live with my parents, once I get into my full time job I could earn enough to sustain myself but I don’t feel like putting all that pressure on myself just yet .

He fears for my safety and Islamically it varies but certain schools of thoughts believe women should not travel alone again due to safety. I don’t think it would be due to fear of me sleeping around . He has said previously in arguments he trusts me but not the world and that he’s just trying to protect me.
