Steal my Solo Scandi Itinerary!

Steal my Solo Scandi Itinerary!

I took a 2-week solo trip through Norway (mostly), Sweden, and Denmark! I planned it the week before I left so can't say these are the absolute BEST places to stay or BEST options. But for a last minute trip, I struck a balance of budget and luxury options for stays, food, and activities and did everything I wanted to do on my list! I travelled in December 2024.

General

I'm based in NYC and wanted to balance budget (read: hostels and hotdogs) with comfort and luxury (read: Nordic Sauna and central hotel room).

This is by no means the absolute BEST choices, but for a last minute trip, I think I did a great job! I am an adventurous eater, can sleep pretty much anywhere, and like a jam-packed itinerary (with breaks scheduled). This isn't for the faint of heart, so feel free to omit if needed.

My main goals were to: 

1) See the Northern Lights

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Welcome! 👋🏼 My name is Courtney. I'm an American/Canadian citizen and have lived in Montreal, The Philippines, and now New York City! When I'm not traveling, I love exploring new spots in my city, reading books, hiking and hanging out with my new puppy! I'm a firm believer that you can travel on any budget, at any age, and you don't have to quit your job or give up everything else in your life to see the world! Why should you work with me? Because I'm a regular twenty-something working a regular job and have been self-funding my traveling for over a decade! I've been in your shoes - wanting to find the best hike, the best cup of coffee, get a drink at the bar the locals go to, see the monuments, eat at Michelin restaurants- and make the most of my time and money. I know what it's like to want to do it ALL and I'm here to tell you that you don't have to choose. I've been sharing my tips and recommendations for a long time, and want to help make travel accessible for everyone.
