Scandinavia trip

The most stunning nature of Sweden in a single guide, and, most of all, is made it CHEAP.
I have lived here for a year and had the best budget trips to the backcountry, witnessing northern lights and exploring the wildest nature in Europe.

The guide is significantly nature oriented as Sweden has some of the best landscapes of all Europe and it is one of the most beautiful and safest country to do backpacking. 
It focuses on the central and northern regions as they are the most diverse, filled with mountains and off grid adventures.

Sweden - Chasing the Northern Lights 

Scandinavia 

Sweden is a Scandinavian nation with thousands of coastal islands and inland lakes, along with extensive boreal forests and snow-capped mountains.

It is also one of the perfect areas for hunting the northern lights at the right time.

Capital City. Super expensive. Urban Camping is allowed anywhere (for a night or two) so long as it's not too close to any residences and you “don't disturb, don't destroy.”
