Our tips and tricks to see the Northern Lights and bring back beautiful pictures to impress your mother-in-law ;)
Sweden
We waited long enough before traveling to Sweden.... perhaps because the cost of living is rather high, perhaps also because of a lack of opportunity. But in 2018, Fabienne's best friend suggested that we go with her on the northern part of the Kungsleden trek in Swedish Lapland. An opportunity that we did not miss to discover for the first time the landscapes of northern Sweden.
Discovering Sweden on foot and in a tent has allowed us to really travel on a budget... Anyway, if you want our opinion, you shouldn't come to Sweden to eat in restaurants and sleep in beautiful hotels! It is better to come and explore the still very wild nature of this northern land.
