I've always had this idea that road trips were mainly American undertakings. Especially among Midwestern American families and college students. Regardless of my previous associations, a group of international students in Vaasa and I are possibly defining the great Scandinavian road trip. What began as a meeting a month or so ago to plan a trip to Swedish Lapland turned into an epic itinerary to visit some of the most beautiful and most Northern parts of Scandanavia. Ironically, we're not actually visiting Swedish Lapland on this trip. But we are visiting North Cape, the Lygen Alps, and the Lofoten Islands, all in Norway. According to the pictures that occasionally circulate on Pinterest, these are drool-worthy sights that I'm confident will be worth the car time required.
See you in a little over a week, Vaasa!
The recipe for the great Scandinavian road trip:
11 international students
2 cars
5 or so planning meetings and shopping trips
6 different tasks divided amongst the group
Not a lot of euros
1 big appetite for adventure
