I went on a little round trip through Southern Scandinavia aka Norway, Sweden and Denmark in June.
The term roadtrip doesn't exactly apply, I have to admit, but it sounds better than "journey via plane, bus and train". Anyways, today I want to present you my itinerary and a couple of shots that hopefully inspire you to go on a similar trip yourself - as an actual road trip even?!
