  Scandinavia is very safe.
  
  I’ve lived all my life here and haven’t had any problems anywhere. :-)
  
  I usually go everywhere by myself even late at night and haven’t experienced any kinds of harassment, threats, etc.
  
  Just keep an open mind and I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful time!

  Thanks guys
  The problem is i’m planning to go there in november – there are no tours operating at that time.. it’ll be really really really cold, but still beautiful and good skiing i’m sure.
  
  there are plenty of sightseeing tours, but no one offers any longer tours (understandably)
  
  thanks again

  Yes norway looks extremely expensive… thats why i’m not staying there for very long – haha. Hostel accomodation is nearly double the price of london hostel accomodation, and i found london to be quite expensive. Atleast the airfare between the cities are very cheap – $89 one way!!!
