Oh nice, I have an old friend down there. I’m from Los Angeles, California. (Technically Redondo Beach, but I’ll keep it simple.)

I’ll be ending in Stockholm. I really wanted to go over to Helsinki, but if my trip is any longer, I’ll be dropped from my classes back home :(
So what made you guys choose Scandinavia?

Oh right, I’m hending in Helsinki. I’ve always wanted to go to Sweden so I thought I’d do the rest of Scandinavia too :) You?

Sounds good :) My ancestry hails from Norway, so I thought it’d be a good way to see the land of my people. Plus I’ve had a sudden fascination with Vikings lately.
Yep, I’ll be starting out in Berlin.

Hey, I’ll be starting in Copenhagen because I’m visiting a friend there first and then ending in Stockholm. So many reasons to go to Scandinavia. Have wanted to go for ages (from watching the Olympics and Eurovison – don’t judge me – when i was younger) :) :) Currently most excited about going to Legoland in Denmark. But the polar plunge sounds sooo awesome too
Will be great to meet you guys :)

Agreed! I can’t wait to meet all of my tripmates. I think we’re going to have a lot of fun together.
Almost all of my favorite bands come from Scandinavia too, so I’m excited about that.
I may stay an extra night in Stockholm, I haven’t decided yet either. It all depends on my school schedule, which I wont know until the end of March. I’ll look into it tonight, see if I can coordinate something…
Have you been to Legoland in the United States?

Hey Joseph!! Yep I’m starting in Berlin!! I went there on Contiki just over 12 months ago but feel like I missed so many things so will be trying to cram some sightseeing in before and after the tour (as I finish in Berlin too)! Hoping to arrive in Berlin on the 10th so will see how jetlag hits me first lol!! :) When are you heading over?!? Is this going to be your first adventure over to Europe?!?!

Excellent :) I’ll be arriving in Berlin the morning of the 11th. This is my first tour with Contiki, but I’ve been to Europe before, back in 2008. So far I’ve traveled through England, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, France, South Korea, Turks and Caicos, Mexico, and Kauai. I have a feeling Scandinavia is going to be my most memorable trip!

Hey guys, that’s fair enough, I found an awesome hostel at Stockholm airport – in an old plane. Soooo cool :)
Haven’t been to america yet but the Danish Legoland is the original so a good place to start. I really want to get to Disneyland in LA eventually. Btw Welcome to the forum Jen :)- 0 people like this
