Here you can find facts about strange, exciting, interesting and funny things that have happened in a country or facts that we had no idea about. We use these pages ourselves to get to know a country before we go there, or to get an overview of the country. Try it yourself!

Facts about
The "Facts about" page has come about because FREEDOMtravel.se has been travelling and discovering the world for eight months a year since 2009, specialising in Europe. We have used a motorhome ourselves in Europe, but we write for those who are travelling and think it's fun to have some info along the way. It makes no difference if you fly to a city or town or if you get there mobile, because it is "a little fact" in focus for you as a traveller.
The tips we have will be added to and we will provide a lot of facts about different countries, and we hope that we are an inspiration to you when travelling. Think of us as a digital destination and information site that you can take with you wherever you go.
Which countries do you want facts about?
We are travelling around Europe and maybe there are some special countries that we are missing, that people want to know about, or that there is not enough information online. Feel free to write and tell us!
This page is constantly updated and is a quick reference for those who want to know more before and during their trip.
