When I'm not travelling, I spend much of my time in the beautiful nature of Norway and love to go hiking, both with and without the tent on my back. It basically gives me the same sense of freedom as travelling abroad.<\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-i-blogginlagg freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-2789242354\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-slider-88752\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-1373871407 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-3892107054\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/se.adria-mobil.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"adria-freedom-top-banner-588x158px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-toppbanner-588x158px.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-2342323160\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ullbadden.se\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-224x60.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-18x5.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-433x116.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider1373871407 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-1373871407\" );$freedslider1373871407.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" ); });$freedslider1373871407.unslider({ delay:4000, autoplay:true, nav:false, arrows:false, infinite:true });$freedslider1373871407.on(\"mouseover\", function() {$freedslider1373871407.unslider(\"stop\");}).on(\"mouseout\", function() {$freedslider1373871407.unslider(\"start\");});});<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hur-vacktes-ditt-intresse-for-att-resa\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hur_vacktes_ditt_intresse_for_att_resa\"><\/span>What sparked your interest in travelling?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think my interest in travel started before I had even travelled much myself. My family did a lot of driving around the northern and western parts of Europe when I was younger, but a lot of the inspiration to see the world came from films and documentaries on TV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I went on my first trip outside Europe, to the United States, with a friend and her family when I was 17 years old, it really 'clicked'. I was bitten by the travel bug. It was a magical feeling to breathe in the air from the other side of the globe and see what you had previously only seen on film. I had an insatiable appetite to see what else was out there.<\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-i-blogginlagg-2 freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-3740209276\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-slider-88753\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-1342622030 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-376367343\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elmia.se\/husvagn\/for-besokare\/biljetter\/?utm_source=freedomtravel&#038;utm_medium=banner&#038;utm_campaign=elmiahusvagn_kop_biljett_mars-sep\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158-300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158-224x60.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158-18x5.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158-433x116.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-2607149896\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/husbilslandet.com\/i-lager?amount=-1&#038;vehicle_type=camper&#038;price=219000%2C8874149&#038;y=2005%2C2027&#038;weight=1000%2C18000&#038;rea=true\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Demo sale (588 x 158 px)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px-.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px-.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px--300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px--224x60.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px--18x5.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px--433x116.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider1342622030 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-1342622030\" );$freedslider1342622030.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" ); });$freedslider1342622030.unslider({ delay:4000, autoplay:true, nav:false, arrows:false, infinite:true });$freedslider1342622030.on(\"mouseover\", function() {$freedslider1342622030.unslider(\"stop\");}).on(\"mouseout\", function() {$freedslider1342622030.unslider(\"start\");});});<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beratta-om-3-harliga-resmal-som-du-tycker-att-fler-borde-fa-uppleva\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Beratta_om_3_harliga_resmal_som_du_tycker_att_fler_borde_fa_uppleva\"><\/span>Tell us about 3 great travel destinations that you think more people should experience!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What a difficult question!

I love travelling to new places, and it also challenges you and takes you out of your comfort zone. <strong>Myanmar (Burma)<\/strong> is probably one of the countries that has influenced me the most. It was one of the first countries outside of Europe that I went to on my own, and the infrastructure was still quite poor then. I had to rely on complete strangers over and over again to get around the country.<\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-stora-banners-i-blogginlagg-2 freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-433155832\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-471677994\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/wifi.se\/produkt\/hybrid-traveller-portabel-5g-router-med-backup-batteri-i-over-6-timmar-usb\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"freedom\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/freedom.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"588\" height=\"288\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It went just fine, and it's so good to think about how many kind, warm people are out there. People who barely own the clothes they are standing in, but still open their home to wild strangers. Who sincerely do everything they can to help you, a person they have met only minutes before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That trip really opened my eyes to how good the world really is, as opposed to what you hear so much about in the media (and of course there is a lot of evil too, as we've realised lately, but you still can't forget all the others out there - those who live to make the world a better place).<\/p><div class=\"freed-placering-11 freed-entity-placement\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"freed-2609674244\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div

But perhaps the best example is from <strong>Venezuela<\/strong>, when my ex and I landed on the island of Isla Margarita in the middle of the night, with no local currency and none of the ATMs working. We couldn't speak Spanish either, but somehow managed to communicate that we needed to get to our hotel on the other side of the island, stopping at an ATM on the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also rented a moped on the island and managed to puncture it on two separate occasions. Both times as it was getting dark and we found ourselves in no man's land. Both times we were terribly distressed, but were rescued by helpful locals who also refused to accept payment for patching up the moped and giving us a lift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortunately, I've never had any major accidents while travelling, but if it does happen, there's really not much you can do other than trust the locals to help, and of course have good travel insurance before you leave. <\/p><div class=\"freed-stor-banner-plats-14 freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-2761811738\"><div id=\"freed-slider-88782\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-4064638258 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-2553155983\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/husbilslandet.com\/i-lager?amount=-1&#038;vehicle_type=camper&#038;price=219000%2C8874149&#038;y=2005%2C2027&#038;weight=1000%2C18000&#038;rea=true\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Demo sale 588x588px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-224x224.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-325x325.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-520x520.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"588\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-1193707932\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/se.adria-mobil.com\/husvagnar\/alpina\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"adria-freedom-XL-588x588px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-224x224.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-325x325.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-520x520.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"588\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider4064638258 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-4064638258\" );$freedslider4064638258.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" ); });$freedslider4064638258.unslider({ delay:5000, autoplay:true, nav:false, arrows:false, infinite:true });$freedslider4064638258.on(\"mouseover\", function() {$freedslider4064638258.unslider(\"stop\");}).on(\"mouseout\", function() {$freedslider4064638258.unslider(\"start\");});});<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people may think that travelling is always a walk in the park, but of course it's not. You encounter at least as much adversity as the opposite. But you do that in life too, so it's basically naive to think that it's not like that when travelling. Fortunately, the positive experiences always outweigh all the negative ones, and the adversity has never made me doubt whether I should travel again. That desire will probably never go away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hur-finansierar-du-dina-resor-och-vilka-ar-dina-basta-tips-for-att-halla-nere-budgeten\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hur_finansierar_du_dina_resor_och_vilka_ar_dina_basta_tips_for_att_halla_nere_budgeten\"><\/span>How do you finance your travelling and what are your best tips for keeping your budget down?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I said, I work in a nursing home and I don't have any big expenses as I don't have a family yet. I also spend a lot of time planning my trips to make them as cheap as possible. Also, I don't spend much money when I'm in Norway. For example, I shop at sales, buy second-hand furniture, don't go out much, buy alcohol at tax-free shops, rarely eat out and so on. I prioritise spending money on travel, so I tend to live more frugally at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What's more, you often get your experiences abroad much cheaper than at home in Norway anyway. As long as you sign up for the email newsletter, you get good access to cheap flights and hotels. I am basically just a student, and when I manage to travel abroad 5-10 times a year, there are probably many others who can also do it just by prioritising differently and saving better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-vad-har-du-for-resplaner-for-2016\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vad_har_du_for_resplaner_for_2016\"><\/span>What are your travel plans for 2016?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I actually don't have any booked trips yet for 2016, but that will probably change soon, hehe. Cuba, Central America and Central Asia are places that have been on my wish list for a long time, so I'll probably look into travelling there first. Otherwise, I am so pleased to have finally visited countries like Australia, Georgia, Armenia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Japan this year, countries that have long been on the wish list, so I have good faith that 2016 can also be a great travel year! Time will tell :).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-till-sist-en-fraga-vi-staller-till-alla-vi-intervjuar-vilket-ar-ditt-dromresmal\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Till_sist_en_fraga_vi_staller_till_alla_vi_intervjuar_Vilket_ar_ditt_dromresmal\"><\/span>Finally, a question we ask everyone we interview: What is your dream destination?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oh, Easter Island! This small, mysterious island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean has long been the ultimate destination for me. Its location makes it both difficult to access and expensive, so it's not a place I think I'll be able to visit anytime soon. But it will always be at the top of my travel wish list! Let's just hope that the opportunity arises one day ...<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\"
