The Swedish travel blog FREEDOMtravel was started in 2009 by us, Peter och Helena Bergström. Here you find inspiration about destinations in Sweden, Europe and worldwide, and we also update with a new blogpost every day at 6 am. Follow us to hectic cities, exotic beaches and pittoresque places just around the corner. We are always about to find new adventures, inform about travel and camping news and report from the life on a houseboat.
