Touring Scandinavia

If you love forests and lakes you're good to go!

Wild camping is legal in Sweden (and Norway? Finland?). The roads are low traffic with good shoulders. Food from stores is a bit more expensive than in the USA. Everything in Norway is much more expensive than just about anywhere else on the planet :/

Bike theft even happens here, so don't get lulled into complacency. Lots of mosquitoes in summer (less so in Denmark).

Everyone speaks english.

All above is a bit generalised of course, regions vary, notably Denmark and the south of sweden are more flat with farmland and denser population. Distances between towns and villages increase the further north you get and the further inland and into the mountains.

Välkommen!
