Motion sickness is a very common occurrence. Especially for first time travelers on planes and ships. It has been around for the longest time and is nothing to be ashamed of if you suffer from it. In fact there are more pressing things to worry about.

When you hear the name “Europe”, the first thing that comes to your mind is probably medieval architecture, Renaissance era paintings, statues, and artworks. Although, that’s not entirely Europe. Well, at least not the most northern part of it. Northern Europe is home to the Scandinavian countries. The countries with rich cultural and social history. The infamous Viking age marked the debut of these countries as prominent players in Europe. Though the culture changed significantly after the region’s conversion to Christianity. You are missing out greatly if you haven’t enjoyed the Nordic culture.

I’ve taken to booking long weekends away from work at the end of last year. It all came about pretty naturally, I had three days of holiday left to use and I had the whole of Christmas already booked off. With nothing I needed to spend these days on, I opted to split them over three consecutive Fridays and go off to explore a few different places. It quickly became apparent that I had made the right choices.
