Any unique events/festivals Dec 27-Jan 8 in Nordic countries?
Hi everyone!
I'm planning a solo travel trip to Tromsø for a birthday Northen Lights chase. The total trip is 2 weeks Dec 27-Jan 8 and I'm coming from the USA.
Since I have a lot freedom on which countries & cities I stop by, I wanted to ask if there was any specific events or festivals happening during this time that people would think are worth going for. Outside of my Tromsø dates (Jan 2-4), everything else is flexible.
If it's helpful, I'm a mid 20's F, artist and more on the introverted side, but I enjoy exploring and discovering new things, especially outside of my comfort zone.
**General Idea of the cadence I'm hoping for:**
Dec 27-Jan 1: First country/city, Jetlag adjust, New Years events, explore
* $300 airbnb in Tromsø * $1k round trip Flight USA and back (can change to accommodate new countries) * $700 chase + adjacent activities * $1200 food + souvenirs/shopping ($100/day)
Total: $3200, which leaves me $1800 for accommodations + activities in surrounding cities and countries. I'm NOT including travel in these costs as I am happy to go over budget to accommodate for that.
Being an artist, I'm a relaxed type of traveler who prefers to walk down a market or seascape, but always in search of something worth seeing that I wouldn't normally see on my side of the world.
Is there anything during this time frame that someone would recommend? #travel source
