Like there was the semester break coming soon, in February of this year, me and 3 friends decide to go on a trip through Skandinavia. This trip have started in Oslo and continue in Copenhagen, Malmo and finally in Stockholm.
Well... we decided we were not just looking for a city visiting trip, we wanted it to be a funny and interesting one. Thus, we decided to live the CouchSurfing experience because we really wanted to get closer to all the different cultures and traditions in the countries we were. (On my Helsinki Trip I already had gotten to know a part of the Skandinavia area and I loved so much that we just wanted go there ago! ... Actually ... over this first one I have tried the TIPICAL finish sauna and it was just amazing and fun)
Okay, let me tell you also something about my friends that were my tripmates. We were four international students. Three girls(From Portugal, Spain and France) and one boy (from Germany). All medical erasmus students in Wroclaw.  It was Peter, Andrea and Béné.

Well... directly giving you our Trip PLAN!
