Scandinavian Hitchhiking
After graduating from High School I traveled to Europe alone for
about three months, for some soul searching and life experience.
As may be expected, many other people of all ages and from all
sorts of backgrounds were doing some of the same.
I shortly met up with another young American that was traveling
alone too, and the two of us decided to head up through
Scandinavia to try and connect with a family that he knew through
an exchange program. We ended up hitching a ride from a wonderful
Swedish woman in a VW bus, who ended up taking us to her home in
rural Sweden for a nights stay and some food. The hospitality
this woman shared was so genuine and real that we felt like we
were being treated as family.
After a two-night stay, in our own cabin none the less, she
invited us to come back and visit, or even work for a while if we
so desired. My friend arranged to stop back by in a while for an
extended stay and work. She then took us to a main road out of
town so that we could continue our trek north in trying to cross
the Arctic Circle....
