Scandinavia & the Nordics

Hello,

I'm seeking advice about any good day hikes in the Faroes. Is it possible to purchase topographic maps over the net before I go?

Thanks.

This maybe such a dumb-ass question but can anyone tell me if there are roads in Greenlan.

My pal and I are planning a mega drive by getting the ferry from iceland, but want to know if there are any roads to drive from east to west (Nuuk)?

Thank you

Hello,

I am a 61-year-old french retiree, divorced and travelling alone.

I am considering some sort of "au pair" : food and lodging in exchange for french lessons. In my younger years, I got graduate degrees, both in France and in the U.S.

I am looking for a nice, quiet place, anywhere, as long as people are friendly and willing to learn or improve their french. I am a discreet, unobtrusive, non smoking guy, used to travelling a good deal. I would consider staying 2 or 3 months.

If you are…

Hi all,

I'm thinking of spending a month to forty-five days in Scandinavia. I'm planning to fly to Copenhagen, stay in Denmark for a few days (max. a week), and go to Finland from there.I want to see as much of Finland, Sweden and Norway as possible.

Could anyone tell me how much I should expect to spend per day? I'll probably go frugal but not to the extreme. I'm planning to stay in 4-bed dorms in hostels or in B&Bs. I'll…
