So, before my big trip, I am putting this out here just for me to write something about it afterwards. I have been super busy this past few months given all the activities that I've been doing here in Bergen.
I will update you with photos and extra tips after I got back from my trip and show here how much I've spent as a budget traveler. Literally not planning to spend more than 4000NOK in everything. Also, Gdansk is not on this blog post yet since my " travel plan" for that city is still mess up.
So my route would be from Gdansk-Riga-Tallinn-Vilnius-Oslo then back to Bergen.
