HAHA...awesome! Let's see...Sweden was amazing! I absolutely loved it and I got to travel quite a bit because classes were a joke (Ireland, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Finland, Portugal, and Norway). Everything was so expensive over there and the declining dollar did not help either. I really appreciate being able to buy a half gallon of soymilk for less than $3 instead of paying $4 for a liter! The country was incredibly beautiful though, and I got to see quite a bit of it. Veganism was not too difficult because I never really ate out, but that place is seriously dairy obsessed. I congratulate the Swedes on being much healthier, on average, than Americans. Anyways, I miss Europe quite a bit, but it is nice to be back in the States (D.C. for the summer). PS - I LOVED Copenhagen, Kelsi!

you really got around!!! did you take a ferry down to germany? i heard that thats how a lot of swedes go to get their alcohol, because driving to the sea, taking a ferry into germany, buying a buttload of alcohol and taking the ferry/driving back is much cheaper than just buying it in sweden. which place was your favorite? i would love to go to some of those other countries, like estonia, finland, portugal and norway.

I took the ferry to Estonia and Finland...it was definitely a booze cruise...haha, not for me though because I am not a drinker. The alcohol was definitely MUCH cheaper though! Portugal was beautiful, Ireland was incredible, but Norway was definitely my favorite. If you go, get the Eurail pass for at least Norway...it is seriously the most beautiful place that I have ever seen!
