Where Swedes go backpacking

One in four Swedes have backpacked at some point in their lives, according to a survey by Skyscanner. Backpacking is defined here as "visiting one or more countries with only a backpack as a pack". Women have backpacked slightly more than men. And where do we prefer to backpack?

Where Swedes prefer to backpack

  1. Europe (65 %)
  2. South-East Asia (26 %)
  3. North (23 %).

I like the concept of backpacking because you are free to travel as you wish. It's a bit like a budget version of motorhome travel in that way. We have backpacked through countries like Russia, Mongolia, China, Ukraine, Kenya and Tanzania. When I was younger, I also travelled by train through Eastern Europe with a friend. Have you ever backpacked?
