FREEDOMtravel + Resia = true! We have been dying to tell you about this fun collaboration, and now it's finally time! Now you have the opportunity to go on an exclusive group trip with us in early October, in collaboration with Resia. We will have about 20 tickets for a special price, and a competition to win two tickets to this exclusive trip. Do you want to travel with us? First you have to help us decide where to go!

How does it work?
FREEDOMtravel and Resia have together selected five fantastic destinations. We are planning to travel for a week, departing around 6 October 2018. We think this is going to be so much fun, and really hope you want to join us!
5 destinations - Where should we go?
Now we need your help! We are presenting five travel destinations, and we want you to help us choose by telling us which or which destinations you want to travel to, or read about. If you have more favourites, please number them in order. The destination that gets the most votes - that's where we're travelling!
You can vote until Saturday 12 May. As soon as we know the winning destination, we will start working with Resia to customise the trip. This will be an exclusive trip, with activities and excursions selected for us! Here you can read about the five options:
1st Slovenia & Istria (Croatia)
We are travelling to Slovenia with beautiful Ljubljana, Postojnaa Cave and Predjama Castle. We continue to Istria where we taste truffles, which are in their peak season in October. We visit the wonderful peninsula of Rovinj and walk the cobblestone alleys in the autumn heat. Here we can also experience the Brijuni National Park outside Fazana and Tito's old summer house, as well as the world's smallest city Hum. Could it be something?
2. the Czech Republic
In the Czech Republic we can experience wonderful Prague, with a city walk and boat trip. We continue to the marvellous city of Brnowhere we visit vineyards and large beautiful castles. Here we get an exclusive tour of the summer castle. Lednice built by the Lichtenstein family. We can also see Central Europe's largest wine barrel in this charming town. Mikulov, and take us to Punkva caves where we go by boat in the caves north of Brno. Also a good option?
3. Malta & Gozo
Malta and the sister island Gozo is, in our opinion, a pearl of the Mediterranean. Extend your summer and experience Malta's fascinating history and beautiful capital. Valletta. Here we can stroll along the seafront promenade in St Julians and Sliema, and take a boat trip to Gozo where we experience the citadel of Victoria and taste the island's local organic produce. Perhaps there will also be a trip to the wonderful island of Comino with its crystal clear waters. Why not?
4. Portugal
In Portugal we visit the charming capital city Lisbon, which offers fantastic viewpoints and tram rides up and down the famous seven hills. We also visit the fairytale castle of Sintra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with its spires and towers. We also experience the colourful coastal city of Porto together. Exciting, isn't it?
5. Great Britain
In south-west England, Cornwall has a dramatic coastline, powdery beaches and turquoise waters. We experience Bath and the Roman underground springs discovered in the late 19th century, and we walk in the footsteps of Jane Austen.
We also experience Cardiff with its fortresses, taste cheddar cheese and see steam locomotives chugging through the green countryside. Perhaps we will have the opportunity to take a canal boat trip and experience one of the highest tidal differences in the world at 15 metres. Would that work?
What would you like to experience?
You can vote either by commenting on the blog, or by writing on the Facebook or Instagram. After 12 May, we will count all the votes. The destination with the most votes - that's where we'll go. And we hope you'll join us! It will be Peter & Helena Bergström from FREEDOMtravel and Margareta Hallin from Resia and Hallin's travel blog who will join you on the trip.
Do you want to register your interest?
After 12 May, we will announce the destination and the cost of the trip. We will also present a competition where there is a chance to win tickets for the trip. Are you interested in joining the group trip regardless of the destination? Email us at kontakt@freedomtravel.se and we will get in touch with you!

Slovenia is first on my list - I'm soooo disappointed that I am
cannot participate. What an amazing experience to be travelling
with you to a place you dream of.
Admire your entrepreneurial spirit. Just wondering how you find the time
for all you do. - It will be interesting to see the results.
Good luck!

Kenneth Risberg says:
Wow! What a fun and exciting collaboration. Of course I will follow you, it is always fun to travel with you.
It's hard to choose a destination, but I'm considering three of the five.
28 April 2018 - 8:38
Helena says:
Hope you'll join us Kenneth! 🙂 If you can't decide, you can write all three destinations! Write in a comment here on the blog!
28 April 2018 - 8:44
Kenneth Risberg says:
So the three I felt for are Malta & Gozo at the time of year when we start getting autumn here at home. Then Slovenia & Istria with its beautiful nature, caves and castles. Great Britain, Cornwall, Cardiff with fortresses, cheddar cheese and steam engines.
Lots of nice treats to choose from.

What a fun competition! Some of my favourites, but say Slovenia, which floored me last spring? The nature, food and people were top notch. More Slovenia for the people?! / Pernilla

Thomas in the Water says:
#1. Slovenia & Istria. Seems to be most exciting I think.
28 April 2018 - 9:33
Ninni, Henrik in the Knasen household says:
Hello, oh how fun it would be. But too difficult choices. Hmmm Slovenia sounds very exciting but so does Malta...ugh I'm going for Slovenia dp ☺.

Zanna and Myggan Persson says:
Slovenia and Istria for sure! It will be so exciting to follow you! Rovinj is a real gem??!

Maria's Memoirs says:
Slovenia and Istria I probably vote for!!! 🙂 what a wonderful collaboration, and exactly the time of year that I intended to take a couple of weeks of leave!
28 April 2018 - 10:07
Anette Åhnbrink says:
Slovenia and Istria! We have always just passed by, but would be fun to see it! Let's hope for luck in the competition then?

Berit "desires" says:
Oh so much fun, have been to all these lovely places - except Slovenia! October does not fit so well, but this sounds so wonderful that I still hope it could work....But 20 tickets only - you will be bombarded by people who want to join you on this trip, good luck!
28 April 2018 - 11:28
Ann-Louise says:
I vote for Slovenia and Istria! Slovenia is at the top of my list of countries in Europe that I want to visit and I loved Istria when we were there last summer. It would be very fun to go on such a trip. 🙂

Emma, sun like sun? says:
Join the crowd about Slovenia and Istria. But at some point in my life I want to come to Cornwall ...
28 April 2018 - 12:14
Annette says:
England in autumn ❤️ It would really be an experience with the dramatic nature of the coast, plains and sea, steam locomotives, Roman springs. What photos one could take ? And exciting to be in the environment where many novels are set!
28 April 2018 - 12:27
Eva Johansson says:
Hi! Just found the blog. Happy to travel with you to;
1 Portugal
2 United Kingdom
3 Slovenia
It will be interesting to see which one it is

Travel Friday/Annika says:
What fun! I, like most people, am voting for Slovenia and Istria - loved it there.
28 April 2018 - 13:57
Britt-Marie Lundgren says:
We certainly understand that most people seem to be voting for Slovenia. We plan to make our first longer stop in Bled in a few days. This year we have unfortunately booked every free day I can get (and a little more) with travel, but southern England is tempting and Malta is in the planning as soon as we get the opportunity. As I said, a hopefully really long holiday awaits next year.......

:Criss-cross says:
But so much fun. I would like to travel to Cornwall because I haven't even been to England! I think there is so much to discover there!
28 April 2018 - 15:55
Ditte says:
What a nice cooperation! Good luck!
1, Slovenia & Istria in the first place, would like to see more of it even though I have been there several times. And as no. 2 Cornwall. Have never been there but had a desire to get there.
28 April 2018 - 17:23
BP says:
You are absolutely fantastic! As Ruth says, what an entrepreneurial spirit.
Slovenia and Istria seem to be winning a landslide victory among your readers. Been to Rovinj and it's fantastic!
Have been to Cornwall. But it's not great in October because of the weather. That part of England should be visited in July/August.
Portugal is my choice.
28 April 2018 - 17:32
Yvonne Kravos says:
I have been to all these destinations and am fond of them all. It has been a long time since I was in Slovenia, which I have visited a lot before. Would love to show my current partner Postojna, Bled, Lipica, Ljubljana and Predjama Castle etc.
28 April 2018 - 18:37

Slovenia and Istria would be my first choice?
28 April 2018 - 20:25
Travel Linda says:
Fun collaboration! Unfortunately, I have no opportunity to go on a trip already in October after the summer's long holiday, but I would have a hard time choosing between the destinations if I had to!
28 April 2018 - 21:28
Hanna Nilsson says:
All destinations sound appealing but Slovenia and Istria sound extra special!
29 April 2018 - 7:18
Eva-Lena Persson says:
Sounds wonderful either way, but Slovenia, Malta and Czech Republic would be awesome!
29 April 2018 - 7:42
Helena says:
The UK would be my dream holiday 🙂

Birgitta says:
I want them all! But still vote for Slovenia/Istria according to the exclusion method.
Group travel in cities can be quite hard work, even if it is interesting.
I want to wander around Cornwall but preferably earlier than October.
Malta, a paradise, but I was there last October.
So there was only one left. I want to experience nature, culture and food, and since I've never been there, it can feel good to accompany someone who has planned ahead.
30 April 2018 - 15:15
Mr Gerd Elvestuen says:
I would love to travel to Slovenia and Istria again. It's one of the best things.
30 April 2018 - 21:33
Arne Lindh says:
Great! We are interested in the trips in this order.
1. the United Kingdom
2) Portugal
3. the Czech Republic
4) Croatia
5. Malta.
But all destinations are nice.
01 May 2018 - 10:38
Monica Andersson says:
Option one feels just right, just cosy up and feel, together it will be a travel adventure at the highest level.
02 May 2018 - 12:48
Anneli says:
I prefer Slovenia/Istria, but Portugal and Malta are also attractive. Looking forward to the result with excitement.
03 May 2018 - 7:51
Kajsa Andersson says:
I vote for Malta & Gozo.
03 May 2018 - 12:22
Marina says:
Slovenia and Istria
Malta
Yes, all destinations are so tempting.
Good luck with your collaboration and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a place!

Joanna says:
Wow hard to choose . Portugal first, was there in 1983 Lissboa wonderful city. UK with Bath this romantic city, but I never managed to get there. Malta have heard so much about this Island, the people, the food maybe a sailing with catamaran, Czech Republic have no experience, as well as Croatia have been heard good. Hard to choose yes definitively.
04 May 2018 - 5:45
Anita Malmqvist says:
Great idea! Slovenia because I haven't been there yet!!!
04 May 2018 - 23:46
Mr Arne Antman says:
Malta & Gozo. It sounds like an exciting new destination that everyone will want to learn more about.
05 May 2018 - 11:09
Mr Rolf Grönroos says:
Hello!
I vote for alternative 1, SLOVENIA & ISTRIA (CROATIA).
The reason is that I have seen so many wonderful pictures from Slovenia but don't know much about the country.
We have been to Croatia, but then Krk. It was nice in every way. Very curious about Istria!
11 May 2018 - 9:05
Camilla Sandmark says:
Slovenia & Istria seem incredibly attractive so I have it as number one even though I can imagine travelling to all the places.
