Experiences in Europe
We've put together the "Experiences in Europe" page, which we think is important because it gives you 25-30 tips on a country's best sights and things to do. We have spent several months in many countries and can share our experiences from Europe. We will add to it over time and the idea is that there will be an article for each country to give you great ideas for what to do on your holiday or weekend.

Experiences in Europe
Experiences in Europe has come about through FREEDOMtravel.se travelling and exploring the world for 5-8 months a year since 2009, specialising in Europe. We have used a motorhome ourselves but we write for you as a traveller. It makes no difference if you fly to a city or town or if you get there by mobile, because it is "experiences in Europe" in focus for you as a traveller.
The tips that we have will be added to and we will have many experiences in many cities, and we hope that we are an inspiration to you who are travelling. No one wants to come home from a destination to someone saying "did you miss that, oh no". Think of us as a destination site that is digital and that you always have with you when travelling.
Which countries do you want from Europe?
We go around the Europe and maybe there are some special ones that we are missing, that many people want answers to, or that there is not enough information on the web. Feel free to write and tell us!
