How I did it: A friend and I wanted to go on a vacation in a place where not many teenagers go, so we decided on Sweden, booked a boat-ticket online, made a list of places and thinks we wanted to see and asked for some holidaytime from work.

Lessons & tips: Don't stay in one place, Sweden has many beautiful places.

If you go by car, you should sometimes just pull over and admire the view.

Visit some National Parks, for example Skuleskogen and climb to Slåttdalsskrevan, tough climb/walk but worth the effort.
