Trip around the Baltics/Nordics
Hi guys,

going on a road trip around Eastern Europe, the Baltic and Nordic countries this early spring until late summer. Which countries would you hit up?

Current plan:

Vilnius, Lithuania for late January-February
Tallinn, Estonia for March (tons of students over there). We're avoiding Latvia since everyone knows it sucks.
Helsinki, Finland for April-May
Stockholm, Sweden for June

After that.. anything is open. I've spent a few weeks on the Baltic coast in LT last summer and loved it. Didn't do so well with the chicks though. Only 1 SNL in 1 week. Was much easier in Sweden.. and I hear from Finnish guys that I'd kill it in Helsinki

What do you think of the trip, any tips for those cities or would you do the trip differently? Weather doesn't really matter to us. We're 2 southern European looking guys with a good bankroll used to cold weather since we're from a place with a lotttt of snow. Any suggestions are welcome.

Cheers

RE: Trip around the Baltics/Nordics
Looks like a good plan, starting in the "south" in the winter and going farther north as it gets warmer. Rounding out with Sweden in June is also a good move since the local talent is in heat by then. As always when it comes to Sweden I recommend people to bypass Stockholm (especially in the summer) and instead tour the smaller cities.

I was under the impression that summer was when Stockholm let loose?

All of Sweden lets loose in the Summer. Of course, there's always going to be a party in Stockholm even if you come during the winter. Still if you want to take full advantage of the effect the summer has on Scandinavia you need to find the smaller places that are now bustling with activity after the winter.

Anyone older than 16 years should have no problem carrying a conversation with you.

RE: Trip around the Baltics/Nordics
What smaller cities in Sweden do you recommend? I've heard great things about Gothemburg but I feel that when we'll be there, which is around June, most of the Students will be gone. I've heard good stuff about Halmstad too.

On the other side, the masses of homecoming students in Stockholm have helped me in scoring a few 2/2 weekends last year too..


Any recommendations on websites where to rent apartments for 1 month in Sweden and Finland?

In my gothenburg data sheet I explain why the city receives a boost in activity during summer. It's a summer destination.

RE: Trip around the Baltics/Nordics
I don't think you would regret starting this trip in Poland for a month. If you hit one of the student heavy cities there will be plenty to keep you busy most nights. I can't say that about the Baltic cities (unless you like ice fishing). However, you are hitting them at a time with little tourism. This should work to your advantage. I just happen to agree with the Finnish guys (although I would usually take dudes advice from their homeland with a grain of salt). You should do well there but I feel the talent is a notch lower than the other cities (maybe reduce time spent here?) Agree with the opinion on Sweden as a whole. It is a perfect time of year to roll in and staying away from Stockholm should work out better for you.

Spent 3 weeks last summer in Stockholm. It was pure heaven. The whole soccer player thing that the Swedes have attached to Southern Europeans works in your favor so badly...
I'd regularly tell them my name (sounds Italian although I'm not Italian) and I would have girls say "Oh... [insertname]! That sounds hot...". I'm not an awesome dancer but know how to move myself, chicks would ask me if I knew how to dance salsa and just take them to these spots. lol..

Out of the 3 weekends I managed to make two of them 2/2's. And the chicks are actually super laid back and cool... I can't believe that I still text with them once in a while on FB. Fuck I can't wait to go back and spend 20$ on a Vodka Red Bull again. Actually, we had girls buying us drinks on some occasions too.

Barcelona and other Southern European spots are FULL of Scandinavian girls looking to hang with Southern Europeans. It's ridiculous. Go to Rhodos in the summer.. you'll be in a Swedish colony.

we are thinking about Poland but somehow hesitant since we'll be rolling in 2 pretty expensive cars. I've heard horrible shit about their specialized car thiefs. Although the women might just make up for the trouble..

About the Finnish guys... They had 0 game (they don't need it.. everyone just gets drunk and has low quality sex) and judging from their FB connections the guys aren't nearly as fashionable as us or random Swedish guys. I've had great success with Finnish girls although outside their country only.. and all of them were complaining about the .fi guys. I still prefer Norwegian and Swedish women.. they were def. more feminine and not batshit crazy compared to the Finns I've hooked up with.
