Sweden is home to roughly 9 million Swedes as well as more than it’s fair share of Moose. A surprisingly large country, (the fourth largest country in Europe by land area) the capital and largest city is the canal-filled Stockholm while a vast majority of the country is covered in beautiful forests and lakes.

I'm a Bondi local...it is always packed with people...if you're looking for a more chilled beach hang out, check out Tamarama, Coogee or Bronte beach, all 5-10mins from Bondi.
My best advice is to step outside your comfort zone and make an effort to talk to EVERYONE on tour. I made friends from 6 continents on the one tour!!!
A great way to spend the afternoon in Paris? Grab some cheese, a baguette and some wine from the shops on the Champs Elysees and head down for a picnic in front of the Eiffel Tower!
