Driving around Europe in our Nissan Micra

We travel on three planes

Traveling always gives you new insights about yourself and the world you live in. This is perhaps the most rewarding way to grow and expand. On this trip we will be driving with a little red Nissan Micra (2000) around in Europe. jenn with our nissan micra
Starting from Nagu, Finland we aim to drive until either the car, wallet or health gives up or we feel full and inspired enough to take road back home. We will be budget traveling but the Micra is not big enough to sleep in so our trusty tent will be were we get our precious sleep, most of the time.

Coming from Finland

From Finland you can take 6 different ways down into you Europe.
  • The ferry from Helsinki to Stockholm
  • Ferry from Helsinki to Tallin
  • Ferry from Turku to Stockholm
  • Ferry from Vasa to Umeå
  • Drive around the Baltic Sea east via Russia
  • Drive around the Baltic Sea north via Lapland
We chose to take the ferry over to Stockholm, Sweden from Turku, Finland.

Take part in our trip

We have a base plan for our trip, that you can see in this google map, but we are really open to change it in any direction. If you have any tips or recommendations, from an awesome back alley graffiti piece to a country side abandoned castle (do they exist?) then please feel free to fill in your recommendations on the map or leave a comment!
