ask meme 9!

9. which of your neighbouring countries would you like to visit most/know best?

i have been to pretty much every country within a fairly broad radius around norway EXCEPT russia, which is not particularly tempting right now for,, you know,,, reasons.... though i WOULD love to visit someday in the future. eagle eyed audience members may also be aware that i'm currently living in sweden for a couple years, so i'm getting to know it whether i'd like to or not haha.

i really like iceland and finland! would love to explore finland some more, actually. and åland! i've only visited åland (a tiny island between sweden and finland) for a brief couple days, but i remember it being absolutely lovely. i would also like to visit svalbard someday, although that counts as part of norway.

#did u know russia shares a teeeeeny tiny bit of border with norway way up north there #and were it not for the fact that you need a visa to cross the borders i could've checked it off my list ages ago -#there is a tiny sliver of russia separated from the rest next to the baltics i believe. my mom wanted to go there on a trip thru the baltic #but we didnt have the time to get visas and stuff. the baltics are also really nice haha #my mom has. of course. been to russia plenty of times. i particularly remember her photos from when she took the train as far east #as she could. it sounds cool as hell but also it was before the occupation of ukraine and my mother is not gay and transgender haha #(also just checked and the tiny separated bit of russia is kaliningrad)#my family also went to the faroes without me but it doesn't sound like i missed much. would still like to visit sometimes though
