In the summer of 2024, I cycled along the coastlines of Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland and Sweden. I spent the nights wild camping in nature except when I arrived at major cities — there I booked inexpensive stays via Airbnb in order to properly explore these cities by foot.
In Tallinn, Estonia’s capital, I locked my bicycle and camping gear in a rentable storage room and took the bus to Saint Petersburg, from where I later went to Moscow.
I started my journey from Copenhagen airport and returned from Stockholm, my favourite Scandinavian city for years — until I finally had a proper look at Copenhagen itself in 2025, but that’s for another video 😉

Wild camping in the Baltic States and Scandinavia is explicitly allowed. Estonia even has designated, maintained camping areas along its coastline (with running washing water, dry toilets). Imagine drifting off to sleep to the sound of chirping birds, or not being able to fall asleep out of fear of wild boars or even bears. Is that your kind of thing?
