Hi. icon_smile.gif

Whereto in Sweden do you plan to go? Because the distances can be a bit longer than here in Portugal as you might know. Depending on the region the prices can differ a lot for commuting.

If you are a student you generally have great discounts on trains and buses (a student card from a Portuguese university for instance generally gives you the right to this). Hitch-hiking is not something very common in Sweden. Most people won't stop to pick someone up. In some cases maybe you can arrange a ride if people are going somewhere. I would for instance check on the forum http://alternativ.nu where you can find people who are into self-sufficient living and generally are open to bring someone if you need to go the same direction as they are a particular day. (The forum is in Swedish though so if hard to understand, ask me and I can tell you where to post an add.)

At our place you can learn historical handicraft, bio-agriculture, older preservation techniques etc while Wwoofing! icon_smile.gif
