Hi there!
We are Jesper and Kristin, the couple behind Scenic Itinerary. We’re thrilled that you’ve found our blog, which is primarily dedicated to helping you plan your next adventure! We’ll also be sharing travel tips and top picks for destinations and products we personally use.
We’ve been together since 2016 and have already embarked on numerous adventures together. We live in Stockholm and both have full-time jobs. But having full-time jobs doesn’t stop us from exploring the world, and we’ll be showcasing that through this blog. We’re passionate about travel and love discovering new places, cultures, and cuisines. We prefer to savor local food at hole-in-the-wall eateries rather than Michelin-starred restaurants.
Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a 4-week trip, we always travel with just carry-on luggage. Check out our tips on smart packing and fitting everything into your carry-on [link].
When it comes to budgeting, we strive to travel smartly. We’d say we fall between budget and mid-range travelers. When booking hotels, we opt for simple double rooms and allocate more funds for activities. For meals, we typically have a simple breakfast of baguette/bread and to-go coffee (unless it’s included with our accommodation) and seek out affordable local eateries for lunch and dinner. We’ll be sharing more budget-friendly tips on the blog as well.
Destinations
Since we started traveling together in 2016, we’ve managed to check off around 40-50 countries together, and we’re aiming for 100. Our focus has been primarily on Europe and North America, but we’ve also explored Asia and Africa.
We plan to create detailed itineraries for all the destinations and cities we’ve visited. These will come in due time. If you’re looking for quick tips on a destination we haven’t covered yet, feel free to send us a message and we’ll be happy to assist you.
Our vision for this blog
Our vision for this blog is to demonstrate that you don’t need endless time and money to travel. With careful planning and budgeting, it’s often possible to explore the world on a shoestring. By meticulously planning your vacation, you can make the most of it and potentially travel the globe. It takes time and dedication to plan those grand trips, and it may take years to tick off all your bucket list destinations, but that’s where we come in. With our tips on how to optimize your travels, you’ll be able to see the world even if you don’t have all the time in the world.
