Re: Sweden
Yes staying in hostels.
All my nights have been good nights sleep except for one... That was a horrid night I would prefer not to repeat. I have been gone about 2 weeks now, and slept on night trains 2 of those nights.
Where I have been there have been no thieves, but I don't flash money around and wear a money belt, etc.
As I am going further south in Europe I will probably pick up a lock to lock my things up at night.
Hostels are quite interesting, if you want to meet people, you can easily. Many lonely travellers wanting to start up a good conversation. I have met a few interesting people, and exchanged addresses with a couple people as well. I hope they decide to come to the states and stay with me for a few days, but who knows.
I am travelling by myself, it has its ups and downs.
I'd say
Pros: Do whatever you want, when you want.
Cons: Can be a bit boring if you are in a slower hostel. Plus there are times when you see something interesting and would like to point it out to a companion but you can't.
I think when I travel next time to Europe I will try to go with just one other person. I think groups bigger than 2 would be too much of a hassle.
