Thanks! Looks like the next RDF meet-up nearest me is the day before my trip, perfect time to make sure everything is packed and get some last minute advice!

Thank you! My daughter (born in US but raised in Sweden) lives in Skane. I've done a bit of exploring between there and Gothenburg while visiting her, but no real overlanding. Beautiful!
