• A 10-day tour through 3–4 European countries
• Exotic beaches and buzzing cities
• Canoe trip in Southern Norway with overnight under the stars

• Winter ski trip to a DNT cabin
• Travel planning and budgeting
• Geography, sustainable tourism, and cultural understanding
• Explore tourism as a career and industry

Be your own travel planner
We start the year by exploring possible destinations and deciding together. Want to go diving or try a zip-line? We’ll try to make it happen. You’ll learn how to budget, book transport and accommodation, and plan unforgettable experiences.

Throughout the year, we also visit tourism companies – hotels, cruise ships, and Kristiansand Zoo – and learn about destination development.

Travel Norway too!
Alongside the big trips, you’ll get local adventures: hammock camping by the coast, mountain hikes, ski trips with campfires and board games.

Want more Asia?
Our Asia tour ends before winter break (week 8). Students over 18 may choose to extend their stay and spend the break in Asia.
