Good travel mates is of the upmost importance. If you can’t stand them, your trip will be a nerve wrecking experience. Our former experience as travel mates include: Biking in Germany, Interrail in Europe and several adventurous trips to Djupen. Therefore we already know how to annoy each other and make it a miserable trip

Buy the tickets early, we did it a year in advance — don’t give yourself the possibility to back out!

Organize important information regarding the trip so you don’t forget it. And Eivind just wanted it.
