hi! i'm from vancouver, canada. it's been my dream for my whole life to travel as i've never left the country due to the cost and reoccurring health issues.

i'm turning 19 in january and am considering asking for only money from friends and family to save up for a trip to finland with my mom, either in the spring or summer. i'd love to visit naantali (moominworld) as well as helsinki. i would also like to check out sweden if possible!

i'm completely clueless as to how much this trip would cost. does anyone have an idea of a MINIMUM estimate for flight, transit, food and a place to stay? would it be cheaper to stay in finland or sweden? and is spring/summer a more or less affordable time to visit compared to the colder months?

we're fine staying in a hostel or something similar (i'm a camper!) not big foodies so cheap meals are fine. would love to do some shopping in naantali and stockholm though, so of course adding that to the cost.

thanks for any help! if i'm in the wrong sub please feel free to direct me elsewhere.
