Northern Lights on a Budget?

Everything I spent whilst on a budget in Swedish Lapland 🤑 📍 Abisko, Sweden For the first 24 hours of my trip to Abisko, I wanted to see whether it was possible to have fun whilst being on a tight budget 😨 In my research I found very little information on what you could do if the expensive guided tours weren’t an option for you. AND, just how important a guide is to finding the Northern Lights?! 🌌 🚂 HOW DO YOU GET TO ABISKO? You can fly into Kiruna and get a transfer, or do what I did and get an overnight train from Stockholm! Check out my previous videos for what that was like. 🏨 WHERE IS THE CHEAPEST PLACE TO STAY IN ABISKO? The cheapest hostel in Abisko is Abisko.net which is in the town, a 35 minute walk from the Turistation, which is on the edge of Abisko National Park. Not only was it cheapest per night, but it also had a cheap bed linen and towel hire and it’s warm boot and clothes rental was pretty affordable too 🥾 There are kitchens, a few showers and a loo on each floor. They also have a huge sauna which is open for 1 hour a night. Yes, you have to take your clothes off but don’t worry, you can use towels to cover yourself if you’d prefer! It is basic, but well cared for and I absolutely loved the vibe, the people and the fact that I felt like I was back on a school trip. 🌌 CAN YOU SEE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS ON A BUDGET? The wonderful thing is… the sky is free!!! So yes, but it will come down to your weather conditions. Abisko is a really good place to spot them - apparently you have an 80% chance if you stay for 3 nights - but to help you out, download the ‘Aurora’ app. It’s also worth getting away from any light sources and if you want to take nice photos, take a DSLR/Mirrorless camera though you can still pick it up on your phone too 🤳 Finally - the lights can come and go QUICKLY - so wrap up warm, take a flask and get ready to wait! 📣 HAVE YOU SEEN THE NORTHERN LIGHTS BEFORE? If so let us know where and any tips you have for spotting them! #abisko #northernlights #aurora #budgettravel
