The mountains and months of snowfall in Trysil mean that this winter sports town has to be creative when it comes to what they can do locally.

Vimmerby is known as the birthplace of Astrid Lindgren, Sweden's most loved children's book author (creator of Pippi Longstocking and many others).

Tareq starts the next leg of his journey by visiting Sydvestjylland - a unique area in Denmark filled with endless contrasts.

At the northern-most part of Denmark, you are always close to raw, beautiful nature, and incredible sunlight that has drawn artists here for over 100 years. Tareq visits a salt maker using medieval techniques, an aquarium where he gets up close to the fish, and the town of Skagen, considered one of Denmark's most beautiful towns.

There are not many places in Sweden like Tornedalen. A rushing river has provided for locals for centuries, and the very fertile land has yielded amazing crops for centuries. But being right on the Arctic Circle means the summer is short - so Tareq explores the traditions and the food that are part of this season.
