JANUARY 2006

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We cant believe it's already 2006! Time flies by too quickly! Before we know it, summer will be here!

This is definitely the time to start thinking about your summer vacation. Dont put it off any longer, or you'll soon be panicking about those last minute flight reservations and chewed up travel brochures! You can actually find pretty good deals on airfare to Scandinavia, but you have to look early in the season!

We're here to help you plan a great adventure to Scandinavia! Just send us an email or pick up the phone and we'll help you put together a fantastic trip that will leave you with memories for a life time.

We wish you a wonderful 2006!

- Linda, Alex and the rest of the Svea Adventures Team

SWEDISH SOCIETY FOR NATURE CONSERVATION

We're proud to announce that Svea Adventures and its past customers have contributed $300 to the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation and their various projects. At the time of final payment, we ask our clients if they want to make an optional donation of $10 per person. Svea Adventures matches any donations that our clients give and all in all, it ended up being $300! A small contribution maybe, but we feel very strongly about giving back to the regions that we visit in every way possible. The projects that benefited from this past year's contributions were as follows:

- The White-tailed Sea Eagle - Eastern Sweden's Coastal Regions

- The White-backed Wood Pecker - Southern Sweden's Inland

- The Big Four Predators - Northern Sweden's Inland

Thank you to all of our past clients, who helped contribute to this great cause!

PICTURE OF THE MONTH!

This picture was taken by Linda on the August 15th Icelandic Wilderness Horseback Adventure, in 2005. It was early in the morning and the ponies seemed a bit tired from the long ride the day before! Or maybe this one was just complaining about the late breakfast? Or was he laughing at a funny joke?
