This might be a dumb question, but I’m trying to come up with a ballpark budget number for a trip to Europe. One stop would probably be Sweden, which I hear is super expensive, but one of the kids will be there next spring for study abroad.

My hubby is gung-ho on the idea of going, but money’s tight & I’m trying to make a rough estimate to see if it is even possible to think about it, and have an idea how much we’d need to set as a savings goal.

Just wondered if there are any calculators or resources that might offer budgeting advice? Or maybe the only way is to develop an itinerary and price it all out?
Any advice, experienced travelers?
