Greatings from Scandinavia, this is what we do during winter:
I actually live in the countryside along one of these roads. Imagine a still winter night—cold, dark, and silent—when suddenly, you hear one of these comes roaring through the forest, the driver having the time of his life!
Man I need to visit Scandinavia soon, I've always wanted to see the northern lights and the Norwegian fjords.

I'd say go for the fjords during late spring. The fjords are much more impressive in IRL. Instagram photos of northern light are usually overexposed, the light isn't that strong. You also need to be lucky with solar activity and travel to a place without lightpolution.

Yeah, I wanted to do Iceland for the lights, I was out of the country when the UK got them 🤦. But the fjords are a bucket list item for me. My wife and I love hiking and we want to hike some of them.
Plus music wise, Scandinavia has some of the best bands. Nightwish, Epica, Sonata Arctica, Delain, the list goes on. Children of Bodom (RIP Alexi 🫡)

If you're into fjords and metal you should look up one of the many branches of Scandinavian metal; sognametal, named after the biggest fjord Sognefjorden. Bands like Windir and Vreid.
If you like hiking you should definitely try skiing especially when there is full moon. It's an truelly unique experience.

I've only tried to ski once and I didn't manage to stay upright at all 🤣🤣 I'll definitely give those bands a go.
