Though 1981 has barely arrived, we’re already deep into organizing MOTHER EARTH NEWS’ 1982 tours. And you should be thinking ahead too, because now’s the time to begin planning to join one of the following adventurous educational vacations: excursions that will visit some of the planet’s most beautiful and exotic areas.

Scandinavian Crafts

If, for instance, you’d like to get acquainted with top craftspeople in Finland and Denmark … experience life in the Danish isles … stay in snug, country inns … visit Hans Christian Andersen’s birthplace and Hamlet’s old homestead, Elsinore … bicycle through storybook villages … and find inspiration in craft galleries and museums, we can offer you all this (and more!) on MOTHER EARTH NEWS’ Scandinavian Crafts Tour that’ll run from May 5 to 22, 1981.

The trip — which has been over a year in the planning — is under the direction of Don Willcox, who’s made Scandinavia his home for almost a decade and has written 14 books on that region’s crafts. The tour will cost $1,850 (a $100 deposit will hold a place), and the fee includes round-trip airfare from New York, land costs, daily breakfasts, and some lunches and dinners.
