My trip started in London, where we flew early to Poland, explored the city for the day and stayed overnight. The next morning we flew from Poland to Denmark, and repeated this process across Italy, Austria and Sweden before flying home.

I planned the whole route in advance using Skyscanner’s “Everywhere” option — starting with “London → Everywhere” to find the cheapest country, then searching “Poland → Everywhere” for the next day, and so on. By chaining the cheapest flights together, I was able to plan a fast, affordable multi-country trip without spending much.
