So I'm from the US and I want to see Europe for like 6 or so months

Scandinavia is less of a experience I think for many Americans than many other parts of Europe, simply because it is relatively similar (compared to i.e. southern Europe). And Scandinavians are more "boring" than most other nationalities. But if you like nature, I have been around much of Europe and I am yet to see something prettier than the most beautiful areas on the Norwegian coast.
