I would really recommend doing an organized hike like Fjällräven Classic. You have to do everything yourself and carry all your stuff, but there are checkpoints with volunteers, marshals that you can join to get a good pace, loads of friendly people and so on. You also get to refill your food at checkpoints, and they make sure people know where to find water.

I have done Fjällräven Classic in Sweden two times and Hong Kong once and love it.
