I lived in Oslo for a year. I miss Troika chocolate bars. The ice cream. The seafood stew. Visiting Drommen in the Summer. Visiting Nordfel in the spring. Norway is beautiful and the people friendly once they get to know you. Strangers don't do small talk. Ah nice memories.🤗

New to your channel. Very interesting as Norway has always appealed to me as a Brit looking to escape the rat race here. I would love to know some more about how you managed the move and stuff about living costs etc. I'm sure you have explained some of this in your other videos so will check these out now.

No way! I'm currently living in Bournemouth, and hope to move to Norway one day. I've never been, yet every time I watch videos about it, it feels like it's home, somehow. Got a cruise next year to see a few places, but might try and get myself over there a bit sooner.

There was a time, not very long ago, when most Norwegians aspired to have a "hytte" (cottage) out in the more non-settled areas, where you actually had to walk, ski or use a boat to get there. Today this has become sort of a big business, and many get that same "cottage" <laughs mockingly> in a planned area, with an access road, electricity and in-door water-supply for their toilets and kitchens... So, it's just a home-away-from-home, but in a different location, mostly.

You are spot on with the less consumerism. You have to plan a lot more what you need when. Impuls buying is not possible, for sure not when you live rural. And with all that living is cheaper then in UK or NL where I am from. Yes items are more expensive, but you buy less items...

Really great video, thank you :) The population difference blew my mind! That's a huge plus, in my opinion. Also, I can't stand the tap water here in the UK - so having cleaner and better-tasting water would be amazing.

Good list, I think the outdoor life style is important, not all enjoy it, if you prefer busy and crowded cities, not gonna enjoy Norway. The water yes, but also the air, so clean. Wrt green space, I read somewhere that Oslo had 74% green space, anyway it's a trait for all city and villages, very close to nature. Not much snow in Bergen, but elsewhere should learn to ski :)

Bergen is fantastic ❤the culture among the Atlantic coast from west to the north is totally different than in the east. In the east it’s much more secluded. In Bergen you can get in contact to everyone ❤️❤️❤️ - Norway is more expensive because the salary is higher

It sounds like a wealthier version of Ireland, the better quality of life, friendliness. I live in the UK. Although too much of an issue in Ireland is made out of historical problems, now Ireland is dependent on US multinationals. Whereas Norway has invested in itself and abroad. Although Irish cities have poverty, crime and social issues.
Do you speak Norwegian? Perhaps your work requires less proficiency and localisations than other professions such as mine, Financial Management.
