About me:

My name is Eivind, I am a thirty six year old Norwegian guy living in Oslo, Norway. I am quite new to the YouTuber travel vlog sphere, but hope that you find my videos cool, and as time pass by I hope you see my content getting better and better. My goal is trying to enlighten and brighten your day by giving you interesting videos about traveling, meeting people and eating food from all different kinds of cuisines. Another thing that I want is to break down barriers of travel and prejudices of foreign countries and cultures. My opinion is that most people and cultures are friendly, but unfortunately sometimes media gives a biased view.



Usually my travels goes to places that are a bit out of the beaten track, like smaller cities or just less known cities, where I explore the neighborhoods or head into the nature. If possible, I`ll bring my drone also, but this has become more difficult in recent years due to strict regulations. I will also try to make some videos about my home country Norway, one of the most beautiful countries in the world.


On my travels I like to connect with the local people. Usually I do this via Couchsurfing, either just by meeting up with people to explore together or by actually staying at their place. I also wander aimlessly around in places talking to random people.
I do host a lot of people in my place in Oslo, maybe someday it will be you.

One of my biggest passion in life is food. And when cooking and eating together with nice people it`s the best. I make some videos together with some of my guests, these are really fun to make and I also learn to make new dishes. Maybe you can come cook with me?

Another thing I try to is enlighten people about the environment, especially the plastic problem we have all over the world. In almost every country I go to there is garbage all over. I film it and put it in some videos here and there. As a tip for you, try to pick up one piece of plastic everyday, and of course, never throw any in the first place.

very true, been there jan 2020. First get a local number, get uber, know what terminal you landed, study where the uber cabs stand for that terminal and get there, despite scammers says uber doesn't come there. When you get there (for cairo terminal 3, its car park lot near board sign B6), there will be lot of people waiting for cab and scammers too, calling you that he is your uber ride, dont belive. Check your uber app for car plate number, ask his name and see if it matches in your uber app booking, when you get to your destination, wait for driver to end the journey (few seconds later), you can see the taxi fare, pay the amount and get out. For pyramid, if u r going by cab, when you reach the premises of giza, many individuals will approach the car, do not ask the driver to stop, ask him to keep going until you enter the pyramid gate and see the ticketing office or WC near it. Get down, get your tickets and go straight inside after the security clearance. After that, DO NOT stop or listen to anyone pretending to be police, or security officials, dont answer to whistles, dont give your tickets to anyone, dont try to horse or camel- they will rip you off, dont speak or answer to anyone. just enjoy the pyramid and head out straight. if you think to be polite and stand and answering questions, you will be ripped off. Of course a lot of kind egyptian citizens helped me during my travel. Just use your common sense. Check my channel for advise for hotels from my experience.

Never go with anybody to shop. These people get commission from shops. So the higher they charge you, the more money they get. You overpaid for those pants.

The guy in the red shirt isn’t helping. He gets a cut off the price you pay. I try to avoid anyone taking me shopping

Something similar happend to me in morrocco, everyone were giving me bad prices, and they were being very agressive, so i just ended up not buying anything at all in those markets. It also made me never want to go back to morrocco

I found this seller in Cairo as well and he followed us for like 10 minutes insisting to drop by at his shop. Although we made clear that we were not interested, he just kept following us and screaming around and calling us very disrespectful names...

This was definitely entertaining. Honestly I would have given the guy 550 once he agreed to 500 just because he was so funny.

I'm from Egypt
200 you reached for the piece is a normal price
Depending on the material the price could be little bit bad or good price. So it's a good deal

I like how you gave this scammer hard time, I'm Egyptian and I never did that, buying anything in Egypt is pain in the ass in so many occasions.
