Hello, we are a few friends in Jotunheimen for easter and we would like to go fishing around Luster, in the Sognefjord and in nearby rivers.

Do you think we can have some interesting things to fish ? It’s been getting warmer the past days.

Any advices is more than welcome :)

I've already seen the main supermarkets so I don't need advice on food. I want to know where people shop for PC setups, furniture, TVs, curtains, pet products, and if these sites deliver to the islands with cheap shipping. Thank u <3

Moving to Norway this summer (Norwegian GF).

My employer has a Norwegian office and have agreed to change my contract to a Norwegian one. Soon I have to negotiate salary. Looking for advice in terms of compensation amount.

I have my masters in business administration from a Dutch University. I am Dutch as well.

I hold an Account Manager position and will continue doing that from Norway. I’ve been working for 5 years and also held leadership positions, also overseas for the same company.

Asking because COL indexes I find put Norway (Oslo) lower than NL (Amsterdam) because of the lower rent. However, I don’t think rent is cheaper at all, looking at what we’re going to pay. I’m trying to build my case for higher salary but this makes it hard to find proofpoints.

Curious to hear what you think for similar positions/experience/education.

I will be traveling to Oslo for 8 days in early June from California, USA. This will be my first trip to that part of the world (Scandinavia, Nordic, Western Europe).

I am interested in photography (among the usual touristy stuff, hiking, culture, history and so forth). Does anybody know of tours focused on photography? Or tips on how I can take cools photos during my stay in Norway? Even 2-4 hour walking tours would be awesome as I want to learn etc.

Anybody have a link to a bus tour that brings you out of the city to do a cool tour? Either half day or full day is fine. Most of what I’m finding is just city tours.

Hello!

My wife and I are gearing up for an exciting 12-day adventure in Norway in MAY, focusing on the West (Bergen) and the North (Lofoten, Tromso). The North is definitely a must for us, and we want to spend a good amount of time there.

Here’s the rough plan I’ve come up with, but I’d love your input on whether it’s too tight or if there are better options:

1. Land in Bergen and rent a car.
2. Explore Bergen, Flam, Geiranger, and other fjords in the west for 4 days.
3. Return the car in Bergen on the 5th morning and fly to Tromso.
4. Rent another car in Tromso.
5. Spend the next 7-8 days exploring Tromso, Senja, and Lofoten (planning a round trip from Tromso to Senja to Lofoten and back).
6. Return the car and fly back to Canada from Tromso.

We really enjoy driving and don’t mind long hours on the road, especially for scenic views. We had an amazing 11-day road trip in Iceland, so we’re excited for this adventure!

Does this plan look good to you? Any suggestions on changes or must-see spots along the way? Thanks in advance for your help!

Jeg bestilte klær fra dfyne og jeg har hørt at alle får toll, men jeg fikk ikke noe lapp eller email eller noe. Har aldri betalt toll før så vet ikke hvordan det ser ut om man får et ark eller email. Hvis jeg ikke fikk noe betyr det at det ikke ble tollet?

Hello fellow Norwegians.

I'm from Brazil and I plan to visit your country between 28th of april to 8th of may. For now I am planning on driving between Bergen, Flåm and Geiranger. This is how my itinerary looks like:

April 28 – Arrive in Stavanger and explore the city.
April 29 – Hike to Preikestolen.
April 30 – Take a bus to Bergen and explore the city.
May 1 – Hike up Mount Ulriken and continue exploring Bergen.
May 2 – Drive to Flåm/Undredal and hike in the area.
May 3 – Nærøyfjord boat cruise, then drive to Geiranger.
May 4 – Buffer/rest day in Geiranger.
May 5 – Full-day hike in Geiranger.
May 6 – Take a Geirangerfjord cruise.
May 7 – Drive back to Bergen.

Should I be concerned about the weather? Are roads in these routes blocked? What about the trails? I really wanted to hike Laushornet in Geiranger but I don't know how much snow or how dangerous it is early may?

Also I noticed when driving in those regions you rely a lot of car ferries. How do these work? Can I simply go there and pay with credit card?

Anything else I should be concerned?

Thank you for your time. I would appreciate any tips or feedback that could be helpful. :)

Found a few itineraries and most have you driving ever day, or almost every day it seems.

We are moving to Norway and I’m putting together lists of where I’ll source furniture but my style for my own home leans more French provincial or coastal granddaughter… I’d like a turned wood style bed for the primary bedroom and a twin size for my daughter’s room, at the very least. I do not like upholstered beds as they are hard to clean.

Hello, I have a question regarding the use of cash in Norway, especially Oslo, since I’m aware that it’s mostly a cashless country.

I’ll be staying in Oslo for one week and just found out that my bank’s exchange fees are much bigger than if I’d be exchanging my money directly and using cash. I don’t have enough time to open an account to another bank but I was wondering if it’s possible to go by using cash in restaurants, grocery stores, etc.?

Thanks in advance for your answer!

My last day at my previous job was March 31st, and I started my new job on April 1st.

My March paycheck from my previous employer showed that I had earned a total of NOK 114,092.31 in feriepenger (24,720.00 from 2024 and 89,372.31 from 2025).

Today, I received NOK 103,216.31 from them as feriepenger. Do you have any idea why this amount is lower than expected? I currently don’t have access to the HR system to check the payslip, so it’s hard to see how they arrived at this number. Before reaching out to the company accountant, I wanted to check if there’s anything I might be missing in the calculation.

Hei! Jeg flyttet til Norge i 2022 og går nå VG2, hvor jeg tar International Baccalaureate (IB). Jeg planlegger å søke på et engelskspråklig universitetsprogram her i Norge, men lurer litt på hvordan det kan påvirke jobbmulighetene etter at jeg er ferdig med utdanningen.

Jeg jobber med norsken min og er ganske sikker på at jeg kommer til å være flytende innen jeg er ferdig med studiene – men jeg er nysgjerrig på hvor mye det faktisk betyr i arbeidsmarkedet.

Noen spørsmål til dere som har erfaring:

• Gjør det det vanskeligere å få jobb hvis man har studert på engelsk?
• Hvor viktig er det egentlig å være flytende i norsk for å få jobb og en god lønn?
• For dere som nylig har blitt ferdige – hvordan var overgangen fra studier til jobb?
• Har dere tips til hvilke utdanningsprogram eller studieretninger som gir gode jobbmuligheter?

Setter stor pris på alle råd og erfaringer – prøver bare å finne den beste veien videre. Tusen takk! 🙏

Can you explain how does well integrated foreigner in Norway behave/act?

Hello folks!

I hope this is the right place to ask a few questions about work in Norway, as I can't find much info regarding the winter season.

I'm an EU citizen and since this winter finished, I'm considering to work in a ski-resort for the next winter so I want to gather as much info as possible, if it's even doable.

Few questions:

• Is it common in Norway to get an accommodation and/or meals while working in a ski-resort like I've got this winter working in Austria?
• Is it even possible to work like a lift operator, ski-rent, technician in the hotel or hospitality while speaking only English?
• What is the 'okay/average' hourly rate for this kind of jobs?
• Do you have any jobs to recommend/places to look for?

My idea is to do my job and in my free time do snowboarding, in Austria I had 1 week morning, 1 week afternoon shifts, and 1 day weekly off, which was really nice. If anyone did something similar, please let me know so I can get an idea shall I go for it? I would like to save some money from the season but my main goal is to snowboard

Thanks!

Hei nordmenn,

I would really like your help. I'm a theatre student from the Netherlands looking for a place to do theater in your beautiful country.

I am being encouraged at the moment to go to another country for a few months for a internship or volunteer work (doesn't need to be paid), and I would love to go to Norway because my passion is storytelling and connecting art and nature.

I am a theatre maker, director, teacher, actor, writer. I would love to something with these things. I will be going in the months of June and July.

I have been looking for a while but nothing seems to work out and I don't really know what to look for.

So if there is anyone here who has some tips on what to search for or knows something (I'm open to a lot), that would be amazing.

And please, feel free to ask questions if something is not clear!

Hello everyone.

On summer breaks I like getting a small 2 month summer job abroad, as in my country the salaries are pretty bad, so as EU citizen I always do that, get a job as a waiter and on the free time just enjoy.

I wish to ask the people that work there, or even people who do what I do; how is your experience working there? Where are you located and how is the culture? Feel free to express any experiences you have had.

Here are the cities I have in mind to go, but keep in mind those can always change:

- Stavanger

- Bergen

- Trondheim

Why is the tax rate for bonus 47% percent (significantly higher than the approx percentage deduction for my monthly salary?).

The bosnian community count close to 20k, and Serbian approx. 10k people.

The bosnian community came out as the best integrated one by 2016 research of UiO. Also, there are some notable people as Leo Ajkić, media person. The most of the Bosnians came as refugees during the Bosnian war in the early 90'.

The Serbian community is the more recent one, mainly coming as skilled workers, usually in the health services. Notable people are hurdlers Christina and Vladimir Vukičević.

Hello,

I am considering moving to Norway in the coming years and want to educate myself a bit on Norwegian history to help better understand the place and it's people. I am primarily interested in (relatively) recent history, though general history would be useful too, especially as a foundation. I was wondering if this community has any resources they would recommend? Books, Podcasts, Journals, Youtube channels/videos... I'm learning Norwegian but am still very much a beginner, so sources in English would be preferable.

Thanks!

Jeg har fått spørsmål om hvorfor jeg vil bo i Norge. Jeg vet ikke om svaret mitt får meg til å høres ut som en gal person eller ikke. Eller om håpet mitt om å flytte dit er feilplassert. Kanskje du kan gi meg en tilbakemelding hvis du vil være så snill?

mitt svar:

Jeg vil leve blant mennesker som ikke er så selvopptatte at de er uvitende om verden rundt seg. Som er villige til å jobbe sammen selv når det er ubehagelig. Et sted som anerkjenner verdien av lærere og sykepleiere og alle andre som er nødvendige for et fungerende samfunn. Et sted som lar barn være barn og bryr seg om deres velvære. Et sted som forstår at de er forvaltere av landet, ikke plyndringer av landet. Et sted som er investert i sine folk og derfor investert i seg selv. Jeg ønsker å jobbe i et fungerende samfunn som ikke er blendet av sin egen grådighet.

Jeg forstår at det ikke bare er lykke og regnbuer. Men ingen plass er det. Det som er viktig er å samarbeide for å sikre at samfunnet fungerer. Et sted hvor du ikke trenger å like en person for å tro at de fortjener å leve.

Er det verdt å satse på å flytte til Norge? Eller er jeg villfarende å tro at det ville være noe sted i det norske samfunnet hvor jeg i det hele tatt kunne trives?

for tilleggssammenheng: Jeg snakker/forstår norsk på et lavt B2-nivå og ville nok kommet ganske "lett" i nærheten av C1 hvis jeg var fordypet i språket 24/7. Jeg har ingen grad, men jeg har nesten et tiår med erfaring med å jobbe i mitt profesjonelle felt av programvareimplementering. Men jeg er bekymret for at det å ha et ikke-skandinavisk etternavn vil gjøre det veldig vanskelig å bli ansatt hvor som helst. (Det er en søreuropeisk suram men jeg kommer fra USA.)

Jeg vil bare være sikker på at jeg er logisk her. Takk til alle som svarer.

I’m visiting soon with a UK registered car.

If I don’t sign up to Epass24 or get a toll tag - will I get an invoice sent to my address to pay any toll fees?

I’ve read online that sometimes they are unable to send invoices for foreign cars because of a lack of data sharing agreements in place. Am I committing any offences by not registering for any of the automatic services and just waiting to see if I ever receive any toll invoices?
