    OMG did I enjoy that! Last week I told you that Norway is my favorite country so far from all the countries I have visited. Of course I haven't been to as many places as you have but I can see it had the same effect on you. It's breathtakingly beautiful; the fjords, the waterfalls, the 360 degrees stunning views; it's just magical wherever you look. Can't wait for your next vlog! Thanks guys❤

    Van life in Norway sounds like an incredible adventure, especially on the way to the Arctic Circle! 🚐 I’ve been to Norway myself in a camper, and I absolutely loved it. It’s such a beautiful country. The landscapes is so amazing, and it’s great to hear your first impressions. Looking forward to following along on this journey. Thanks for sharing!

    Norway - how spectacular - it has been on ny bucket list for a long time. A couple of years back I did a DNA-test with a company called 'Living-DNA', whose aim it is to prove that all people are related to one another, a big human family if you may, and that therefore racism and war don't make sense. I quite liked that philosophy and went with them. The DNA-test showed that some of my ancestors were Notwegian Vikings. Since finding out about that I have always wanted to go to Norway. Also the mountains and Fjordes make quite a change to the tranquil forrest and lakes of Sweeden which were absolutely beautiful and are defenitely worth visiting, but are also a bit same-y, if there is a word like that. I am really excited what's to come next in your adventure.

    Norway is a campers paradise. Right to roam coupled with the most stunning nature.
    I'll be back in September, as i usually travel in the shoulder seasons to avoid the worst of the crowds.
    Fuel funnily enough gets cheaper the further you get away from civilisation in Norway (but it still swings a lot)
    Sometimes the price difference is 6 NOK between two villages. I haven't really figured out the logic yet..
    Western Norway (the fjordlands) is the most beautiful place on Earth.

    • @TravelTalesVlogs
      @TravelTalesVlogs  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      How are the crowds up there currently? Doesn't seem too bad from your videos.
      I usually use Park4Night to find good camp spots, but it seems like so does everyone else, so a lot of the good spots are pretty full by the evening.

    • @jonnor6883
      @jonnor6883 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      the fuel prices can change a lot due to competition between different providers. You find this locally and it can be a huge difference, even for a short ride. So there are no logic to it.
      15-20 years ago would you always find cheapest prices monday morning, but this have now changed

    wow! You are doing a really good job filming and bringing the content for the viewer. But if the dronevideoes of Oslo is yours, you were lucky not to get arrested. Oslo city center is a "No fly zone" and you can get arrested for it. Just saying. Hope your hard drive will be fixed. Much love from Oslo.

    Save money also while you are in Norway. You drink tap water and do not buy water in Norway. tap water is better than bottled water and this applies throughout the country if it is not clearly marked that it is not drinking- water. Fill up water at petrol stations or campsites - completely free. The same at restaurants and eateries - ask for tap water - not from bottles. Bottle water costs as much as Coca Cola

    I would like to point out that Norway has strict laws on use of drones. Highly recommend you should inform yourself about the regulations ....which are all available on net. For example 4:08: Flying drone over the city is illegal. Tourists has been arrested, drone confiscated and heavily fined.

    • @TravelTalesVlogs
      @TravelTalesVlogs  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for your comment, yeah of course most countries have similar laws too. But for drone shots like the one you mentioned you need to look into it more because it's outside the restriction zone and even within is definitely also possible by applying beforehand

    The great irony of Norway having expensive gas is that it is rich because of....oil. They collect all the profits from oil exports into a gigantic state oil fund that if divided up per citizen would make every single one a multi-millionaire.
    I believe the oil fund owns like 1.4% of all the worlds public companies. It's pretty insane.

Regarding the fuel and lpg we also realised that it is not as expensive in the towns, so in fact we just filled up at the wrong station I think in the middle of nowhere 😵 lucky it wasn't a full tank.
