Everyone always seems to be very interested in how I survive in Norway. "Is it too cold in the winter? Is the food strange?"..
So here are some tips I gathered from my experience here so far.

I'm Brazilian living in Sweden and I already find alcohol extremely expensive here. To hear you say that people in Norway usually buy alcohol in Sweden because it's cheaper makes me wonder how freaking expensive everything is over there 😳
Vinícius Egidio abaut half price
Como faz pra não se apaixonar ai.
to vendo que é foda.
I was recently in Bergen, I’m from the UK, and I bought a beer in the hotel for £11.97, UK price is usually £4.00
Its really cheap in Sweden
Don't come to Norway is all I have to say. If you want to have any money left in your now gone pocket, 'cause you had to sell it for money, of course
This seems to be lots good advice to me. Can I add a couple: Eat D vitamins. As you say we do not get enough sunlight so we do not get enough the natural way.
Refleks is the other thing I will mention. It is dark and wet on Norway, and the roads are narrow. Clas Ohlson (or Ebay) sell small flashing light to put on your clothes. They are the best!
i hope to be there thank you so much for additional information
Very good points Kari! I also take some extra vitamins in the winter time. I have to get some of those lights too! :)
You forgot to mention the fact that it's required by law to use the "refleks", failure to do so at dark nights could run you an expensive ticket(if seen by the police). So it's not just a smart idea to use, it's mandatory.
Skn and you know it is the cheapest life insurance you ever get.
It's nothing worse than driving on small narrow roads on a rainy November evening and then suddenly see someone walking just five meters in front of you :/
No tips on surviving a polar bear attack? I'm disappointed.
Hahah I never had that experience so I don't have any tip yet ;) heheh
Keep your gun close by, and don't wander alone, bring friends. Once caught, you won't be able to shoot it👍
Robert Henriksen Thanks :-) I'll keep that in mind next time I go to Oslo :-)
👍
Don't worry, there are no polar bears in Norway - if someone might actually wonder about that. ;-)
Walking like a penguin is called waddling lol
There are limits on how much food or alcohol you can bring into Norway from other countries (even Sweden). So yeah, it's cheaper in Sweden (along the border mostly, not so much other places), but make sure you don't bring above the limit (calculated per person), in case you end up being stopped at the border.
Nice vid lady! Clear explenation. I was in Norway ones i loved it! Beatyfull country!
If you're eating lutefisk without pea stew, potatoes and bacon you're doing it wrong x'D
Hi, a Norwegian here. I think you were pretty spot on with your points and it was funny to hear you talk about it 😆
nice video! i liked the penguin part the best! lol it must be really cute to see every person on the street walking like a penguin
Good tip for winter time. Find a hobby or something you enjoy doing indoors. During winter it is dark and cold so unless you like skiing or other winter sports, i highly recomend finding a indoors hobby.
lol
i love the heavy warning against the evil licorice (lakris) here in Norway.
Thanks for the tips.
please give a video about salary of different proffesions
I know of engineers that earn $15.000 a month in the oil industry.
Anyway salaries can be very high, but it's an expensive country to live in.
Maybe you could take a video of a dark winter day? I can't imagine not having might light during the day and it being so dark, haha.
beer sale closes 2000 weekdays, 1800 on saturdays, closed sundays. Vinmonopolet(liquor stor) closes 1800 weekdays, and 1600 on saturdays.
im from norway and i am glad to live in norway
Yet the colours and even shapes in your profile photo are very similar to the Swedish flag ...
Não consigo imaginar o que é não ter luz!! O meu sonho é ir estudar para a Noruega mas adoro o sol e as praias e a boa disposição de Portugal! Faz me impressão a cena do personal space deles e o quanto não comunicam. Mas desde que fui a Noruega que sei que amava lá viver!!! Para não falar de: os noruegueses são as pessoas mais bonitas e elegantes que já vi!! E adoro ski/Caveman way of life
They sell light beer/ drinks/ soda w/ alcoholic in grocery stores and they’re closing the sales around 6-8pm depending on the day 😅
Until 8 pm Mon-Fri, until 6 pm Saturdays, nothing on Sundays. When does sale legally start in the morning? I don't care, I never get up that early.
By "light beer" you must mean beer between 2,5 and 4,7% alcohol by volume. Above that you must go to Vinmonopolet, which has even stricter sales hours. Below 2,5% - no restrictions. Don't get me started about alcohoI taxes and prices.
Adoro seus vídeos ! Sou brasileira e também moro na Noruega, adoro morar no país ;)
Obrigada! Fico feliz por gostar. Também estou a adorar estar cá! :)
i like what u said about candles :D make shure to stack up alot of them it makes it so cozy :D
Thanks!
Very charming and useful video!
Hello Mon Amie!! I have watched every videos of 'how to in Norway'. Can you make videos for 'How to find vegetarian food in Norway' because I think you have more idea about Norway. So is it difficult as being vegetarian and find veg food in Norway or not? Please make a video :) Lots of love from India.
Great tip!! I will do that :)
@Raghav Makwana
That's great idea, and it's good to know that planet Earth has one more vegeterian! 💚🍀🌻 can I ask you what is the reason for being vegeterian, and not vegan?
Norway lover
Fantastic
Thank you so so much for your channel and your tips! This is so import.
Mmm, Liquorice !
Oh I have to agree with the licorice bit. Don't eat it. Hahaha "Watch some penguin movies..." is just great advice. I laughed out loud.
After all these tips, warnings and difficulties
Why should i still thinking about moving to Norway??!!
I'm really looking for better life and opportunities, but i think the battle will be more tumultuous than i've expected, wont it?
ahmed said if you really want to you can do it! Good luck =)
What is your profile picture it’s annoying me i cant figure out what it is
@@nicodifictional540 as a norwegian with some knowledge of the norwegian immigration rules, i´m not so sure he can
I was an architectural student in London and I'm thinking of pursuing my graduate education at Oslo Academy of the Arts. I don't know if there is a tuition fee for international student.
Hi Cris! There is a small tuition fee yes, it's around 50€ per semester. :) At least for international students from inside Europe. Outside Europe I'm not really sure.
Cool! Apparently it's free for international student too. We just need to pay 600 kr per semester to the student organization welfare. Although as international student, I need to proof that I have 104, 000 DKr for one year which is a little expensive! I did my BA in design at Goldsmiths for free!
In the end, I go to University of Tartu in Estonia ;-)
I love Norwegian people!!
Oh my it actually makes me happy to see they have lakris in Norway / Scandinavia! I'm from the Netherlands and grew up with drop (= Dutch for lakris) as a sweet and was always sad to never find it in other countries! I actually specifically like the one in the picture haha ;) But if you've never had it in your life then yes, you'd probably find it weird
All my Norwegian friends love Lakris so so much! But I can't really... I think you are right, if you are used to eat it since you are little is different :P
I am a Norwegian and lived in the Netherlands. I bring lakris/dropjes to my dutch friends whenever I visit Netherlands. There are certain brands they like a lot like IFA.
Dutch people are just oddly similar to Norwegians. I don't get why, as the landscape, history, everything is so different. But somehow Norwegians and dutch people ended up having very similar mindset. I found myself explaining dutch people to other foreigners all the time while living there. Because all the stuff that dutch people did that they found really odd, made total sense to me as a Norwegian.
Povel Vieregg Haha I love that! I should try IFA if I find myself in Norway some day :) Where in the Netherlands did you live?
And I think you might be right about that! I sometimes find myself feeling a little uncomfortable when I'm in another country that has a different culture and I'm interacting with people from that country, I'm a little afraid I might do or say something which would be regarded as weird in that country, but when I was in Norway I felt comfortable in no time and I easily made friends, because the people were so like-minded in many ways. It's indeed curious, because the countries don't seem to have that much in common at first sight.
Yeah I think a common problem for Norwegians and Dutch when abroad is that other cultures sometimes think we are rude, because we tend to speak in a direct or blunt way.
One of the theories I've heard for Norwegian and Dutch being similar is because we are both maritime nations. Ships and trade has always played an important part in our societies. Huge numbers of Norwegians e.g. worked on Dutch Merchant ships and emigrated to the Netherlands in the 1700-1800s. Many Norwegian words related to ships are dutch in origin. E.g. a war ship in Norwegian is "Orlogs skip", but the Norwegian word for war is "krig", so until I came to the Netherlands I never understood what this odd word "Orlog" came from ;-)
Many place names on the coast where I grew up are named after the dutch. Stuff like "the dutch path", "the dutch bay" etc. It was related to the areas where dutch ships came to pick up timber from Norway.
And both countries fostered a emphasis on cooperation due to geography. Like in the Netherlands you got the polder model right, because everybody in the polder had to cooperate to avoid flooding. In Norway the mountains, fjords and forests divided the country so much that it was very hard for central government to enforce its power. Thus cooperation between people became important, because there was no central government to effectively settle disputes.
Povel Vieregg Oh wow I didn't know that! I know that in Rotterdam we have a church called ''Noorse Zeemanskerk / Sjømannskirken'', and in Antwerp there is such a church as well (which is now Belgium but it used to be a Dutch city until the mid 19th century) with a small Norwegian community that owns that church. And obviously Rotterdam and Antwerp are big ports in Europe. I also know that Norway and the Netherlands are two of the few places in Europe where you can do maritime studies such as maritime law.
And the theory about local cooperation due to geographical issues makes a lot of sense too, I never thought about that.
In the Netherlands we also have a place called Bergen. Ok, it's a tiny insignificant village, not a big important Hanseatic town like the Norwegian Bergen, but still ;)
I used to not understand where the notion that the Dutch / Norwegians are so direct came from, until I got a friend from Finland. She's a lovely person, but she often twists and turns her words in such a way to sound the least ''offending'' and to not directly pinpoint what she is talking about. An example:
Friend: This one woman I know, likes wine a lot.
Me: Oh. Well, my mom likes wine a lot as well.
Friend: Yeah, but this woman likes it a lot.
Me: Oh, so she's an alcoholic?
Friend: *looks at me in utter shock* um.. well.. yeah.. um.. I mean..
And that's when I realised that's what they might mean with ''The Dutch are so direct!'' :'D
You are right about the price of alcohol, If you want to buy English beer in Norway Then the price is nearly ten times what we pay in England. Spirits in Norway are about 4 times the price of ours
Question. Between 45 and 50 thousand Euros is the equivalent of about 50 to 62 thousand AMERICAN dollars. My question is, are you talking about it being quite a lot of money for people with menial jobs like restaurant work or baristas or are you talking about professional jobs like for doctors ? Because if the latter is the case then , NO darling. this yearly income is unbelievably low when doctors command a yearly salary of about four times that amount in the States. Please clarify the type of jobs you are referring to.
Hi, I'm talking about an average salary of a norwegian citizen. There will be people earning less, and people earning more.
good one !!
Haha walk like an pinguin 😂😂😂 you made my day 😂😂😂😂😂😂😍
Just eat. I live in Norway. All you has to do is eating and drinking. So far so good
I have visited the website but cannot find the free ebook.
Learn to say goodbye? as if Norwegian people say goodbyes :D No need to learn to say goodbye guys. trust me :D
Argin ARGIN
Hmm... not saying goodbye is an American thing (after phone calls, etc). Norwegians always say good bye, in my experience.
Ha det på badet din gamle
Sjokolade
They just leave, lol.
I am Norwegian, and I ALWAYS say goodbye, whether it is to friends, colleagues or strangers that I have been chatting with on the street..so, I guess your theory doesn`t quite fit. In fact, I know NOONE who doesn`t say goodbye, at least not when they are together with me.
Do you need Visa to go to Sweden from Norway?
Hi! No, I don't need because I am Portuguese, so I can move around without visa inside of Europe :)
No.
If you have a EØS visa you dont need any extra papers to travel to Sweden and the other EØS countries
depends on your nationality
New subscriber:) thank you for wonderful tips on living in Norway. I would love to hear more about life in Norway as a registered/medical nurse. What are their hours, salary, visa requirements, how easy is it to find this type of job. Thank you, Mon Amie.
Alcohol is expensive, yes... But it's not inexpensive to rent a car either :) Furthermore you cannot bring back very large quantities of alcohol to Norway... So... I doubt you save much, if anything, by going to Sweden - unless you by chance are in Sweden for other reasons (And Vinmonopolet closes at 3pm on Saturdays) ;)
Hey I would like to know if I can find a job in a restaurant as a cooker (or helper) if I don't speak Norwegian. Thanks
martin saihueque - It should be possible, but it can be hard to find a job. If you want a job, I would recommend to go to either the capital, Oslo, or another large city as for example Bergen. You could also go to the cities with a lot of tourists, for example Tromsø.
Thanks for the tip! Btw can you do more vlog like having vacation on Oslo landmarks or something like those :D
Sure! I will keep that in mind in the future ;) Thanks for the suggestion!
Why can't I find the lackes you are talking about? I feel like the spelling is not right ... but I am really curious about that ....
Lakris! :) You can find them in any supermarket or sweets store in Norway.
ok..if u come from, Portugal and makes 900 euros a month..everything is expensive. avg. salary in Norway is prox 5 times that. its expensive in our country...but hey!
how can i move to norway with work visa or getting job in norway
I am from Germany and very used to the taste of liquorice, so it's not only a Scandinavian thing. ;)
shindereen Ahh ein weiterer Deutscher, der nach Norge auswandern möchte :)
Lutefisk is Norwegian and I really like it haha😂
i Love how you say Lakritsch =P
best way to survive norway winter is to scape it back to homeland!😛
Haha true!
You should eat so much LAKRIS as you can! It will make your teeth black for a while, but tastes heavenly good!
Not talked in this video, but of the 'surviving' this thought came to my mind... Are there any mosquitoes in south Norway? :)

Alkohol is much cheaper in Denmark compared to Norway and Sweden. And if you smoke. You better take a carton of cigarettes with you. The price for ciggarettes are ridicoulus
I live in norway.
Oi gostei da dicas. Sou brasileiro e queria fazer uma pergunta, se for possível responder. Se eu for praí estudar, eu posso levar minha esposa e filha junto ou o visto vale só pro estudante?
Olá Vander! É uma optima pergunta mas infelizmente não sei nada sobre esse assunto :/ A única coisa que sei que possa ajudar é um curso online sobre tudo o que é preciso saber antes de ir para a Noruega. norwaymovingguide.teachable.com/p/step-by-step
Pode tentar contactar este site e talvez eles possam ajudar ;) Boa sorte!
Podias fazer um vídeo a falar em Norueguês ;) Abraços de Portugal :D
Olá João! Isso seria super complicado para mim, mas posso sempre tentar hahaha Beijinhos :)
love your video!!! hei
veldig bra god jobb ^^
Takk!
Olá Mónica! Fellow portuguese right here eheh I'm thinking about studying abroad in Norway but I'm worried about not making friends there. What do you think that are some subjects that Norwegian like or it would be great conversation starters?
Obrigada e beijinhos :)
Olá Filipa! :) Humm.. I'm not sure, it depends of the person. But Norwegians are educated people.. they like to know what is happening in the world. Snow sports, nature and handcrafts are also good topics I guess :P Beijinhos!
It’s not that hard to get friends. You just have to be the one to start talking. Then it is easy 😀
How to apply in work visa in foom nepal any idea
I live in Norway! But I come from an Oder land
Great video. do you know norwegian and if so, how long did it take, for you, to learn it ? ...and did you get norwegian passport? :)
Hi! I know a bit of Norwegian yes. I'm still learning though. I think it depends on you. If you are really dedicated and motivated to learn norwegian you will do it in no time :) I dont have a norwegian passport and I dont need one since I am from Europe :)
I understand. "norwegian passports " I meant "norwegian papers for staying " xd... but I will watch more of your "Norway videos"...so I will see. Do you want to stay in Norway? ...because I just moved... but not sure if will I stay or not ..it depends of Norway ,if they decided so .. xD
I am from Europe so I just needed to prove I have a job, and a adress, and register in the police, etc.. and now I have my Norwegian number and documents yes :) I will definitely want to stay in Norway. Dont know if I want to stay forever but for a long time yes! :)
Ahaaaam...I am from Europe ,too. ..and I need all of this things...but since I am 18 old girl... i moved here to my mother`s hausband house xd ...so it is complicated . I really wish..when I get number..that I will start learning norw. because..now it is too late for this year to apply to Uni...but I can't work since I don't speak language. :(
and btw ,thank you for replying !!!
how much do you speak norwegian?
Haha not offensive, don't worry :D
Thought the walking on ice thing was pretty wierd though, it's not that difficult? I might be biased on this though. ..
it depends on how slippery the ice is, but also how clumsy you are.. I have sixteen years of experience but I tend to lose balance a lot haha
I have seen Norwegians walk on ice like it's nothing.. and then I do it and well.. let's just say I'm not very good at it xD
Yeah it probably gets easier with experience :)
The trick is you got to have a large surface of your foot on the surface at all times. Don't walk in a manner where only small sections of your feet are touching the ice. Also if it is really slippery, I just kind of skate with my shoes.
Anyway there are Norwegians who for some reason never figured out how to walk on ice, like my brother ;-) He does actually walk like a peguin hahaha.
Eu amei muito a dica sobre as plantas!!! ❤️😍
I want to come and live in Norway hope is a nice place,is there work opportunities there
it goes:
- learn norwegian for several years until you know the language well - B2 level
- apply for a job
- IF you get a job
- get a work permit
- move to norway.
not move to norway first without a job. if you do, they will stop you at the pass control at the airport, and return you with the first flight
@@themetricsystem7967 so that means you are deported.
and about language - can person learn language while it lives there, or it's necessary to know it before coming?
I assume it depends of a job. Correct me if I'm wrong.
@@angel_inanna depending on your nationality. different rules for different nationalities. scandi people, nordic people, eu-countries, and the rest of the world. it´s a high cost country, so living here as a foreigner without a job is difficult/impossible/illegal unless you can support yourself economically while applying for a job. as far as i know, norwegian authorities will require documentation from you, where you have to prove you will not be an economic burden to the norwegian state.
www.skatteetaten.no/en/person/foreign/you-must-notify-us-when-you-move/moving-to-norway/
@@angel_inanna yes, it depends on the job
You remind me so much of Zoella! 😯
I am disappointed because you didn't share any tip how to impress a girl in Norway 🤨🤨🤨
how much is the course?
Thumbs up
lovely video I want to come in Norway for study and can I do part time job here please
To survive in Norway! To tip is wool as your inner clothing:~)

My Dream to move Norway/Canada

They stop selling alcohol drinks after 20:00 Saturday after 18:00 ;)
Look at me now... I'm everywhere x)
Hi alien .. Im from earth 😀👋🏻
Save up first,,,, it's so expensive!
Planeio mudar me para a Noruega, mas este pormenor do gelo fez me rir imenso. Azelha como sou estarei no chão muitas vezes. 🤣
You should've told me not to buy lutefisk way sooner :D I really didn't like it
I was too late?! hahah Sorry xD
Lutefisk is cod soaked in lie, and it’s a little bit disgusting...
The language is no problem as 99% of norwegians can speak english we learn that from the school from age 5 year old so it is not any problem,
Too busy looking into those beautiful eyes to concentrate on all the great information :D
In summertime u CAN WALK ON ICE FROM Oslo to Copenhagen
am norwegian, God dag
god kveld
❤️😄
Monday to Friday 20kl
Jeg liker lutefisk but you must cook it correctly🐟
I had many people telling me that! I believe that can be true... I just know I tried it in a restaurant and it was SO strange xD
Recipe for good lutefisk..
Lutefisk, offcourse :-)
The bacon in small pieces.
Potatoes, CUT some onion.
And a nice fish sauce of your preffered taste.
And last but most importantly!!!
Throw away the lutefisk. :-) thats the key to a good meal. 😎
Robert Henriksen ahahah
És portuguesa?
Sou sim! :)
Eu e o meu namorados vamos viver para a noruega em fevereiro. Aliás ele já tem uma ligação com empresa norueguesa. Alguma dica para apreender noruegues?? Tenho visto séries lido livros mas mesmo assim e complicado
You have not been in the mountains in a tent!
Latin-Americans dont like lakris. (Anise like flavour)
Tbh i guess we learn how to dress in the winter from reindeer. A layer close to ur body and air between than a jacket or whatever like reindeer.
