This is a very intersting video. It will be nice to see where your journey takes you. Clearly you're intelligent, and you got a strong backbone, or "bein i nesa" as we say in Norwegian. And you're charismatic. I wish you all the best!
Thank you so much for the comment! I think we each struggle with our own things and we are different. Even though it’s easy for others to judge and assume, I share my struggles because I know some will relate. Plus, it’s fun to be on the internet!
Ur too ideal - must be FSB or GRU?

I've had the same feeling and experience moving and living in the Netherlands as a moroccan girl, all alone. After almost 2 years i couldnt take it anymore and came back to my country, but the overall experience changed me in such a deep and positive way, i'm pretty glad that i did it, and next time, maybe i'll do it it again, but without making the same mistakes. Very happy to see another fellow woman speaking about these kind of experiences ❤

Just remember that Paris is France, but Oslo is not Norway, when speaking about norwegian climate, weather or norwegians.
@@Aiziee You make a good point, thank you. In my previous video about life in Norway and life in Oslo I talked about that people are different in Oslo than other places.
Great video; great story telling; kept the visuals busy with the city tour. To keep audience engaged. This video is clever. I am publishing a video this week including the reintroducing yourself to the work market and seems it's a very valid point in the Norwegian market. Let's have a collaborative video where we talk about this . Since getting a job is every new person's nightmare.. what you say :)
@@NordicNonsens Thank you very much for the compliment ! And even though I appreciate your offer of collaboration, unfortunately I have many projects ahead and a full time job, so I do not have the time I like to make videos at the moment. Maybe some day in the future! I also only make videos that I feel creatively inspired to make about me , rather than informational. But thank you for your offer and I wish you lots of success with your channel, I know the hard work one needs to put into making videos!
Hi Cristina. Just wanted to share something about Ålesund and Sukkertoppen, while rehabing in 2017 in Ålesund we were offered mountaintrips every day, ranging from easy like Sukkertoppen to advanced like Romsdalseggen(10hrs++) or Blåskjerdingen. We did Sukkertoppen when we were having a bad day or just didnt habe energy. On the way up about half way there is a three with about 50 marks on it from me marking it on the way down. Hit me up if you want any more hiking tips im Norway, been all over the country by now with the kids 😊 good video!
Thank you for your comment & advice! How cool that you have hiked so much, you must have lived amazing experiences!☺️
Hope you are not traveling by these gigantic cruise ships! - they are destroying the natural environment and ecosystem - just leaving the shit and pollution 🥵
@@heidifarstadkvalheim4952 Thank you for the info, it’s always good to have awareness !
I love how you are leading life..❤i also want enjoy my life freely without any care...and you made correct decisions dear.. I dont wish to having g children and doing typical jobs ..and if I am also ready to be single forever if i don't get the man i desire.
@@rosestar5157 Thank you so much, Rose! I just experienced on my own skin how painful and lonely it can be to be with the wrong person ( and have seen it around me,too ), so, even though I would prefer to have a partner, a family, etc, I also feel that the roles we have to play in this dysfunctional society are very limited. Like we live on a planet with majestic nature and Aurora Borealis, and all I should focus on is a job and family obligations… I just feel I want more from life.
@@CristinaFilms aww that's so nice to know from you💖 and I completely love your concept. I don't like to play the typical role.. I want to live the life without any limitations... And I always found the wrong men in my life..i stopped looking for relationship.. if someday I get my dream man, I'll be lucky 😁Wish you all the best and live your life... Thank you for your kind reply dear Cristina💖
@@rosestar5157 I relate, wish you good luck in everything!
My Family immigrated to the US where I was born. I've been Single most of my life. However, most of my Adult Relatives in Norway are also Single. Everyone is highly Educated with really good jobs. However, I feel the main issue is that my Family Members have all become very Independent & Self-Sufficient. I always thought that by now I would have had a Wife & Two Kids + a Dog. I'm not unhappy, but Dating has been a bit of a nightmare. I agree 💯% that it has to be with the "Right" Woman, & I would rather be alone than to Settle with the wrong person.
@@cougsjohnson1 Thank you for your comment! I relate to what you say, I think we are very self-sufficient and because we are not socially obligated to marry and stay with that person as previous generations, I think we prefer to stay single instead of being with someone because we have to. I have experienced on my own skin how painful and lonely it feels to be with the wrong person. And modern society itself feels like more inclined towards individualism, rather than prioritizing making a family. Plus it’s so expensive nowadays to have children.
Stå på. Det blir bare gøyere.
Takk, Ronny!!!
Awesome video! It's cool to hear the real deal about living in Norway. Your insights are super helpful for anyone thinking about moving there. Thanks for sharing your experience in Oslo - really enjoyed it. Keep up the great work! Cheers, Simon - Tales From Abroad

Great video, Cristina! We are planning our first Norway trip for my 40th Bday & bringing my dad along as our heritage is Norwegian. What cruise line did you take from Ålesund to Geiranger? I am looking to book a fjord tour and I thought your Alesund hotel & breakfast looked great. Open to other suggestions from anyone. We are thinking Tromso, Alesund and Bergen for sure.
@@JacquelynKise Thank you! I did a full day cruise from TripAdvisor called “Alesund Geiranger Fjordcruise By Boat”. You chose really good places. A tip is that I would have liked to stay in Geiranger for a full day. That place was really beautiful!
What an epic trip to Ålesund and Geiranger! 🌍 The video is really beautiful, well done! I recently visited the same area, and wow, it's stunning. The fjord cruise and hiking to Fjellstua and Sukkertoppen brought back some great memories. The traditional Norwegian wooden houses at Sunnmøre Museum were fascinating too. I absolutely loved it there. Thanks for sharing your adventure! Cheers, Simon - Tales From Abroad
@@TalesFromAbroad-SJ Thanks for the comment! It is a beautiful place indeed, how cool to get to experience, right?
I live in Oslo but have never tried the sauna yet! Maybe I’ll try it in winter 🥶
Girl, it feels amazing! And if you wanna do the sauna-cold water combo, delicious! Thanks for the comment!
Almost passed our house there in the beginning of Day 4, on your way to Sukkertoppen☺️ Grew up on Hessa and built my house here too, never get tired of the views of the fjord and Sulafjellet🙌 Glad you enjoyed Sunnmøre!

@@bertilfugels2238 That’s so kind of you! Thank you!😊
It seems like a couple of shots in the video was taken with a drone. Norway has strict regulations about where and what you can fly of drones. For example is drone flying not allowed near military installations, within 5 km from an airport, in national parks ....and in Oslo centre. AT 3:50 the picture is taken at the water front of the city hall.....I guess with a drone... I just want to let you know that a tourist who did the same ...at the same place....was arrested by police ...the drone confiscated ....and given a fine of 12000 NOK.... The rules are to be found on net ...like under Avinor...
@@Dan-fo9dk Thank you for your advice, indeed it is illegal to fly drones in European cities. Only people who have a special permit can do so. Good thing I don’t own a drone 😉 and I bought the Oslo footage off a stock footage website.
Hi Christina, wunderful video,Norway is indeed a beautiful and amazing place. i have been there tree times (Tromso, Lofoten islands and the hurtigruten sea voyage from Bergen to Kirkenes) and this country never ceases to astonish me, greetings from Belgium

Hi Cristina, When you take the 3-4 hour day cruise, do you mean that you have to return with the cruise back to the city after 3-4 hours? What if I want to spend more time at Geiranger?
@@douvinsky So the cruise is about 7-8h , and you spend about 2-3 hours in Geiranger. I would have also liked to stay more, I am planning to return to stay a full day there, at least. Magical place. Yes, you have to return with the cruise. Unless you take a one way boat.
@@CristinaFilms Thank you very much for your prompt response. I am currently thinking of renting a car from Alesund, then it is more flexible on the time, and could be more savings for a family of 5. Then I have more time for activities at Geiranger. As for cruise experience, I believe I can either add it at Alesund, or some other places in Norway (I am still checking out). For now, my tentative itinerary: Day 1 : Oslo (probably no museum hopping, or just one as kids are not museum type) Day 2 : Oslo (Nature) - lake of Sognsvann / viewpoint at Vettakollen Day 3 : Oslo -> Alesund by flight, rent a car Day 4 : Geiranger (don't take for granted a sunny day as per your advice, if sunny, go Geiranger!) Day 5 : Geiranger/ Alesund Day 6 : Alesund to Bergen (by flight) Day 7 : Bergen (Train to Flam?) Day 8 : Bergen -> leaving Norway The above is my current plan. If anyone has any suggestions, please do let me know! Thanks.

"High taxes are an investment into a better society in which I get to to part of and live in" is the best way to describe the tax situation in Norway that I've heard.
@@FM-kl7oc They do put these taxes to good use to make a very strong social security system that takes care of the people.

Well, Norway is one of the cheapest countries to raise kids in. Diapers and other babyproducts (also for womens menstruation products) is subsidised. Kindergarden is cheap, and you’ll pay less per child if you have more than one in kindergarden. It’ll become even cheaper this fall. School is free. Healthcare for kids is free, including dental. For grown ups it’s a small free, with a «free card», that gives no fees if you’ve spent more than 3165kr ($287) on healthcare within a year. Dental is not covered for adults. My youngest son was sick when born, we spent 2+ months in hospital, where he was flown with a helicopter to another hospital. Had 24/7 care for the kid, me and my life lived for free in the hospital, with food covered and full salary covered. Also we got refunded our traveling expenses, including multiple trips home during the stay, as our parents was home with our biggest child. So without the generous welfare state, we’d be millions in debt.
Thank you for the comment with the info. It is good that we debate these types of things , so that others read bout different perspectives. Though menstrual pads, are sold in the supermarket with normal prices, as a woman I have never heard of that being subsidised by the government. Can you please provide where I can get the subsidised menstrual pads? I have many periods ahead.
Pads are not subject to tax refunds or tax cuts. My boy must have done en oopsiedoopsie. That being said, diapers are so cheap in Norway that we would literally get russian "tourists" in white Vans driving around Varangerfjorden filling up their van with diapers and taking them back home selling it 😂 Speaking from experience. I used to work in kiwi, and before the war in Ukraine, they would show up and empty us all out 😂
@@theownmages Thanks for the clear up! Good to know more perspectives! Thank you for the comment!
