One of my favorite blogs! The blogger highlights unique elements of the Norwegian landscape and makes them strangely relatable to the common reader. She captures the expat vision of settling into a new society in a creative and hilarious fashion. I am always looking forward to the next post and can't wait to see where her blog goes next!

A fantastic blog filled with wit, charm, and a happily investigative spirit! As a reader from the States, I always enjoy exploring Norway through her eyes! As a journalist and mother, this blogger gives us stories that range from the everyday to the larger societal culture, both of which she presents in an honest, reflective, and comedic fashion. This expat blog is simply a joy and an adventure, not to mention Illuminating and a breath of fresh air. I can't to see how it continues to grow!

An addictive blog that you will want to see regular posts of. The writer is living in a very unique circumstance, and she also writes with great originality while also making the stories very relatable and funny. This adds up to something that you can not find anywhere else on the internet or in other media. She grabs you with something funny or catchy, and leaves you with a little something to think about for the day. With all of the billions of blogs and writers out there, she manages to stand out and catch you with something insightful, so having this blog as one of your stop-throughs on the internet will add a little something to your daily life that you may not currently have. You will get enriched reading it, don't miss out!

A delightful view of life near the top of the world, as observed by a talented young writer with a deadpan sense of humour and a gift for finding the unique and interesting in daily life far from the comforts of home. A great read for anyone living abroad or just seeking a window into the richness, variety and enduring appeal of Scandinavian culture.
