What do expats in Norway appreciate most about the local culture?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they appreciate the most about the local culture in Norway. They wrote...
"The beautiful nature and the lush green surroundings. Although, I have to admit that it can get tedious sometimes, as I am used to the extravagant city life with skyscrapers at every corner and streets bustling with people. I love the seafood here. I like how people are very independent," remarked another expat who made the move to Bergen, Norway.
"Expats in Norway appreciate the country's welcoming acceptance of diversity. They are also drawn to Norway's idyllic natural beauty and its long tradition of rich cultural traditions. Norwegian hospitality, generosity, and kindness are also highly valued by expats, as is the ample access to outdoor activities available throughout the country. Additionally, the incredible work-life balance, strong emphasis on environmental issues, and efficient and reliable transportation system appreciated by expats who live in Norway," explained one expat living in Norway.
