How do I meet people in Norway?
When we asked people living in Norway about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded...
"I haven't been able to find an organization, club, etc.There are no expat clubs to welcome you or anything of that sort. My child goes to an International school so I have met parents (from other countries) who have become good friends. Norwegians are not easy to befriend if you don't know them through someone else. and from what I have heard northern Norwegians are not as welcoming as southern, so we have that up hill battle as well. Its been really hard to find anything if you don't speak Norwegian," commented one expat who made the move to Tromso, Norway.

"Expats in Norway can join local clubs and participate in activities such as soccer or tennis. They can join a gym, take a cooking class, or explore museums, restaurants and galleries with other expats. Expats may also attend English language meetings, join an organisation or join a religious or cultural group. Additionally, expats can try meeting people by attending social events or local festivals, or connecting with other internationals via social media platforms," remarked another expat in Norway.
