What should I pack when moving to Norway?

"When moving to Norway, it is important to take items to keep warm, such as winter coats, sweaters, scarves, and hats. Additionally, waterproof clothes are important for Norway's wet weather. It is also a good idea to bring closed-toed shoes and insulated or rubber boots. Electrical appliances should be double checked to ensure they are compatible with the Norwegian electrical system, and it is wise to invest in a power converter. For outdoor activities, it is important to bring sturdy outdoor clothing, like long underwear, leggings, and jackets, along with gears such as skis, snowboards, and sleds. Lastly, depending on one’s needs, they might want to bring items like umbrellas, medications, or a phone if it is unlocked," said a member in Norway.

"I brought everything with me and should never have come but here goes: I should have brought a never ending supply of salt 'n' vinegar crisps, branston pickle and sarsons vinegar and should have left at home me, my passport and my career," remarked another expat who made the move to Skei i Jolster, Norway.
