I just returned from Finnish Lapland yesterday, and while I was super sad to live Finland, it was lovely being greeted by a winter wonderland here in Rauland! Apparently it pretty much snowed nonstop over the two weeks I was gone. And now it looks so beautiful!
I have so much to share from my travels through Finland, but first I have something else to share – a new video about life in Norway.
I was in Finland with a bunch of other travel bloggers, including one of my favorite Norway-based bloggers Vanessa from Snow in Tromso. She’s originally from Germany but has been living in Norway for over three years now, so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to sit down with her and talk a little bit about life and travel in Norway.
We ended up making two videos, one about all aspects of life in Norway (the good, the bad, and the ugly!), which you can find on my YouTube channel, and another video with all of our insider tips for travel in Norway, which you can find over on Vanessa’s YouTube channel.
This was my first time filming chatty sit down videos, so let me know if you’d like to see more videos like this from me, or if you think I should just stick to videos of my travels instead. And if you do enjoy them, don’t forget to subscribe to my channel, as I’m often too shy to share my videos on my blog.

I never leave comments on YouTube, but I really liked this video! I could never have predicted your use of socks…
So, I love Norwegian TV, at least as brought toe by NRK web TV! It may be because I live in a very flat and densely populated country, virtually devoid of the beautiful language that is Norwegian, but there it is. My favourites:
Der ingen skulle tru at nokon kunne bu (about wonderful remote places and the people who live there)
Anything with Lars Monsen, the intrepid outdoorsman
Datoen (1 birth date, 3 people’s life stories – 1 well-known person and 2 others. Really good stories!)
Also good:
Eventyrjenter (because the name Villmarksjentene was already taken)
Arkitektenes hjem
Solgt! (if you’re into architecture, interior design or upbeat game shows)
Muitte mu – husk meg (about joik)
And there’s lots more!

I knew I had forgotten one of my favourites… Nomino, a series about Norwegian names. One season about personal names, and one about place names, including lots of little interviews, trivia and quizzes :).

We get quite a few Scandinavian shows in the UK. From Norway I really enjoyed these:
Frikjent – the first couple of episodes are a bit slow but it’s worth sticking with. The scenery is to die for and the ending killed me dead.
Valkyrien – crazy but brilliant! (and Pål Sverre Hagen is my new celebrity crush)
Unge Lovende – I thought it might not be my cup of tea at first, but ended up binge-watching both seasons and can’t wait for the third.
