Welcome!

What happens when a local Norwegian and an American expat put their heads together? We explore life in Norway with a "twinkle in our eye" – from American optimism to the Norwegian spirit of "dugnad."

Whether we’re discussing the sideways rain in Bergen, the quirks of the construction industry, or the art of navigating midlife, we share our candid observations on the significant contrasts between the U.S. and Norway. Join us for an inside look at our daily life! Read more about our project here
