Avoid mistakes. Save time. Get expert, tailored advice from someone who lives in Norway, wrote a guidebook, and travels around the country for a living.
For many of you, a trip to Norway is a bucket list experience that you've saved towards for years. With so much money on the line, I know how overwhelming planning a dream trip can be. Let's fix that!
Hi, I’m David Nikel.
I’ve lived in Norway for 14 years and run Life in Norway, one of the most trusted English-language travel resources about this amazing country.
I authored an entire guidebook, and speak to thousands of travellers about Norway every year on cruise ships and on land.
By doing so, I've learned the common questions, misconceptions, and the advice people didn't know they needed!
That’s why I offer personal travel planning calls to help you make the most of your once-in-a-lifetime trip to Norway.

After our call, I’ll send you a recording of our call (if you're happy for it to be recorded) and a list of links to resources discussed.

âť“Frequently Asked Questions
Why isn't X day or time available? I'm based in Norway, and I work full-time on my travel business, so I have done my best to make as much time as possible available for these calls.
Can I schedule more than one call? You can schedule as many as you like, but I recommend just one at first. You can then decide if more are needed.
What if I'm not happy? I'm confident I'll be able to help, but in the event you're not satisfied with the advice given, we will find a solution on the call.
How do I pay? Once you've selected a time, you pay via PayPal. If you don't have a PayPal account, you can pay by card, which will be securely processed by PayPal.
I can't afford it. I understand! This is a premium service, and it's priced as such. It's not intended for everyone. If it's out of your price range, please enjoy my YouTube videos all about Norway, and the Life in Norway travel blog.
