The Life in Norway Show dives into all things Norway and Norwegian lifestyle, from an international perspective. Here's how to access the podcast.
There are many people from all over the world living in Norway, and all of us have tales to tell. From the challenging relocation process to adjusting into Norwegian society, the Life in Norway Show shares these stories with the world.
Welcome everyone to the Life in Norway Show. I'm your host David Nikel. Every few weeks, we are going to take a deep dive into Norwegian society, culture and lifestyle.
Most episodes I'm joined by someone for an in-depth chat. Usually, this is a fellow foreigner giving their perspective on expat life and their relocation story. Everyone has a different experience, and we can all benefit from hearing multiple perspectives.
Sometimes, I like to mix it up a little by welcoming a Norwegian on to the show! I do this when I find an expert in an interesting area.
