Oslo Autumn

October 19th 2018
Let's face it. On a world level, Americans are rich. Not all of them, but most of them. Sure we complain about the high cost of living, excessive taxes and the general lack of economic opportunity based on our perceived lack of material goods. But we are still rich. It's not only the Americans though. It's the Australians, English, Germans, Swiss and many more. We know who we are. As we have tr ... read more

In July of 2011, we made the decision to leave our comfortable jobs in Northern California to see the world. We weren’t sure where we were going to go or how long we would be gone, but we wanted an adventure and we knew we could find it if we looked carefully enough. We would travel slowly, staying in cities and towns for longer periods than most tourists have time for. Hopefully, it would give us an opportunity to observe local life in a unique way. In June of 2019, we completed our 8th consecutive year of travel. We visited 53 countries on 4 continents and travelled for 2873 straight da... full info

Glad you enjoyed our little corner in the world
We live in Stockholm so Oslo is not far away. When it comes to travelling in Sweden and Norway it helps to know what is expensive and what isn't. It seems like you learned that the hard way. Since we live here we know the prices already and we don't even notice that some things are expensive. Nice to read a story written by an outsider what it is like to travel here./Ake

Enjoyed...
Indeed we did enjoy Oslo very much. Really a beautiful city and we wish we could see some of the northern parts of the country. Hopefully, we will be back soon. It was expensive but mostly because we watch our money so close. They had lots of discounts for tourists to get into museums and for transit, but they were geared towards short-term visits. Still a great time. Thanks so much for reading and commenting, Ake. We appreciate it!
