Oslo, Group travel
I went to Oslo to visit a friend who is working there and to learn how to ski with her and another friend that went with me because she also lives in Europe. Where are all from Perú but we got to meet up in Norway after 5 months of not seeing each other. It was fun!!

Oslo, Solo travel
One of the safest city I have ever visited! Everyone was nice and helpful! It was easy to get around everywhere. Probably one of my favorite cities. As someone working in human rights it was interesting to visit the noble peace prize center.

The city is extremely safe, no catcalling or other harrasment happening, one of the places I felt the safest, but it very expensive and the city itself is not that big, so the amount of activities is limited.

Oslo is really safe. I've lived here for two years now and haven't had any issues. Only the usual ones you get in any big cities. Pickpocketing and theft is not common. People are generally really nice and helpful.

Very safe! It can be touristic and have many people during main season in summer, but mostly very private and silent city. Locals can be a little distant, but definitely mostly very kind and helpful if you need anything

On weekends you can expect people to be more approaching. In my 8 years in this city I have had a total of three bad experiences, all three has been lone men. It is not far between crowded streets so as long as you stay within the opening times of shops and nightlife you will be ok

About me
Hello to all of the wonderful women out there! My name is Joanna. I come from Poland, but I live, study and work in northern Norway - in Tromsø. I have a degree in political science and worked testing video games for a while. I work in tourism industry in Tromso and love talking about the city as well as Norway in general. I've travelled all over Europe including Albania, Switzerland, Greece, Italy or France. I also hiked a lot in polish and slovakian mountain ranges and in the Himalayas in Nepal! I adore meeting new people and I'm a talkative and curious person. I have a lot of stories and observations to share. I love hiking, being out in nature, video games, alternative music and good restaurants. I love to travel and can find something fascinating in every place. I live in student housing where I can host one person at a time for a short amount of time.
