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!!

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.

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

Tønsberg is overall a safe city with good people. In the day i have never experienced anything uncomfortable. But one should be careful around the graveyard close to the train station, there are signs at the entrance warning about syringes.

About me
I am a young happy spirit who loves traveling as a way to meet new people and keep myself grounded. Originally from the US but am currently living in Norway perusing a PhD in climate dynamics. I have about 5 million things I’m interested in and try to peruse them all only to be mostly mid haha. Top of the list tho would probably be dance, Calisthenics and Cinema.
