Hi everyone, I an Trine, an extrovert and easygoing Norwegian lady in my late 50s. I partly live in Oslo and partly in a small coastal hamlet 1,5 hrs from Oslo. I like to get to know new people and I am passionate about languages. So far I speak fluent Norwegian (native speaker), English and German, intermediate French and basic Spanish. I also try to learn a few other languages. I work full time, so I am only available for meet-ups after work or those week-ends I am in Oslo.

Alternate between living with my kids - one tween, one teen - and my girlfriend. Mostly in Oslo, but we spend about two months of the year on a goat farm in western Norway.

Based on 21 experiences
sharing from the local: Nature stuff: - Maybe take the ferry to one of the islands, maybe Hovedøya. You take the boat with a normal bus ticket. - If you have the time, go to bogstad gård. I would say it’s the prettiest lake in Oslo, you can swim there, walk around and have a kanelsnurr - You should really stop by botanisk hage! It’s close to city center and really pretty! - The kings castle have a really pretty park! Culture stuff: - I would really recommend the national gallery! It’s new and kinda different I would say to other museums! I go there maybe twice a week myself. It’s so peaceful and astonishing at the same time. - You can have a tour in the kings castle, it’s interesting I think! Foods and drinks!: For coffee the cafe “Time Wendelboe” is world class! But there’s a lot of coffee places that are good, Norwegians love their coffee.. I really like the Italian food at Baltazar ristorante! The best Chinese food is probably Szechuan Chengdu by Grunerløkka. There’s a bunch of god sushi places just don’t eat at Sabrura❌ it sucks. I would also stay away from Egon! For Norwegian food i like Fiskeriet on Youngstorget, they got fish mostly! Here’s a link to all the best Norwegian restaurants but it’s written in Norwegian:/ https://www.visitoslo.com/no/artikler/norske-restauranter/ Shopping: - For vintage shopping, grunerløkka have some good stores like good vibes vintage, Robot, Frøken Dianas salonger and velouria vintage. - For classic shopping i would recommend Svean on Frogner, they get a lot of Scandinavian clothing. - Dapper on Grunerløkka, they mostly have menswear but a lot of it I would say is unisex. - Ganni postmodern and Acne archive also on grunerløkka! Mostly women’s fashion. It’s really cool! - - Valkyrien is a shopping mall on majorstua with stores like Other stories and Moniker, both cool stores one with mostly women’s clothing and the other a sports store. + a bunch of other stores. - Steen og strøm in Karl Johan is cool, more brands that are well known, four floors of different things. - Paleet is a shopping mall in Karl Johan as well closer to the kings castle. They have a really good clothing store on the second floor!

I felt very safe during my time in Oslo, even though it was only a night! People were friendly. The transport and food is expensive, but there’s enough to see in the city for an evening. I enjoyed my time there and would recommend to other solo female travellers
