Hi,

As a tourist in a foreign country, very often, we are enchanted with what we discover.

Living abroad is different. It's a rich experience but there are also some difficulties to face.

When people ask me for advice on living abroad, I then tend to say that one should also look at both sides of the postcard.

As an expat in Norway, how would you describe the two sides of your Norwegian postcard?

Thank you for sharing your experience,

Julien

Could you be a bit more specific? I don't really understand the analogy.

How would you describe the best things you've discovered in Norway, and which difficulties have you encountered when you settled down in the country ?
