@@melanieschmidt8753 Norway is a great country indeed 🤗
Thank-you Anna for putting this on you tube Norway is very Beautiful country .
I am very proud to be 100% Norwegian!!! ❤️🇳🇴❤️🇳🇴❤️🇳🇴❤️🇳🇴❤️🇳🇴
My maternal grandmother's father emigrated to the US from Norway. I would love to visit Norway.
Love Norway, most beatiful of all Nordic countries. 🇧🇻❤️🇫🇮
Aww thank you so much. Norway is unique indeed ☺️ but I’d say that every country is beautiful and charming in its own way 😉
Next to Sweden :)
@@jamesrussels2126 I can't really answer only 2 questions 1. Who do I love more: mum or dad 2. Which country is better: Norway or Sweden.
@@jamesrussels2126 good one hahaha😂
@Wildlife Warrior not yet ☺️ but I would absolutely love to visit your country one day! So many amazing places to visit .. I don’t even know where to start with 🥺
I am norwegian and I must say... good research! I think you got all your facts totally correct :)
Aww thank you so much 🤗🤗🤗 Im so happy to read such a comment especially from a Norwegian person ☺️ very flattered 🙂
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel Well deserved :)
@@bearofthunder thank you so much 🙏🏻
So why didn't you just write the compliment to her in Norwegian?
@@whocares_bear cos I don’t speak Norwegian, darling 😁
Love your enthusiasm!
Great video! You also have a great English, simple but confident. Thank you!
These...are shocking good things....about Norway...
Thanks for your videos of Norway. Very informative. Looking for more fun facts on Tromso.
hey Anna....thanks for posting this stuff, and love your accent....anyway keep up the posting....thank you :)
It is all so absolutely beautiful and amazing. Thank you for showing us such lovely things in this video. The BBQs by the lakes - there are BBQs like that in some country places here in the UK. I have seen them in the New Forest in England and at the foot of Bennachie (a mountain) in Scotland.
Very impressive! And thanks for saying "Gratulerer med dagen", it means a lot for us Norwegians. For those who don't speak Norwegian, it translates to "Happy anniversary (day)" when relating to our Constitutional Day, May 17th. But it can also mean "Happy birthday" if you're celebrating a person's birthday.
If you keep making as much progress as you have made in the last 12 months there is no reason you can't make vlogging your full time job and only job. Keep up the great content x 👏👌👍
Aww thank you so much ☺️🤗🤗 but it’s more my ‘solo hiking hobby’ 😉 Norway is such a fascinating country and I really want more people to know about it

Hello, Anna!
Interesting video!
Yes, fjords are very beautiful in Norway. Norwegians are good in skiing.
Today is by the way ice hockey match Finland - Norway...
Hi hi Juha ☺️
Wow!! Today?? 🤩🤩
Well.. I can take a clear guess who’ll be the winner today 😉😈

You did a very good job on research of facts about Norway 🇳🇴 well done 👏
What made you so fascinating about the country? Just curious about it
Have a wonderful 17.Mai celebration 🎉🇳🇴🍰
Beautiful country my dream holiday destination .
You are very welcome ☺️🤗🤗
Good Job. Im from Norway
Good historical content. Anna hope you are doing fine
Hello Elizabeth ☺️🤗🤗
Thank you so much! Yeah.. I did a little bit of research 🙂
How are you doing? Are you excited about coming to Norway soon? 😉
@@AnnaGoldmanTravelYeah Anna I want to prepare and come to come and do a second master's degree in Norway next year
@@elizabethquainoo4624 next year? Ohh great! Next year will be fully open Norway 🤞🏼🤞🏼 as we all used to know it 😉
You should definitely prepare in advance for the next year’s National Day Celebration! I’ve got a feeling next year it will be massive 😁 to compensate for these 2 years - 2020 and 2021 when the majority of attractions are still closed
very interesting! Im a traveler (digital nomad) so this is so educative as I travel :)
Aww thank you so much 🤗🤗 I’m happy you enjoyed it 🙂
digital nomad? daaamn. So am I... I guess.
@@aspir133 nice to meet you ♥️
wow i had no idea norway was the reason japan used salmon. i couldn't imagine sushi without both tuna and salmon! and I have a friend that owns a famous sushi restaurant, too.
Ohh that’s cool! I love sushi so much ☺️
This fact shocked me also 😁 who would imagine! Japanese sushi and Norwegian salmon
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel ya! she says it is not yet a "staple" fish in japan and usually grilled, but in America I think it is at least as popular as tuna. what is your fav. sushi? mine is eel, but that is cooked, so it would be tuna, then yellowtail, then salmon raw. i could eat sushi every day if I were rich, lol. i look forward to fishing when I move to bergen!
@@c.ladimore1237 aww same here! I would also eat sushi every day if I could 😌 but you know.. raw fish everyday - not a good idea .
I love everything spicy actually- like spicy tuna and spicy salmon, then I’d name octopus, squid and scallops. I’m a massive seafood fan 😁
In Bergen sushi was sooo good by the way! So fresh and the variety was amazing!
There’s also legendary Fish Market in Bergen 😉 it was closed when I was there due to current situation.. but I’ll definitely be back for it 😁
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel i know! crazy. i saw a few other videos about it closed and it was so sad. if (when) i live near city centre bergen I will be going there every other day! not for raw each time as you said, but fresh!
@@c.ladimore1237 absolutely! You definitely should ☺️ I’m sure there are so many cool places in Bergen! Lots to discover 😉
My advice, keep learning and practicing you Norwegian if you are planning to move here 😉 it will help a lot when you get a job here 🙂
nice 🙂
Anna nice to see you again your videos are still detailed and fun to watch. I have this one question, is it possible to travel over to Europe once you come to Norway as an international non-eu student?
Good question!! Well, you better check it with immigration companies - Norway is following some rules of European Union but I’m not sure how’s visa situation 🙂
I know that to come to Norway as international non-eu - you’ll need Schengen visa
Norway is not a member of the EU, but a Schengen member country. If you get a Schengen Visa (which is what you get when applying for a visit to the EU), you shouldn't have any problem travelling in Norway (or the rest of EU/Schengen).
Anna, will you please do a video about recreational fishing in Norway. Both salt and fresh water will be very interesting. Love from Florida, USA
Norway's fishing community is the best in the world ;) We are all descendants of fishermen. My best fishing memories are from Hitra.
Look up Lofoten and Hitra to see about salt water fishing.
Also i've gotten giant pikes in freshwaters everywhere.
Never leave trash. I can't stress this enough. Norwegians WILL at least call you out on it or get angry with you. This is usually how it is in general, but especially if your hiking, in a park or other public areas. It's very frown upon! There are usually bins everywhere you go even on remote trails, so do yourself a favor and use those. Also not picking up droppings after your dog is considered equally bad.
Norwegians also put a lot of effort into sorting out trash for recycling. Recycling is considered to be important and it's expected for you to do so in your household. It's normal to have a different container for each type like glass and metal, plastic, paper and cardboard, organics, etc.
There she is again 😊
Thank you Oliver ☺️🤗🤗 I keep loving your gorgeous country 🙂
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel wohooo 🇳🇴😊
3.....the Fjords are beautiful, no wonder there are plans to put hotel places there
How's the fishing in Norway? My ancestors were Norsemen I need to check things out from 800 -- 10 hundered- 1066
Galileo Galilei may have been ahead of his time, but he never managed to be an astronaut (or even a kosmonaut) - he stayed firmly on Earth as an astronomer, discovering the first moons of Jupiter.
In addition to the Oslo tree in Trafalgar Square in London, trees are also donated to Aberdeen, Grimsby, Kirkwall (two, on ouside and one indise St Magnus Catherdral), Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and Sunderland.
The Nowegian royal family's rrots do NOT go back to the 1200. The royal line died aout at about the time of the Kalmar union in 1397, when Norway, Denmark and (for a while) Sweden went into a union. After that, the royal line was the Danish one, which was not related at all. The present family is an offshoot of the Dano-German Glycksburg-Oldenburg house (which has married into a few of the royal houses of Europe: The Greek, Russian Romananoffs, the British, and Norwegian), established as Norwegian royals in 1905.
Aww thank you very much Eivind 🤗
It’s always a great pleasure to hear a real expert’s point of view ☺️ thank you very! Love learning from you, guys 🤗
Norway has a big ship building industry.
those facts are infact facts
Thank you 🙂
This is from Kongsberg/Kjennerudvannet?
thank you so much, it was very useful information about Norway. but I'm interested to find a job there. could you please guide me?
Hey, this is filmed in my hometown :)
I live in Norway
Correct depth of Hornindalsvatn is 514 m, and the surface is only 52 m above the sea level.
Aww I’m so happy my research was correct ☺️
Coop Extra is the same prise range as Kiwi and Rema 1000, Coop Mege isent :D
One more great thing about Norway that I think you missed. One of the greatest playwrights of the planet is Ibsen - also a Norwegian.
always want to visit Norway but when I remember that I don't have guiding friends from this country i postpon the visit
you are so likeable ^.^
ty for the video =)
Thank you very much 🤗 I’m so happy you enjoyed it 🙂❤️
In Australia there are gas powered bbq at a lot of small parks in the cities and at most camping grounds at National Parks; is Lake Baykal not in Europe?;
Kongsberg! :D
So cute...how do you pick up ashes with an set of tweezers?
Great video. What was that floating piece of wood with chai at 0.18 timestamp
WoW! Interesting! I’ll check it out 😉🤗
It's a floating bading platform,it's mostly used by kids to jumping into the lake.
Most of the public bading places in Norway will have at least one.
@@bjrnerikhagen7452 why just kids? 🙄 I was using it quite a lot last summer ☺️ I love the infrastructure around the lakes and rivers in Norway! Well done, guys 🙌🏻
As I said: Mostly used by kids.
I never said only used by kids.
@@bjrnerikhagen7452 we all kids a little bit 😁 especially when it involves summer and water 😉
oh thats cool as an australian i thought we were the only country that had public bbqs haha
Our Royal family is not that old, after we departed from Sweden and become our own country again there was a debate about if we where to be a monarchy or republic, it was desided we wanted to continue to be a monarchy.
But we lack royal family so we had to ask our neighbours about it, we did ask the swedish royal family for a prince aparently they declined, but I also think we really really wanted a prince from the danish royal family.
So we asked... and their prince wanted to become our king on one condition, we had to vote for it, so there was held a referendum and he won !!! so he took the name Haakon and become King Haakon VII and was democratic elected king !!!
His son who came with him from Denmark became King Olav V, and is the father of King Harald V. They have all been great kings, and I believe they are also related to both the Swedish royal house, Danish royal house and British royal house.
Thank you so much! Good to know ☺️ but as you might know Norwegian Crown Price will be the first King of Norway who was both from both Norwegian parents 😉
Sorry to say, but we have had Kings all the way back to Harald Hårfagre in 865-931. So Anna is correct. But you could say that the Royal family of today has its ancestry from England. Also, England was invaded by Vikings and their bloodline is somewhat merged somewhere in time. I'm no expert, but it's possible that the English Royal family has some Norwegian or Danish Viking blood :)
What if you are originally from another country, but want to take part in dressing up? If it is appropriate and allowed for someone from a foreign country to do this, do they just pick a favorite or does someone local pick for them?
The reason why salmon from north atlantic is prefered to salmon is because of they have less to no parasites... I did read somewhere, that is probably also why japanese did not use salmon from pacific ocean.
That’s actually a very interesting point! Also Norwegian salmon is quite fatty 🙂 maybe it’s also a trick why people tend to love it so much.
I personally find Scottish salmon leaner
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel I think it might be, but to be honest I don't eat norwegian farmed salmon, I like fresh wild salmon instead. Wild Salmon is less red in the meat (I believe they add some sort of colors to the feed) also wild salmon is less fatty, farmed salmon is lazy :-) so it gains fat
@@arcticblue248 how interesting! Can you buy wild salmon in the supermarket here? Does it have any special mark?
Can you actually fish salmon in Norway yourself? Is this possible? ☺️
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel I live up in Finnmark at the coast, there use to be several people fishing wild salmon at sea but this year and god knows how long it will not be allowed to do that because it is so few wild salmon going up the rivers.
Yes you can fish wild salmon in Norway, many rivers where they charge you a fee to fish for like a day or so ... many sportsfishing doing that.
Its quite possible some specialized fish stores might sell wild salmons... people often prefer farmed ones because of the colors but I think wild ones are better.
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel Meny might have it .. but its probably seasonable ... so not something you can get all the time.
I want to make a road trip for 10days which city I am getting to start and end?
NOrway thats where our family Orginated from Sweden, Norway,Denmark. most Beautiful countries
When you said Magnus Carlsson, I was thinking of the singer.
Two more languages are official in Norway.
That is Kven and Romani.
Kven is spoken bye descendants of Finnish immigrants and Romani by Norwegian travellers.
But as said written Norwegian has two forms.
about the public income data, i don't really care about it. it's kind of a thing where it involves everyone so its not a big deal. monetary value in Norway is not weaponized in any means and i think it's for the best. Also, a 16th fun fact: a few years ago when Americans had some military training near Kongsberg, some soldiers came across a kindergarten in the middle of their recess. As a joke, they began to have a snowball fight, but the kids completely overwhelmed the soldiers and they had to fallback. The kids tackled the Sergent to the ground and proceed with what we call "Kryne", which means you take a handful of snow and either show it in their clothes or in their face. The story was told from the Sergent in a post somewhere.
😳 that’s amazing 😁 love this one! Don’t mess with the kids 😂
Nice video, but Galileo an astronaut? 😂
About Northern Lights, back in the old days people in Norway used to scare their children by telling them stories about that the Northern Lights were the spirits of the heavenly realm appearing in the skies, most likely a scare tactic parents used to ensure that their children would be home by the time of dark. Stories about ghosts, trolls and other nature spirits are very prominent in Norwegian fairy tales and folklore. xD
🤩🤩🤩🤩 this is so cool! Very interesting!
Were the kids actually scared? 😉 as for me, the Northern Lights are way too beautiful to be afraid of them 😌
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel Yes, I remember my grandmother telling me when she was a kid she believed it to be the spirits of dead people, so she was told ''not to wave at them'', because then they would come down and take her. xD It's like little scary fairy tales and histories that parents back in the days used to tell their kids to ''encourage'' them to be home by the time it was dark outside, so the parents didn't worry about where their kids were after dark. xD
@@bobmalibaliyahmarley1551 thats really interesting!
‘Not to wave them’ ☺️ - this is actually cute. But yeah.. I see what you mean, for the kids it might’ve been terrifying to hear a story like this!
7:51 Also to the US
I wish we in the US had such tax transparency; it would no doubt change a few minds.
I'm gonna ask in every video. Have you tried Nugatti now? Haha =D
My ancestors came from the lardol Fjord
❤👍😊🇧🇻
All these facts are really great about Norway but where is The kingdom of Arendelle?
Ground control to Major...Galileo (6:00)?
☺️🤗
Ana sister can you tell me what is the age limit to enter inside Norway?
What do you mean? 🙂 I don’t think anything in this life has age limit 😉
In the United States there are barbecue pits I guess you could call it available at picnic grounds and campgrounds throughout the country. The problem with the United States is that some people just don't take care of their garbage and it's a crime.
America has these same public barbecue things at the lake
Can i travel to Norway with euro in my wallet or i hav to change it to Norwegian krone before arriving to Norway thanks
well now....No wonder Norway is always in the top three Happiest countries in the world
Actually I think Magnus Carlsen became the World Champion in 2013 after beating Viswanathan Anand.
Could be 🙂 Wikipedia thinks it was Gary Kasparov though ☺️
Oh... you might just be the most perfect closet norwegian I've ever seen
