After one months travelling in Norway we are finally back in real life. It’s definitely the most beautiful country we have ever seen with mind blowing landscape & to another extent wallet blowing beer price !

About the hitch hiking process: we took 38 different cars, trucks, van throughout our journey. Waiting time between 30 sec and 1h30min with and average of 20, 30 minutes. We highly recommend hitchhiking in Norway with their small roads it’s a very good spot to get cars easily and we felt 200% safe during our trip. Every single Norwegian we met were super nice and friendly. During the hours we spent in their cars we exchanged and learned things about your culture and country that we couldn’t find in our guide book. We are very thankful for that. We realized that we were extremely lucky with the weather and picked the right year for this kind of trip as everybody reminded us during the journey.
We are not sure if next time we will come to Norway for studies, internship, job or holidays but one thing is sure we will come back. Jordan & Thomas
