Hi, I’m Neil, your local host in Oslo who loves sharing the charm of this modern city surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. What I appreciate most about Oslo is its relaxed pace and walkable scale—everything feels close, whether it’s the vibrant city center or the tranquil forests and lakes that surround it. You’ll often find me exploring Oslo’s fantastic galleries and museums or venturing into nature for a hike or a peaceful moment by the water. I also enjoy spending time on the Oslo islands, a hidden gem for anyone looking to experience the city from a different perspective. Whether you’re curious about life in Oslo, looking for fun on a budget, or planning a special celebration, I’m here to help you discover what makes this city such an incredible place to live and visit. Let’s explore Oslo together at your own pace!
