Dugnad

Imagine a tradition where neighbours come together to work for free - for the good of everyone. That’s dugnad, one of the most unique and important parts of Norwegian culture. In this episode, we dive into the meaning of this collective spirit together with social entrepreneur Patricia  Mendez from Mexico.  How does it work in practice, how does it differ from volunteering, and why participating in a dugnad might be the key to building a network in Norway.

Food

What do Norwegians really eat, and why does food culture here feel so different? From packed lunches and waffles to seafood traditions and modern Nordic cuisine, food in Norway reflects history, nature, and lifestyle. Join us as we, together with chef  Nick Horner from Australia, explore everyday meals, surprising habits, and the cultural meaning behind what’s on the plate.

Dating

Dating in Norway can feel like decoding a cultural mystery. Who makes the first move? Why is everything so casual? And how does equality shape relationships? In this episode, we talk to Jesica Altamirano from Argentina, and explore Norwegian dating culture, from subtle flirting to long-term partnerships, and what it takes to build a connection in one of the world’s most independent societies.

Politics

Norway is known for trust in government, strong public institutions, and lively debates about the future. But how does the political system actually work, and why are Norwegians so engaged in shaping their society? In this episode, Frederico Perales, who is active in politics and originally  from Mexico breaks  down the culture of Norwegian politics and what it reveals about the country’s values.

Driving

Driving in Norway is more than just getting from A to B. It’s about navigating mountain roads, respecting strict rules, and learning the quiet etiquette of the road. In this episode, we talk to Johnannes Struweg from South Africa, and look at what makes Norwegian driving unique - from winter tires and tunnels to the calm, patient driving style that defines the country.
