I got my bags packed on a roll heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good

in my passport photo.

Amateur Traveler episode 707. Today the Amateur Traveler talks about modern art and polar exploration,

Beaches and stave churches, Akkavit and Vikings as we go to Oslo, Norway.

Welcome to the amateur traveler. I'm your host Chris Christensen

Let's Talk About Norway. I'd like to welcome the show show Jason from zero to travel.com who's come to us this week to talk to us about

Oslo Norway. Jason welcome to the show.

Thanks for having me it It's an honor.

We've met in person a couple times, so it's hard to believe it took this long to do a pod together, but I'm really

excited to be here.

Well, and I do want to tell people if you haven't heard of Zero to Travel,

Zero to Travel, I would say, is one of the other well-known

travel podcasts out there, although we'll talk a little bit more at the end

about what Jason does.

It's a little different space than what we we do but it's a pleasure to have you

on I don't can't believe it took us this long to invite you on but at some point I think I was

listening to your show when you were talking about Oslo when I realized you live there and we haven't talked about it in this show and well that just made sense that you know something about it and you live there not just out of chance.

No, I have married a Norwegian woman. She imported me, I guess. She had all the paperwork and I made it over. No, I it's funny because we met in Brazil of all places. So there you are in warm Brazil enjoying the islands next thing you know

You're in the dark cold Norwegian winters

But no it's it's been a great place to live and we can talk about that a little bit if you want.

But now I've been here for, I mean I first came here about eight.

At least two kids ago.
