What countries do you want to visit?

Being Norwegian i think the Danish visit would be most easy to communicate and to understand in cultural aspects. I’ve never been to Denmark yet and I’m curious about how the climate is like, the more flat landscape to our mountain regions perspective. And the lovely very different Danish language. Being in København would be maybe like visiting Oslo in some ways since it’s the Capital city, I don’t know what size it is in terms of people living there. (It was like a million more people living there 🤭🤪❤️)

I want to visit Portugal because I’m quite well interested in the history of this region and the Portuguese language seems so different from my own native Northern Norwegian type sound. I also am wondering how the people interact with Norwegian tourists visiting the country. And how it feels being somewhere I never have been close to experience the landscape. Southern Europe I’m looking forward to see some time in this life.

And last but not least I want to explore North Western Russia, I have been in Kirkenes to the much further East of Finnmark county where I currently live and my deep roots in this county in our far-Northern region. I’m curious about the Russian Sámi culture and the Nenets people living in Northern Russia. I want to visit the cities Murmansk and Arkhangelsk Archangel plus other locations. My mother has been to Russia in the late 90s and early 2000s and has learned Russian language that is especially good now that many of her students are often Ukrainian youth. I know several Russian people and I admire the art history and several aspects in the culture of Russian regions, I have a dream of travel by train on the Trans-Siberian railway and on the same trip visiting Mongolia. I’m very distantly of possible Siberian and/or Mongolian ancestry according to DNA-testing estimates, but that tbh is likely my Scandinavian and Finnish ancestors meeting Eastern peoples several centuries ago.

These are a part of my curiousity of environment and cultures within Europe. I have visited other places in Norway, several places in Northern Sweden and Northern Finland. I really genuinely love almost anything Finnish; culture, art, language, way of being etc. I’m significant part Finnish origins and my ancestors were very Finnish, so our family culture is actually more Finnish than Norwegian. I’ve experienced so good mutual understanding and also see the little (but very significant) unique aspects in visiting fellow Finnish and Kven culture persons in their own homes. Wonderful ❤

Thanks for listening ❤

Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Netherlands and in my own country the town Eigersund in Rogaland county. I love being tourist in my own country. I want to go to music festival or one night music events in the Netherlands. Denmark I want to hear Danish language and see cultures there in far-Southern Scandinavia plus far-Southern Sweden as well. I have deep roots in these regions from mothers side. And I’ve visited Northern Finland like Tornio in somewhat South in Torne River Valley and Pello further North.

I love Finland and Finnish cultures, language and sense of humor! ❤ ❤ ❤

Outside Europe I also want to visit Mongolia and travel along the Trans-Siberian railway. I have distant Northern Asian origins according to DNA-testing from 23andMe and MyHeritage ethnicity estimate results. But mostly Mongolia, I’m curious about the languages and cultures within the country. It sound very different from Korean words from K-pop music.

I want to visit Tunisia as well, North African origins from DNA-testing and it’s a part of what Norwegians call ‘Syden’ and plus I’ve never been out of Scandinavia and Finland ever before.

So these are some of the regions I wish to visit. Thank you so much for reading and compassion from Arctic Norway ❤
