American Reacts to Countries Norwegians LOVE to Visit
Check out me and my twin brother reacting TOGETHER here:
/ @ryanandtyler
When Americans go outside of our country it is a big deal, but from what I understand it is not all that uncommon for Norwegians to vacation and travel to other countries. The fact that Norway has several neighboring countries within driving distance also makes it much more practical for travel as well. That being said I am curious about what Norwegians consider to be their favorite country to visit in the entire world.

Norwegians on average are travelling more than almost any country in the world, now we have the economical means to do so and historically we've always traveled. Even the word Viking is a verb(to go on Viking). Norway has always had close ties to many many countries all over the world 🌎🌍

Norwegians visit the US a lot. Ive been there 4 times myself, but I know people who go there regularly. Many of us still have family there even if the diaspora is getting many generations old.
I've been binging on your channel for 3 days while working now. Really appreciate your interest in us and our country! Also one of the reasons most of us travel so much is because as you know Norway is quite expensive. We earn accordingly to live normal lives here for the most part, but once we travel places that are cheaper it's like we get to pretend to be a bit more wealthy than we are in Norway

Stunning country, Norway, no doubt!! I had a friend from there, ... Excellent video!.. Greetings from Peru! ✌🏼🇵🇪
Most Norwegians will have traveled abroad. Sweden is drivable for most of the east part of Norway, border only slightly over an hour away from Oslo. Denmark is always very popular with lots of ferrys going there, same with Germany. And a lot of Norwegians go to Spain. Then spread across most of Europe since it’s pretty close. USA is also quite popular, but it’s a long flight and more expensive.

I would love to visit USA. I got some friends there thanks to Twitch streaming. It would be fun to see them in real life. I wish you a happy Thanksgiving.
I'm norwegian and my parents took me a bunch of places when i was a kid. Places I remember traveling to: - florida, orlando - greece - england, london - sweden - denmark - germany - france I don't remember the rest but know i have been other places too. I was lucky with my parents savings up for summer holiday every year, either to our cabin, or other countries 😄👌 it was an amazing childhood ❤😄 Cabin in the summer, bbq, swimming, fishing, hiking, even just traveling in your own country is amazing😄👌
Come on over norway, Canada loves you. Granted we aren't warm, we're actually quite a bit colder in the winter, and we aren't all that cheaper from you, so we are arguably one of the worst places to visit if you wanted a proper escape from norway, but we'd love to have you. Come over and pack your skis
2:48 She has probably visited far more than 4 places, but those came to mind as places she enjoyed.
My kid is just over 2 years old. He have already visited Sweden (of course) Spain, France and Italy.
The days most students learn a 3rd language in school. Spanish, French, German, etc. depending on what the school offers...
I'm a norwegian, and I have visited following countries: Iceland, Sweden (many times), Denmark (many times), Estonia, Germany (5 times), France, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Austria, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece (2 times), Cyprus, Turkey (5 times) and Tunisia.
Remember, that even if it looks like it's small, Norway can be huge if you want to drive in your car to a different country. F.ex. To drive from Bergen to Oslo it's a 6-8 hour drive, depending on how far, and how fast you want to drive in a day. It's around 500 Km or 310 miles.
The way Tyler pronounces "Stavanger" is cute and hilarious at the same time. It would take me a minute to actually register he was talking about Stavanger😅
I'm norwegian, and I have been too: South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Egypt, France, Germany, Italy, Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania, England, Irland, Denmark, Sweden and Finland. And I'm going to Scotland now in December.
we have mostly gone on vacations within the country. went to sweden once and denmark twice for vacationing. Oh and my mother worked three years abroad, so i also visited her once in Korea. Sweden and Denmark would be like you went to the neighboring state by car.
I know many norwegians like to go too USA, New York, San Francisco, and many more places. My daugheter and her husbond have been in New York and Calefornia, Las Vegas and Texas, they liked it verry much!
Ive been to New York, Orlando, Houston, Corpus Christi, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Malaysia, Singapore, Sweden, Denmark, The Netherlands, Belgum, Spain, Germany, Italy, England and Scotland. Dubai is high on the list, but will go to Latvia and Polen hopefully next year.
Dane here, literally dont know anyone who have not been out the country. I just hit my first bucket list number of 25 countries, next goal is 50. For danish people its pretty normal to go at least ones a year on vacation to another country.
I,m from Norway and i am 11 year’s old and i have Been to 6 different countries
Fun fact, if you live in Malmö, Sweden you can drive across Öresundsbron to get to Danmark. It takes a while though.
13:50 remember that Norway had the second longest German invasion battle (after Russia) of 2 months and had an ENORMOUS amount of soldiers stationed in Norway. About 300 000 German soldiers were in Norway at any given time, with a population of about 3 million Norwegians at the time, that's 1 soldier for every 10 Norwegians. It stuck in memories, even people who never interacted with their great grandparents who were adults during that time, still remember it.

Norwegian here. In my family my parents are the biggest travellers, they intend to visit all continents and any country they can get to (I think they have been to like 80+ countries by now, and counting) and they love getting around and seeing as much of the history and culture they can manage when they go. They just came back from Peru and every day we got updates and photos sent of everything they were experiencing. My oldest sister is the closest to them travel wise, she's travelled the furthest out of us kids. Now that she has a family, travel has become more of a compromise, but while she was still single she went pretty far. My middle sister is the least fond of traveling, she prefers short trips and to not go all that far. She did travel with the family as a kid and will go with her family if they want to go somewhere, so has been around various countries in Europe, but is content to travel inland most of the time. I'm the habitual traveller, so I tend to go back to the same places over and over again. I've been to many different european countries thanks to my parents, but on my own I have only really gone to UK and Germany for events I like attending.

When I was young we used to travel around Europe by rail on a special ticket where you just buy that one ticket and you can use it in the whole of Europe. As a result, I have been in every European country that is a part of that deal, some more than once (such as Poland, I tended to enjoy "eastern" Europe more than other countries).

Im a "middle class" man from Norway in his 40s. I consider myself fond of Norways nature, and I often have vacations in my familys cabin close to the ocean in southeast Norway. I also have family from the mountains a bit north of Bergen, and often visited them in my younger years. I DONT look at myself as a person who travels alot, but have been to a few countries so far anyway. The reason I dont consider myself as a globetrotter, is that I mostly have been in European countries, sometimes as a vacation, other times as a "field" trip with the company I work for. Its easy and fairly cheap for us to travel to other european countries. Outside Europe, I have been in Thailand two times, and one time in Azerbaijan close to Iranian boarder. In Europe i have been to Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Germany, Austria, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Netherlands, England, Croatia, Czech Republic, Italy, France, Slovakia, Lithuania, and Greece. I would love to visit USA, especially Alaska, New York, and Los Angeles. Japan would be cool to experience, and also south America.

Hello I'm from Norway. I have been looking at your videos and it's fun to watch. It's a lot of things i se inn your videos that's not actually correct. Usually is foreigners talk about Norway And there's a problem. If you want to know about Norway, You have to talk to A real Norwigean 🙂🙂
Norwegians, or the majority of Norwegians, live around the capital Oslo. They have been a few times to Sweden, Spain, maybe Thailand and somewhere else, but they have not seen the most beautiful holiday country, i.e. Norway.
The US is probably one of the countries Norwegians visit the most, but southern Europe and Thailand are probably the main destinations - especially in the winter months. If you want high temperatures in December / January, you have to go to the Equator or outside Africa where you will find the Canary Islands, which most Norwegians visit in winter. This is because it takes 5 hours by plane and not 14-20
As you Said, the USA is so big. If I should travel to Spain it's a 4-5 hours flight from Oslo Airport. I was in the USA almost 20 years ago. Flew to San Francisco via London, spent the weekend there. Then we picked up a rental car and drove to Las Vegas via Bakersfield and Barstow. 3 nights in Vegas, then over the Hoover Dam to Arizona and Phoenix and Meza, walked over the border in to Mexico for a cople of hours, and then to San Diego where we stayed the last week. I think we drove about 15-1600 miles. It was a really great trip 😁👍🏻
Also, nobody mentioned it but the country most people travel to yearly, is definitely greece and turkey.
I've never been outside Europe, but I've been to more than a dozen countries. Will be going to Sweden in a couple of weeks. Gotta do the mandatory bacon and cheese run before Christmas, of course.
I'm definitely travelling to the USA one day, primarily New York City. Think it would be interesting to see both see whats what in NYC, and how they would treat a Norwegian.
I have visited 17 countries. All in Europe an except Norway where I am born and raised, I have lived in 4 different countries in Europe. I would have liked to visit New Zealand, Thailand and Canada, but somehow never did. Mainly because - when I lived outside Norway, I wanted to visit my family in Norway as often as possibly. But,- wherever I live.....Norway will always be home.
remember each country in Europe is like the states in the US, i would guess americans go to many diferent states in a lifetime! ive been visiting like 10-12 countries thats not alot for a norwegian but never been out of Europe tho.

Ive only been to indonesia and greece and the nordic countries, but i have been to those places a couple times tho. Liked them alot.
Once again, Tyler tells us that Norway is a small country. Well, Norway is about 1.3 times bigger than the United Kingdom. United Kingdom is approximately 243,610 sq km, while Norway is approximately 323,802 sq km, making Norway 33% larger than United Kingdom. Is the UK small?
My own experience is that we visited Sweden and Denmark many times in my childhood, and also took vacations in Greece and England. When I got old enough to travel by myself, I added Germany to the list, and when I discovered the Internet in the 90s, I got friends in the USA that I eventually visited. So no, while I may disagree with some politics, that doesn't prevent me from going. A few years ago I went on a cruise to Antarctica, and spent a few days in Buenos Aires on my way there. Japan is on my wish list, too. But some friends of mine did go to North Korea. The country is in fact very interested in attracting tourists. Or at least they were, before the pandemic. It's safe enough if you follow the guides. But of course, you'll be completely cut off from the outside world while you are there.
My dad loved to travel, so by the time I reached my teens I've had already been all over Norway, visited every Nordic country, been to several countries across Europe, and even Russia. If I've had the chance I might have visited USA back when the conservatives were less rabid, would been fun to meet up with some of the American people I keep in touch with online.
Norwegians love America❤, but it’s so far away .. and most of us have never been outside of Europe..
We have a joke here in Norway. No matter where we travel, its highly likely we meet other norwegians. Even random places in Africa. Edit: The reason is ofcourse money. Average norwegians travel abroad 1 time a year and 1 time within Norway yearly. (statistics by gov)

It's fairly common for Norwegians to learn a third language. I believe German and French are the most common, then probably Spanish I guess. Everyone learn English at school, starting to be exposed to vocabulary very early, then building coherent sentences later. 8 grade is common to choose a third language, but the options depend on the school, usually there are two options, but larger schools might have more. But unless they use that trird language regularly, they tend for forget most of it. I had German classes, but didn't impress, and today I wouldn't be able to make a conversation, but possibly recognise some basics, and hopefully make somewhat comprehendible responses.

As many already stated, most Norwegians have been outside Norway. It’s not uncommon that kids and youths travel outside Norway for school trips, marching band trips, soccer tournaments etc. I’m born in the late 70’s and have played an ice hockey tournament in Czech as a teen, and went for a middle school trip to Denmark. My son is attending folk high school, and they will go to New York for a week in the spring.
Norwegians travel a lot, maybe because of our many holidays, livable wages and cold winters. Personally I have been to Sweden too many times to count, and Denmark/Netherlands probably 6 times. I've visited Germany four times and I've been to Spain and Greece twice. England once, Finland once, Latvia once, etc.
I'm Norwegian and didn't really think I had traveled so much compared to many others, but after this video, I was going through in my mind where I've been and it does become a lot after half a lifetime. Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, Polen, Netherlands, France, Cyprus, Israel, Egypt, Iran, Turkey, Australia, Switzerland, Austria, Canary Islands(spain) England, USA, Greece. And just at the airport in Singapore. So yeah.. I guess norwegians does travel a bit lol
If you stretch Norway out (because of the moutains) it would be bigger than most countries. =)
From Norway you can basically drive to all of Europe, you can ferry to Denmark Germany and the UK, and going east you can go almost anywhere 👍 Btw, apart from quite a few asian, south american and east european people, I've met quite a few american tourists here, many planning to take a cruise either up or down the coast. Some fly up north to cruise down the coast, while others stop by Oslo, then go to the west to take a cruise up north and either fly or cruise back to an International airport. Bring all the wallets ;)
Another unusual and interesting video. Thanks. I hope you'll have noticed that many of these people's favourites are either closer to the US than to Norway, eg Costa Rica, Peru, and Australia, or just as far from both, as with Thailand, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, and Japan. Europeans just have longer paid vacation time than do US workers, so they travel further, more often, and for longer.
i'm a 28 year old norwegian, thought i'd list countries i've been to so here goes,- Sweden, Finland, Denmark, England, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Spain, Germany, Lithuania, Bulgaria, South-Korea, Thailand and USA

Even if it's just a song. It's about tre nisser that have to hide from a nåså, find the playdås key and spikk a new propel before Good Old Gammel Nok dies.
It is more of a hassle to get into the US than the other countries. There used to be a nice priced ticket to Miami, but that is gone.

That's the BIG difference with USA vs Europe. We got all these different countries, and everyone have different languages, ALL of them. Even if some are similar to each other. Only where it isn't, i guess, is the UK, Monaco, Andorra etc. But on top of that, there is also different dialects in every country too. But every other country have different languages. So there is 40 + different languages, cultures, habits, norms, laws, rules, etc etc etc. Which makes it this big exotic soup of different stuff. BTW: I would love to go to the USA, but.. I do understand why people are skeptical. Seeing how ''easy'' it is to mess up.. or IF you mess up, you'll definitely know you're not in Norway anymore.. So, i guess ppl just see there is other places you could go instead,... By mess up i mean, get hurt/hospital bills, be drunk, do something stupid/jail, be framed or sued for NO REASON AT ALL... Like saying something wrong/offensive. I think people just watch to many videos and stuff.
