Last February 2019 I finally made it to Norway, unofficially country number 100 and decided to visit Kristiansand in winter. Why choose Oslo when you can also travel to Kristiansand? It turned out to be a great choice as I had an amazing time. This was also due to Clarion Hotel Ernst Kristiansand where I stayed while traveling around Southern Norway.

Planning your trip to Norway and wondering what is the best tourist sim card for your trip? No need to tell you that Norway is one of the most expensive countries in the world so saving a little money on high roaming charges would be great.

Visit Kristiansand in winter? Yes why not? It is simple, when everyone goes right, I tend to go left. So why not? It was my first time in Norway and I did not just want to see Oslo, I also wanted to travel through Norway a little and see some more than only the capital.
