Martin's TravelAwesome Photo Series #10 - Norway, a Paradise of Tranquility and Beautiful Nature

It is the land of mountains and fjords, surprisingly diverse, culturally unique, and offers unforgettable nature experiences and activities. In Norway you can experience the true forces of nature, go diving (under Saltstraumen), or go for some real adrenaline pumping (rock climbing!!). But you can also come here to enjoy the tranquility, as you'll have many hike paths where you will rarely meet any other traveler. And any fishermen out there? Norway is great for salmon fishing, one of the best I've ever found.

All photography in this article is original and mine

What I really liked about Norway is the true freedom to roam around, uncomplicated. It is incredibly large (larger than you think!) and really promotes an outdoor lifestyle, which I love. It is also an easy country to travel in, as pretty much everyone speaks English exceptionally well. People may come across as a bit introvert in the beginning, but trust me: they are always willing to help. With an excellent public transport system you can explore all kinds of areas remote of Oslo.

But please do take into account that this country is incredibly expensive... So make sure you budget wisely. If you're from Europe and are coming by car, you are allowed to take with you a bit of alcohol, which I suggest you to do (if you like it of course), given the insane prices of alcohol in the country.

What is really on my bucket list though are the Northern Lights. I have never seen them before. In Norway, I have not been that far up north. Have you? Please do share any photos you have of this wonderful spectacle, I am fascinated by it. And eeeh.. don't make me too jealous, ok? ;-)

Beautiful photography. :)

REally nice orginal work thanks for sharing nice photo

so beautiful

WOW, amazing pics! Upvoted and followed!!

Norway has such a breathtaking landscape, we need to go back there for sure within the next few years. Last time we didn't see the Northern lights either. One of our favourite spot was the 'Trolltunga', but unfortunatly I read, that it became quite popular the last years. We will write about our Norway roadtrip in a few weeks, so I you are up for some more great landscape photography, be sure to follow us ;)

Beautiful shots!! I've never been to Norway before, but definitely intend to make it there after seeing this post, that's for certain.

I love the outdoors as well and I can see as to why Norway would be of interest for an adventurer.

I had a similar experience when i traveled to Japan, where cost of living was VERY expensive, I thought even more expensive than the states, but maybe this was just because English was not as common as what I thought it would be (since it's their 2nd language)

So i didn't really know where to go or how to find cheap stuff, especially food.

Nice post, keep up the solid work!!

Thanks for passing by @conradsuperb! Indeed, Japan is quite similar in terms of cost of traveling, and offers some superb, relatively unspoiled nature as well. I have been to Japan but not seen that much of the country yet, I should return :)

Of course! when you return you must go to Nikko... tremendous spot to go to see the true ambient beauty of the country. Some other notable spots include kyoto, kamikura, and minamata

Happy travels my friend !!

Norway may be on of the most expensive countries, but it is still possibly to travel there in a shoestring. First of all we rented a car in Stockholm, which was quite affordable. Sleeping in a tent in public is legal there. If you sleep in a tent and cook you own food with a camping cooker you won't need a lot of money ;)

Great tips !! I would love to take a trip like this in Norway... I'll put it on me bucketlist !!

Cheers :)

Norway is a very beautiful place. I never visited but heard a lot. I wish to visit in future; specially 6 month day and 6 month night attract me. Thank you for the beautiful photos, clouds look amazing....

I would love to go to Norway to rest and be in contact with nature, since extreme sports are not for me, the photos are truly beautiful, they transmit calmness, they are a beauty.

I like your whole article .
Specially in your photography.
I apreciate your work.
& will try to promot.
Keep it up.
