I recently landed in Oslo, Norway so I fgured why not take you on a quick walk through this popular, walkable city! 🇳🇴

I always arrive a few days early before a cruise—this time, before heading to the Arctic with Silversea on one of their Expedition ship. This is one of my top tips:

✔️ Avoid delays & lost bags
✔️ Beat jet lag
✔️ Explore more!

Come stroll with me and get a glimpse of Oslo + some real-time travel tips from the road. 🎥🌍

✈️ Just posted a new video from my recent flight experience—this time flying Business Class with Edelweiss Air.

I filmed bits from the Uber ride to the airport all the way to my hotel room in Oslo, Norway, so you’re getting the full picture—jet lag and all 😅

In the video, I cover:

Lounge access at the airport

Seat setup (yes, I tested the flatbed)

Food and service onboard

What you do and don’t get in terms of amenities

And yep… the 2-hour delay drama in Zurich—and how Edelweiss actually handled it really well

If you're flying to Europe and Edelweiss shows up as an option, this might help you decide if they're worth booking.
