In this conversation

Julia, a French nurse who moved to Norway in 2017, and Morten, a Norwegian who has lived in France, describe their biggest culture shocks: working hours, attitudes to time, food, family traditions and the way cultural differences affect their relationship.

They remember an unlikely first meeting, memorable misunderstandings and finding their feet in Norway, with humour and thoughtful reflections on life abroad.

Join us to see Norway through the eyes of a couple from two different cultures.
