Immigrant or expat: twenty years in Norway
Episode 2 · 54min 01sec
We meet Véronique, who has lived in Norway for more than twenty years at the time of recording. A move for love grew into a lasting life as an immigrant. She takes us through her journey from southern France to Scotland, Paris and Oslo, discussing learning the language, finding work, choosing between French and Norwegian schooling for her son, and her views on identity, politics and everyday life in Norway.
