As long as you don’t turn black & white!! 😉

Sometimes you have to take a leap of faith, and not live with relative safety and always thinking ‘what if?’
My personal motto is ‘Don’t dream it, be it’ – and I came across a similar one recently which also sums things up ‘Life is not a dress rehersal’.

I understand totally the weight off shoulders – I too left a reliable job, albeit in my case a job I *loved* but sadly a certain person made my time at work a living hell. The feeling of crap lifting off you is amazing – I felt it too the day I handed in my notice.

I really hope you’ll be happy ‘Oop North’ – remember their dialect is erm.. ‘different’, shall we say…
We should be having a sofabed in the spare room too soon, so maybe see you & Gerry over here!!! 🙂

An inspirational read David! It’s great to see you just going for what you want and, especially as someone who is trying to make a living freelancing in Norway, I’m excited to read more about your journey.

Best of luck!

Whenever is possible, I enjoy reading your blog!!!

I lived there when I was a very young girl; 25 years have passed and I am still so much in love with the country and its people.
In the summer of 2011 I took my two young children and husband to Norway for their very first time, and they too, have fallen in love with the country and my lovely norwegian friends/host families.

Ønsker deg alt det beste og holde nyte livet og dets overraskelser på en positiv måte. Norge er et fantastisk land!

That sounds like just the right thing to do. I’m glad to read about your decision.

Trondheim is of course smaller than Oslo, but we fell in love with its charisma when we first visited some years ago. And we returned for several visits already. We are actually considering moving from Germany to Trondheim, so maybe we meet there next year!?! For me as a programmer and nerd the hi-tech scene in Trondheim is of course a big plus. 😉

Good luck, David!
