Hi there 👋😁
My name is Marita and I live in Oslo, Norway.
I am a UX and graphic designer, makeup enthusiast, fitness junkie, foodie and dog mom.

I love sharing my everyday life in my full day of eating vlogs, do some challenges and recipe videos, but most of all I love to have the occasional cheat day. 🍩 Once the world is back to a more normal state, I will also do a bunch of travel vlogs so stay tuned for that! 😄

Coming to visit in less than two weeks! This was very helpful. Suggestions/videos for tourists who want to live like a local? Best grocery, best coffee…etc. Takk!
Glad to hear that! 😄 Thanks for the awesome video suggestions! 😁👍
OMG, Marita! Dette var fantastisk!🎉 Loved the style, the content, the smiles, everything!❤ I want to be there right now soooo much! The other reason they only show the Munch Scream works for a short period at a time is because the light exposure is speeding up their deterioration. We might be the last generations to see them in person.😱 We, too, aren’t big museum people, but that was a great one. Another great one was at Akershus - the WW2 Norwegian Resistance Museum, which covers the resistance to Germany’s invasion of Norway. Absolutely fascinating! I already had so much respect for Norway, but that increased it for me. ❤ You’ll have to go back to the opera house at night - it’s stunning! And they have one big wall outside near the top where you can have fun playing with massive shadows. 😊 Thank you for showing Frognerparken, one of my all time favorite places!🥰 Really, everything you showed was like taking a trip down memory lane from last year’s 3 weeks in Oslo. You did such a great job - this is a top notch tourist video! 😁 And it was so great to see you guys again - we’ve missed you! ❤
Tuuusen takk, Lisa!! 🥹❤️ Can’t tell you how much that warms my heart! I didn’t even think about that regarding the paintings! Makes sense because they told us not to use the flash because it would damage them! Now I regret not staying to see them all 😅 We’ll have to go back there again soon! Just the view from there alone is incredible! I don’t think I’ve been to the Resistance Museum before, but now I definitely will! I also love learning more about that part of our history! Also didn’t know that about the opera! 😂 We’re almost never down in the city center during night so I have never seen it. We both really want to go see it now though! 😄 Thank you so much again! You made me smile from ear to ear now 😁❤️ Hope you both have a great week! 🤗
Before I never had a clear idea what Norway would look like but thanks to your videos I have, and I just love the mostly clear blue skies, the cleaniness, quitness and colours of your city! ❤ I have the idea that the Norwegian folks are happy, polite and down to earth 😊 Your dinner was like half the price of the breakfast but the breakfast was a luxurious experience. Buffets are never good for me since I want EVERYTHING 😂 The sliders, omg, give me those now please 😍 Thank you guys for such an amazing tour of the city. I loved it and have missed you. It is a few weeks ago but I hope Matt has enjoyed his birthday. Have a great week guys and I look forward to your next one! ❤
Thank you! 🥹❤️ That makes me so happy to hear! I’m so glad that we get to share our city with you and that we can give you an idea of how it is to live here ☺️ The breakfast was about 10 dollars more than dinner. Maybe it came across wrong in the cards but all the prices were for us both 😆 But yeah, all the meals were amazing! 🤤🙌 Matt had a great birthday! 😁 Thank you again for your lovely comment! ❤️ Have a great week! 🤗❤️
this video definitely makes me put Norway on my travel bucket list 🛄🤩
Yeey! I'm glad! 😁😍
Great to see you two again. What a great video. ❤ It reminded me of our explorations in Oslo because we were definitely tourists. There’s a saying that people never explore their own backyard, and I was amazed that you two had never walked to the top of the opera house. Beautiful there at night too. I highly recommend the Resistance Museum at the Akershus Fortress. I wish we had spent more time there. Matt’s waffle looked sad 😢 without sour cream, but those “sliders” at Way Down South make me want to catch the next flight to Norway. 😮🤤 I look forward to more tourist in my own city videos. Especially, T-bahn trips to Sognsvann, Frognerseteren, and Ekeberg Sculpture Park. What a great way to start our week!
Thank you, Mark!! 😁❤️ Haha, no there’s definitely a lot I should have experienced here in Oslo, that I never have. Or haven’t done since I was a kid 😆 Made me want to do more in my own city. We will definitely test out the Resistance Museum as well! Thanks for all the recommendations! We’ll include those in the next one 😁👍 Hope everything is going well with the move! 😄 Have a great week! 🤗
Next week we are going to Oslo , thanks for the video. Greetings from Pula, Croatia
Hope you enjoy your stay! 😄
Beautiful city, my friend! Have a happy new week! Like 278 Greetings!
Lovvvve you guys, I live in Oslo too. You were amazing while walking down the streets.
Happy to hear that! 😄❤️
I didn’t realize how big your city is. It’s beautiful! Great idea for a vid. and thank you for showing your city around!
Thank you! 😄 So glad you enjoyed the video! 😁❤️
Very good!
Very good video. The changing of the guard has a full marching band once or twice a week in the summer, so recommend going there then. And... Eh... The historical museum over the new national museum???
Oh wow! What a great idea to be a tourist for one (😅) day in your own city! And Oslo has so much to offer! I felt kind of like a tourist myself discovering these things with you - you put so much effort in this video describing it all, it was a pleasure to watch!😁🙌 And the breakfast menue was an absolute DREAM😍😋👌 By the way, I was wondering if the company both you and Matt work in is your own? And do you have other co-workers? Have a good week you two (despite the awful weather😑🙄)!💛
Thank you so much, Maité! ❤️😁 It was such a fun day! The breakfast was definitely a highlight! 😍 Yes, it’s our own company. We are the only employees 😆 Thank you! Have an awesome week you too! 😁❤️🤗
Very interesting and helpful video for people who will visit Oslo for the first time. Thanks.
So happy to hear that! Thank you! 😄
You have a new friend! Cheers!
I loved how you also recommended a hotel with great buffet breakfast! That’s something I always look forward to! I’m wondering if you’ve been to Copenhagen and have any recommendations for hotels too?
Same! I always look for breakfast buffet pictures before choosing a hotel 😂 I have been there, but we only stayed in Airbnbs, so I don’t know of any good hotels unfortunatly 😬
I enjoyed your video. Thank you!!❤ 🇲🇽🇨🇦
That is nice to hear! Thank you ☺️
The cutest vlogs, love them 💚
Thank you!! 🥹❤️
Hi Marita, this was very helpful 👏 . We’re coming to Oslo in early March , our first time in Norway . Hope it won’t be too cold then 😊
Happy to hear that! 😄 Hope you have a great time here!

Thank you, that is so nice to hear! 😁❤️
Beautiful city
Thanks for this OSLO tour. Thanks, :)
Glad you enjoyed it! 😄
@@MaritaKvam now I know where to go once I am there :)
I got golden fish from CIMB Bank a long time ago.
Great video! It's time to visit again our neighbour❤
Thank you! 😁❤️
Tack för era tips! Jag ska besöka Oslo men kände inte till så många attraktioner, så era förslag passar bra!😊
Bare hyggelig! Ha det fint i Oslo! 😄
Great video! I’ll be visiting Oslo with my son this July. I haven’t been there since 1993, and it looks like it’s changed so much! Can’t wait to visit! Do you know if it’s easy enough to find vegan meals?
Thank you! Oh, how nice! Hope you have a great trip 😄 Most restaurants here will have vegan options. How many they have varies quite a bit 😅 You should be able to find the menu online for most restaurants here, so you can do some planning. 😊 Let me know if I can help with anything else!
Oslo has been on my bucket list for so long .I loved your video.I am thinking of going this December.I know it will be cold but hey I lived in Canada for 15 years I can take the cold😂.I have a question about Oslo in winter for you.Do the streets/ sidewalks get slippery or are they ok to walk on? I don’t mind snow but I hate icy sidewalks as I’m always afraid of falling😢
Thank you! 😄 Haha yeah, I believe we have very similar weather. It’s not usually that icy in December. But it’s hard to say how it will be this year 😅 We usually have more ice during January and February. I actually slipped on ice and broke my ankle in January this year 😅 But it shouldn’t be too bad in the city center in December.. hopefully 😅🤞If you decide to come I hope you enjoy your trip! 😁
@@MaritaKvam Yikes that must have been painful😢I would love to see more of your videos so keep posting 😂
Haha definitely was! 😅 Thank you so much! I will! 😁❤️
Your vital information is very helpful. I would like to know how far from Oslo central station? I would like to see the panoramic views of Oslo, Norway. Perhaps, be there for fall. Thank's soooooooo much for sharing. Florida USA ❤
Thank you! That is great to hear 😄 How far from Oslo central station is what? We show the central station in the video. It's in the middle of the city centre 😊 Hope you get to travel here some day!
Okay this is weird. I accidentally misspelled one of my favorite KZheadrs and KZhead results showed you. Nevermind I will subscribe u
Haha happy mistake 😂 Thank you!
Love to be here some day
❤❤❤❤❤I love to c u in singapore❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
May I know the location to take tram from Vigeland Sculpture to City center ? Inside the park ? Thank you .. very informative video .. I am going Oslo in July , hoping for good weather 🙏
There's a tram station right outside the main gates. 😊 The stop is called Vigelandsparken. You can find all public transport routes on Ruter.no. Happy to hear that! Have a great time! 😄
Great video. Which is the best season to visit.
Thank you! 😄 I guess it would depend on what weather you like, but personally I would say May or June (maybe also beginning of July). People are generally more happy then also because of spring fever. No joke 😆 We have such a long and cold winter that everyone is more happy in May and June when it's starting to become warm again. Also our national day is 17th of May, so the whole city is partying that day. And there's normally more sunny days in June and beginning of July, or at least have been the past couple of years. If you don't mind the cold though, I would say December is nice as well because of all the Christmas decorations. 😊
@@MaritaKvam Thank you for sharing the detail information.
I always wish I wanna go norway
How difficult is it to get around in winter? Is everything open?
Everything that I can think of is open. It's usually no problem getting around, but it depends on the weather. On days when it's very snowy or icy there can be a lot of delays and cancellations on public transport. Especially buses. The tram and the metro will usually be fine. I do not recommend driving in the city center in general 😅 If you're going up to the mountains I would recommend renting a 4x4 car 😊
Vakkert sted... I hope to visit Oslo soon. From the Philippines.
Hope you get to come here someday! 😄
Jeg vil til dette stedet, om Gud vil
70 euros for breakfast…?! 😮
Yeah, for us both though 😅
My advice is to stay away from hotel breakfasts, if they are not included in the accommodation. Instead, visit bakeries and other small cafes that serve breakfast menus at far cheaper prices. Spor av Nord, one example, breakfast buffet NOK 250.
I’ve seen that Spor av Nord has breakfast and have been interested to try that 😄 That is a good price as well! Other than them however, there are very few breakfast places in Oslo. At least that I’m aware of 😅
It's a palace, not a castle.
Haha true, I guess it would be called palace in English. The name for it in Norwegian is the Norwegian word for castle
@@MaritaKvam A castle is a fortified building or set of buildings so we have Buckingham Palace but Windsor Castle, both are royal residences but only the latter is fortified. Like many visitors to Oslo I was surprised that I could walk right up to the palace walls.
Yeah I know, the correct English term here is palace. What I meant is we don’t have that distinction in Norwegian. Both would be called the Norwegian word for castle - «slott». 😅 But yeah, luckily our Royal family doesn’t have many enemies so they don’t have to secure it that much 😄
@@MaritaKvam Thank you for the clarification. Despite the lack of Buckingham Palace style railings, I'm pretty sure the guardsmen would have put their guns to good use if I'd tried to walk into the building. 😀
Yeah probably 😆
That Munch museum is one ugly building 🙄🤔
I know!! 😩
