Hei Hei! My name is Pål Bjarne Johansen, and I am the founder of Norway with Pål.
I was born in Norway many winters ago on a snowy day in December. For the last 8 years I have been tour guiding and doing book research for Rick Steves. Before that, I did tours in Spain for several years taking Scandinavians to experience what I consider my second home.
I am a passionate traveler and have traveled extensively in North America, South America, Europe and beyond. In addition to travel I do plenty of sailing in the waters of Scandinavia. I am also an authorized local guide in my hometown Oslo.
This company is my own project, and I share my passion for Norway & Scandinavia with all those who are interested in this part of the world. I also design and give tours that gives visitors unique and memorable experiences of Scandinavia.
I hope to travel with you!
Pål
