Victor is so naturally hot that he can easily cope with the cold weather in Norway.
Haha
Yaaaassssss😍
And since he's standing beside Ronald... that's saying something!
🔥
He's an introvert. Perfect for Norway socially.
@@polanco187 Good one! So true, lol!
You have to envy those students that are just starting out in their careers.Especially those foreign students, every thing is new and different. I would change with them in a heart beat. Good to see you Ronald and Mads.
Hehe, I understand what you say ;)
It was great to meet Victor and hear a bit about foreign work in Norway! Thanks for posting- we have missed you!
You’re missing the most important part, does he pack matpakke for lunch?
Haha, of course. He is a smart student
Try that being your lunch living in in Deliverance; from the first to seventh grades. In Deliverence a foreign parent isn't condondoned.
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY But does he put Piri Piri sauce on the matpakke ?
I guess...he does tortilla!!!! For sure or a bocadillo de jamón.
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY hi, would you mind sending me your email address Plz.
Such a fun video! Best of luck to Victor!
you guys make the most useful videos for someone far away who loves Norway and wants to know more. Thank you!
Very cool to hear! Thanks for being nice. Cheers from Ronald and Mads :) :)
Loved learning something new.
Cool to hear. Thanks :)
I feel like this was a very helpful video for students for looking to find work in Oslo. If I was a young student I would definitely take the advice. Plus it was great to see you guys again
Cool to hear! Thanks. Nice to hear from you too :)
Loved this vid. Always happy to see you posting. Hugs :)
Your videos make living/studying/working in Norway look wonderful. It's easy to see, and hear, how much you love it there.
So happy to see my two favorite Norwegians ❤. Thank-you for sharing more of your beautiful Norway. 😘🤗, 😘🤗.
Hehe, sometimes it can be dark too here ;) Thanks & hugs 😘😘
What a cute guy and intelligent and natural in the interview. Thank you for both taking the time to help others. Best of luck to all students and sojourners trying to make their way in a foreign land.
Yay!! You’re back! Great video, now I’m tempted to live in Norway!
Cool to hear! Welcome :)
Thank you uploading this! Just in time! I was thinking about looking for a job for summer. Hope I would find one.
That's cool to hear. Good luck and welcome to Norway
Thank You, this was a fun video and very helpful!!!
Cool to hear! Thanks Quik Silver :)
Nice to know that Spanish people can be introvert too!
Hehe, agree
He was probably adopted and was never told. 🙄
Haha
I have never seen such a thing 😅 maybe why he left 😅😅😂
You know where to put your finger on my friend. Good Video. More like this one plz 👌👍👍👍
Enjoying a sunny and not quite windy Sunday with the new Oslo's Museum of Edvard Munch at your back: great place for a nice video promotional take.
That's awesome!! Way to go Victor!
👏👏
Wasn't he fantastic? Very impressive and super calm 🎯
@@scandinordic yes, Victor has the composure of someone older, although he is a young student, very true!
This advice is quite useful and some of these I never thought of (getting a local phone number). THANKS VICTOR! He really does know everything.
Cool to hear Kira L N. Thanks for sharing :)
This is why I subbed !
Really interesting video!
Great interview. Well done!
Thanks :):)
Great video, guys! Ronald and Victor were very informative to those seeking employment in your country. Of course, Victor is so likeable, it's easy to see why he'd be hired. I admire his determination to secure a job related to his education. The info about hours of work is helpful for those outside the E.U.., as was his comment about interacting with Norwegians. Great questions, Ronald!
Your next video should showcase Mads dancing the Flamenco 😆.
Hope your next video is not so far away. We miss your humor and sarcasm.💖💖
Tusen takk SANDRA 😍😍 He really is impressive in that sense. Haha, it will be!
I love Ronald's videos but I think he should now tackle Sweden. I wonder if Norwegians are paranoic about caronavirus, that could make a funny video.
Ronald and Mads are working such long hours at their jobs, that the closest they may get to Sweden is via Ikea, Swedish fish, or Swedish friends!
Hi, Ronald and Mads! Wish I had seen this when I was 20 and in college. I was learning about languages and cultures all the live long day. Now at almost 65 years old, it is not clear how I would work there...
I`m 54 and boy, is it a different world whit all this information every where. Crazy.
I just turned 69 last week and I would love to live in Scandinavia. I visited Copenhagen last year with my daughter and we absolutely fell in love with the hygge vibe there, the quiet saneness. The Danes are so chill, well-educated, soft-spoken and polite. The streets are spotless and there is a sense of quiet order (the only ones jaywalking were the tourists!). The Danes are very calm, and they respect and follow the rules. As soon as my daughter and I returned to the States, it was like re-entering chaos. I always feel so calm and happy whenever I'm traveling in Europe or Scandinavia. It's just a whole different vibe. I hope to visit Norway someday. I love their feisty independent nature and quirkiness. I'm a little quirky myself. 😉
This was funny and adorbs!😂💗👍🏻 Seems like a good plan for getting work there. Big props for all who can do...the thought of winter there physically hurts 😂-I’ll b somewhere warm but sending u guys 💗
Haha, I understand what you say. So far, this winter has been like a mild spring happening 🙏
Y'all deserve more subscribers that what you have! Although i don't comment muxh on y'alls videos, the are fun and informative to watch.
Thanks for being cool! Cheers from Ronald and Mads :):)
Awww, Victor is just precious! ^_^
Hei Ronald og Mads. Haha! I was studying in Oslo- a few years ago, well ok, many years ago, so been there, done that. Thanks for a great vid. Stay safe in all this crisis. Tusen Takk. Johnny og Mor. Northwest England. UK.
GOD JOBBE 👍💖 That was super interesting and Victor explains everything very well. Also good that Ronald asks the questions to the camera, very helpful and good for contact with audience. GREAT WORK 👍🌟🎯👊💯✔💖
Hehe, thanks Julia :)
All the good jobs are in North Norway.
A useful program for foreign students going to Norway to study. Your Spanish friend Victor is so personable, I think that he would not have any problem finding a job. Good to see you guys today. I have been having a craving for anything Norwegian! Take care and Happy Travels! ♥️🛫🌐
Hehe, love the "craving.. " part. You too. Thanks & cheers from Ronald and Mads :) :)
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY Your reply took some of the"edge" off! LOL! ♥️🇳🇴
Querido Ronald, tus videos son geniales!!! Me encantan... Aprendo muchísimo..... Yo trabajo en mi taller escuchando música; videos y películas para que mi día sea más llevadero y son más en español que en otro idioma.... Tus videos los veo cuando tengo un poco de tiempo para poder traducir y entender mejor..... De todas maneras igual soy una fans de tu trabajo y de todo el aporte que entregas... Mi felicitaciones para todo el equipo. Un abrazo gigante desde Iquique, Chile
Hola Georgina 🤗 Me encanta tu respuesta y tus comentarios! Significan mucho y son muy motivadores. Les deseo lo mejor a usted y la familie. Grande abrazos desde norte del mundo ❤
I missed yall videos sooo much!
Sorry for that. We want to make more, but no time.. Thanks for engaging. Cheers from Ronald and Mads :) :)
I love the wind baffle for your microphone! So Norwegian!
Hahaha ;)
Nice to see you again Ronald and Mads. I would like to see what the inside of nail salons look like in Norway (in case you were wondering 😉).
Hehe, it's noted Gina. 🥂 from Ronald and Mads
Amazing video... someday in life , going to help me out
Cool to hear 13 13. Hopefully sooner then you think 🤞🤞
The video is quite helpful! Could you also try to make a video about the good schools in Oslo where foreigners can learn norwegian language?Tuen Tank:)
Looooove your videos !!! Klem fra Brazil!!
Olá todo bem. Muito obrigado :) :)
amazing! makes me want to try.
Welcome to Oslo. We are waiting for you. Thanks :) :)
The mobile number works rather well not just in Norway, but everywhere :) Thanks for this video!
Fun vid! Oslo to Barcelona is only 27 hours by car. Wow - Norway IS CONNECTED to the EU by ferry AND the euro! It’s 26h Boston MA - to KeyWest (tip of Florida). All on the same interstate hi way.
Yes, we are very close connected to EU. Even though we are outside, we are a part of the inner market. Thanks Robert :) :)
The ride from Miami to Key West feels like you're driving to Europe! . But it is pretty. 🏝🌅🏝🍹
OK, not bad and a leeeeetle bit informative and I understand if you two are busy because there has been precious little content from you.
Hehe, spot on Dan B. We are planning a new video..
Good advice no matter where you live!🌸
True :)
awesome video
Thx 😊
I was in Oslo last week and i hope you make more videos about Oslo, where to buy food in the sentrum, and the nice buildings, ..
Hei Huda :) We will!
Excellent 👌
If you were studying in the north of Norway at Alta then you could get a job in the reindeer abattoir.
My uncle Buljø owns the fish processing plant in Hellfjord and he says there is many jobs available for students.
Good advice for job seekers
Thanks AntBee :)
It is always fun and informative to watch your videos. Could you upload more videos about your traditions, food, dislike, likes, etc about your culture. thanks
Yes, we will. Next up is about that :)
You're back!! Hey everyone! YourWay2Norway is back!! Bring your matpakke and have a seat at the table. We can enjoy our lunch again.
Haha, you are sweet! Thanks. Cheers from the matpakke gang ;)
I'll dance flamenco for you Mads 😍🤷♀️😅
I just graduated from Morocco as an IT, and I'm searching for an opportunity. and your videos are helping me a lots! Keep going. Could you do a video about people who got a job in Norway from third world countries and how they did it?
Oslo is amazing I've already applied to 2 Uni
Cool to hear! Welcome to Oslo :) :)
Such a cute interview.
Thanks :)
Soo much sarcastic yet too much informative...I'm from Bangladesh and got selected in UiO's informatics faculty for master's.. I'll be coming to Norway on next January(Would be August, but travel ban 🙄)
I would say without your vlogs i wouldn’t have slightest knowledge about anything on Norway..
Thanks, keep these good things up..🥰🥰
That's awesome to hear Taskin! Both that you like our work and that you will study here In Norway and Oslo. Welcome to Norway and thanks for sharing your story with us. See you soon! Cheers from Ronald and Mads :):)
Missed you wild and crazy guys. Welcome back! Pass the hot sauce🌶, it's Taco Tuesday here in U.S. Whoo-hoo! 😋🌮🧡🌮🧡🌮
😋😋 3 more days before our taco party starts. Big hugs from the two of us
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY 😘🇳🇴
yeah ambrose you're correct if he pack is his matpakke for his food eirther lunch or anytime that he wants,
nice content
Thanks MisterTracks :)
💖 from Texas 🇺🇸 😊
Very good. Interesting. Thanks guys! PS Made you are crazy!!!!!🙃😜😜😜😜😜😜😜🤘🏼🇳🇴
I know that Victor only wanted a job related to what he is studying. But if he wanted he could teach Flamenco dancing on the side. I think Mads would be his first student!
Haha, true. It would be lines of introverte Norwegians wanting to learn his 🕺 skills. Maybe Mads too. Or maybe not ;)
Hey,
Thanks for the wonderful content.
I want to know if it is possible to convert a visitor's/tourist visa to a study visa in Norway?
Please help
LOVE! This was so useful on so many levels. Plus I have the image of Mads dancing flamenco burned into my brain. It is NOT pretty! (Only joking Mads :)x But the Welsh girl has a question: You mention that EU students can work as much as they like but non EU students are limited in how much they can work. Is that to do with agreement/arrangement Norway has with the EU? I'm just wondering as now Britain has left the EU, how it would affect British students wanting to work and/or study in Norway.
Yes, it is due to that agreement. We are a part of the inner market but from outside. Thanks Sophia 😘
I have listened that Norway is best place for reasearch and development in electrical field, is it true ? And please also tell that will I face language barrier there, I only know english
Ok you have done the Norway premonition video, now can we have the usual "YOURWAY2NORWAY" craziness??? 🤪🤯🥳😝😂🤣🇧🇻🇧🇻🇧🇻🦌😉😁👍
Haha. Of course. Meanwhile, we work hard. Victor too ;) 🍻🍻
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY don't we all! 😉🍻🇧🇻👍
We love it when they do a "post pub" walk home 🤣🤣
If I study business management what is my related field I could work? Since I have experience in furniture and upholstery making is that deem fit to apply for as a business field?
I am going to bergen as an exchange student next year! I hope i find a job there
Hope so too🤞🤞 Welcome to Norway :)
Thanks for uploading the video (still waiting for Julia's bit Ronald :) I don't think it's possible to get a white collar job without speaking Norwegian. Careers in finance, banking, law or construction probably require you to speak at least business level Norwegian and learning a new language takes at least 5 years. But that shouldn't deter anyone from studying in Norway. You can complete a bachelor or master level degree in Norway for free and there are many programs taught in English. University of Oslo is well respected and tuition free for both EU/EEA nationals and internationals. That is truly amazing, those people are super cool for doing that (just for comparison, my uni in the UK charges twice the amount for internationals.) Please thank the commissioners of this video on my behalf. University is not a place to look for work it's there for people to learn. Final question: are you going to make a video about the student visa application process, accomodation and general expenses?
5 years seems a long time. If someone needs to be fluent quickly in a language they can get there at least halfway quickly, there's lots of methods. One is to learn the 50/100/1000 most common words and join community organisations that embrace Norsk culture. It is possible to be at least semi literate in a matter of months with time and persistence
In finance I think English would work, but maybe not law and construction. 10 years you had to speak Norwegian in Victors job, not any more. E is taking over. Cool to hear about what you like about our school system. Thanks for sharing! Julia is in the pipeline. Hehe, not sure if one vodeo is enough for your last questions..
In Canada, where I live, no one and I mean no one charges less than $50 an hour for violin lessons. I have been looking on finn.no to see how much people charge for violin lessons but I can't seem to find any. The nice thing about teaching music is that people come to your home for lessons - you don't waste time traveling around to your students' homes. Does anyone know how much people typically charge for music lessons (violin and piano) in Norway ?
Question how is one able to juggle 20 hr a week job, school, studying, personal time while also having enough money to have a place to reside in along with utility money etc?
Hello! How much did he get paid for a month on average?
Useful advices though my current problem with norwegian professors can be summarized as different understanding. While they try to be short but concise it is difficult o deliver the true purpose when you write a paragraph and receive a sole line then something definitely is misunderstood that need you rewrite another email. Pls tell us how academic position recruit PhD scholars thanks
Omg, where have you been guys? Xx
Working to much in real life.. Nice with a break. And planning a new video :)
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY aww good, missed you handsome boys!! X
We always look forward to your videos to hear ya'll talk not to listen to music. Please tell me this is temporary and that all the future videos aren't going to have music while you beautiful fellas are talking 💜
We will continue creating yourway2norway content in our style. This video has been a step towards how to handle relevant sponsored content, giving us possibilities to create more. Next up will be in our wrapping. That said, we do hope a lot of people will find it useful. Thus, adding more crazyness to the content will be our mission. Best Mads 😊
Curious about his accomodation arrangement & visa...
There is a link in the description, that can help you with your questions. Welcome to Norway!
YOURWAY2NORWAY I'd pack my bag, but--there may be a slight delay! lolz! See You Soon!
This video made me wish I was forty years younger for two reasons. First, so I could go to Norway as a student and take Victor's advice. Second, because Victor is hot! Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.
Haha, love your comment! Thanks. Victor says hi ;)
how are you supposed to apply with a norwegian phone number if you tell us to apply before even reaching norway?
So we can also be a pilot in Norway as a foreigner?
I think so.
Probably. Might take a bit longer though.
where does Victor study?
What do norwegians think about mexican people? I plan to study in norway in 2 years.
I dont want to be racist , but Im white with brown hair , I think that might help on not getting racism.
Im also affraid on not getting to know people and spend my whole bachelor alone.
Great videos!
Hola EL PATRON. Norwegians are not latinos. But you will be okey here. We have taco friday. We drink beer. But we don't dance. Mom is from Chile. And she want to stay here. Bienvenido:)
YOURWAY2NORWAY Thank you very much for responding , I hope everything goes well. Im not the typical extroverted Mexican that drinks every day and dances 🤣🤣. I dont like alcohol and Im kind of shy.
Thanks!
Now that my British passport in all but useless in Norway, and my US passport has always been thus, I'll be getting an Irish passport so I can come live with you guys. Well, not WITH you guys, but somewhere close. I expect a nice hytte or småbruk somewhere in the countryside. And I won't be looking for work - I'm ready for a nice quiet retirement!
Hehe, living in a småbruk is not quiet retirement ;) Welcome to Norway mr New Irish Dude Walsh 🐑🐑🐑
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY Tusen takk! But it will be a few years yet. Men du er velkommen til å besøke når jeg kommer!
I follow you channel to learn English and know about Norway. I will be there after finishing my bachelor's. Love from Bangladesh. Can i have anyone who like to practice English?
Yes, I would like to practice with you. I am from China and graduated from English Major in University. Do you use Wechat?
So, what about your first accomodation ? How can poor mo fo like me find some rooof over my head for first couple weeks? Im electronic engineer(tech school), also worked as an electrician for like 10years, and know automation, 3d design, programming, cnc, metalwork, and all other tech things are my beloved topics. So question is: is there possibility to find a job in this area with accomodation for beginning ?
Yes, there is! Many affordable student homes around Oslo. You can have it when you arriewe. In the description there are some links to where you can get more spesific info & help. Hope to see you here soon Miklas
I agree about wanting not to get a common job. But in my experience, getting a job in your field (even for part-time job) is like a nightmare, especially if you’re not from engineering study.
Still, I really suggest foreign students to keep learning Norwegian as English is never enough to land you a job you want. Even for a position as a waitress in a good restaurant, Norwegian is still necessary :)
Hi Nin A. I think you are right: Its much easier for engeenering and IT skilled people to land a job only speaking English in most parts of Norway. I think it is a different situastion in Oslo. When I am out eating, more and more waiters are only speaking English. The same when I get a haircut at Cutters. Sadly, you have a different experience, so I am not categorically at all. Crossing my fingers for you! Thanks for sharing your experience and advices. Cheers from Ronald & Mads
YOURWAY2NORWAY hi Ronald & Mads, thank you so much! :) After applied for around 50 student-job applications, I got to some interviews and finally hired!
One of the biggest restaurants in Oslo turned my trial (prøvevakt) down just because I have no sufficient experience of being a waitress. Yet, I communicated pretty good Norwegian. So, jepp, nothing is easy :)
Hello I can get residence permit for learning Norwegian Language for living in Norway?
Ask the link in the description. They will answer you. Welcome to Norway :)
I applied for a position at Oslo University, it said they need ppl from my country for i donno some crew diversity. 28 ppl applied, and they rejected me. I Checked and the guys they accepted were both Norwegians. I was a poker face the whole day. I mailed a complain but they did not reply anything logical. It seems to be hard to find a proper job in Norway. Good luck out there.
I know that it can be difficult, also for Norwegians. You send your appmication and hear nothing.. The university has to have a public notice when they need ppl. But many times they already have people in mind, people that are already working there.. Don't give up. Good luck to all of you 🤞
If I was 20 and not ,35 maybe I would have tried it over there , as it stands one day I want to visit !
Thanks for the video !

While I'm really glad to see a new video, I'm afraid it's on the same day that I'm filled with sadness at hearing that Norwegian music legend Jahn Teigen has passed.
So true.. The whole of Norway is mourning today. That said, he leaves so many great songs to listen to in many years to come ❤

Can understand that..
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY I hear uk is kicking people out... My Canadian friend as been living here for 4 years and she has to go back and reapply for another visa... In the USA if you been living there for 5 you can get a permanent residency visa. Now the uk is changing laws us brits have no idea what its like for the Europeans and non living here.
