Silje

Sometimes one unfamiliar word opens up a whole story.

I write about Norway's culture, history and language. I am interested in the questions that come up as you get to know a country: where a name came from, what a custom means or why a holiday is celebrated that way. These stories can add something to a city walk. When they involve the festive table, I also contribute to our food section.

Topics I write about: Culture, history, celebrations and language, Cities, routes and transport, Food and drink
