I’m in Europe on an extended trip and wanted to go to the Norwegian fjords. I wouldn’t be able to make it there til late September but concerned it’d be too cold to enjoy. Should I just postpone the fjords til I can do them in the summer?

I am European and my partner is Norwegian - spend a lot of time there. (Specifically, some of his family live along the fjords.) September is a great time to visit but definitely check you have some good wool jumpers etc just in case there's a cold snap.

October is when the transition to winter would shorten your days and make it a bit uncomfortable if you didn't have specific gear for cold and wet weather.

However, if you were to visit another time, I would recommend May. May 17th is their national day and it's incredible to be a part of. The days are usually pretty warm and bright by then but there aren't as many tourists in the fjords (or flies in the mountains if you want to go hiking).

If you stop off in Oslo before heading to Bergen/Stavanger/Trondheim, make sure to see their Viking museum! It's only a short bus ride from the centre.

Enjoy exploring Europe!

Thank you so much!!

I love the fjords I’ve been a few times. You probably won’t do much hiking in September but you can still see them and it’s totally worth it. I personally prefer to fly into Bergen and spend more time up there. Definitely do a boat ride through the fjords

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.
