Wenche Rossvoll

I COME FROM JUST OUTSIDE OF OSLO AND I AM A TRUE NORWEGIAN.

I WENT TO SCHOOL TO BECOME A TEACHER. I HAVE ALSO SPENT A COUPLE OF YEARS IN NEW YORK, THEREFORE I HAVE DEVELOPED A LOVE FOR THIS CITY AND THE U.S, AND I HAVE TO GO BACK EVERY YEAR FOR MY N.Y. FIX.

I AM MARRIED AND HAVE A HUSBAND AND ONE SON. MY SON HAS LEFT HOME, BUT SO FAR NO GRANDCHILDREN.

I HAVE WORKED IN THE TRAVEL INDUSTRY FOR 37 YEARS. I HAVE WORKED THROUGHOUT EUROPE AND SCANDINAVIA WITH AMERICAN GROUPS AND THE REST OF THE WORLD WITH NORWEGIAN GROUPS. I LOVE TO BE WITH PEOPLE AND I FEEL I HAVE A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR THAT AMERICANS CAN RELATE TO.

AS A TRUE NORWEGIAN I HAVE TO SAY WE HAVE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAINS AND FJORDS IN THE WORLD, AND WE MUSTN'T  FORGET THE MIDNIGHT SUN IN THE SUMMER MONTHS AND IN THE SPECTACULAR NORTHERN LIGHTS IN THE WINTER.   

HAVING DONE OVER 100 TRIPS WITH THE HURTIGRUTEN OR AS WE SAY IN NORWAY “THE COASTAL STEAMER” BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY THAT I LOVE THIS COASTLINE AND I SEE SOMETHING NEW EVERY TIME.

I AM NOT A FAIRY TALE GUIDE SO FOR ME IT IS IMPORTANT TO BE HONEST AND TELL IT LIKE IT IS IN NORWAY…… THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY!
