Denmark is so opposite of Norway. Its flat, many beaches, and a very relaxed people and atmosphere. And its a relative short journey. So yes, many Norwegians love Denmark (including me)

Hi Tyler, I am a Norwegian. My dad was American, born in DC. I have loved the US for many years and have worked in several US states. I have visited at least 30 states. Now, we are really scared about US politics and what is going to happen in the near and distant future. I drive a Tesla and have a new bumper sticker that says, "Sorry, I didn't know Elon Musk when I bought it." I like and visit southern European countries and Sweden.

1. The interviewer is Danish, Norwegian picks up on that and says Denmark very easily. Tho, a lot like Denmark, It's a popular holiday destination that's close. Also, Denmark is different from Norway yes. 2. Most will answer European countries due to the fact that's where we mostly travel. For example when you have the experience from a country, you answer based on how nice your days were over there on holiday. 3. Some of the people that answer in this video comes from another country and will answer their home country, as expected. 4. Lot of Norwegians own holiday houses in other warmer countries. It's maybe not common, but i know several that do. Cheers!

I'm Norwegian -- and as far as I know, nobody expects anyone else to understand Norwegian, so if you want to go anywhere in the world, you basically have to learn that language. It's just much more effective that way. Myself, I can speak English, Spanish, German and French, which covers most situations that may occur. SOMEBODY always knows at least one of those languages wherever you go. As for the USA? Yes I've been there, but I prefer to say "no comment".

I visited Phoenix, Arizona for 3 months in 2015 and I could feel the tension in the air. A woman I got to know handed me a knife, telling me I couldn’t go around alone without a weapon to protect myself. Apparently a guy high on drugs had just invaded a home and decapitated the owners around the corner from where we lived (gated housing community). I gotta tell you I don’t really feel the itch to go back anytime soon with how things are going over there in America at the moment. Now Thailand on the other hand I can strongly recommend. They know how to be efficient when they need to and how to live in a slow pace. I love that country and its people. Land of the smiles

Denmark is a fabulous country. We have an apartment in Copenhagen. The country and her people are lovely. We go for a long weekend whenever we can. We regularly cross the bridge from Copenhagen to Malmo. Our daughters spend whole days out exploring Copenhagen on their bikes with their Danish friends. We regularly travel to Canada but avoid the violent, bigoted and intolerant US, like the plague. We haven’t set foot in the US in a decade and it’s highly unlikely that we’ll ever return. The Afghan Taliban are more reasonable than their U.S. equivalents.

Hello from Norway... I personally like all the Nordic countries and maybe Canada... You need to get on a plane to Europe to take a couple of weeks round trip... I promise you, it's worth it. I've been to the US, Nashville and Memphis... I've seen The Houses of Memphis with Barbed Wire Barriers Between the Houses... The overly poorly maintained city of Memphisa all the shops with signs on the door with the inscription "no guns allowed in this shop" A huge contrast to Nashville with its more well-kept and service-friendly city... but your food... Seriously, you really need to take action to get more real food without all the weird ingredients and additives you put in your food... Even their hamburgers certainly didn't taste like meat, but something strange, indescribable. And in Memphis it was impossible to buy anything other than half a pig floating in barbecue sauce and a bunch of fried potatoes and the whole city smelled like barbecue sauce. It's not that we don't like the United States, I liked the United States before, but you have changed.... Now, there are many places in the United States that have a tense atmosphere that doesn't feel safe. There are guns everywhere and an awful lot of noise.

Most people I know here in Norway have actually visited the US at least once in their life, yet I feel most wouldn't put it at the top of the list of countries we love. I think the mindset is just so alien to most Norwegians, perhapd even most Europeans. Americans are very loud (Norwegians are not), materialistic, nationalistic and come across as very superficial. Visiitng the US was a great expereince. Lots of sights, great hotels, lots of kind people as well. Yet I never felt at home there. So I would second the opinion of many in the video. I much prefer countries like Denmark, Spain and Greece.

People pick up on the Danish accent. But also know that Denmark spent a lot of money on getting Norwegians to visit. Everyone who were adult and grew up in the 80s and 90s know the motto "Det er dejlig at være norsk...i Danmark" (it is great to be a Norwegian in Denmark) and would probably half sing it to the jingle tune. They have Legoland, everyone could communicate (except for the names for numbers which is structured on 20 instead of 10 as in Norwegian and Swedish, it is easy to go bicycling vacation in Denmark and it is just a nice ferry trip away from most of Southern Norway. Personally I love Sweden; the exchange rate is on parity; in Denmark it is 160 to 100 (or something like that) so everything is expensive there, as is many Euro-countries. Sweden is nice for camping, shopping if you are near the border and we have to drive through it to get to the north of Norway (unless you have unlimited time to drive through Norway) Some of those interviewed probably have family from the other countries, that's why I might have answered the Philippines. Yes, Norwegians have apartments or houses in Spain, France, Italy, very popular if you can afford it. I did love the US :) I had a wonderful time there driving from NY to Ohio, then back through Pittsburg and all the cities from Washington to Boston via New York. I loved Canada when I visited Winnipeg once. And in New York I was a bit ill on the subway and there were people who were concerned for me and offered to help me, so very impressed.

Denmark have an EU EURO opt out and have not adopted the EURO and Denmark cannot be forced to do so, agreed and written in by the parties, however we have decided to relate, inside a self decided band, to the EURO. While I am at it. Finland have adopted the EURO. Sweden eventually have to adopt it, Sweden have not secured the possibility of an opt out, so will happen some day and this are heavily discussed politically at this time. It basically might come down to predictions. Swedish Kronor are not strong atm. but that are not same as it will strengthen over next years and the stability of joining the EURO might be preferable in a trade respect over waiting a decade or more for a marginal better lock in. Norway are not an EU nation so no EURO there. Norway are an associated "EØS" nation thus many Norwegian goods and rules follow EU´s. I am pretty sure Norway´s business regulations in export heavy sectors, are more EU aligned than, say, the old EU nation of Italy´s that are no master of ratification.

I also love USA but I was only on Newark in New York for around 2 hours before I took the next flight to Costa Rica that I really loved.

10:25 I don't think it's mainly the closeness that affect this. Sure, it's cheaper and take less time to travel to Europe for Norweigans, but most people I know have visited countries in other continents too. I have been in Africa, Asia and Australia myself, plan to and probably will visit both South and North America some time before I die, as long as I live a fairly normal life span. Norweigans have at least 5 weeks of paid vacation per year, I think that's one of the main reasons we are used to travels. Many Americans have maybe only 2 weeks. And as far as I understand, many also have trouble getting the vacation cleared by their employer far enough in advance to be able to book flights, get a visa for countries that require them and so on.

Norwegians and Swedes are brothers, while Denmark is like the older brother but has another father. Yes we rival, but we are best of friends. Norwegians understand Swedish like 80-90% and Danes like 50-70% if they talk slow, but they got to count in English. Danes talk like Norwegians, but they have a stuffed potato in their throat.

Lots of Norwegians also love the USA; it's just easier to travel around Europe. Denmark is especially popular, as it is just an hour away on a plane from most of southern Norway. You can also hop on a boat that will take you there in a few hours. Denmark is popular among families with children, as it has Legoland and several "summer-themed" parks with water slides, etc.

I've never been to USA myself - but it is the country I'd love to visit. The flight makes it too expensive - certainly for a short trip - and with a longer trip, the expenses over there increase too. So it's strictly a question of economy, as I imagine for a lot of other as well.

And yes as a scandivian i would say its very very normal to see a ton of countries before you're 18. I went to 15 countries before i was 17. Most was to ski and the rest to do some political stuff. And no it was my mum and her friends that did the political stuff. I just cared about hanging out with the local girls.😊 Saw some cool things around Europe though. Hadrians wall in the 70s. A castle that had the round table they claimed was King Arthurs round table for his knights but yeah, it was old but who knows where it came from. Its not like all thay stuff has been verified 😅 Went round Skotland on foot as a kid too and did a lot of hitchhiking around the Loch Ness area. Went to Greenham Common to demonstrate against nuclear rockets in England in the early 80s. 82-83 or so I think. Slept up in the moutains in Basque country in Spain in 1981. Met some nice students and they took me up in a land rover to stay in a fancy telt. Met some cool girls that took me to a turkey farm. My mum had gone to Bilbao so I decided to do the girls idea... Loved the Spanish girls.. had a few crushes down there. One more than all the others. Her parents owned the local bar BAR MADRAS.. a great name to say in Danish. 😅

It is quite obvious that the interviewer is Danish. I think someone said Denmark just because of that.

You should come to visit Norway some time, Tyler. You can visit Oslo and go to Sweden one of the days, and you should then go to the west of Norway and the North. 3-4 weeks should be enough to see most of the country. Norway is a long country, ut a lot of it is just mountains and woods and fields. There's sooo many fields here. If you try to learn some Norwegian words the Swedish people will probably understand depending on how wrong it sounds, most Americans just can't do the sounds, so maybe you should learn Swedish, and the Norwegians will understand, and if you visit Oslo you will probably meet a lot of Sweds working in restaurants and hotels. If you go to Sweden just across the border a lot of Norwegians will work there in the shops at Nordby Köpcentrum. (A big shopping mall located at Svinesund in Strømstad in Sweden. Norwegians go there to buy sheap groceries and tobacco and alcohol, especially alcohol. We call it Harry handel. It was a Norwegian politician that said it was Harry to go shop in Sweden, and since then it has been in the Norwegian language and everyone knows what it means, instead of saying you're going on a daytrip to Sweden)

Like you are saying with your own word. We are just having friendly rivalry. As an Norwegian it's very easy for us too understand Swedish or Danish, but they struggle too understand us. Most likely because we have seen few episodes from different tv shows from their countries and we have been travel too these countries more then they have because it's been cheaper for norwegians till last few years and most likely they haven't seen movies from Norway that much. It's only been last few years Norway has been good at making movies. And it's a reason United States ain't pointed out so much. It's too much homeless, and the streets don't feel safe for us norwegians. Remember here can we have the kids alone in the streets, but couldn't do that in United States and with that and all of the crimes we are seeing in United States, it's crazy too me that someone actually wan't travel too United States when you can find so many other safe countries. And too completely honest i'm not seeing United States too be attractive at all. The landscape looks horrible for the most part. And most of us has either one family cabin in norway or outside Norway like Spain are popular because the winter we have in Norway. So alot of people need to get out of that some times.

Norwegian here who has been to 30 countries, among them USA. I am not surprised the most common responses are Denmark and Italy, I would probably answer one of them myself, joined by the UK in third place. I believe the reason why you don't hear many say America is their favorite country has to do with American politics and politicians. That topic makes it so "uncool" to answer America to this question that I believe some wont admit USA is their favorite country to visit (even if it is). Americans in general is another matter. I believe that most Norwegian has nothing against Americans in general and actually love to welcome them here as visitors. I also personally know several Norwegians who goes to Florida or NYC over and over so some Norwegians definetly has USA as their favorite country to visit. Also keep in mind that just because one country is someones favorite doesn't mean that that person doesn't like other countries. I really enjoyed my visits to USA and I am planning to visit again. I haven't yet visited a country I totally disliked, all countries have good and less good qualities. So why Denmark? It barely feels abroad because Norwegians and Danes are like brothers. We understand each others languages and even were under common rule for 400 years and thus have similar cultures. However Denmark has a lot of the things Norway lacks and vice versa. I really like danish food, drink, design and the general relaxed atmosphere there. Copenhagen rivals London as my favorite city (other than Bergen of course). So why Italy? Italy has everything: beaches, sunshine, apls, snow, some of the best food and wine on the planet, history, the coolest cars, fast trains, incredible cities and breathtaking scenery. What is not to like? Why the UK? I don't know, I just always have a great time there! As you say European countries are small in size and it is pretty easy for most of us living here to boost the number of visited countries quite easy compared to a person living in North America. That makes the comparison a bit unfair I think. I think it is more accurate to say I have been to 29 countries and 6 US States than I have been to 30 countries.

I`ve never been to Italy, but I`d love to go and find some local restaurants, and take LOTS of pictures, so much beautiful architecture in Italy, so much history too. (and I wouldn`t come in a cruise ship, those poor coastlines smh) I`d also love to visit Vietnam, Thailand and Japan, I still haven`t gone to Ireland either and a friend has friends in Dublin, so we might go not too long from now, well, probably not until spring lol. I like Sweden too, Gamla stan (the old part of town) is beautiful and *easy* to get lost in 😋 That being said, there are many places in the US I`d like to see, honestly too many to list here, lots of awesome nature and cool architecture and museums and theme parks and concerts and sports events, like drag racing and monster trucks and X Games and driving Baja bugs and the list goes on, *so* much cool stuff.

I have always wanted to go to America. I think since a girl in my class in 2.st grade went there and she actually had a whole class about her trip to America, she showed some pictures from Disney World and she spoke about how they had a car race on the highway. I didn't understand how that was possible until they built a 4 lane motorway here when I was grown up, cause in my head you would crash into someone else and it sounded dangerous to me. I always played with my Barbies as a kid and I just wanted to go to where Barbie came from. I still would love to go there but maybe some other states and for other reasons than Barbie. I think the reason for those people not mentioning America is not because they don't want to go there or anything, but that it's so far away and it cost more money, so it's probably the same as you not going outside America because it's all there, we have everything in Europe and it's just a few hours to fly there or you can even go by boat and a car. People say that if you flip Norway upside down you would land in Italy, I don't know if it's just a myth or true. I now some people that goes to America all the time, and they have been there at least 20 times, other people I know have been there also more than one time, and I also know people who currently live there and people who lived there for years and liked it very much, ut had to come back to Norway when they got old and I'll. I haven't been much outside of Norway, but I also prefer Denmark and Sweden. I've been to England on a language summer school for three weeks when I was 17, and I liked it very much except I got sick and have been sick since then. I've also been to Germany and Prague and France. I don't speak a lot of other languages, but I can understand and speak some Swedish and understand Danish (not all of it), and I learned German in school, but I don't think I would be able to have a conversation, but I understand some words and can figure out the meaning, maybe. I think I could just speak English, even if I don't speak English very well, I think most people would understand what I say. My English was much better when I was in England for three weeks and had to speak English on a daily basis, and in the school we wasn't aloud to speak Norwegian. One day I had forgot the key and couldn't get in and I started to have a nose bleed, but this neighbor lady took care of me until the lady in the house I lived in came home from work. It was very embarrassing though. I was very shy and didn't have the guts to speak to any of the other neighbors, and they weren't very friendly either, but maybe they thought I had been in a fight since I was sitting there with my nose bleed. I just had a severe allergy that I didn't know about, but the lady I lived with took me to see her doctor so I got medicine and was much better from the allergy, but it was just a few days before I was going back home. I would love to go back to other places in France, I went to Paris, but I want to see more of the other places along the coast. I'm to sick to go, so it probably won't happen, but it's still a dream, and no one can take the dreams away. I would love to go shopping in America too, not having to explain what 12"x12" paper means, and to be able to get products you can't get here, and to buy clothes and bags from brands that is to expensive here.

It will be as if an American traveled from New York to Florida, but you would have a big advantage, and that is the language, we Norwegians are very willing to learn the language used in the country we are holidaying in! But the most popular countries are probably those on the Mediterranean, such as Italy, Greece, Turkey, Spain++++.

It is most definately also very Norwegian - or possibly Northern European. One example is a stereotype is of elderly sunburnt/pink, German men with beer bellies and too tight speedos walking around the beaches and tourist hotspots. In Alfaz del Pi, near Alicante, there's one of several Norwegian "villages" with around 8000 full or part time residents that are Norwegian citizens. To some extent there are similar things around other places in Mediterranean bits of Europe, but in particular Spain (including the Canary Islands off Morocco). It is slightly comparable with how in particular elderly Americans spend winter in Florida (or Arizona) - without spain having quite as wild stereotypes as the infamous memes about Florida man. In "modern times" (from late 90s onward, at least) I'd ssuppose the most "British stereotype" would be connected to wild partying on Ibiza or other Spanish isles in the Mediterranean.

You were asking about why the US has not been mentioned. Well I think a lot of the Norwegians have been thinking about visiting but a lot of people have not visited. Right now the value of the Dollar is quite high so that is good for Americans that wish to travel but not the other way around. And the flight time is around 10h just to go to the east coast of the Us.

Dont get me wrong we love Denmark and there is even a saying "Its lovly to be Norwegian in Denmark". I would say Switzerland is more like Norway if you "have to" compare another nation. My favorite so far outside Norway is Thailand and im supriced not more people answered that since i know alot of families that go there every year.

I have seen some of your videos, and you are so impressed about Norwegians know English. Then you need to know that a lot of English words, more than 900 comes from the Vikings. We ruled UK in many years, prior to that you had the Germanic and Romans influence. English is built on other languages. Words like knife, bag and words starting with sk, sh, th are words originated from Scandinavia. A lot of city's in the UK have names originated from Scandinavia, like York, so NewYork orginates from Scandinavia. The oldest parlament in the world, you have at Isle of Man and it was started by the Vikings from Norway, And if you look at your weekdays, three of the days are named after the Norse God's. Like Thursday after the God Thor. In the alfabet we have tre more letters than in English, Æ,Ø,Å. But in old norse you had more, you had letters that today you write in English with Th, that used to be one letter in Norse. Like in the, them, they etc. Words like are, we etc orginates as well from Norse.

I love travelling to USA. Im coming in 5 weeks :) But not many Norvegians go there compared to Europe. 1 week holiday for 1 person including hotel and plane is about $750 during summer holiday. Sometimes in sale you can get it for as low as $200, sometimes cheaper. Going to USA it is like $1000 just for plane tickets. And with so expensive dollar as now, more than double in 10 years then it is very expensive going on a holiday to USA. Hotel and food is not cheap compared to european contries. I believe more people will go to Asian countries do to cheaper cost of living.

AND going to USA without a serious travel insurance can endanger your personal economy for decades should something bad happen. USA are now considered so dangerous and expensive (especially healthcare) should something happen that international insurance companies put travel insurances to USA in same risk bracket as if you travel to a country at war and price reflect that. I am NOT kidding, check it out.

It's hard to say America because America is too versatile. Your states are larger than our European countries. And there are so many different cultures in America compared to here in Europe. For instance, if you want a business city filled with depressed people, you move to NYC. If you want a bunch of snobby white trash people, you move to San Fransisco or Chicago. If you want amazing nature, healthy and happy people, you move to one of the southern states. I have a major soft spot for the deep south. Georgia and Florida are amazing. They've got the lifestyle of 1980's Scandinavia, but often more "down to earth" and physically active due to their farming culture.
