>How expensive is it to stay at a small Norwegian village for like a month?
depends on when (summer peak vs any other season)
depends on your expected standard of living / what you want to do

a month might be possible to get a proper rental instead of AirBnB / vrbo or similar
like check on
>www.finn.no
for example
a realistic budget for decent 1 bedroom is probably ~1500€/month
lower if you rent longer or are fine with a very small apartment
higher for popular tourist locations and during summer
~2500€/month if you want to be safe (including utilities)

food is like ~50% more expensive than in like Sweden or Germany
usually you get by with ~450€ per Person per month
going out is even more expensive
especially alcohol, like a beer is easily 10€+ at a bar

transportation is expensive as well
you likely need a rental car (~1000€/month)
bus / ferries are usually okay (for remote areas) with multiple connections per day but you need to plan your trips around them and some cool places are unreachable

while it is possible to live on like ~2000€/month
that's deep poverty level though
4-5000€/month is more realistic
but again only in the off season, summer will be difficult if you only stay for one month

Very expensive.

I don't know what it is about this backwater shithole country that makes otherwise sane people want to visit it and pay exorbitant prices for the privilege. Why do you want to visit a inbred fishing village for a whole fucking month? It will rain, the people will glare and actively be alarmed by the presence of someone outside of their microcosm of understanding.

Norgay is good for one thing and one thing only /out/doors.

If you want picrel for cheap you're better off living in Alaska/BC. Norway is completely FUCKED in prices.

As someone who frequents norway, once the "WOW THAT LOOKS COOL" runs out, you basically realize why everyone has nothing to talk about from norway

Some Reddit American recently went on a long tirade glazing Norway as a utopia while shitting on America for being a poorly developed shithole by comparison. Turns out he was staying with Norwegian friends who evidently treated him like a VIP. Maybe he was a scientist or something. doing research in Norway. They'd love that a lot more than an aimless wanderer lurking the streets staring at everyone trying to make awkward small talk.

Is Alaska or Canada really that much cheaper than Norwegia?

I have friends in Bergen and around Oslo, I take the train down between the two to various towns. Yeah having friends to pick up the mundane is almost required unless you want to become an alcoholic or just really really like playing video games.

>Is Alaska or Canada really that much cheaper than Norwegia?
In depends what you're looking for, you can easily get EBT+gov housing assistance in Alaska whereas norway will shrug at you especially if a foreigner who isn't imported from Africa. Renting/owning a car is a hell of a lot cheaper too. Job market is also a bit more diverse than lots of those small towns.

You can find apartments/rooms in southern Alaska or Juneau or along there for cheaper than anything in norway lmao.

>better off living in Alaska/BC. Norway is completely FUCKED in prices.
>t. never lived in either
prices are pretty similar across the board for standard things
you ain't gonna save money living in Alaska

quite the contrary for permanent living
if you use public transport a lot and want to travel from there (i.e. to Europe),
Norway will actually be cheaper because you don't need a car and budget airlines cover all of Europe

only thing substantially more expensive are cars

and if you want to live in a more rural village
Norway will win in every category
food is gonna be cheaper (fresh food by a lot), and connectivity a lot better
because government subsidized infrastructure

>>2907001
>Is Alaska or Canada really that much cheaper than Norwegia?
it's not
Anchorage is slightly more affordable than Oslo
but as soon as you leave bigger cities, Norway is gonna be similar or better

>>2907005
>You can find apartments/rooms in southern Alaska or Juneau or along there for cheaper than anything in norway lmao.
absolutely not
show those cheap apartments in Alaska
because everywhere except Oslo & Bergen you can easily find decent smaller 1bd apartments for ~10000 kr / ~$1000

job market (excluding Oslo) is shit in Norway though
that much is true

You have to have constant sex with Nordic women it's horrible.
I stayed in Lappland and they always demanded to use me as a human dildo and that I stay with them, even cooked dinner each night and get in the sauna with me or else before demanding multiple creampies it was like a horror movie, even worse only 3 hours of light a day.
I would not recommend staying in a remote village, my penis was red raw, I busted in at least 4 old Swedish women too, thankfully none got pregnant, it would be impossible to explain to my family.

Best way to do it is Facebook market place for better deals but eh. This is barring any section 8 assistance which is piss easy to get

For the gov benefits the US provides are bar none if you don't mind shaking off your pride to exploit the system, especially to AK residents you overall get cheaper shit than if you try to juggle the stuff in Norway.
>1 person: $3,258 to $3,260 per month limit
And you can still get EBT 300/mo, and qualify for cheaper internet/healthcare/tax brackets/etc. I know what I am talking about here anon as I had a roommate who took a job up there for 40k/yr, his take home qualified him for dem programs. I spent a lot of time helping him look shit up so he would thankfully move out.

Last time I was in Bergen my friends were giving me shit about the USA so I brought up Anchorage as a comparison, showed them walmart+rent+gym+car prices and while inflated were still cheaper than the cubes you'd get there.

Also keep in mind income tax in AK is 0% which means you really make way more working simple BS jobs than anything in Norway. IIRC all said and done you are looking at 35-40% after pension/healthcare/general income

>>2907085
ignoring the room, the apartments are pretty much the same on what you would get in Norway outside Oslo and city centers
$1000 is a very realistic budget for a small apartment long term

comparing government benefits only makes sense for citizens
you have them in Norway as well
but we're on /trv/ so I'm not assuming you have a passport of wither country

>in Bergen my friends
>showed them walmart+rent+gym+car prices
your friend are probably rich / detached from lower prices
groceries certainly are not more expensive in Bergen, everything fresh fruit / vegetables is cheaper
rents, like I said, very similar, gym and car is more expensive in Norway though

>>2907089
>income tax in AK is 0%
that's the real advantage
if you have to work, Norway will almost certainly be more expensive (in terms of disposable income after essential expenses)

for OPs original question that doesn't matter though
if you just want to travel there for a month or two, you're only concerned about cost

also for a full comparison (for long term living) you have to think about what you DON'T pay in Norway (as permanent resident /citizen)
which is only fair if you look at gov benefits already
>norway has fully covered public health insurance (Helse Vest for Bergen)
>norway childcare is capped at ~2000kr/month (~$200 vs >$1000 in Anchorage)
>generous fully paid sick leave / parental leave / unemployment and other benefits mean you don't really need an emergency fund in Norway
>automatic pension is decent in Norway
and Norway will never reduce those public services because of the ginormous oil fund

in other words
if you spend 100% of your net income, aka live paycheck to paycheck
in Norway you're gonna life a decent life
in Anchorage (or anywhere in the US for that matter) you will suffer greatly

I'm not saying you're better off in Norway
but it's not as easy as "0% tax means better"
