About Roy Helge Rasmussen
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I live in the southern part of norway and can find my way around most of the country. I will answer questions about social life, culture, language and politics to the best of my knowledge. I am not so good at travel tips outside the south-eastern parts, although I will try to answer.

Experience
I live here and have been guiding members of my family around when they visit from abroad for years.
