Description
Letters from Norway offers commentary by an American living in Oslo, covering news, politics, and economics, interrelating life in both countries. I moved here in 2013 at age 42, looking for a change. My background includes a degree in engineering, an MBA, service as a US Naval Officer, and working for a major Wall Street firm. Since moving, my life has changed a lot. I made many observations about life on both sides of the ocean, which I share in my broadcasts. Moreover, I am working on a novel called "A Middle Aged Man's Guide to Divorcing in New York and Starting Over in Oslo."
