💸Shopping guide
1️⃣ Arc'teryx hunting mission!
Visited 5 stores in a row, don’t just stick to Oslo, found great deals at Lofoten harbor shops
2️⃣ Luxury shopping on Oslo’s main street, buy without hesitation
LV/Chanel tax refund 17%, even better than Paris!
3️⃣ Drugstore shopping list
ACO, the affordable Nordic champion, stock up on face cream and body lotion without hesitation
Fish oil brands Mollers and Nycoplus, the latter highly praised as gifts for elders
👗Outfit survival tips
❌Avoid all-white outfits! You’ll instantly become invisible in the snow
✅Bright down jacket + windproof waterproof pants + snow boots are the way to go
✅Wool hat + touchscreen gloves + ear muffs, missing any one will make you freeze to tears
💡Hidden gem
Choose a north-facing window room in Tromsø homestays
Wrapped in a blanket, you can watch the aurora; the green light explosion at 3 a.m. makes it totally worth the price ✨
This guide will help you avoid all the pitfalls I fell into 💙
