About Oslo By Ole

My name is Ole

My Story:

Think of this as visiting a friend in Oslo and not a tour.

I’m Ole, a lifelong resident of this city. Oslo by Ole shows you the hidden corners, quiet streets, and local cafés I share with friends. We’ll explore on foot, just like locals do. No big groups and umbrellas up in the air, just relaxed, personal walks through real Oslo.

If you’re curious about what’s beyond the typical tourist trail, I’m here to help.

Over the years, I’ve worn many hats: cabin crew, Disney World employee, airport representative, and now a proud permanent learning disability nurse. I value small, meaningful encounters: chatting with locals, discovering tucked-away cafés, and learning street stories. My walks are for the curious. Whether you're with friends, or as a couple, you’ll feel at home. Oslo by Ole is a safe and welcoming for all regard
