Unlock the best of
Norway with us!
Our mission is to help our community feel more informed and connected to Norway. Through first-person resources and community-driven initiatives, we aim to make Norway not just a place to live, but a place to call home!
OUR STORY:
When our founder, Gabriella Mikiewicz, moved to Norway in early 2022, she quickly realized that life here comes with a learning curve.
Finding community, understanding local norms, and navigating daily life wasn’t easy.
As she started discovering all there was to know about life in Norway, she wanted to share some of that "insider knowledge" that makes life here a little smoother for newcomers.
What started as a passion project has grown into a trusted resource and community for thousands of internationals across Norway.

Founder, Content Creator
Gabriella created Unlock Norway to make life in Norway easier and more welcoming for internationals. Having lived in 11 countries, she knows how tough it can be to navigate a new place. She’s passionate about sharing practical tips, cultural insights, and local experiences to help others feel more at home. When she’s not running Unlock Norway, you’ll find her ice bathing, exploring cozy cafes, or uncovering hidden gems across the country.

Events Coordinator
As the Chief Events Officer (or CEO, as she likes to call herself) of Unlock Norway, Hannah brings people together through community events, meetups, and unique experiences in Oslo. Passionate about sustainable fashion, social impact, and karaoke, she’s always dreaming up new ways to make Oslo a more inclusive and exciting place to live.
