Buying a house in Norway isn’t the end of the journey — it’s the beginning. In this episode of Moving to Norway, Darcy and I begin the massive task of restoring our 130-year-old home in Bergen. Unfortunately, we quickly discover that the house comes with secrets. Some are charming, but many are costly. In this series you will see us stumble and succeed. But the real focus is on what we are learning along the way — how to balance heritage with modern life, and how a house can shape us as much as we shape it. The house may drive us crazy. But it’s family now.
