Since I lived in Norway, curious about the culture and tradition of this country, I thought that I am definitely not alone here .. Nothing could be further from the truth ...

I will introduce myself in a few words - Agnieszka, I love dogs, literature, an occupational therapist and beautician by education, a passionate journalist.

And who are you?

The land of fjords - the land of milk and honey?

Po arrival in Norway I met new people. Not as many as you think, but there's always something. Thanks to this, it occurred to me to say what kind of environment Polonia is. Creative, diverse, working in literally any position and anywhere. Fulfilling your dreams. Just like I did.

It takes time to come to something good. Patience pays off.

Polish diaspora in Drammen- I thought that if I did not find a job immediately after my arrival, I would risk the so-called hate from new and old friends. That it shouldn't have mattered to me, I didn't understand until now. I will definitely mention such behaviors one day. Positive discussion is worth its weight in gold these days!

Polish community in Drammen. Football player, teacher, hairdresser, or maybe dentist?

What does it mean? The fact that we operate on various levels. In Drammen, which I am quite close to, I met Polish football groups, a Polish pastry shop, a Polish hairdresser and a Polish beautician. In a word - we are here and we do a lot.
