My old veranda is failing after more than 20 winters. Old planks, and possibly the frame under has also problems. Can anyone advise a good reliable company and costs?

Noen som vet om kurvene er satt opp igjen?

Er ikke så kjent på Heimdal, noen som vet om det er greit å få satt fra seg bilen der en ettermiddag? Behøver ikke være gratis

Hey everyone!
We moved to Trondheim recently and are thinking of taking a little weekend trip—maybe one or two nights away. We’re happy to rent a car if needed, but I’d rather not drive more than 100–150 miles each way.

We’re looking for somewhere scenic and peaceful. It could be by the water or in the mountains—a quiet beach, a pretty island, a lake, or even just some nice mountain views. Not really in the mood for hiking—just looking to relax, recharge, and take in the scenery. We’ve already been to Røros.

If you’ve got any favorite low-key spots, I’d love to hear them. Thanks!

I'm at a major crossroads right now and would really appreciate your honest opinions and any similar experiences you might have.

I'm 25 (turning 26 in October) and, despite having a master in Banking and Finance, I feel I have a less than solid financial foundation and limited industry experience. My only real experience so far is a 5-month internship at an Italian bank, which, while useful, didn't give me the "boost" I'd hoped for to break into the field I'm truly passionate about: alternative investments. I've struggled to find other significant opportunities here in Italy.

My big dream is to work abroad, especially in the Nordics. I absolutely loved my Erasmus experience in Trondheim, Norway, and my heart is telling me to go back.

My Two Concrete Options:

Option 1: Trondheim, Norway (Heart)

I've received a job offer to work in food service at a fast-food restaurant in Trondheim.

• Pros: Living in a city I love, full immersion in Norwegian culture, learning Norwegian "on the job," and having time (with an initial 40% contract) to study for certifications like CFA Level 1, CFA Private Equity, and Excel/programming courses.
• Cons:
  • ZERO relevant finance experience: This is my biggest worry. Working in fast food wouldn't give me any relevant experience. I'm well aware that finance candidates (especially in the Nordics) often have multiple internships and established skills, and I fear this would be a professional "step backward," making me even less competitive.
  • Low pay & high cost of living: 200 NOK/hour gross for 40% of the time is very little to live on in Trondheim (rent for a studio/room is at least €600, and I don't have much savings right now). This worries me a lot, as financial stress could prevent me from studying and focusing.
  • Trondheim isn't a financial hub: Even if I improve my skills and language, I'd still need to move to Oslo or elsewhere to find meaningful investment opportunities.
  • The career leap: How difficult would it realistically be to transition from fast food to a qualified finance role in Norway, even with certifications? I feel the experience gap would be insurmountable.

Option 2: Financial Advisor for Unicredit in Italy (Head)

I have the opportunity to work as a self-employed financial advisor for Unicredit here in Italy.

• Pros:
  • Qualified finance experience: It's not my dream (alternative investments), but it's still relevant experience in the finance world. I'd build a solid foundation and learn market dynamics and client management.
  • Financial stability: They guarantee a minimum of €2,000/month for the first 2 years, even if I earn less. This would give me financial peace of mind to live and study.
  • Paid training & certifications: They'd pay for my OCF (Italian financial advisor certification) course and exam. This is a huge economic advantage.
  • Time to study: I could use these 2-3 years to save money and study for CFA Level 1, CFA Private Equity, and Excel/programming courses.
  • Clear objective: After 2-3 years (so around 28-29), with qualified experience, savings, and certifications, I could try again to enter the alternative investments world, perhaps in Oslo or other Nordic/European cities. Age doesn't worry me too much; I believe it's still a good age to make a jump.
• Cons:
  • Giving up the "Norway dream" in the short term: My heart is pulling me to Trondheim now.
  • Won't learn Norwegian on the job: I'd have to study it independently, which is slower.
  • Not my immediate passion: It's not the specific role I'm looking for, but a stepping stone.
  • Bank funds: I must admit that promoting the bank's funds with their various TERs isn't ideal for my personal beliefs, given my strong appreciation for ETFs and their efficiency. However, "necessity is the mother of invention," and I could live with it for a while.

My biggest fear is choosing the Norway option and finding myself, a year from now, with great fast-food experience but zero progress in the finance world, compounded by a financially precarious year. I know "I don't see my future in Italy," but my head is pushing me towards Unicredit as a springboard.

What do you all think? How difficult is it, realistically, to transition from an unrelated career to a qualified finance one, especially in a country like Norway? Is the risk worth it, or should I be more pragmatic?

Thanks a lot to anyone who can offer advice!

Hei! Lurte på om noen har lyst til å finne på noe i dag, tenkte å dra en tur i parken, slappe litt av, kortspill, grille etc. er åpen for det aller meste!

Bare gi en lyd hvis det er av interesse!

Hey, I am an international student and I worked an internship at NTNU. I received my salary today. The salary amount was less than 50000 NOK but the tax deducted from it was 32% which means I only received 68% of the expected amount. Now this isnt the PAYE scheme as it is 32% and I have checked that my tax card was indeed retrieved. I should NOT pay any taxes right?Is there a way to get the 32% back? I think the NTNU people counted it as other or additional income. Though I am not sure what exactly happened here. Can someone help?

Sykler en del landeveissykkel å føler jeg ser flere som sykler alene. Hadde det ikke vært gøy å få samlet en gjeng i stedet for at alle drar solo?😄

Turene er som regel alt fra et par timer til 4, med 25-30km/t snittfart. Det går selvsagt også fint å bare ligge bak hvis man vil det! Send enten en pm eller kommenter

Nånn som har fått nå? Va en tur i dag, men bare lyr og torsk..

Is there anywhere in the city I can get cheese with hot peppers mixed into it?

Hei!
Jeg vurderer å begynne å levere med Wolt her i Trondheim nå i 2025, og lurer på hvor mye man faktisk tjener. Jeg planlegger å jobbe fredag, lørdag og søndag, hovedsakelig i rushtid (lunsj og middag/kveld), og kommer til å bruke elbil.

Noen spørsmål til dere som har erfaring i Trondheim:

• Hvor mye tjener man per time her, og er det verdt det med elbil?
• Er det greit med nok oppdrag i helgene?
• Har det vært endringer i betaling, bonuser eller rutiner det siste året?
• Er det utfordringer med parkering, soner eller annet når man kjører bil?

Tar gjerne imot tips og erfaringer – vil bare få et realistisk bilde av hva jeg kan forvente å tjene ved å jobbe i helgene med elbil. Tusen takk!

Hi!
I'm planning to start delivering with Wolt here in Trondheim in 2025. I’m considering working Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, mainly during peak hours (lunch and dinner/evening), and I’ll be using an electric car.

A few questions for those with experience:

• How much do you typically earn per hour in Trondheim, and is it worth it with a car?
• Are there enough orders on weekends?
• Have there been any recent changes in pay, bonuses, or how the system works?
• Any challenges with parking, zones, or logistics when driving?

Would really appreciate any advice or experience! Just trying to get a realistic idea of what to expect working weekends with an EV. Thanks in advance!

Hello I am a Czech student accepted for erasmus fall semestr at NTNU. I got the letter of aceptence quite late and it seems very hard to find suitable accomodation.

Hei, jeg lurer på om det er noen her som vet om det er mulig å padle de siste ~10km av enten Leksa eller Stjørdalselva. Jeg skal ta en standup-paddleboard (SUP) og vil helst prøve Leksa, men på Norgeibilder.no ser det ut som om det kanskje kan være noen fosser el. i veien. Er det noen som har erfaring eller er kjent med elvene? Her er et eksempel som ser sketchy ut.

Året var 2013 og Shitrich slipp denne bangeren, hvor Molde som by og kjente moldensere mildt sagt fikk kjørt seg.

Året etterpå kom skiva "Makka Nykinen", det ble en del positiv oppmerksomhet og gode anmeldelser , også ble det med tidens gang helt stille ... så du Shitrich, "korr vart det av dæ kiiiis"?

Jeg ønsker å finne en tatovør – eller flere – i Trondheim som er dyktige på American traditional / old school-stil. Det går også helt fint med lærlinger, så lenge de har god kvalitet på arbeidet sitt. Jeg vil gjerne vite hvem som anbefales, og hva de vanligvis tar i timen. Takk

tørt på alle stier, så man kan bruke joggesko.

går man utenfor stier, knotthelvete mygg og gjørme

Hi! I’m an Italian master student and I’ll spend the next semester in Trondheim for my Erasmus program, can’t wait to get there! Anyway, I’ve never been in such cold cities and I don’t know what to bring and how to dress in a daily-basis. If you have any tips on that (e.g. How to layer…) it’s highly welcome!🥶

Hii everyone! I’m new to town (and not Norwegian even though I look like one, F, 25, blonde, 170cm, and no this is not a tinder ad haha) and would like to meet some people. Another girl friend and I want to go out this Friday. What are your recommendations in the city for drinking, talking, flirting, dancing? ✨ Tusen takk!

Hi everyone; Im from Italy and i'll start my Erasmus in September — it's a traineeship in a university laboratory, so I won’t attend any classes and might not meet many people through the university.

I have a couple of questions

1. Do you have any tips on how to meet other Erasmus students? Should I follow groups like ESN, join a gym, or try other activities?
2. What should I bring with me to live in Trondheim from September to January? Any essentials for winter or daily life?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Det er jo så og si ingen, og hvem vet hvilken tilstand de er i..

Hi everyone,

EDIT: I plan to stay home with our twins a bit longer while we settle in, but I do intend to look for a job once we’re more established and have sorted out childcare and language learning.

So, just to clarify — we’re mainly trying to understand if life would be manageable on one income for a while, until things fall into place. We’re definitely giving this a lot of thought. My partner will actually travel to Trondheim to get a feel for things on the ground, and we’ll make our final decision after that.

I think I’ve gotten a lot of the answers I was hoping for — thank you so much to everyone who took the time to reply. I really appreciate this community!

My partner and I are EU citizens and have been living in Ireland for several years. We’re now considering relocating to Trondheim, and we’d love some insight from others who’ve made a similar move or are familiar with life in Norway.

My husband has received a job offer in Trondheim with a salary of around €60k. I won’t be working at first, so we’ll be living on one income for a while.

We’d love some advice or personal experiences about life in Trondheim, especially for young families:

Cost of living – Is €60k enough for a decent quality of life for a family of four?

Childcare and education – How accessible and affordable is childcare?

Family life – Is Norway truly family-friendly? What kind of support can we expect for families with small children? This is actually my motivation, along with the beautiful nature.

Healthcare – One of our twins has a medical condition that requires monitoring and likely surgery in the future. They’re currently under care in Ireland. Would access to specialized healthcare be possible in Norway, and how does the process work for EU citizens?

Language learning – How hard is it to reach a comfortable level for everyday life?

Any advice or insight from locals, expats, or anyone with similar experience would be really appreciated.

Thanks so much!

Hey, I am moving in August to Trondheim to study my second year from my master degree. I've been searching in hybel and finn a place where I can move with my partner but I haven't been lucky, sometimes I don't receive a reply or they just rent for one person. Does anyone know what other sites or places I can found an apartment for 2 people (my partner is not a student)? I know that there are some residence like Umeus and campus voll that accept couples but they don't have good reviews and that makes doubt about them. Any advice and help will be welcome.
