Hi Karen!
I'm not in Bergen yet... but my Norwegian partner and I (both female) are planning to move there in about 16 months and I also want to make friends to make the move less scary!
We'll be there this summer for several weeks just for a visit, and I'm hoping to meet up with some people and start building a community.
I realize that isn't immediately helpful to you -- but at least you can know you aren't the only one!
Where are you moving from?
We currently live in Vancouver, Canada. I'm Canadian, but actually have spent only 12 years (out of my total 35) in Canada. I grew up in Toronto and several European countries, and then lived in different parts of the U.S. from when I was 18-31. And now... getting psyched up for another big move.
Peace,
Yael

Hi Karen!
Another recent resident in Bergen letting you know that you're far from alone. I live here with my fiancee and am a visiting researcher at the University. I'm originally from New York but have also lived in South Africa off and on. Where are you from and how are you finding Bergen? Would definitely love to meet for coffee/tea discuss experiences pointers etc.
Helsing fra meg
some of the 5 words i know. hehehe

I think Nafeesa is interested, too! And my partner Birgitte will probably come.
Who else, y'all?

Hi everyone,
A few of us meet up quite regularly now so next time we meet for coffee I'll post the details on here. It will probably be over the next few weeks although I am in the UK at the moment and won't be back till next week. Is everyone free to do daytime?
I hope you are all settling in. I think it is daunting moving to a new place but having made some lovely friends already it has made it so much easier.
Hope to meet up with you all soon

Hi Michaela and others,
I'm in a similar boat -- we're moving to Bergen in 2011 and I'm not yet sure when. I'm hoping that I get a particular academic job I have applied for, in which case the move would be in the Spring. Otherwise probably in the Fall. But when my partner and I visited Bergen (where she's from) this past December we met up with Karen, Gierde, Nina, Nafeesa and Lisa and it was fabulous -- I'm actually more excited than nervous to move now.

Haha, Yael it makes me chuckle to think of that afternoon in the bar where we all met up for the first time - such a "loud" bunch of women!! And what good fun!!
I'm trying to organising us to start climbing mountains at the weekends together to get fit because all our Norwegian partners are all looking at us like we're mad!!
Anyway, Michaela, I look forward to meeting you in the spring. It is a huge thing to move to another country but you've done the right thing by looking for contacts early. It will make it so much easier.
Feel free to message me if you need any advice I'm sure one of us ladies will be able to help

Just to add to the great feedback everyone has been giving.. hi Michaela and everyone esle! As Karen and Yael have said it has been really wonderful to meet these great women and have someone to hang out with, talk to, vent to ..hehehe. Moving is challenging and they have truly made my experience here easier. Though these walks up the mountain might make my legs cry! LOL...
Seriously, a warm welcome from me.. I look forward to meeting you guys who haven't yet joined us and hanging out here in Bergen!! To those who haven't yet arrived, good luck with packing!
