Founder and Editor-in-Chief
He has lived in Norway since 2007. He has experienced all stages of immigrant life, from the first job and administrative formalities at government offices to building his own projects. Therefore he writes about NAV, taxes, and employee rights not only based on regulations but also from personal experience. Since 2012 he has actively helped Poles in Norway and worked to promote a positive image of the Polish community. He organized many events and social initiatives. He also created a Polish-language classifieds service intended as an alternative to finn.no. He has been active in Norwegian Polish media since 2017. Listeners of Radio Wataha know his voice, and as an editor of Twoja Norwegia and Wataha.no he provides the most important news from the country of fjords. He combines radio experience with modern online journalism, turning interviews and the latest news into multilingual articles. He doesn't like boredom. He specializes in dynamic feature reports, interviews with interesting people, and coverage of major events in Norway. He believes that modern migrant media should inform, integrate, and provide real support every day. Privately, he is the father of three sons and the grandfather of a granddaughter. Since 2025 he has been a Norwegian citizen.

Are you starting work in Norway? Don’t leave your skattekort for later. Without an available tax card, the employer must withhold 50% of the salary. Check how to submit an application, when an ID-kontroll is required and what to check before your first payday.

Are you staying in Norway for at least 6 months? Check when you need to report your move to the Folkeregisteret, which documents to prepare, where to book an ID-kontroll and when you will receive a fødselsnummer.
Some will call it contact with the world of the dead, others intuition, a spiritual experience or the workings of the human mind. Dominika "Domi" from Sarpsborg says she sees and feels the presence of deceased people. Before we ask her in an interview what it looks like from her perspective, we examine what mediumship actually is, what science has managed to investigate, and why experiencing something extraordinary does not necessarily amount to proof of the existence of ghosts or to illness.
Construction, cleaning, caregiving, warehouse work, long hours driving a car or a whole day in front of the computer. Different professions, but often the same outcome: a stiff neck, tense shoulders and back pain. Natalia Gołębiowska, a massage therapy technician working in Norway, explains what problems people most often come to her with and where massage ends and a situation that should be evaluated by a doctor begins.
Are you a citizen of Poland or another EU/EEA country and moving to Norway? Check step by step when you can start working, when you must register with the police and which formalities to handle at Skatteetaten.
D-nummer and fødselsnummer are two Norwegian identification numbers, but they do not mean the same thing. Check when you can receive each of them, who issues them and what to do if you are just starting work or moving to Norway.

Your Norway is not just a portal with advice. It is a place for Poles in Norway — our businesses, schools, histories, problems, successes and everyday life. In five languages, with audio playback of articles, a services map and step-by-step guides we show who we are and what part of Norway we already are today.
Do you have a mortgage, consumer loan or other debt in Poland, and do you file tax in Norway? Interest can reduce your Norwegian tax, but it all depends on your tax residency, your income and whether you have already claimed the deduction in Poland.
