Norway is amazing – and also a bit of a puzzle. It's easy to end up with dozens of tabs, the same "top 10" lists, and no idea which places are actually worth your time.
Gowme.travel exists to make this simpler.
We're a small team based in Norway (operating as Gowme AS) and every place you see in our maps is either personally visited or manually researched and checked – not scraped or auto-generated.
Leading the way is Fluffy™, our knitted puffin with a red beanie and backpack, who has already "flown" all over Norway with us: from Lofoten and the fjords to remote corners in the north.
What you get today
Right now, Gowme.travel focuses on one thing and does it well:
- A hand-picked collection of places in Norway – viewpoints, routes, walks, photo spots, towns and experiences.
- All of them are curated by humans, based on real trips and careful research.
- You receive them as a clean Google Maps / My Maps layer, so you can use it directly on your phone while travelling.
No endless lists, no guessing. Just a focused set of spots that actually make sense for a real trip.
Our main goals
As we keep growing Gowme.travel, we keep three simple goals in mind:
- Make it easier to find the most relevant places for you
Help you quickly see the spots that match your interests, instead of scrolling through generic recommendations. - Help you save money and time
Share practical tips on where it's worth spending, where you can safely skip, and how not to waste days on the wrong detours or logistics. - Offer fair partner deals for travel
Gradually introduce partner discounts and offers that genuinely add value to your trip, clearly marked and quality-checked.
Our motto is simple:
Travel more, pay less!

Why Norway?
We decided to go deep, not wide.
Norway is where we live, travel and run our company. Distances are big, weather changes quickly, and planning "by Google" can easily lead to wasted days.
Because we are here on the ground, we can:
- Judge what's realistic in a given number of days
- See which places are truly worth a detour
- Understand how a route feels in real life, not just on the map

Fluffy™, your knitted guide
Fluffy isn't just a mascot – it's the friendly face that reminds us what Gowme.travel should always feel like:
- Helpful, not pushy
- Curious, not generic
- Focused on your trip, not on selling you as many things as possible
Fluffy's mission is to guide you through Norway in a way that feels personal, smart and a bit playful – while still respecting your time and wallet.
