DISCLAIMER:
Solo traveling is not for everybody and surely not for everywhere! Personally, the many years of traveling, hitchhiking, couchsurfing and field research have honed my intuition when it comes to people and places and I am good at omitting sketchy or suspicious ones. Also unlike many places in the world, Norway is very safe, so it is not a big risk taking.
TIPP:
If you decide to do a solo trip send regularly your locations (especially at night) to a trusted person. It will not hurt if somebody is informed.
