- After graduating in Drama and Theatre Arts half a lifetime ago, Neil has been a wearer of many hats: actor, teacher, translator of contemporary drama, mushroom controller and now expert guide. He is an Oslo citizen of more than 30 years' standing, with a wide range of interests encompassing all things natural, historical and cultural. Indeed, whether exploring Oslo's urban sculpture parks, introducing travellers to the waterfront's architectural flagships or searching for botanical rarities on the inner fjord islands, Neil is equally at home: a 'general expert' you might say (if you were a lover of oxymorons).
