Brief Explanation

The Great Escape This summer, a couple from New Zealand, Marela and Sam, went on a trip to Europe. As it turned out, they were not the only ones. After battling crowds of people and selfie sticks at the Louvre, a somewhat disheartened Marela commented on the experience on Instagram. Through the initiative The Great Escape, the couple was "rescued" to Oslo for a less crowded city break. They were served delicious food and wine, tried stand-up paddling on the Oslo Fjord, made use of Oslo's app-connected City Bikes, and last but not least, got to admire Edvard Munch's masterpiece The Scream completely undisturbed. Marela and Sam's two days in Oslo were packed with experiences, but not with people.
