I'm a newbie stamp collector from Norway. I started collecting about 6 months ago, primarily to get me a hobby that isn't exclusively on the computer. Many computer games I have played as a hobby includes collecting of some sort, so I figured stamp collecting would be something I could enjoy. Washing/Soaking, sorting and mounting stamps have been relaxing and fun so far
Starting up I bought 3kg unwashed stamps, 3 x 1kg bags with different content. I'm still working on the first bag, 1kg sure was a lot more than I expected it to be. I've started with Norwegian stamps, and will probably choose more countries as I go through my kilo ware bags.
Look forward to get to know you here on the StampoRama community

welcome Oystein,
perfect. you get to stay on computers and you get to collect.
good to start with your own country, then you can always add to it.

Welcome! I also find the sorting and arranging of my stamps to be relaxing. I had a final exam recently and whenever I got stressed while studying I just took some time and looked through some of my stamps. It was a great relief!
I'm fairly new at this too and have found this community to be a great place to learn about stamps and the hobby. There are so many different ways a person can focus their own interest in stamps. That's what I love about it!
Happy collecting!

Welcome Makazi! You are in the right place at the right time. Sounds like you are getting started in collecting the right way - enthusiastically! We are here to help you any way we can, but stamp collecting has few requirements, and only one is important: collect what you want the way you want. If you do not enjoy it, go at it a different way - this hobby is about fun, not labor.

Hi
Welcome to Stamporama. It's a great site with lots of friendly helpful people. My family left Norway and came to Canada years ago. I have great memories of a beautiful land.
