Hi! I am Merete from Norway
I have a MBA with a major in Marketing and my passion has been Fashion Retail since 92.
In 2019 I decided to leave my dream job as a Design and Buying Director, in Varner, one of the largest fashion retailers in Scandinavia, to follow my second passion, a passion that is getting stronger and stronger, traveling and social media.
I started my Instagram @worldwithasuitcase and travel blog World with a Suitcase.com to share my travel experiences with my family and friends. The number of followers grew rapidly and I have many followers asking me for travel advice every day. As a very experienced traveler, destinations see a benefit in working with me. Together we can work on strategy, brand building and I can help with the marketing in yours and or in my channels.
World with a Suitcase
On my travelblog and Instagram @worldwithasuitcase I share from the hotels I stay in, the restaurants I eat at in addition to the destinations I travel to.
My topics are TRAVEL, SLEEP, EAT and DO.
If you represent a country, a destination, a hotel, a restaurant, or an activity or even a product that you think my dear followers will love, please let me know. I am not a backpacker, I travel with a suitcase, that`s why I am “World with a Suitcase”.
The hotels I stay in must have a design I like,
good location and be great value for money. I love boutique hotels and hotels with an attitude. I want to feel treated like a friend in a hotel not like a guest.
The restaurants I go to must be worth my money. For me good food and drinks are important and a big part of the total travel experience.
Travel memories last but a tan will fade!
I help my followers to travel to interesting destinations and to fill the time they are there with activities that make the trip memorable.
Work with me

If you like, I will also be happy to help you with your marketing strategy, to help you build a strong brand and to help you to improve your social media as I also work as a Social Media Manager for customers in and outside the travel business.
