WORK WITH ME

Hi! I am Merete from Norway

I hold an MBA with a major in Marketing, and my passion for Fashion Retail has driven my career since 1992. Five years ago, I made the bold decision to leave my dream role as Design and Buying Director at Varner, one of Scandinavia’s largest fashion retailers, to pursue another growing passion: traveling and social media.

What began as a way to share my travel experiences with family and friends through Instagram and my travel blog quickly gained momentum. My audience grew rapidly, and today, I am fortunate to have thousands of followers who turn to me for travel advice and inspiration daily.

As an experienced traveler, I bring unique value to collaborations with hotels and destinations. My expertise in strategy, brand building, and marketing allows us to create impactful campaigns together, leveraging both your channels and mine for maximum reach.

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 REISETIPS where to travel to, HOTELL, OPPLEVELSER activities and MAT restaurants

If you represent a country, destination, hotel, restaurant, activity, or product that aligns with the interests of my audience, I’d love to hear from you. My followers are passionate about discovering quality travel experiences, and I’m here to showcase the best.

I am not a backpacker; I travel with a suitcase, embodying comfort, quality, and sophistication. That’s the inspiration behind “World with a Suitcase.” My travel philosophy is about exploring the world with ease and style, whether it’s staying in boutique hotels, enjoying gourmet meals, or curating memorable experiences.

Let’s collaborate to share your story with my global audience through high-quality, engaging content.

The hotels I stay in must have a design I like

I value hotels that offer a great location and excellent value for money. Boutique hotels and those with a unique personality are my favorites. I want to feel like a friend when I stay at a hotel, not just another guest.

When it comes to restaurants, they must be worth every penny. Exceptional food and drinks are essential to me and play a significant role in creating a memorable travel experience.

Travel memories last but a tan will fade!

I help my followers discover fascinating destinations and make the most of their time there with unforgettable activities. My expertise lies in creating tailored social media content that captivates my audience. This includes high-quality photos, engaging Reels, and compelling stories that inspire and inform.
