Terve! I am Meeri the explorer. I love to have something going on all the time and be on the move. Furthermore, I enjoy making connections with people from various different backgrounds – that together with photography is the way to find new enriching details in life. My mind is orientated to the international scene, although my roots are in the cold and dark Scandinavia. Environment is close to my heart, and with my lifestyle I strive to become as ecological as possible, even when I am on the road.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although I am generally very independent, it is nice to catch up with other people and locals whilst traveling around – you guys give the substance to even the shortest trips!

Interests

I am interested in environment and ecological, zero-impact lifestyle. I enjoy vegan diet and dumpster diving! Furthermore, photography, legal matters, questions of justice, society, health, jogging, landscapes, art, collective initiatives, activism, literature...

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste for music is wide and colorful, always adjusting, but certain favorites exist. I am happy to discuss about these, and get tips for readings, and why not watch a good movie together. I cannot play any instrument that well anymore, but I sure enjoy acoustic performances. I love dancing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Summer 2012: Environmental work camp in Southern France with 9 other, international people.

And also, summer 2015: Two summer law courses (one in Salerno, the other one Bucharest) combined with traveling around Europe from one place to another with a bus or a train, WITHOUT airplanes! NL–DE–CZ–IT–HU–RO–BG–PL–EE–FIN

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn more about environmental matters, ecological lifestyle, mindfulness, and, of course, about the place where I am at! I would be honored to hear about the stories you have to offer.

I could share my knowledge in anything you would be interested in – how to fold bags really conveniently, recycling tips, zero-waste, vegan cooking...
