How Norwegian friluftsliv brings out the best in people | Lorelou Dejardins | TEDxTrondheim

Do you find it impossible to conceive your life without nature and the outdoors? Do you itch for the weekend so you can go to your cabin, or simply so you can leave your house and go for a hike? If so, we’ve got news for you: you may be Norwegian. Lorelou Dejardins has wondered about Norwegians’ love of nature for quite some time. Author, polyglot and human rights lawyer, Lorelou is a French citizen who has lived in 9 countries and fell in love with Norway. Upon arriving, she promptly got curious about the culture and has since been trying to understand the core of it. You may actually know Lorelou from her popular blog "A Frog in the Fjord" or from her column in the Norwegian newspaper VG, where she explores the singularities of Norwegian culture.
