Anders & Tanja Meldola
What country are you from?
Danish
What drew you to the MEV and what excites you about living in this community?
Anders - We are a Danish couple who dream of creating a calm and meaningful life in the MEV community.
We are drawn to MEV because it represents something we truly value: nature, presence, community, and a more conscious way of living. We are looking for a life with more peace, simplicity, and time for what truly matters – both for ourselves and in our relationships with others.
Tanja - I first discovered MEV on TikTok, and instantly fell in love with the vision behind it.
I feel deeply drawn to the sense of community, the beautiful nature, the healthy food, and the clean and conscious way of living. The idea of being surrounded by like-minded people while creating a meningful and balanced life feels very inspiring to me
Who are you as a person? (personality, values, etc.)
Anders- I am curious about life and have a desire to grow – both personally and as part of a community. Positivity and humor are a important part of who I am and something I bring into my daily life.
Tanja - I am a positive and curious person who values kindness, honesty and meaningful connections. I enjoy bringing good energy, humor and encouragement into the lives of people around me. I am openminded and interested in learning, growing and exploring new perspectives.
Nature, health and balance are important to me, and I appreciate a lifestyle that feels grounded and authentic. I am caring and thoughtful, but also playful and able to laugh at life. I believe in treating others and the nature with respect, creating harmony, and focusing on what truly matters.
Tell us about yourself and/or your family—your interests, hobbies, occupation, and passions.
Anders - I have a great passion for football. But most kinds of sports interests me (paddle, tennis, badminton, volleyball and running). I love being activ outside taking a walk with my wife and family. I have been working with danish tax, accounting and finance for 40 years. As a person I am very social and love having people around me.
Tanja - My passions include health, personal growth and spirituality. I live a plant-based lifestyle and enjoy growing my own food, fermenting, reading and taking long walks in nature. I value a healthy, positive an joyful life filled with love, fun and laughter.
What will be your role in the community? (e.g., sustainability projects, community gatherings, permaculture, holistic wellness, creative workshops, education, etc.)
Anders - I could see me in several roles in the MEV. Working in the administration and finance of MEV, helping the people in the community who has own business with accounting and tax, help build sports activities for our kids and adults. And hopefully a lot more.
Tanja - I would love to contribute to greening MEV and our surroundings.
What does your dream community look like? Dream day in the MEV?
Anders - I believe MEV could become a place where we can create a new (slow) life with meaning, balance, and quality of life – and where we can truly feel at home. I see a day with a lot of social contact and laughter with friends and family in a lovely climate and surroundings, ending with a wonderful dining and a glass of wine with my wife and maybe some new friend’s.
Tanja - My dream community is a place where nature is a central part of daily life, not just a backdrop. I imagine a lush, green environment where we work together to restore the land through permaculture and reforestation, creating a food forrest that support both people and local biodiversity.
To me, it’ also about the people of like-minded individuals who support each other, share knowledge, and collaborate on projekts like planting trees, while still respecting each other’s individual space. It’s a place where we grow both the forrest and our community spirit together.
