About Me
A descendant of the Vikings born and raised in the city of Reykjavik in Iceland, 20 years of age and still going. After graduation I went to Palestine to teach english in the city of Nablus in the West-Bank, currently on the work marked, going to attend the university of Iceland next fall.
The dream is to attend Brown university to study writing or Columbia to study journalism, but since I'm from tiny Iceland I have to proof my self to exceptional to get an international scholarship or else strike luck and win the lottery.
I love few things more then a good book and prefer it over the television most times, among my favourite authors are: Arnaldur Indridason, Dan Brown, Khaled Hosseini, Leo Tolstoy to name a few. Also a lover of music and guitar playing, classic rock and thrash metal .
I dislike few things as much as ignorance and prejudice, people who state their own stupid opinions as facts even though they are immensely wrong and people who hate other people for their skin colour, ethnicity or for being in their opinion, inferior.
Beginner in journalism and trying to make a name for myself, to begin with here in Iceland, then I'll have the world ad my feet. Trying to become a writer/journalist. I consider my self to be a novice novelist, I also write articles against the Israeli occupation of Palestine and movie criticism.
