Cheekycow

I'm a 27 year old girl from Iceland. I live in a small town on the west coast of Iceland along with my adorable british boyfriend and 1 snauser / poodle boy :)

I love photography, and never travel anywhere without my lovely camera.

I'm a huge fan of nature and love nothing more than to spend time surrounded by all sorts of nature such as trees, mountains etc. What I love most is water, waterfalls, the ocean, lakes just name it. I love the fact I live only a minute away from the ocean and I can hear the sound of the waves in the evening when sitting outside in the summer :)

I don't flake, so if you don't receive my swap please send me a message and let me know, it must have gotten lost in the post. I'll do my best to fix it :)

I like Nordic folk music, country, pop, some R'n'B etc

My favourite bands and singers include: Evanescence, Lady Gaga, Alanis Morrisette, Gåte, Bubbi Morthens, Emilíana Torrini, Hafdís Huld, Katy Perry, Rhianna, Savage Garden, Maria Mena etc

Always get a nostalgic feeling as I went through my teenage years listening to Britney Spears and The Backstreet boys, so still have a bit of love for their songs :)

also love the songs: Human behaviour by Björk, Angels - Sarah Mclachlan, Angels - Robbie Williams, Some songs by Linkin park, Fairytale - Alexander Rybak, Jai ho - Pussycat dolls, Killing me softly - Fugees

There are so many songs I like we could be here all night lol I'm always up for listening to new and/or unknown music :)

I love to read! Got a Kindle for christmas from my hubby and absolutely love that little thing. Although I would never say no to a "real" book.

My favourite Icelandic authors are Yrsa Sigurðardóttir (Icelandic crime novelist - you can find some of her stuff on Amazon), Kristín Marja Baldursdóttir, Vilborg Davíðsdóttir and the teenage novelist Þorgrímur Þráinsson

I also adore the Shopaholic series and most books by Sophie Kinsella (although I wasn't a huge fan of Twenties girl, I'm planning to try to re read it - never actually finished it)

I like a lot of books by Meg Cabot, specially the Heather Mills mysteries.

Marian Keyes is great as well as Cecilia Ahern, loved her Book of tomorrow...

I'm also getting into these sci fi, ghost, vampire, angel kind of novels since getting the Kindle, and Finding Sky by Joss Stirling, as well as some books by Sarra Manning, Lauren Kate and the Hollow Trilogy by Jessica Verday

I like a good comedy, horror or chick flicks. Also watch action and animations from time to time.

My favourite movies include, Love actually, Thirteen, City of Angels, Brokedown Palace, Big girls don't cry, most movies by Lukas Moodyson like Fing Amal (show me love) and Leila 4ever, hip hip Hora, (I like nordic films) Dragonfly, Girl interrupted, Finding Nemo, Leap year, P.S I love you, Clueless etc

First and foremost I love knitting :) I mainly use 100% wool, but use fancy yarn every so often.

I like writing, journaling, photography, designing and singing

I'm a member of an Icelandic craft house up in town and sell my products there. So I mainly knit, and like I said earlier, I love it :)

Candy - specially chocolate, I'm a chocoholic lol (I prefer milk chocolate, not a fan of dark. Also don't like chocolate with marzipan or fruity centers)
