I am Chiara B., 22, I opened this blog as a university project, choosing as topic one of my passions: Nordic cultures, uniting them with my illustrations. Ever since i was a child i have always had a fascination for North Europe, to the point that I started to self study Swedish when i was 19 in my last school year, after having studied other 3 foreign languages for 5 years. I did not know much more than the average person about Nordic cultures at the time, just about Pippi, IKEA, and Danish cookies and a couple words.
While learning Swedish I also got closer to the culture, as it is natural to do, and I recently started dabbling in Danish and Norwegian as well. One of the few perks of the pandemic was having the time to start studying Icelandic and Finnish, despite having a long way to go I definitely cherish doing this! I will use this blog to write about traditions, places and iconic things of Nordic countries i learned about throughout the years, making an illustration everytime!
NU KÖR VI! (Here we go!)
