About me

art, languages, cultures

I am Chiara, born on Sami people national day in 1998, in a North Italian town. I am currently living and working in the Netherlands.

I have self-studied all main Nordic languages among others, and this blog’s goal is to tell about Nordic cultures including their languages, accompanying this journey with my own illustrations

This all started as a project for one of my college classes. Ever since i was a child i have always had a fascination for North Europe, from Pippi Longstocking to Danish Butter cookies and breathtaking pictures of Faroe Islands seen on magazines; so I chose this as topic, adding my passion for art and languages in the mix.

On this blog you will find tips to learn languages, Benelux-based Nordic cafe and event reviews, and quirky facts about Nordic-related stuff in the world. If you are into languages however, you should also follow me on instagram Find me elsewhere

What languages Do I speak and how i did I learn them? During my last year of high school I started to self study Swedish and Dutch on duolingo, after having studied other 3 foreign languages for 5 years (English, French, German). I started to actively speak Danish and Norwegian more recently and began studying Icelandic and Finnish during the 2020 lockdown. Other than these languages I have always adored Japan and I am slowly studying Japanese as well.

I Hope you will be able to enjoy my blog, please give me feedback to let me know what you think or give advice 🙂
