About Me

My name is Hanna. I'm 31 year old woman. I live in Reykjavik which is the capital of Iceland.

I'm vegetarian so I don't eat all candy. Please no candy with animal based gelatin. But there are loads of candy that I like. I love chocolate, both dark and milk. Flavored dark chocolate is a fav! I love salty liquorice. It's a scandinavian thing. I love sweedish fish and peanut chews but you can't get them where I live so whenever a friend from the states comes over I make them bring both. I also like sugarfree candies a lot!

I have this thing with four different cartoon characters. First there is Winnie the pooh. He is called Bangsimon where I am from and I love him and all his little friends. Tigger, Piglet, Eeyore. All of them. Second is the Moomins. Yes all of them. The third is Calvin and Hobbes. I can't get enough of them. I love Sundays where I'm able to sit down after baking something good and read C&H while eating. And I'm going to let the forth slide in here which even though she isn't really a cartoon character. Still gets on this list. That's Pippi langstrom. So anything related to any of these little creatures and I'm most likely to love it! O and I also love love love all the studio Gibhli movies and Miyazaki!

I love traveling and traveled a lot in the last 3 years before my son was born. Have slowed down a lot since then mainly due to the fall of the Icelandic krona. In Europe I've been to Norway, Sweden, Denmark, France, England, Scotland, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia and more. I've also gone to the states a couple of times and been to 9 different states so far. I've also been to southeast Asia where I visited Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. It was one of my favorite trips so far. I really loves Asia and Asian things.

I love photographing and I have since I got my first real camera when I was about 10 years old.

My favorite color is green but I like the color blue too. I don't like orange at all so no orange things for me please.

I like cooking but I LOVE baking. I've been baking since I was way little with my mom and I was about 8 or 9 when she started letting me bake on my own. I wanted to be a baker when I was growing up but now it's more of a hobby then a career. Still I would love to open up a bakery or a cafe one day when I want a change and want to try something new.

I love trees. All kinds of trees. I like drawing them and taking pictures of them. Anything with trees on it and I'm almost sure I'll love it!

I love Christmas. It's my favorite time of year. I love everything about it. The decorations, the lights, the cold and the snow, the food and just about anything. I love making Christmas decorations, cookies, gifts and cards. So I would be into any Christmas related swaps.

Still my all time favorite thing in the world since I became a mom is my son. He's 5 years old today and if you include something fun for him in the swaps I'll adore you forever!

Favorite Music

I've been a part of the hardcore/punk scene in Iceland for almost a decade so I do like hardcore and punk stuff alot but I also love all different kind of music. Here's a list of few of my favorite. death cab for cutie, ben howard, bon iver, bon jovi, siguros, beyonce, bright eyes, converge, dashboard confessional, majority rule, the smiths, morrisey, the cure, bruce springsteen, jay z, coheed and cambria, ani difranco, cardigans, damien rice, i adapt, new found glory, strike anywhere, kid dynamite, taking back sunday, my bike is a pipe bomb, johnny cash and june carter cash, defiance.ohio, small brown bike and many more.

Favorite Books

I love reading both books and comics. I read a lot of political books I'm also a sucker for the old classics especially from the Victorian times. I love Jane Austen but the Bronte sister and many other are among my favorite too. My favorite comics include Barry the boy genius (actually I love anything by Judd Winick), blankets by Craig Thompson, snake pit by Ben, Calvin and Hobbes, BONE and many more.

Favorite Movies

I have many favorite movies. Movies that I can watch over and over again. Among those are:

Anything from the director Miyasaki that includes Howl's moving castle, spirited away, princess mononoke, castle in the sky, ponyo and all his other movies.

I love the old classics too like an affair to remember, my fair lady, gone with the wind, young at heart and many more.

I like movies from when I was growing up and eighthes movies too like breakfast club, say anything, pretty in pink, footloose and many more.

I also love the movie Amelie. It's one of the movie I've watch countless of times and I never get tired of.

Comment: Thank you for your hometown postcard!! The hubby and I were both surprised to find out about the geothermal activity there and to see how green it looks. An airline pilot we know had told us that Iceland was much greener than Greenland.

Comment: Thank you so much for the mix! Even though you didn't put any music from the bands on my profile, you filled it with other favorites (I almost put Jack Johnson's "Taylor" on the mix I made, too!), and plenty of other bands I've been meaning to check out. The Icelandic song was also a great touch - I can't wait to hear it all properly! Thank you again! :D

I just need to know where to send to, please message me when you are back online and I'll be ready to send as soon as you are!! I hope all is well! <333

thanks for the great rating. When I notice you were from Reykjavik I had to tell you my movie story. Plus you have been every where and you are only 25 I wish I went some where. I had to go to a few places to find Winnie the pooh postcard but I thought it was totally worth it. I love putting smiles on other peoples faces. Thanks again. Cheers!
