About Silja

My name is Silja and I was born in beautiful Iceland in early 1993.

I‘m a feminist. I‘m also proud to call myself an atheist. I believe in evolution and the people, human rights and equality. I want the world to be a good and fair place to live in. The world is already beautiful in many ways but we can still do so much better.

I‘m an artist and a writer. Not yet professionally but it plays a big important part in my life. I've been drawing and painting since I can remember and usually don‘t go far from home without my sketchbook. Since 2012 I've been drawing caricatures for individuals as well as larger groups of up to 36 people, to earn some extra money. I enjoy writing and have an amazing ability to turn short sentences into long essays...one of my most exhausting traits in many people‘s opinion but I believe I can make it come to good use somehow. That‘s why I started blogging!

Since November 2013 I've spent most of my time in Australia working and travelling. I‘ll always call Iceland home but I don‘t know where the future will take me or where I‘ll end up. I have no idea and that‘s super exciting. I‘m growing and learning new things every day and never want that to stop. I‘m exactly where I need to be at this moment.
