I was born in Akureyri, Northern Iceland, and I have lived down town Reykjavík almost all my life. I have lived for short periods of time in: Bournemouth, England (1994); Aarhus, Denmark (1996); Winnipeg, Canada (2000) and León, España (2004).
I have a B.A. Degree in English Literature, Linguistics and Gender Studies, a Diploma in Practical Journalism and Media. Currently I am finishing my MA in Journalism. I still live down town Reykjavík, own a cute little old house, a dog and a wonderful husband, Addi and a stepdaughter, Elena.
