Description
My name is Nilli an 40 year old Icelander.
In Iceland back in the day I worked as a electronic technician installing small and big sound systems, repairing and finding faults, making spaces sound.
Grew up in Reykjavík skateboarding downtown but spent 1/3 of the year on my grandparents farm doing chores and tending to the animals, horsing around, haying and whatnot.
I live in a small quiet village on the foothills of Botev peak.
I have been a workawayer myself and have had great experiences, a lot in Peru and south America.
Forager mushroomer Botanical joys.
I am creating a Cosy Health Herb Garden and fixing up the house.
A Space to Celebrate Life, Art And Free Speech.
I value honest communication, expression and humour.
Soon this property with your help will become an Art Residency.
Usually I go to the farmers market once a week to get fresh produce and shop.
I am a foodie and I like to make things from scratch with quality ingredients.
And I bake my own sourdough bread, they are always different and surprising.
I am happy to cater to vegetarians but if you are a vegan you have to be the main chef.
