My name is Einar Björn and i am nineteen years old born 3. Januar 1990. I live on a farm not so far from the town of Höfn but while i am at school and work I am with my grandparents. I have one younger brother who‘s name is Hannes. My dad works as a farmer but also works also with some builders and occasional shifts at the local fish meal factory. My mom works in a freezing plant in the town. My farm is just couple of meters away from the fjord Skarðsfjörður and we own several small islands in the fjord where we sail in the summer to collect dune from the eider that lays its eggs in the islands. We also lay nets for salmon but there has been a decrease in the fishing.
We have something over 300 sheeps, some cows, 2 horses we don‘t ride much on and loads of dogs (we just got some puppies 8 of them)
At each new years eve the whole extended family meets at my home and we eat together good food and celebrate with a big fire and loads of fireworks which I have quite alot of fun firing up.
I study at FAS and have been there for the last three years. My main studies focus on Math, Geography, Icelandic and English for most parts.
My intrests lie mostly in RPG games, fantasy and sci fi literature, mythology, music and cooking. I listen mostly to rock, grunge, alternative and metal and folk songs and among favorite bands are The Smashing Pumpkins, Muse, Iron Maiden, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Jet Black Joe , Weezer and more.
I work with school at Hótel Höfn baking pizzas but in the sommer i will be working helping the chef preparing meals for the tourists and do the dishes, with the possibility of learing how to be a waiter. I have worked there now for 2 years and I like it rather well. You get the best pizza in town there.
Yeah thats about it that I can write about myself.
Með kveðjum (with regards)
Einar Björn
