Meet the Nordic Watchlist Team

Someone once asked me where my first connection with the Nordic region was and I felt this was a great question – I began to think to when I discovered the music, film, TV series and the people from there.
I remember being besotted with Helena Christenson and Björk whose album, Debut, I had purchased and fell instantly in love with. Then came Sigur Ros who totally blew my mind.
It wasn’t really until 2010 that I really started to realise my fascination with the Nordic region after I joined a travel company that focused on trips to this part of the world.
The rest really is history from there – the more places I travelled to and saw the more I discovered when I immersed myself in the music, film, TV, and Culture.
Nordic Watchlist is somewhere where we can make connections and meet like-minded people, discover and discuss the things we love, and give a platform for promoting Nordic culture to the world.
We would love to know more about you! Get in touch below:

Editor / Author / Branding / Marketing
I’ve always loved writing and design, and my dream was to work on a magazine. After doing a journalism degree, I ended up pursuing a career in Marketing, and I love it.
My day job as a Marketing Manager, along with working on Nordic Watchlist in my spare time, combines all the creative things I enjoy.
Alex and I get super excited about discovering Nordic things and places together – whether it’s the latest TV show, movie, song, fashion or interior design brand, or travel destination – we find out all about it and then bring the best bits to you!
