Hi, it's Nin, the author of Art och Lingua.
This blog is my honest journal about my experiences as an au pair in 3 European countries, studying and working in Norway, and exploring the small parts of the world. I promise not to sugarcoat anything because, let's face it, there's no such thing as a perfect place on this planet.
I enjoy writing, developing new ideas, and sharing them with others. That's why I created my first blog back in 2013. After brainstorming for a while, I realized that two things I'm really passionate about are art and language. Lingua in Italian means 'language'. Och means 'and' in Swedish. Why och, because it sounds cute and fancy, like Swedes. So, they merge things I like in art, cuteness, and language.
A few years ago, I wrote about keeping up with learning a new language when bored and stuck. However, my perspective changed when I moved to Belgium to work as an au pair. I found myself writing more and enjoying the curiosity of Indonesians who wanted to know more about living abroad. After spending five years as an au pair and mastering the art of "How to Change Diapers Without Feeling Disgusted," I pursued my Master's degree at the University of Oslo and frequently traveled around Norway. Currently, I am based in Oslo and working as a creative ♡
Let's keep in touch here!
