after considering to submit my own blog to stumbleupon (how uncool? – i didn’t!) and realizing that i couldn’t explain what it was about, i made a decision, and changed the header of my blog from ”an idealistic web shop in the making” to what was before a secondary tagline: celebrates the power of friendship, love & talent. and so i do.

i considered ”a business in the becoming”, as i still want to make an independent business based on a great idea. my project hasn’t changed. i still keep this blog to work on my ideas, to research new ways, and to make a plan and execute it… once i am ready. meanwhile, i hereby permit myself to appreciate in public (aka blabber on about street art, daily observations, web sites that i like, the struggle as well as fun of developing viable ideas, and about great people - friends and strangers).

i appreciate those rare, great moments where what i like to do and what i do well meet. and i work on boosting both the quality and quantity of these moments. i have 9 years of experience with communications and online marketing in the it industry (b2b), and 1 year of experience in the travel business, currently managing a commerce site, in collaboration with 2 other guys and the marketing and it teams. no picnic. but interesting. challenging and rewarding. sometimes even fun.

what i do, what i love and what i want

i do online marketing
i do online optimization
i speak/ teach/ train
i add drive and see the fun of excellence
i write, edit
i make decisions
i manage, lead, motivate
i make strategies and i actualize them
people seem to believe that i am competent and reliable (even though i show up late and sweat from the half-hour bike ride, they give me a nice, monthly pay check). they trust me to get the job done. and they can. because i do. that is what i do well.

i love my friends, o and my family
i love to meet interesting and sweet people
i love to be creative – of thought and of hands
i love arts, music, spirituality, nature, city life, literature too (although i seem to have forgotten)
i love to be taken by surprise by cool things
i love the web
i love all the potentials of the web, known and hidden, to be discovered and unfolded
i love stumbleupon.com, jacksonpollock.org, etsy.com, shirtcity.com, springwise.com (i love ab fab o for sharing links and pictures and observations)

i want peace
i want the world to be a better place
i want to do my share, i want to contribute with what i was meant to contribute with
i want freedom. i want to be my own boss. make as much money as i care to make. stay home or stay out as i please. present my own thoughts and ideas. set the agenda.
i want people to be happy
i want to be happy

that’s what this blog is about.

i am 33, female (you guessed that, right? very few males admit to actually reading self help literature), live on vesterbro in copenhagen, denmark, and my name is nanna thorhauge. comments to posts make me happy and you can also reach me at nanna@noochi.com.
