Ragga Ragnars X Nomadict Interview

The Nomadict community is an infinite source of inspiration, also for us. We meet the most incredible visual creators and wonderful human beings. As a result, new ideas and projects emerge. We have shown you many photos from the Land of Fire and Ice, introduced you to an Icelandic musician, and today, we'd like you to get to know @raggaragnars, an Olympic swimmer and actress from Iceland (have you seen the TV show Viking?), portrayed by our talented Nomadict family member Kévin Pagès (@kevin._.pages). Ragga started swimming at the age of six, and when she was eight she knew she wanted to go to the Olympics. "Waking up at 4 in the morning 4 days a week was not always fun, but I remember feeling like it was all just a part of the deal. I have always had that mindset; I can do or be anything I want. But it will take time and a lot of effort for some of those things to come about." Ragga swam in the Olympics in Athens (2004) and Beijing (2008) and became a mom in 2013. This is when she started working on her other life-long dream - becoming an actress - and headed to LA with her son to study at the New York Film Academy in Burbank, CA. "I saw Vikings first when I was at home with my newborn son and fell in love with the world of the show. I could just see myself there, and I made it. Mental visualization and meditation are extremely important in my life. It’s such a great tool to have in your arsenal of life hacks. When I was swimming, it was a great way to calm the nerves and the body, to visualize or just give myself a break. As an actress, it also helps me memorize lines, be sharp when shooting, and calm down from a day of emotions and drama." Ragga's great drive and discipline come from within: "I listen to my heart. When my heart tells me to reach some height, I follow and I smile on my way there." It has been inspiring to speak with her about goal setting, dealing with discomfort, life lessons she's learned as an athlete and actor, social media, and much more!
