Petur-Magnus-Petursson-224x300.jpg


Nice to see you! I bet you are interested in know a bit more about me… Even if you’re not, let me tell you. I am a 28-year-old man who moved from the countryside farm Völlur when I was 16 years old and have now settled in the city of fear (Reykjavík/Brussels). I finished my ML program in law at Reykjavík University in 2025, having completed a BA degree from the same school. I have a strong interest in European and EEA law, having written my BA thesis in this field and my ML thesis, taking a look at restrictions on the use of temporary work agencies. I know work for the EFTA Surveillance Authority in Brussels!
