Hello! My name is Anika, I am 24 and I'm from Australia. I am new to couchsurfing but I LOVE the idea of it and wish I had known about it earlier! My dad is Swiss so I also have Swiss citizenship and I am currently living in Coppet, Switzerland. I have recently completed my double bachelor in International Development and Public Health, and I am passionate about working to help vulnerable groups exposed to health and development issues. I am laid back, friendly and slightly on the quirky side!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of couch surfing and meeting new people, hearing their life and travel stories! One of my favourite things about travelling is meeting new people and this is a great way of doing it!

Music, Movies, and Books

I am currently reading Shake Hands with the Devil. These types of real life history stories really interest me and I think are important to be aware of.
