Hiya,
my name is Annika, I´m 22 years old and I studied fine arts and educational science (which was brilliant!). At the moment I´m taking a gap year from my studies and work as an Au Pair in England, I´ll continue my studies this summer with a Master in "gender studies". I love travelling, which is one of the reasons why I came to England.

Here is my instagram profile filled with travel photos of England:

I´m relatively new to couchsurfing, but I´ve done a lot of hitchhikes and met amazing people on my journeys, so I´m not new to the concept ;) My couch surfing experiences so far have all been brilliant, I met wonderful people and I´m so glad I joined this community.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people, share stories and have an amazing time!

Unfortunately I can´t accept guests, because I am living with my host family. But as soon as I´m back in Germany I can propably offer you a free space in my place there.

Interests

I love reading, tea, travelling, flea markets, poetry slams, meeting new people, discussions,taking walks, rambling about stuff, drawing, cuddling every animal I see, swing, laugh...

I can talk your ear off about things that interest me, but I´m also a good listener and always keen on new things, wo whatever it is that fills your heart with joy: tell me! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I spend two months in Namibia for an internship and have done a lot of amazing things there, visiting a cheetah farm for example.
- Spontaneous travel decisions, they were pretty much all amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I studied art, so if you always wanted to learn how to draw: here I am ;)
