Hello! My name is Annika :)

I'm a 25 year old (ahum young) Dutch art director at Just, Leiden. I studied Communication Design for my bachelor and completed a master in Media Technology at Leiden University. I absolutely love my dog Gino, peppermints and going out for a stroll at sea. When time allows it I fitness, bike on my racing bike, windsurf and give a go at running and yoga.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to meet inspiring people and share amazing experiences. I'd love to see more of the world and its inhabitants.

Music, Movies, and Books

I pretty much like any type of music with the exception of hardcore (I tried liking it, but I just can't). Currently I really like Alt J and A Tribe Called Quest.

The same applies to books and movies. I can enjoy browsing through a well-designed cook-book as much as reading an intriguing piece of literature. I like stories that mess with the mind or that have a lot of meta-references. My all time favorite movie is Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, but I'm also a big fan of Tarentino movies and Burton animations.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to teach drawing :) And if you're in the Netherlands ofcourse you'll need to learn how to bike.
