Hello! I'm Annika, and I am a student at UW-Madison who is taking every opportunity to travel while I'm young. I study International Relations and Environmental Studies in the hopes that I can alleviate one of the many issues facing our planet today. I LOVE animals, the ocean, and mountains more than I can describe. I also greatly enjoy cooking and eating delicious vegan food!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Books: My favorite books tend to be fiction novels by Jodi Picoult.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a month solo backpacking through Chile, and another month on a group backpacking/kayaking course in the Norwegian arctic circle! I've also been known to make really amazing pizzas.
