A little bit about Annika in their own words…

I am Annika from Northern Germany, where I live with my Canadian husband, Liam. We are both avid travelers, and apart from cycling, we enjoy hiking, camping, canoeing, kayaking, and skiing. We’ve done some short bike trips together through Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania as well as Austria, Hungary, and Slovakia, and are planning a much longer bike trip in the future. Our most recent trip was a 1-month sea kayaking trip in Indonesia. When we’re not traveling, we love to host cyclists in our home. It’s always a pleasure to bring some international vibes to our little house in the German countryside when we host cyclists from all over the world, often on their way to or from Scandinavia, and quite frequently intending to reach the North Cape in Norway, the northernmost point in Europe.

Because I love the idea of promoting the Warmshowers community and being engaged with an organization that brings so much joy to our everyday life.

It’s been a lot of fun hosting families with little kids on big cycling trips, seeing that adventure doesn’t need to stop just because you start a family.
