Annika Pelgrom
Currently working as a TV host for Omroep Venlo and other local Dutch TV networks, Annika started her career in a completely other direction. She graduated from the Law School of the University of Amsterdam and was heading towards a career in law. After some contemplating about the future, she decided she wanted to use her enthusiasm and creativity in another way - to create and present tv-programs. Besides her job as a TV host she loves to travel around the world, where she lived longer periods of time abroad (i.e. Italy, Spain, Canada, Thailand and Singapore).
