Description

Annika Pavel, originally from Czechoslovakia, shares her extraordinary life journey with Nicoa. Starting as a refugee in England, she became a model and, wait for it, a JAMES Bond girl. Annika, now a grandmother, has written a book of personal essays and children's stories called ENCOUNTER WITH THE FUTURE. She emphasized the importance of travel and education, influenced by her mother. Annika's brother, a BBC and Voice of America journalist, faced perilous situations but continued his work. Annika's story highlights a LIFE BY DESIGN of resilience, adaptability, and the transformative power of real world experiences.
