Annelie is a outdoor athlete, a world champion freediver and a climber. She feels as home at the bottom of the sea as on the top of a mountain or on a rock face. Climbing and freediving has as much in common as they have in differences. The most common factor is the vertical experience of freedom and the surrounding beauty of nature. The freediving has given Annelie mental strength and the ability to control her mind. The climbing gives her physical strength and endurance. Her next project is to climb Mt. Everest without oxygen 2011.

She is sharing her experiences as a freelance writer and photographer as well as a personal trainer and by teaching/lectures.
