50 Questions with Annisophie_'s Anne-Sophie Schmidt

Originally hailing from a small village in Germany, 23-year-old Anne-Sophie Schmidt has since left the forest town of Hesse for the big city lights of Munich – where she now lives with her boyfriend Nick and dog Nala (who both can be found making guest appearances on her Instagram account Annisophie_).

While her Instablog may have begun as a fitness feed, Annisophie_ is now just as much focused on her fashion and travel forays as her pursuits at the gym. Here, she takes time out from her influencer/blogging duties to take our latest Fast 50 – talking everything from a trip with Porsche to hating on the IG algorithm.
