Heyy, I'm Nele! I was born and raised in Germany and currently live in San Francisco! I am a student at Minerva Schools at KGI, interested in politics, international relations, environmental sciences and ethics. Travelling is both my hobby and a lifestyle, as I am moving from place to place most of the time. In my free time, I usually try out new sports (everything from acrobatics to rugby), walk around the city with friends, and explore cafes and parks (coffee shops are awesome!). I love music and concerts, one-on-one conversations, and trying out new things, no matter how crazy they are ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am traveling a lot and find it sad how difficult it can be to meet locals, so a friend recommended me Couchsurfing! I love visiting new places and meeting people that want to hang out, chat or do something in the city. I believe this is a much more genuine way to travel and connect with people, and I hope that I can learn something about you and this place!
