Hi there! I'm Nina and 22 years old. I grew up in Germany but recently moved to Porto in Portugal for my Master's degree in Data Science. I'm very passionate about what I study so I'm always up for a talk if you're interested in my studies :) Before moving to Porto, I lived in North Carolina for 2 years during my Bachelor studies. In my free time I enjoy sports (especially running) and nature (you'll find me at the top of every mountain that's close by!). Other than that, I also like volunteering and taking care of animals. For example, I've volunteered at several dog shelters - but I'll tell you more once we meet!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have already done quite a lot of couchsurfing but lost access to my account (thanks to multifactor authentification :D). What I love most about couchsurfing is that you can get a local perspective on the places you travel to and meet kind people. I like to learn about cultures and different mindsets which is exactly what Couchsurfing helps you do. Also, all of the couchsurfers I've met so far were open-minded and friendly people, so I'd say Couchsurfing helps you meet a special kind of people :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can always teach you German of course (my English also isn't the worst) or some stuff about data science. I'm also really fond of cooking so if you're interested in learning some vegan recipes - let me know!

What I Can Share with Hosts

The best thing to share with a host is a meal and a good conversation :) So if you're hosting me, I'd love to take you out for dinner or cook for you and share some of my experiences!
