Description
Hey, my name is Tin — pronounced like “Dean”, so most people just call me Dean :)
I’m from Germany and currently in my master’s studies. Right now, I’m taking a break semester before starting my thesis, which felt like the perfect moment to do something different. I’ve always loved Portugal, so I decided to come here, live for a while, and experience the country beyond just traveling.
I’m really interested in getting to know the culture, meeting new people, and supporting projects. At the same time, I’m looking for a slower pace of life. The past few years have been quite intense with studies, work, and city life, so I want to take some time to reset, enjoy new surroundings, and live more consciously.
I’m open-minded, easygoing, and happy to help wherever I can. I enjoy being part of a community, learning new things, and contributing with a positive attitude.
