Hello, my name is Nina and I'm a research freak.

Growing up, I was a book worm so there is no wonder that I've come to enjoy spending my time researching various interests. I can easily spend over 50 hours researching an upcoming trip.

Other interests of mine:
While I do love spending a lot of my time reading, I also love the company of other people and like hanging out with friends, playing board games, going to the cinema or hiking together. I also enjoy going to the gym, cooking and gardening. I love travelling, both solo and with other people.

Other information:
I moved to Stockholm, from Sweden's west coast, to study computer games development and decided to stay here. I ended up not working in the computer games industry but I do work in IT and I find it very interesting and stimulating.

Extra other information:
I used to be a basketball player and coach which was tons of fun. I have a rabbit that I train.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
I'm a sucker for a well-written, well-directed thriller, such as The Usual Suspects and Memento. I also enjoy super hero movies, romantic comedies and anime.

Books:
I have loved Agatha Christie's books since I was a little girl.

Music:
I try to be open minded regarding music. During my basketball days, I used to listen a lot to rap and hiphop. Later in life I discovered the fascinating world of metal and country. When I started dancing salsa, I started listening a lot to Latin music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once saw a mommy blue whale and her calf while sitting in a little boat out on the open sea. It was both super scary and super amazing.
