Hi there, my name is Hannah! I am a sunshine chasing, nature loving, minimalist who dabbles in pretty much anything and everything under the sun (because I really hate the snow)!

Where I'm from:
Homegrown in Seattle, Washington USA--I enjoy spending most of my time exploring the outdoors. You will most likely find me somewhere in the forest strapped to a backpack. I say we climb a tree, hang a hammock and enjoy the view!

Passions:
I love exercising and playing sports. For me this means anything from long boarding to rock climbing--I just love to sweat! Healthy, natural and sustainable food also makes me extremely happy.

Guiding principles:
I consider myself a minimalist trying to live free of debt and the entrapment of possessions. Everything I do in life is intentional, this includes the things I own, the relationships I have and the places that I go.

Life attitude:
I am an adrenaline seeker willing to try almost anything once. I'm not keen on making any definitive plans, I'm more of a "go with the flow and see what happens" type of gal. I believe when you remain happy and open to receive, good things will come to you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To share in experience, in stories, in food, in drink, in laughter, in life.
