Hey! I'm Hannah, American girl who loves to travel. I'm currently doing a master's degree in Edinburgh and using the opportunity to do as much adventuring as possible. I'm studying tourism, love to meet new people, explore new places, and am very easy-going. Super friendly!

ALSO: I am only not accepting guests at the moment because I currently live in a studio apartment with only a Murphy (fold-down) bed. As soon as I have space for surfers again, I would love to host!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because its an incredible way to travel the world, to meet people and make connections like this! I used to host with some of my flatmates when I lived in Switzerland and loved meeting all our surfers. One time, at Carnevale, my friends and I dressed like the Spice Girls, and when our 'Baby Spice' dropped out at the last minute, one of our French couchsurfers ended up in high heels, blonde wig and pink dress, with his chest hair pouring out the top. He was the life of the party, and YES I have pictures available upon request :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Lately lots of indie music, but I feel like every genre has its time and place.
Read lots of fantasy books for pleasure. Let's discuss!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I used to work for a travel company called Contiki, I was the tour manager for groups of international visitors who came to American. I would take them on 3-4 week trips to see the sights, and have seen many of the USA's major destinations.

I also attended University in Switzerland, so I've seen a fair amount of Europe as well :) Lots and lots of great stories.

Also, one time a bull elephant chased me up a tree in Zambia.

And one time I got pushed into the Venice canal and had to swim out.
