I’m Hannah, a 24 year old American living in Italy! I am here for two years, as I’m studying World Politics and International Relations for my master’s degree. I love to make new connections with fun, positive people and experience everything that the world has to offer.

When it comes to traveling, I am a social person who enjoys making connections with people over a coffee, music, and more. As an ambivert, I am happy to socialize for a bit, and also head out on the town to give you some space as well :)

As a guest, I am especially respectful of others’ space and belongings, do not make much noise, and am tidy with my own things as well. This is very important for me!

I have just joined Couchsurfing, and since I have no references as of yet, I invite you to take a look at my linkedin (http://www.linkedin.com/in/hannahsvelling) or my Instagram profile: @hannahsvelling. It might not also count for much, but when I worked for Instacart (a food delivery app), all of my 59 reviews are 5/5 stars!

If you have any thoughts or questions, I’m here to answer them :)
