I'm Hannah, an architect from Texas and living in New Orleans who loves meeting new people from all over. In my spare time you can find me exploring the nearest dive bar, riding my bike around town, salsa dancing, or covered in a layer of sawdust making things in my woodshop.

I am originally from Texas and currently live in New Orleans, but have also lived in Santiago, Chile and Valencia, Spain. Hablo español! :)

My other favorite things besides traveling and making things: scuba diving, riding my bike, skiing, photography, sustainable design, great conversation. Currently learning how to sail and to ski!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Not a super frequent couchsurfer, but the few times I've tried it I've had a really great time. I love getting a local's perspective and meeting new friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Scuba diving in an underwater cave (the cenotes) in Mexico. A little terrifying, but one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
