Hi, friends! My name is Hannah, and I was born and raised in Arizona, USA - about 3 hours south of the Grand Canyon. I’ve been living and working in Christchurch, New Zealand since June.

I like hiking, drinking cheap beer, spewing poorly-timed dinosaur facts, and the Oxford comma.

I enjoy spontaneous adventures as much as I enjoy structured, well-planned adventures. Though I enjoy the buzz of the city, I’m my happiest under the stars. I stick my feet in every body of water I see, and I’ll take the long way to go over a bridge. I love a good bridge.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Who’s ready for an adventure?! I’m looking for hiking buddies, day-trip partners, road trip mates, you name it. If it’s in the general vicinity of New Zealand and can be classified as at least “moderately adventurous,” I’m in. Help me cross something off my bucket list!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once taught a sport I never did in a language I barely speak.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love helping people learn something new! I’m always looking to share my love for country dancing, Spanish, (very basic) American Sign Language, new recipes, front flips, maybe even a back flip!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I cook top-notch (vegan) food, and I'm bad at cooking for only one person. I have great appreciation for a tidy kitchen.
