Hello! My name is Hanna, and I was born and raised in San Diego, California. I am currently a student going into my fourth year where I study in Chicago. I am doing an exchange program in Budapest at the moment and will be here until the end of December.

I love to travel and am looking to check off as many places as I possibly can. When I came across Couchsurfing, I immediately signed up because I knew it would be the perfect way for me to not only travel on a budget but to meet friendly locals who are interested in helping out tourists. I joined many years ago when I first heard of it, but am just now starting to try to use it... I'm very interested to see how it will go! :)

My favorite hobbies include traveling, trying new restaurants and foods, snowboarding, wakeboarding, hiking, shopping, and attending concerts and electronic shows.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I am infatuated with traveling, but I do not have the funds to be staying at hotels or hostels. I am also on Couchsurfing because I think it would be a great way to meet new people and learn about the city I am visiting.
