CURRENT MISSION

To survive Holland

ABOUT ME

I'm Hannah and I'm a student at Newcastle University,
studying English Literature and Classics. I'm about to
start a five month placement at Leiden University- I
love to travel, so the idea of being immersed in a
culture for 5 months seemed like a great idea, and the
experience will be a mental refreshment before I
return in February to study for my final exams.

If I had to quickly sum up what I like, I'd say live
music, film, reading, writing, informed and inspired
people, having fun and all that.

PHILOSOPHY

The wisest advice I've ever been given was written on a toilet door in a pub: "Respect other people, mainly just don't be a twat". I think it's a pretty good philosophy to live by.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to all this, but once I get settled in Leiden, my couch is your couch.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Watched Beijing be pulled down and rebuilt in the run up to the Olympic games. Watched people queue for hours to pay semi-religious hommage to Chairman Mao's pickled body in Tiananman Square.
