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.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

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