I'm Hannah, I am an adventurer. I currently live in Richmond, VA with my lovely partner and best friend. I love all things outdoors, hiking, biking, swimming, climbing, enjoying the sun. I also love experiencing a new city. I love to cook, especially seasonally and locally I strive to live sustainably in an urban environment and am interested in new and creative ideas to do that. I am a doula and overall birth/women/sexuality/body enthusiast and am excited to be a midwife one day. So that is a little about me.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to live life without fears. I want to see and do as fully as I can. I love the world that humans have created together and the world untouched by humanity. I want to be part of it all. I want to learn as much as I can in this life and not miss any opportunity for adventure while I still have the energy and the nerve!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started off on couch surfing when I was 18 embarking on my first solo trip through Europe. Since then, I have hosted people in my apartment in Montreal and in a big communal house in Richmond, Virginia. Last summer my partner and I travelled extensively through North America, and I owe a huge amount of that amazing-ness to the couch surfing community. Such good vibes all around!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen babies come out of their mothers. Pure, loving effort.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am pretty young, so I admit I have much more to learn than to teach. I know a lot about Montreal. I know quite a bit about the environmental justice movement. I also know quite a bit about American and Canadian politics. I know a lot about pregnancy and birth. There is really nothing that I don't want to learn, though I do have a list of things that I especially want to learn about. I would like to know about taking care of horses, about taking care of bicycles, about the Palestinian-Israeli conflicts, glass blowing, and much more!
