She is now ready to go on a journey of self-discovery, and is hoping Honeymoon Island will help her find the one. She is looking for a partner who is "handsome, well-dressed, has a nice build, a beard, and swishy hair or a buzz cut".

As for personality, Hannah is looking for a guy who is quietly confident, a strong communicator and creative.
