Hello! I'm Abby. I am a vascular access specialty registered nurse in Arkansas, in the US. My husband is a school teacher and football coach. We love to travel, meet new peeps, and just enjoy life. We have been married for 13 years and enjoy adventurous outings, quiet evenings, nature, historic architecture, real cultural experiences, and great food!! We are American Christians, but are very interested in the cultures, religions, art, and life of the beautiful peoples of the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The hubs and I love travelling the world. We will be needing some affordable places to stay! We LOVE meeting people from different cultures, and love that we have friends all around the world. We find the locals always know the real best places to eat, visit, and spend time. Attractions are great, but we love people, and are so excited about getting to meet more peeps from all over this great world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love all music except rap.... not my thing. Oh man, I am a sucker for a super hero movie, and love love the Lord of the Rings. Bible is my favorite book, but I also love a Wrinkle in Time and the Narnia books. Truthfully, I have probably hundreds of books lying around. My dream is to someday have a huge traditional library with wood walls and one of those rolling ladders! I am a sucker for a dorky history documentary and love to read mission biographies or culture based books about the peoples of the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ridden an elephant thru the jungles of Nepal, Seen Jupiter from the top of a Hawaiian volcano, watched a Hindu funeral in Pashupatinath Temple complex, snorkeled with sharks and sting rays in Belize and Puerto Rico, heard Sunday mass in Notre Dame (pre-fire), volunteered with amazing people in Haiti, Nepal, Ethiopia, and India.......wait that's way more than one....oops

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a few things about health, missions, science, etc. BUT I am way more interested in what you have to teach and what I can learn.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We are tons of fun. Whatever we have, we are into sharing (except each other. We don't share that). We love late night convos, hugs, good food, and just a good time had between people. We are from the South of the US, where everyone is everyone else's friend. We are hospitable and love people. We just believe in treating people well, cuz it's the right thing to do.
