Hello! I am Abigail, but you can call me Abbie. I am currently a working, full-time student pursuing her career of becoming a teacher. When I am not working, I am enjoying quality time with my family, my fur baby Oreo, and my friends. If I were to pick three words to describe myself they would be: compassionate, joyful, & adaptable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because I am preparing to take several international trips, and instead of relying on the commercialism of traveling and all, I really want to meet and spend my time with the locals and immense myself in new cultures, make new friends, and create lasting memories.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is a major part of my life. Instruments that I play: piano, guitar, uke, mallet percussion. Whether it be driving in the car, at the gym, or to calm myself music plays a giant role in who I am as a person.

Artists I am currently listening to: Johnnyswim, Coldplay, Novo Amor, M83, Bruno Mars, Nat King Cole, Michael Buble, Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, Shallou, Alicia Keys, Kelly Clarkson, Keane, Khalid, Ella Fitzgerald.

Movies: anything Disney/Pixar, Forest Gump, The Fault in our Stars, Chicago, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Midnight in Paris, The Princess Bride... I love movies that make me laugh. Not so much a horror-movie person unfortunately.

Books: The Kite Runner, The Great Gatsby, Snow Falling on Cedars, The Secret Garden, The Little Princess, Divergent Series, The Sun Also Rises, Fahrenheit 451, Uninvited.
