My name is Abbe and I am currently living and working in Brazil. Before moving here I lived and worked in Chile as an English teacher as well. I graduated college in the United States in May of 2017. I studied Spanish and psychology in college. Some of my personal interests are soccer, running, hiking, music, cooking/eating yummy vegetarian food, and learning language.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have heard great things about this site, and I am hoping to use it to meet new people when I am able to travel in Brazil! I love meeting new people, and truly think that the best way to really get to know a place is to have someone from there show you around!
