I'm a certified yoga teacher 🧘🏼‍♀️ but also love tons of other kinds of fitness. I'm really into clean eating but also really into cheese fries. I laugh at everything and my friends make fun of me for it 😆
I like trying new things and having new experiences! I want to always feel challenged and stretched in life.
I love the outdoors of all sorts but the beach especially is my jam 🌊🌴

I love hosting people and making new friends but unfortunately at this point I'm not able to host anyone due to my roommates’ preferences. 😔

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and meet people and to learn about different cultures and different walks of life. I hate the idea of visiting a new place and only doing the tourist-y things and not really experiencing the depth of the culture or the people. Places are great, but the people are what makes traveling so amazing. I'd much rather make friends in a new place than stay in a hotel and keep to myself!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music all across the board. Except for screamo and the super hick kind of country music... not my thing.
I'm obsessed with Harry Potter. The Heat is hilarious... really anything with Melissa McCarthy. Parks and Rec. Peaky Blinders (s/o to all Netflix originals in general 😍) Also super into true crime podcasts and shows like Criminal Minds and such

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved to France without knowing anyone or anything about it. (I know this is normal for you Europeans but it's quite uncommon in America :P) The only thing I could say in French at first was, 'je m'appelle Abby'... and "papillon" (butterfly)... although knowing that word didn’t help much..

Teach, Learn, Share

"We travel because we need to; because distance and difference are the secret tonic to creativity. When we get home, home is still the same, but something in our minds has changed, and that changes everything."

I believe that no matter what age, religion, occupation, lifestyle, or gender, that we all have something to give and to learn from each other.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm always willing to help others with their English! Maybe even teach a little yoga 😋 And I do my best to leave places and people better than when I found them. I'm not looking for a place to crash but really for more friendships! I can hang with pretty much any sort of conversation.
