My name's abby and I want to connect with my fellow human beings. I love seeing live music, going to art museum and cooking and baking. Yoga, volleyball and cycling are my favorite forms of exercise. I am usually traveling with my boyfriend of 3 years, Matt. He's a funny person and a big ol music nerd. We love our cat Ellie and worry about her if we're gone for more than an hour.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for more authentic interactions with new humans. I want to travel everywhere I possibly can.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love art and talking about nerdy art history stuff. Photography, printmaking, screen printing, watercolor, graphic design. I love to make stuff for other people.
Ignorance is an opportunity. I love Rumi.
I just want to give my heart to everyone I meet. I try to go out of my way so that others around me feel appreciated and understood.
