Hi there :)

My name is Abigail, my mom wanted me to have a beautiful biblical name with an actual meaning. Mine means "the happiness of the father" or "happiness". I got it because apparently I was born with such a mad face that even my grandmother was scared of me - true story! - LOL. Apparently the name worked out because I'm known to be a very smiley person and I get compliments for my laugh, weird, I know!
Anyhow, I am a professional classical musician, Singer to be exact. I'm originally from Southeast México, my home state is called Yucatán. I've lived in Vienna for the past 9 years due to my studies. I just recently moved back to my hometown, it's really a BIG change.
I'm a vegetarian for over 6 years now and currently transitioning to veganism. I love to cook, discovering new music, traveling. I like smart people that are humble and funny. Smart and funny is a wonderful combination, those are the people I like to be surrounded by. I consider myself rather open, I think respect is the most important thing in any human interaction. We might not agree in how we see life but as long as we dont hurt others I think everyone deserves respect and we shouldn't be jugdemental. It's 2018 please! I'm also a practicing christian and is very important for me to find people that respect my faith and my love towards God just as I respect people from all creeds.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet people from different cultures. Although I have a bit of a fascination with asian cultures, I feel some how we have a lot in common although we are very different :) Now that'm back home I'm mostly interesting in meeting new people, specially open minded.

Interests

Music and cooking are my biggest passions. As a teenager I wanted to be a chef and at the end I decided to study Classical Singing. I love traveling, visit new places, eating new foods, getting to know new cultures and ways of thinking. I'm a vegetarian and I'm very passioned about animal wellbeing. I'm a spiritual person and try to be compasioned towards others and be there for people. I like art in general, I enjoy a lot going to museums and reading about the places where I'm going. I like a lot to visit churches in Europe, for me they are living art pieces.
