Hiya! My name is Abby, and I am a minimalist vegan! I am currently studying Conservation Biology at the College of Environmental Science and Forestry in New York. I am originally from Austin, Texas where I developed an insane love for live music! I love, love, love traveling, hiking, and exploring the world. I feel like I don't need a lot in life to make me happy and to live my fullest life. I just need an adventure and the courage to step into that adventure.

I love all people and all animals, and I bring only compassion with me wherever I go. I love meeting new people and hearing their stories and learning about their walks of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am an avid explorer, and I love chasing after new opportunities and destinations. I want to experience as much of the world as I can, and I feel like Couchsurfing will help me reach these goals. I love learning about the uniqueness of every individual person and hearing their own stories and aspirations. I think it would be amazing to travel somewhere and see that area from the eyes of a current resident.
