About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To leave no stone unturned

ABOUT ME

Abbie spent her college breaks traveling for credit. She was in Costa Rica for photography, Montreal for French, Kenya for conservation and the Phillippines for a peace project. She graduated with a BA, MA in Psych and is working on her PsyD.

PHILOSOPHY

If an opportunity presents itself, it's up to you to take it. No "I wish I had"'s. I talk to people in elevators.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can help you with information about most states. I'm great at bargain hunting and will share my knowledge. I'm under treatment for cancer so I can't have visitors at this time, but I will be glad to meet up.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed and camped for 4 months all over the US
in 1980.We couchsurfed in Europe. I have hosted friends and relatives for years.

Interests

Abbie loves to take dance and teach dance. She is studying Psychology. I read constantly and scrapbook all my adventures. I have toured all 50 states, parts of Europe, Costa Rica, Mexico and the Caribbean.
I spent a semester in Ghana, West Africa. Abbie studied abroad and hopes to visit every continent.
