hi.

Hi, I’m Abigail Bates: a writer, a lover, + a child of the ocean. Born under the sun-drenched skies of San Diego, I’ve spent 24 years dancing through life, finding beauty in the rhythms of the tides, and the moon, and my bodily connection to the earth. Whether I’m pretending to surf or collecting sea glass, the ocean is both my muse + my home, filling me with magic as I weave my love for nature, holistic living, and human connection into my writing.
