Hi, I’m Chantal, a curious traveler currently living a digital nomad life. I was born and raised on the U.S.–Mexico border in a German-Peruvian family, so multiculturalism and meaningful conversation are my love languages. I work remotely as a designer and artist and spend my free time exploring new cities, learning languages, working on my art/exploring the local art scene, and diving into nature whenever I can.

I'll pretty much always will have lodging figured out when I'm going somewhere so I don't necessarily need to be hosted. Using CS to meet locals and make friends!

**Using CS to meet travellers and locals, so please don’t reach out if you have any other intentions.**

**Estoy usando CS para conocer a viajeros y lugareños, así que no mandes mensaje si tienes otras intenciones.**

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I genuinely love connecting with people from different walks of life. Traveling solo as a digital nomad can get lonely at times, and I’ve found that the most meaningful part of any place is the people I meet there. I’m here to share stories, meals, laughs, and hopefully build lasting friendships along the way.
