CURRENT MISSION

Live life to the fullest

ABOUT ME

Chantal: female, 28, loves cats (and has one), teaches classical ballet to children in the age of primary school, is also a primary teacher but is currently obtaining her master's degree in International Business Communication, has her own travel blog (http://www.footstepsabroad.com).

Younes: male, 25, is allergic to cats (quite a big problem in our relationship, LOL), works in the gym, studies International Business & Languages.

We both love to dance, salsa/bachata. That's also how we met; we were dance partners :). We love to travel and as we are both from a different culture, are very open-minded and easy going.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As couchsurfers we will participate like friendly, respectful people. We're not just looking for a free place to stay or a place to hang out to get drunk. We're more like 'romantic travellers', and are looking for a reliable host to really get to know and maybe, to become friends with. We're interested in experiencing the culture, the experiences and stories of people, the vibe of the city. Not, the vibe of each bar!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We were hosted by two different persons in NYC: in the centre of Manhattan and in The Bronx. It was an amazing experience and we're looking forward to the next CS experience!

Interests

Chantal: Art, dance, salsa/ bachata, city life, travelling, learning new languages, buying fake Ray Ban's, writing her blog.

Younes: Working out in the gym, salsa/ bachata, food, travelling, music, movies.
