Hey Everyone! My name is Charles Chansa and I am from Zambia, but now, I am currently studying at New York University in Abu Dhabi. I have lived here for 6 weeks now, and I love this place! I really enjoy conversation, classical music and adventure; I am an outgoing person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have lived here for 6 weeks, and they have been really busy so far. But now, I am taking a week of school to finally enjoy the UAE. My friends and I are travelling across the Emirates and would like to gain the whole UAE experience by staying with somebody who knows anything about the Emirate culture so as to enhance my knowledge and experience of the UAE.
