Hey hey! I'm Charlene, a designer and DJ based in NYC. Before moving to New York City I lived in Tel Aviv, Israel where I started my very own brand of urban streetwear, Charkbate International :)

As a DJ, bringing people together through music and dance is one of my biggest pleasures. I'm known for my uplifting sets that include Afro-Caribbean music such as dancehall, afrobeats, reggaeton and afro house.

I love meeting new people and absorbing new culture and experiences. Travel and adventure are at the top of my list when I'm not working on music or fashion. While I'm on the road I love documenting the people and places I encounter with my film camera.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new and like-minded people and gain local perspective on location when I travel!
