I'm Karys! I'm small and ginger and like going to festivals and gigs. I play lots of musical instruments (trying to work out how to bring a guitar in my hand luggage!).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm trying to get to every big European city before I'm thirty (using only work holidays!). I would love to get to know new people around the continent and check out the music scene in every country. This is my first time couchsurfing but I promise to do the washing up if you host me ;)

Interests

I am a huge history fan. I studied it at University and I love finding out new things when I am abroad.

• working out
• music

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - I like indiepop, twee or anti-folk bands mostly e.g. Tullycraft, Belle & Sebastian, Allo Darlin, The Burning Hell, Herman Dune, Dollarsigns, Los Campesinos, The Lovely Eggs, Modest Mouse, The Mountain Goats, Neutral Milk Hotel. Special mention to Dinosaur Jr, The Vaselines, The Wedding Present, Husker Du. You get the gist!

Film - I am useless at films, I haven't seen many of the 'classics'.

Books - I read sometimes, I like reading but I never seem to have time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once walked into a Mariachi band-off in Seville - lots of Spanish bands playing each other in the street - that was ace!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a web developer & digital marketing manager by trade - if you need any help with social media for businesses, emails, websites etc. I can probably help you out.

I can teach you some ukulele chords too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you have a guitar, I'll play you some songs too :)
