Hey! As you've probably figured out already, my name is Karsten. I'm 20 years old, currently studying Sociology at the University of Bath. When I'm not working on my degree, I dedicate my time to as much social interaction and music as possible. I'm a drummer, guitarist and ukuleleist - I always fancy a jam! I love meeting new people, interacting and creating memories with individuals as well as groups, especially through music. I've had a close group of friends based in Bath who frequently host couchsurfers, so I've been in close contact with couch-surfing, just never done it myself! I look forward to meeting all of you who I come across on my travels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, discover different sides of cities I haven't seen before and to explore as much as I can!
