My name's tash, i recently graduated university in Bristol, UK and am now spending most of my time either converting my van (my home), training to become a circus performer, or adventuring somewhere or other! My main passions are any kind of exploring and adventuring (be that climbing, hiking, watersports, or anything else i can try my hand at), building and crafting, making music and generally being creative with my time.

Whilst i am based in bristol, i like to spend as much of my time as possible travelling throughout the UK and abroad, either in my van or through whatever means possible. I love exploring new places, meeting new people and learning about anything and everything.

Currently i am looking to spend march in valencia studying at a circus school, and am therefore looking for a place to stay and some people to meet and learn from as well as share my skills with. If you can offer me something relevant please get in touch! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would always rather exchange skills, knowledge and happiness when I'm travelling rather than dealing in soulless monetary exchanges.

Interests

My main passion is music: both playing it and listening to it. My main instrument is guitar but I play a bit of ukulele, harmonica, piano, and am currently trying to teach myself drums - with a table as a drum kit and whatever is at hand that resembles drumsticks!
I go to live gigs as often as possible: usually small up-and-coming bands/artists on the underground scene. Mainly into folk/punk/rock stuff but wouldn't restrict my music taste to those genres by any means - recently I've been loving spoken word...

I also love sports (running, rock climbing, cycling, swimming - pretty much all sports), exploring London (and indeed the whole world), reading and meeting new friends, to name a few things.

I haven't had the chance yet, but love the idea of constantly travelling and being on the move - I don't like staying in one place or sticking to doing the same things for too long!
