Bio
My name’s Ashley, I’ve got a serious passion for travel, culture, and experiencing all that this wonderful world has to offer.
I travelled quite a bit while I was growing up but really got my passion for long term travel when I studied abroad my junior year, in Florence, Italy and got to do quite a bit of backpacking trips around Europe. After my year aboard, returning to NYC to finish school, I soon had that serious travel depression that I’m sure you all know about if you have ever taken a trip. I kept myself busy and soon landed a job in the fashion industry that I had for the past 5 years. It was exactly what I wanted to do while I was in school but I always felt like something was missing. Although I did travel abroad a few times (vacation time in the USA is 2 weeks a year) I knew I had to get out and explore the world again. After saving a decent amount of money, I bought a one-way ticket to Bangkok, sold all of my belongings, and quit my job. What I thought was going to be a 6-month backpacking trip exploring Southeast Asia has turned into almost 2 years traveling. The world has so much to offer, you just gotta get out and go live in it!
