My name is Ashley and I’m 24 years old. Ashley is a very common name in the USA so I’d preferred to be called Ash. I have a dog that I call my baby. Her name is Luna Snow. I have a serious face but inside I’m love-able haha. I like to have fun both the safe kind and the wild kind. I’m open minded I am down to try new things. I am a very upfront person. I like to say things as it is. I’ve travelled to Bosnia & Croatia before but it was less of an adventure since I was there to visit my boyfriends family for the first time. I then drifted on my own for a few days to visit Paris, France and that was an adventure! Sadly, it only lasted about 5 days. I met up with my friend Nicole there. She made it the best 5 days for me and I want more now. I realized how isolated I was, thinking traveling was a scary and dangerous thing and that you had to be rich to travel safe. I was wrong.
I want to be able to travel the world and meet all the beautiful people that reside all over the world. Make new friends! As well as overcome certain fears, learn about myself, achieve certain goals I’ve set for myself, and most importantly feel free. I hope I can inspire and motivate other people to do the same. I hope I can be helpful during my travels. I always wanted to make friends all over the world and experience their culture and way of life. It’s fascinating to me.

**update**
It’s been a year since I traveled in 2018. Here I am in 2019 wishing I could travel some more.....and I will.
I just wanted to let you guys know through the app I met so many wonderful people and only had 1 bad experience with a person I stayed with who tried to get touchy but after threatening to leave, he left me alone and it didn’t escalate nor was he cruel. Something just took the best out of him and trust I didn’t seduce him okurrr! Yes, I did leave a bad review (Girls be careful).
Moving on..... I did just what I set out to do and that was to meet new friends all over the world as well as live like a local. I didn’t do much touristy things but I did happen to snap some pictures of monuments I passed by. No, I didn’t pay to visit anything. Out of 200+ people I met 5 people are truly my best friends now and I love so much. The BEST way I can describe my experience is a TRUE FEELING OF FREEDOM. FREEDOM!

Update Dec 2021
I’m currently in Asia hoping to travel around for 6 months. I’m enjoying my long holiday and connecting with so many people. Message me if you’re interested in meeting up.
(This is not tinder for me! Genuine connections through friendship only!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on here because I want to learn more about myself and meet people around the world. Have long lasting friendships and each place I visit I want to be able to take a memory with me and learn something new. For me, memories last forever.

Music, Movies, and Books

Pop, R&B, EDM, Classical mainly but I love all styles of music. Fav movies that I can think of right now would be Mad Max, The Planet of the Apes, Avatar, Mean girls, & XMen. I love action and comedy movies. I don’t have a favorite book since I can read just about anything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled to other countries duh! Another thing that I think is amazing is that I do “random act of kindness”. I push myself to do it at least twice a month. I’ve volunteered my time to feed the homeless, I’ve donated money, clothes, and food. Ive paid respect to the elderly down in the Retirement homes. I can’t think of more now but I think that’s pretty amazing. To give back to people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Spanish, apply makeup, paint some art (I’m not the best), cook some Mexican dishes & how to get creative. I want to travel to learn more about myself and learn about the world outside of my country. I want to make new friends, learn new skills, & share memories with the people I meet and hope to always remain friends. If you’re ever in Dallas, Texas I will show you around.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Myself and my handy self! Help around the house. I can teach you Spanish. I also like to paint so we can always get a little creative. I can also share my experiences in hopes to inspire you to travel and I hope I can give a comforting vibes so that we can one day travel together in the future. My plans to travel don’t end this year. I plan on traveling again and maybe we can link up when I do. The purpose of my travel will be to explore and make new friends. I will share with you my time. Maybe tag along with you when you go to the market or run errands. Hang out and go do some activities.
