My name is Ashley & I currently live in Pacific Grove,Ca.
I Am a student at UCSC. Right now I'm studying Psychology, although my true passions are music, writing & photography.
I enjoy being around people who would rather be out under the stars then in a loud bar. That being said I don't mind a good meal & a glass of wine.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Since I work at a place where so many travelers from around the world come into I have realized that being open to bringing more people into your life and shedding a little happiness can not do much harm.

Philosophy

"You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should." - Desiderata

"The eyes of others our prisons; their thoughts our cages." - Virginia Woolf

"The love, lust and longing: reasons, but not the reason." -Robinson Jeffers

"I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids - and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me." -Ralph Ellison , Invisible Man

"My wisdom is as spurned as chaos. What is my nothingness, compared to the amazement that awaits you?" - Lives I, A. Rimbaud
