CURRENT MISSION

I am ready to get to know people. I want to go out into the world and really take a good look around. I also would love to have people come stay with me at my home.

ABOUT ME

My name is Ashley. I'm 20 years old and I love meeting new people. Traveling is one of my favorite things to do, and I hope I get to see the whole world before I die. I'm friendly, goofy, and easy-going. I like to go out and have a good time, but I would say that I'm also very reliable and responsible. I like to go out to eat. I have a great family, with whom I am living while I finish college. My sister Carolyn (14) is my best friend. She is as eager to have a surfer here as I am. We spend a great deal of time together and we both cannot wait to meet YOU! Right now, I'm going to school to become a Spanish teacher and possibly to earn my ESL cert to be able to teach abroad. I love to eat sushi, read, laugh, go to the city, eat out and, above all, I love to show people around. If you wanted to get to know the east coast of the US a little bit, I would tell you that my home in South Jersey is a great place to visit. I live 15 minutes from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 45 minutes from the beach, and 2 hours from New York City. I am a huge culprit of talking your ear off. I love to make my guests feel comfortable and at home. I'll show you around the area if you would want to see it. We could go out for a night on the town with my awesome and loveable best friends, Courtney and Bridget ( I have a few pictures of them). Just know that we cannot wait to have a couch surfer come to see us, and we hope that you'll accept the warm and hospitable invitation the Marks family is extending to you!

**Please Note: I am listed as an "Expert" in the Spanish Language. I will always consider myself a student in this because I am constantly learning new things.

Si español es su única lengua, yo puedo acomodarle fácilmente. Mi familia no habla español, pero ellos son muy simpáticos y más que dispuestos a aprender un poco español y ayudarle. Nosotros queremos hacerle sentir bienvenido!
