Hi, I'm Ashley.

I have always loved to travel and experience other languages, cultures, and cuisine. I grew up in the US but spent 2011-2015 living and working in Bangkok Thailand. Currently I'm back in Portland Oregon working for a tech company and spending some time near my family for awhile. However I'm always planning my next trip and adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find traveling a much more rewarding experience when you branch out and make new friends, especially locals who can show you another side of the place you are staying, aside from the touristic one.
