Hi! I'm Ashley and I'm originally from California. Except for a four year stint in Las Vegas where I got my degree in Hospitality Management, I have divided my time between Northern and Southern California.

In September 2015, I left for a one year (maybe more?) world tour starting in Southeast Asia. I plan on moving slowly and thoroughly through as many cities, countries and regions as I can and documenting my travels on my website, http://offacrossthesea.com. If you're curious about what I've been up, feel free to check it out!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During my year (or more?) off, I plan to stretch money as much as possible and reach out to locals for a deeper experience in each place I visit.

Interests

Traveling, eating, drinking, talking, walking, exploring. Oh and I love the water--on it, in it, near it, and I'm one happy camper!
