Chimborazo: How I “Gaslit” Myself to the Summit
It’s been a while since my last post, and life has been anything but slow! While I’ve had plenty of adventures, a lack of free time and mental bandwidth has kept me from writing. I also continue to grapple with what a blog “should” be. Is it a personal journal, a simple narration of experiences,…

Just Another New Year’s Post
It has been a 2ish months since my last post. I’ve been adventuring, but I have been lacking on time and not having any significant revelations, so hence my lack of writing. However, it feels just wrong to have a blog or social media in general without making the mandatory new year’s post. 1 Year…

HANG TENERIFE
Although it’s been a month, I don’t want to forget what was probably one of the best parts of my traveling… Tenerife. There’s a chance I’m idealizing it now, but Tenerife was definitely the most present I’ve ever felt. The decision to skip Uganda threw everything into disarray. Trying to figure out a new plan…

For The Plot
I don’t remember when I first heard Laura say this phrase, but it has stuck with me for a while and was my go-to motto for their weekend in Spain. Was everything that happened the best planned?

Qué Guay (How Cool)
It is so easy to just to see/do something cool, snap a picture, and say I will blog about them later. But then, each day, (when I am not meditating), I do like 50 more things, so I realized I had to start to blog a little here again! So here is just a dump list…

My New Meditation Practice
Let’s Start Easy: Where is Ashley now? BARCELONA 💃 🎵 Getting Here: Honestly, I don’t remember much. It seems like so long ago, and I guess some parts of my travels are a blur now. I think I landed, took the train to the hostel, and then I was given a tour and some spaghetti?…

Leaving So Soon?
PART 2: Christmas Markets, Cookie Baking, Santa’s Workshop, and so longggg. German Christmas Market While in Germany, I went to not one, but TWO Christmas markets. The first market was VERY large – it was actually so awesome. My only complaint was that my stomach hurt a bit. BUT there were lots beautiful things to…

Flossenbürg Concentration Camp
My Exposure to the Holocaust When I was 12 , I read through most of my middle-school library’s lot of books on the Holocaust. I don’t recall the first book I read, but I remember feeling gripped by each memoir and novel. With every read, I felt more and more connected to the history and…
