Ashley’s first trip abroad took her to Budapest, Hungary for a month and she has been itching to travel ever since! "My favorite part of travelling is becoming totally immersed in a new culture.” Some of Ashley’s fondest travel memories are from her studies in France and her time volunteering in Northern Thailand. No matter where she travels to, Ashley always plunges herself into the local traditions and ways of life. Ashley’s list of off the beaten path experiences include attending a Ligue 1 soccer match in Lyon, France, hiking Taroko National Park in Taiwan, and visiting monks in various villages of Northern Thailand!
