Description

Hello!

My name is Ash and I am from England. I am very open minded, confident and easy going, I would also like to think I am a fun person. Always up for an adventure, taking every opportunity to experience new things and see new sights! I am particularly interested in experiencing new cultures, off-grid living, meditation/yoga, adventure sports and learning the history of wherever I visit.

I have spent much of my adult life travelling the world, allowing me the opportunity to work and volunteer in some incredible places, meet some fantastic people and have some truly life changing experiences. I am on workaway as I wanted to continue this lifestyle, learning from the fantastic hosts and fellow workawayers, and sharing my experiences too.

Your life is your story, write the best one you can!
