Ashley is editor/writer for HoneymoonAlways.

She grew up in New Orleans and loves to celebrate special occasions (or random Wednesdays) with fabulous food and wine at a beautiful restaurant. On trips, she’s always seeking the perfect mix of ambiance and deliciousness.
The beach is her happy place and she has about a million photos of the sun setting over the water (as well as a handful of sunrises).
She believes that travel is a direct path to joy and finds it really fun to wander around a new location, discovering hidden gems. She feels that when we travel, we open ourselves up to new perspectives and interactions that enlarge and enrich our lives.
When she’s not traveling, she reads about travel.
