Travel With Ashley

Come Along
With Me

Join me on thoughtfully planned journeys around the world. From custom-designed adventures to river cruises with carefully arranged experiences before and after we sail, these are trips created to experience together.

Hosted Journeys With Ashley

More Than One Way to See the World

Travel With Ashley brings together journeys I want to experience and share with other travelers. Some are custom-designed land itineraries, while others center around a carefully selected river cruise and may include additional experiences before or after the sailing. Every trip is different, but the goal is the same: experience somewhere memorable together.

Custom Journey

Custom-Designed Adventures

Journeys such as Australia and Germany's Christmas markets are built around the destination itself, bringing accommodations, transportation and experiences together into one thoughtfully planned itinerary.

River Cruise Journey

Cruise — And Experience More

Select journeys center around a river cruise, with additional arrangements before and/or after the sailing when included in that departure. It's a way to enjoy life on the river without limiting the experience to the cruise alone.

More Than An Itinerary

What It's Like to Travel With Me

I've spent more than 28 years in travel and visited more than 77 countries. Along the way, I've learned that some of the best travel memories aren't simply about where you go—they're about how you experience a place.

That's the idea behind Travel With Ashley. On one journey, we might unpack aboard a river ship and watch Europe unfold from the water. On another, we might explore Australia or experience Germany during the festive Christmas market season on a custom itinerary.

These aren't trips I'm simply putting online. They're journeys I'm looking forward to experiencing alongside you.

Different destinations. Different ways to travel. One invitation: come along with me.

Choose Your Kind of Adventure

By Land or By River

The itinerary changes from trip to trip because the best way to experience one destination isn't always the best way to experience another.

Custom Journeys

Designed Around the Destination

Our custom hosted trips are built as complete land journeys rather than following a cruise itinerary.

Hotels, transportation, experiences and the flow of the itinerary are brought together around the destination and the specific journey we're taking.

River Cruise Journeys

Unpack Once. Experience More.

Our river cruise departures combine the ease of traveling aboard ship with the opportunity to experience multiple destinations along the river.

Depending on the specific departure, additional pre- or post-cruise arrangements may extend the journey beyond the sailing itself.

Why Travel With Ashley?

Travel has been part of my life for more than 28 years. I've visited more than 77 countries, planned hundreds of custom journeys and continue exploring the world throughout the year.

Travel With Ashley gives me the opportunity to turn that experience into journeys we can share—from custom itineraries built around a destination to river cruises that become part of a larger travel experience.

I want these trips to be about more than getting from one place to another. They're about experiencing somewhere worth remembering.
