Discover Culture with Ashleigh

     You may notice that my tour prices look a little different than you may have seen recently, or in the past. 

     I have updated all upcoming tours to be land only packages - meaning that airfare is not included in the price.  "Why would you do that", you may ask.  The simple answer is to make the tours easier to book for my guests.  

     In the past I always included airfare from SeaTac, but the reality is not all my guests are flying from SeaTac area anymore.  In addition many guests want to fly in earlier, stay longer, upgrade their tickets, use credit card points, or do a multi city or country trip.  

     I did not make the decision to make life harder for you - in fact I am trying to make it easier so here is my 100% guarantee: I am still here to help facilitate booking your flight!  I can suggest the best flights, the best airlines, and help you navigate the hassle of booking your flight.  If you want me to book your flight & airport pick up/drop off and send you an invoice I can of course do that with a small fee. 

Hi, I’m Ashleigh. Your travel buddy and adventure guide! Since 2012 I have shared my love of traveling and adventuring to far off destinations.  To date (August 2025) I,  along with my trusted sidekick Mark (my husband)  have guided 35 tour groups through China, Thailand, and Bali.  What's next you may ask... Why adding South Africa to the tour lineup as well as an entirely new concept of scuba dive tours to some of my favorite destinations.  

 I’ve always believed that the best way to explore a place is the way a friend would show you: discovering hidden corners, tasting the food locals love, and soaking up those little magical moments you can’t find in a guidebook.

Travel has been my passion since I was a kid, in fact I took my first flight when I was only 4 days old. At 40 years old I decide to make my love of travel a full time lifestyle and moved to Koh Lanta, Thailand - an island in the Andaman Sea.  Living here in Thailand has only made me fall deeper in love with sharing culture, food, and stories. I created these tours so you can experience the beauty, excitement, and soul of this place in a fun, relaxed way—no rush, no stress, just real connections and great memories.

Whether it’s wandering through colorful markets, hopping on a boat to explore the islands, or sitting down to share a meal together, I’m here to make sure your journey feels easy, joyful, and unforgettable.

So grab your sense of adventure—I can’t wait to explore with you!
