Hi there. Ashley here.

Welcome to the digital nomads + bucket list travelers scrapbook of AWESOMENESS!
Psst…this travel blog isn’t for you if you don’t like swearing.
Sorry, not sorry.

Funny story, I was given the Ever Wander nickname by an ex-boyfriend.
The nickname stuck, but I ever wandered my ass right out of that sitch. Bye!

Most travel blogs are fake, overly curated, + littered with toxic positivity. Barf! But, not this one. Trust me, it’s filled with EPIC shit, but it also shares the real side of travel. The shit other travel folks gloss over. I have a lil secret…it isn’t so glamorous!

Travel is AMAZEBALLS…but…travel is also FRUSTRATING, EXHAUSTING, DEFEATING, + HARD AF! Like no joke. Shit gets real all too often. Don’t get it twisted…I wouldn’t trade my life for anything, but traveling isn’t for everyone.

So, how’d I get here? Read on.

For 10 miserable years, I was dry humped up and down the all mighty American Corporate ladder. And, in May 2019, I finally decided to stop eating shit politely with a knife + fork, and said “FUCK IT! I’m out.”

I ran out of PATIENCE + TOLERANCE for shitty bosses, empty promises, office politics, back channeling + backstabbing, grin fucking, endless red tape, smoking + drinking to get ahead, + everyone’s favorite….the meeting about the meeting. Argh! Really, people?! [Queue the Xanax]

After searching my soul and what not, I realized fear + false narratives [ex. travel isn’t safe for a single female] were dictating my life way too much. So, I decided to change that by getting comfortable with the uncomfortable. I refuse to die with a single regret [not even one letter – if you know, you know]. I’m living my life for me, no matter who I have to piss off or let go of.

In 2020, I traded in 95% of our possessions for a more experience-based life + hit the road in September 2021. That last sentence makes it sound easy…but I’ll assure you…getting rid of 95% of my things wasn’t…it was terrifying yet strangely liberating all at the same time. Luckily, my passion for travel, wandering, trying new things, + CROSSING OFF BUCKET LIST ITEMS, superseded old family heirlooms + the newest kitchen gadget. I was finally back in control. Not my stuff.

I’m committed to visiting 100+ countries across all 7 continents [already done]. And, I want to take you with me. Whether you’re…family, in my current friend circle, a friend I’m destined to meet, are a fellow digital nomad, travel curious, and/or secret haters. I promise to share all the stories…no matter how AWESOME, BAD, EMBARRASSING, or FRUSTRATING they are, because I fully embrace the Ever Wander way of EXPLORING, EXPERIENCING, + EVOLVING.

Come Ever Wander with me. No passport required. For now, at least.

If you’re an intelligent, independent, successful female in your 20’s or 30’s banging your head in middle management, and you want out. Or, you’re an ambitious couple sick of the American Dream rhetoric and want to live a more experience-based life, by becoming full-time digital nomad that checks off bucket list items vs. buying more things, you’ve found the right place.

If conventional life no longer passes the sniff test, I’m here to tell you…your spidey sense isn’t wrong! Just know, you’re not alone. It’s time to bust out of the hamster wheel + forge your own path! Come on. Do it already! You won’t regret it. Plus, it’ll make one hell of a story!

And, I can’t wait to hear it,
