About

Hi! My name is Ashleigh and this is my travel blog. For years now, I’ve been trying to carve out my corner of the Internet. I’ve tried a food blog, but quickly discovered how expensive it is to try a new restaurant every week.  I’ve been the co-host of the Generation Mouse, Disney Podcast. Now, I hope this will be a place to share the world, as I see it. 

I am a hobbyist photographer with a focus on travel photography. I enjoy exploring every corner of my home state of Michigan. I love to Go, See, Do, and Explore near and far. I hope to one day see all corners of the earth and to share my journey with you. I am passionate about seeing the world on a budget and getting out there are much as possible! To read some of my tips for how to get the best travel for your dollars, read my How to Save Money While Traveling post.

A camera has always been a must-have accessory for me. I remember as a kid, carrying around my Mickey Mouse camera and in high school annoying my friends with the flash from my disposable camera. I never want to miss a photo-worthy moment!

I strongly believe that the gear does not make the photographer. Don’t be intimidated to get into photography because you can’t afford pro-level gear. Its surprising how much you can do with an iPhone these days! If you’re curious about what’s in my camera bag, check out my gear page!
