Ashley Chalmers

While her very first trip abroad with her family may be the most memorable—who can forget a Beatles’ tour of London & Liverpool?—Ashley didn’t realize her passion for travelling until a week-long trip to Greece in 2008 changed everything. Since then, she's visited over 40 countries, ticking over a dozen off her list during a 5-month RTW adventure with her husband. Originally from outside of Philadelphia, Ashley has called New York City and the Île-de-France home but is now based full-time in London. Day-to-day, she's a freelance writer and chief adventure planner for her husband and two little ones, and you can find Ashley's other travel tales on her blog, The Lazy Travelers, which she co-runs with her best friend.
