Hi, I’m Ash, aka the Still Life Nomad! At 23 years old, I’ve set out on an extraordinary journey to explore the world one working holiday visa at a time. As a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community and an advocate for accessible travel, I believe that adventure should be within reach for everyone—regardless of mental or physical challenges or the size of your wallet.

With just a carry-on suitcase and a trusty backpack, I’ve embraced the beauty of minimalist travel. Along the way, I’ve discovered my passion for meeting new people, learning languages, and immersing myself in the vibrant cultures that make each destination unique. Whether I’m hiking breathtaking trails, exploring local art scenes, or cooking a world-inspired dish, I find joy in connecting deeply with the world around me.

Traveling on a low budget has taught me the art of resourcefulness, and I love sharing my tips and tricks to help others do the same. From navigating new places to embracing spontaneity, every experience shapes my understanding of life and broadens my horizons.

When I’m not exploring, you can find me researching and planning my next steps, learning a new phrase in a foreign language, or savoring the simplicity of being in nature. My journey is about more than just travel—it’s about finding community, embracing discomfort, and living life fully.

Let’s embark on this adventure together and prove that with a little creativity and a lot of heart, the world truly is within reach.

Seek discomfort.
