Ashley grew up in Bend, Oregon, where her thirst for adventure and off-the-beaten path experiences ignited at a young age. She enjoys snowboarding, rock climbing, fly fishing, backpacking, and of course, traveling.  An outdoor enthusiast and animal lover, Ashley embraces her dad's belief that nature will always provide you with a gift.  At age 19, she took a month-long journey through Europe by train, sparking a lifelong passion for exploration.  Since then, she has backpacked around Hawaii, circled Iceland in a camper van, explored the rain forests of Costa Rica and Belize, trekked through Alaska's wilderness, experienced the untamed beauty of Antarctica, and snorkeled alongside playful sea lions in the Galápagos Islands.  At Expedition Trips, Ashley channels her love for adventure into helping others plan unforgettable journeys.

Growing up in Florida, Megan’s passion for exploring wild places and adventurous travel was sparked by childhood ski trips to the Rocky Mountains and a cruise through Alaska’s Inside Passage. After earning a degree in Environmental Science, she set out to experience the world — discovering every corner of New Zealand while living in her campervan, trekking in the Swiss Alps, slow-traveling Australia’s east coast for two years, immersing herself in the cultures of Japan and Indonesia, and most recently walking over 550 miles on a solo journey along Spain’s Camino de Santiago. Whether hiking remote trails or sampling authentic local cuisine, she finds immense joy in getting off the beaten path and appreciating the diverse cultures of faraway places. Megan draws on over a decade of experience in high-end hospitality and brings a keen eye for detail to every behind-the-scenes task. She believes travel opens space for reflection and broader perspective, and is thrilled to be part of a team that helps others create unforgettable adventures rooted in connecting with the natural world.
