About AshleyPaige
I am a 23-year-old anthropology student who loves adventure and seeing the world and its beautiful cultures! I have been traveling since I was 4-years-old, but as I got older, and was actually able to remember and experience my travels I fell more and more in love with it. After traveling to Italy as a senior in high school I fell in love with archaeology and differences in culture, which is what led me to majoring in anthropology in college. I started this blog to share my travel experiences, and learn from fellow-travelers, and to try to inspire others to travel, but now it has grown into something I love and have a passion for.
I have a real passion for traveling and want to go everywhere, not just to say I have done it, but to experience a lifestyle different from my own, and learn more about others and myself! The motto of my life is a famous quote by Mark Twain:
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than
by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch
the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
.
I would love to collaborate with other travel writers, magazines, travel agencies, airlines or anything involving travel. If you’re interested or have any information, you can email me at fortheloveofwanderlust@aol.com.
For a list of all my posts from A to Z you can click here.
I have a weekly post that I do called “Wanderlust Wednesday” all about things that inspire travel and you can find links to all of those posts here.
Also, if you’re curious about the destinations that I have blogged about you can find those here.
For more posts and travel articles I find interesting ‘like’ the For the Love of Wanderlust page on Facebook. Simply click HERE.

I just checked out your blog and you sound like a younger version of me! I recently watched Midnight in Paris and loved it! Especially since I spent my junior year abroad in Paris (way back in 2003!!!!)….anyway, I saw you checked out my blog about Machu Picchu…check out my thirdeyemom blog as well! ALso, I didn’t see a “subscribe” button on your site….is it there? I’d love to get emails of new posts!
Thanks for checking out my my blog! I love your thirdeyemom blog! I just added a subscribe button, thanks for asking about that. I think the fact that I’m still learning about blogging is showing!
Definitely subscribe, and now that I know that exists, I’m going to subscribe to yours as well! Thanks!
Didn’t midnight in Paris seriously make you want to go back?
That’s an amazing picture, inspiring, it captures the mood of your blog perfectly.
Thank you very much, and thank you for subscribing to my blog!
wanderlust Wednesdays what a great idea. Very inspiration
Thank you! I love looking at that kind of stuff and think about travel all the time, and it allows me to blog when I’m not traveling! Thanks for reading!
Great blog Ashley..Thanks for visiting mine.
Thanks for returning the favor and stopping by mine!
Hi Ashley,
We seem to be kindred spirits. I can’t get enough of traveling to all parts of the globe. Thanks for commenting on my blog, Cancer Hits the Streets.
I’ll be back to read more!
Cynthia
Hi Cynthia! Thanks for stopping by my blog; I think we are kindred spirits, and that’s what I’m loving most about the WordPress Community because I’ve gotten to meet so many people that feel the same about travel! I can’t wait to see where your feet take you and read about your adventures!
Greetings from a fellow Paige! Looking forward to trading ideas as we wander (on past each other, perhaps?)
Well, hello, fellow Paige! Thanks for stopping by my blog, I can’t wait to read more about your travels. I really love the quotes you put with your photos! Can’t wait to read more!
Ashely,
Love the Twain quote and your blog. I’ve got a few years on you (more than a few!) and have always found time and money to travel, even when it seemed impossible. I wish you many adventures and a wonderful life! –kathy
Kathy,
Thanks for stopping by my blog, and the compliment on it! That Mark Twain quote is probably my favorite quote of all time. I’m glad to hear that you think the time and money is well worth it. I can’t imagine my life without travels! Thanks for commenting and I hope you also have many adventures and a beautiful life!
Hi Ashley,
Thanks for giving my start up travel blog a visit. I’ve been traveling for 10 years, and have amassed a collection of photos and stories that I used to share on FB. I’m taking my photo and traveling life off FB as soon as I have my blog all set up and running.
Some places that I’ve been to are: Most of the western European countries, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Nepal, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Mongolia and pockets of the great white north, Canada.
Keep in touch!
I can’t wait to see more photos, sounds like you have a ton of stories to tell! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Hi Ashley,
You seem like you’d be a great guest for my new travel site (Atlas Sliced – http://atlassliced.com). Would you be interested in sharing a travel story?

You have a wonderful blog Ashley and i would keep coming back
Thank you for stopping by, and for the compliment!
I like your quote by Mark Twain. Here is another good quote:
“A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.”
–William Shedd
I love that! I actually have a tattoo of a ship on the inside of my wrist that represents the Mark Twain quote, so I love the analogy of ships with travel! Thanks for really going through my blog! I’m enjoying all the comments and feedback!
Hey Ashley..Keep up the wanderlust. I totally agree with you about not waiting to travel. I’ve spent my life travelling with my wife and sometimes without. 25 cruises later and many places in between. No regrets. May not have the retirement that alot of folks have because of it, but I never wanted to be rich walking the beach with a walker or worse a wheelchair trying to remember why I waited. Pack in the memories girl. Check out my gallery for some great travel destinations.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I’m glad to hear there are others not wanting to wait! I think about having to use a walker or wheelchair while traveling too. It just doesn’t make sense to me to put off things when I’m young and adventurous! Hope you and your wife keep making amazing memories!
Thanks. You do the same!!
Thanks. You do the same!!
At such a young age, following Mark Twain’s advice, concentrating in anthropology, then creating an informative and entertaining blog site is quite an accomplishment already. There’s no need to worry about how well you will apply your abilities; past, present or future, you’ve got it made.
Thank you so much; every time I get a comment from you it makes my day! I appreciate your comments and you reading my blog so much!
You’ve very welcome. I’m just impressed with the way you’ve learned to work.
Thank you for liking my blogpost, Ashley, and I couldn’t agree with you more : “sail away from the safe harbor, dream, explore, dare”. Age, obviously, has nothing to do with it
. Patricia http://www.pviette.wordpress.com
Thanks for checking out my blog! I agree that age as nothing to do with it! Everyone who wants to explore, dream and discover just needs to get out there and do it!
Great blog, Ashley!
Thank you very much, and thanks for ‘Following’ me! I appreciate it! Hope you continue to like it!
You’re so welcome.

Thanks for stopping by! I would love to go to New England, I just haven’t been able to tear myself away from the West yet
I’m dying to hit up the historical sites and Acadia National Park! Thanks for commenting and I hope to hear more about your travels!
