About Ashalah
I've spent my life packing and unpacking my life as I've moved around the country and traveled the world. I am never happy sitting still. I'm a New York City transplant living in Boulder, Colorado until I discover what my next adventure will be. I love food, wine, good conversation, laughing until I cry, beautifully designed spaces and animal humor.
