For nearly three years, I joyfully lived, taught and ultimately fell in love with cultures and communities around the world!
Living in Tanzania, South Africa and Costa Rica alongside visiting Kenya, Nicaragua and small islands in-between! 
With this I am humbled to launch ASP's Print Shop, an exclusive collection of prints from Central America, South Africa and Tanzania!

While living on Mafia Island, Tanzania my husband (then, still my boyfriend) and I were living on and running a beach camp on this remote African island. We took tourists out to swim with whale sharks daily, housed interns, worked with the local schools to teach English to students and Swahili to our interns, employed local staff of which one was my Tanzanian mom, ate locally sourced and freshly made foods and discovered parts of ourselves, that I quite frankly, didn't know was possible. We had no running water, extremely limited solar power for electricity, took showers under the trees, slept with mosquitos nets, woke with monkeys in our room, centipedes trying to invade our shoes, but more excitedly, with the rising sun and the joyfully inspiring sounds of nature. With very limited resources, we had our environment and each other. We talked, we wrote, we took walks, we sat in silence, we watched the sunset nearly every single night for six months. 
I have such a love for, a passion for writing, for being able to express myself, life and the experiences that coincide through words. In September of 2017, I submitted my chapter, for a women's collaborative book, "In Her Shoes : Stronger Version of Me!" Each chapter is a little different, the book as a whole reflecting and written by seven different women, sharing their journeys of becoming stronger version of themselves! My chapter, well, it was on the reality of truly starting to live verses just existing and my journey to Tanzania! 
​
Just a few months later, in November of 2017,
​"In Her Shoes : Stronger Version of Me" launched! What an honor, what an incredible experience of getting to share my experience of stretching my soul and living, loving and teaching in Mafia Island Tanzania! ​
On March 24th, 2018 Ashley Strong Photograph hosted my very first Cultural Art Show at Legacy Brewery in Oceanside where community members witnessed and purchased cultural photographs from Ashley's Africa collection.
