Hi, I’m Ash, and I’m a writer. For nearly a decade, I’ve lived abroad with my partner, Dan, and our cat, Cleo in Budapest, Madrid, Bucharest, and Zagreb. I’m currently based back in Budapest (my original starting point) and work remotely as a freelance content writer, copywriter, and copy editor. I’d love to work with you and bring stories to your audience! Find out how we can collaborate.

The purpose of Cairn and Compass is for both you and me. As I forge my own adventures, I’d like to leave “cairns” on this blog so that I can relive my memories. It’s important to me to remember the subtle details of a trip or experience and to recall the sounds, smells, and emotions. The best way for me to do that is to reflect and write. Perhaps these musings can inspire you too. And, much like a compass, perhaps they can offer a guide for similar adventures.

Thanks for visiting and reading, and I wish you luck in your own adventures!
