Hi! I'm Ashton,
a freelance writer and editor
I like to find the extraordinary in the ordinary.
From a deep dive into the birds of World of Warcraft, to the strawberry seller just off the way from NánluógÇ”xiàng in BÄ›ijÄ«ng, to the best cafés in and around Portland, there is magic in everything. I take stories like these and bring them to life.
