Wander with an open heart

WokenHeart is a lifestyle blog exploring intentional living through travel, wellness, culture, and connection.

“Travel isn’t just about going somewhere new, it’s about coming back to yourself. Each place invites you to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what matters.”

About Ashlee

Hi, I’m Ashlee, the voice behind WokenHeart. I’m a storyteller at heart, a travel and wellness enthusiast, and a firm believer in living with intention and authenticity.

My journey has taken me to 39 countries and counting, where I’ve wandered through sacred temples, shared sips with strangers-turned-friends, and witnessed both the quiet beauty and vibrant chaos of life across cultures. Each experience has shaped how I see the world and how I see myself.

WokenHeart is my way of making meaning of it all. Here, I share honest reflections, travel stories, and life lessons to encourage you to:

  • Embrace your own path of self-discovery

  • Build deeper connections—with yourself and others

  • Travel with curiosity, courage, and compassion

  • Live a life that feels aligned, intentional, and whole

This space isn’t about having it all figured out, it’s about honoring the journey, the questions, and the growth along the way.
