Ashley Shoemaker

Ashley moved to southern Spain in 2012 and lives with her husband, José, and her energetic trail dog, Pitaya. When not in the classroom teaching English, you can find her running the trails with her canine buddy, riding her mountain bike, or kayaking in the ocean. A huge fan of orienteering, Ashley competes in foot and mountain bike orienteering races around Spain and Portugal, although her biggest passion is training on a day to day basis. She also runs in adventure races on a team with her husband and enjoys any kind of adventure in the mountains or outdoors.
