With Masai warriors in Tanzania.

Hi! I'm Ashley Niedringhaus, and I'm an ASME-nominated magazine writer with an eye for crafting the perfect gift guide, mastering an international destination guide and penchant for big cities.

I've worn the hats of a full-time staffer and writer-for-hire for the print and online publications of Travel+Leisure (where I am also the Bangkok local expert), Elite Traveler, Michelin Guide Bangkok, Lonely Planet, Food and Wine, Beyond the St. Regis magazine, Real Simple, Good Housekeeping, Redbook, Travel+Leisure Southeast Asia, Marie Claire, Teen Vogue and more. I've been nationally syndicated in Time, The Huffington Post, Country Living and Yahoo. And thanks to my Real Simple days writing the New Uses for Old Things column, I am a hoarder of hotel shower caps and can almost instantly chill wine. 

My specialty is crafting bespoke city guides for luxury brands, and I've developed itineraries for Travel+Leisure, Elite Traveler, The St. Regis Hotels, Conrad Hotels and Travel+Leisure Southeast Asia.
