Hi, we’re Ashley & Serge 👋
We run @ashleyandserge, a travel channel about budget-friendly adventures for couples. We show real routes, simple planning tips, and the gear that actually makes travel easier.
- • Based anywhere the wind is warm and the water is blue.
- • We favor DIY days over big tours (drive, snorkel, explore).
- • Our guides are built from what we actually did — no fluff.
Real routes you can copy in minutes.
Snorkel spots, sunsets, easy drives.
Fun without wrecking your budget.
Our story
We started filming trips so our families could follow along. It snowballed. Now we build practical guides and videos any couple can use: where to swim, where to eat, and how to keep costs sane.
We gravitate to places like Aruba, markets and mangroves over malls, sunrise dips, and golden-hour lighthouses. If it’s breezy and blue, we’re in.
What we believe
- • Simple plans beat complicated itineraries.
- • DIY days create the best memories.
- • Pack light: snorkel, short fins, water shoes, reef-safe sunscreen.

FAQ
How do you pick places?
We choose a simple base, a handful of swim/snorkel spots, 1–2 “wow” viewpoints, and good food within a short drive. That’s it.
Do you take tours?
Mostly DIY. If a tour unlocks something tricky (shipwrecks, remote pools), we’ll consider it — but we love the freedom of our own wheels.
Can we work together?
We collaborate on destination features and gear we genuinely use. Reach out with details — we’ll reply if it’s a fit.
