Ashraf began her career as a Biomedical Engineer, working in large Fortune 500 Medical Device and Pharmaceutical companies, and has led large teams of engineers in developing life-saving medical devices. However, since the age of 16, she has been traveling solo and in order to help her overcome severe childhood abuse that resulted in complex-PTSD and a crippled sense of self-worth. Through almost 20 years of solo backpacking around the globe, she discovered the healing powers of traveling alone by facing her fears, conquering her self-limiting beliefs, and witnessing the diversity of the human experience. She unearthed her strength in facing life’s many unknowns and deeply connecting with people from all walks of life. Her ventures have led her to meet countless individuals around the world, including many fellow backpackers who shared a similar testimony about the healing powers of traveling. However, she noticed that most people around the world do not have the necessary opportunities, privileges, or support to embark on such an empowering adventure. She hopes to be able to enable other young adults uncover their fullest potential by providing them with the necessary mental health resources, life skills, and travel experiences to further their self-discovery through this nonprofit. Since her journey has started, she has been to over 70 countries, involved herself in her community as an activist for social justice and equality, has managed a Political Campaign for a City Council candidate, and has spoken on several podcasts about her life experiences. In that time, she spent many years committed to her therapy to equip her with the necessary tools to improve her mental health and self-image, and has developed healthy long-term relationships with incredible people around the globe. Through creating this nonprofit organization, she hopes to be able to enable other young adults to uncover their fullest potential by providing them with the necessary mental health resources, life skills, and travel experiences to further their self-discovery and overcome their traumas.
