Ashley in Africa — a mother, entrepreneur, and former marketing and tech executive who left the fast-paced world of corporate America to start over on the African continent. After taking a two-year sabbatical and researching safer, more intentional ways to live and raise her children, Ashley relocated from the U.S. to Johannesburg, South Africa — and now calls Cape Town home.

In this video, Ashley breaks down the real cost of living in Cape Town, sharing exactly how she lives on $4,750 USD/month while raising her two daughters, running a business, and living a life of purpose and luxury.
