Heading Down Under...

It was perfect timing that Ashlynn arrived in Sydney in time to meet up with bestie Sophie, who was backpacking in Australia and Asia for four months with Hannah, who the girls went to school with from Year 2 through Year 6.

They only had a few days together, but they enjoyed exploring Sydney...

...and partying at Sophie and Hannah’s hostel. It was a great start for Ashlynn’s three months Down Under.

Stopover in Bali...

While Ashlynn was waiting for her Australian visa to get approved, she hung out with two friends of one of the guy models that were passing through Seoul. When they told her that there was spare space in a villa that they had rented in Bali, it was an offer too good to pass up. She was especially excited that Shawna, one of the new girls in her apartment could join her for part of the week. 

 She had an amazing week that included sightseeing...

 ...spotting wildlife...

 ...exploring...

 ...and swimming. She also spent a day scuba diving, which was incredible.

On her last day, she took a motorcycle taxi alone to this secret beach. What she hadn’t planned on was that there would be no taxis at the remote location when she was ready to leave. Luckily a nice couple saved the day and helped her call a taxi so that she didn’t miss her flight to Sydney. 

St. Patty’s Hash in The Hague...

The following week we ran through the Haagse Bos and then circled up downtown to celebrate St. Patty’s Day with The Hague H3. Strobe got a down-down for skipping trail and just showing up for the party. 

We had a fun time partying with some visiting hashers.

Hashing in Amersfoort...

Our next hash was also further afield, this time in historic Amersfoort.

Although the hare wasn’t from Amersfoort, one of the other hashers was a local, so he gave us a nice tour while we ran along. This was a Jewish cemetery used from 1750-1880.

We had a drink stop along the old city wall.

It was a great trail which passed a lot of beautiful old buildings.

There were also some interesting statues which made for great photo stops.

Shining in Streetwear....

Ashlynn wore two other outfits during the shoot, both of which were actually streetwear. 

Shouldn’t have been a surprise by then that she was once again put in a trench coat. 

The kids started to glow as the sun set.

This looks like something out of a Mad Max movie. Ashlynn said it was great fun. The only instruction they had was to run around the car.

And here’s the final video. It was definitely a great way to end her modeling days in Seoul. 

To make matters even better, Ashlynn got to DJ in a bar with her friends on her final night in town. While Seoul wasn’t her favorite city, she was very glad she went as she loved the experience of living with other models and hanging out with the boys. 

Adding a Blazer...

Eventually blazers and shirts were added over the underwear. I’m so glad that there were so many behind-the-scenes photos taken.

Last Job in Seoul...

Ashlynn was thrilled when she learned that her last job in Seoul would be a video shoot for Ader Error, a Korean streetwear company that she was already following on Instagram before she even knew she’d be going to Seoul. 

Clearly this was quite an unusual shoot, especially considering that it was still a freezing cold winter day.

Ashlynn was also thrilled that all the models were from her agency so were all friends.

Ironically, Ader Error doesn’t even sell underwear.
