Travel that moves you Deeply
Meet the Founder
“Shaped by a life of caring for others, I believe the most meaningful luxury is time well spent—creating moments that truly matter.”
Ashley Mottla is the founder of Pathos Luxury Adventure and a pediatric perfusionist, a profession that has given her a unique perspective on life’s most meaningful moments. Working closely with patients and families during times of uncertainty has shaped her belief that time, connection, and presence are life’s greatest luxuries. Pathos was created from that belief—a way to help others step into experiences that are not only beautiful, but deeply meaningful. Ashley approaches travel with the same level of precision, care, and attention she brings to her work in medicine.
A lifelong traveler, she believes the most memorable journeys are those that connect you—to culture, to people, and to yourself. Her passion for planning began with family and friends, designing seamless, highly personalized experiences that felt both effortless and unforgettable. Today, Ashley curates bespoke, elevated travel experiences tailored to each client—refined in detail, intentional in design, and always centered around creating moments that last a lifetime
