The Girl Abroad - Ashley Waxman Bakshi

Welcome to Girl Abroad! I'm Ashley Waxman Bakshi, proudly and unapologetically Israeli.
I have a Master's Degree in Counterterrorism, served as a Lt. in the Air Force and worked for the Ministry of Defense. In Israel I am best known for being the #1 Youtuber sharing beauty, fashion, and lifestyle content. 
In May 2021, I realized something was missing online: a trusted, real voice willing to speak up about Israel, Jewish identity, and truth.
So now, this channel is evolving. Here you’ll find:
🗣️ Advocacy & commentary — simplified, fact-driven takes about Israel and Jewish identity, delivered from someone who lives it, feels it, and refuses to stay silent. 
✨ Beauty & lifestyle — product reviews, tutorials, motherhood, travel, everyday life in Israel. 
🤍 Personal stories & reflections — experiences that shaped who I am

Why follow? Because this is a place where real life meets real talk.
