Beka Ashley

Hello! My name is Beka and I'm an ICU nurse, freelance writer, homeschooling mom, dog lover, and addicted to iced coffee. I currently live south of Nashville in Tennessee, but I originally hail from the New England area (go Red Sox!). I write about new and exciting people, places, and events within Tennessee. Follow along as I share some of my favorite festivals, family-friendly activities, vacation spots, and delicious eats!
