Hi! I’m Ashley.

Welcome to The Hot Mess Historian, where history meets adventure with a twist! Whether you're hopping on a guided tour, diving into fascinating historical content, exploring travel blogs, or watching our online content, I’m here to make history exciting, accessible, and, since you’re with me…a little messy!

History isn't just about dates and facts; it's about the people, places, and stories that shaped our world. With The Hot Mess Historian, you'll experience history like never before, laughing, learning, and discovering the untold tales behind every landmark. So buckle up, grab your curiosity, and let's make history fun together!

I’ve been a tour guide for the majority of the past 20 years, and it’s a passion of mine. The sharing, the bonding, and the commonality that we find together when researching the past—these are all a part of who I am, both professionally and personally. I’m thrilled to curate this space and watch it transform into something special as I share everything that comes to mind, including all my adventures and the quirky aspects of the past that most people overlook.
