Introduction: Exploring East Tennessee (and beyond)

I've wanted to start a blog for a while. While I was studying in Spain I kept a blog of my experiences there, but since returning to the U.S., I wasn't sure what to blog about. I've always loved traveling, so a travel blog seemed like an obvious choice...except that I've been living in the same city for over 2 years, and have not traveled a whole lot.

However, I'm blessed to live in one of the most beautiful parts of our country. Surrounded by mountains, Chattanooga has been named one of the best outdoor cities and it's certainly one of the prettiest. I'm amazed almost every day at how gorgeous this city is! I know that I'm fortunate to live in a city that I love.

What's even more exciting is the myriad of places within driving distance of Chattanooga that offer spectacular views, excellent hiking, and a fun adventure outdoors. While some of the these places are well-known, there are many that I've found that are "off the beaten path."

I've enjoyed discovering new places to explore, and I'm excited to share some of those places here!
