I’m a writer, marketer, Pennsylvania ex-pat, and former high school teacher living and working in Asheville, North Carolina. I’ve been in Ashville since 2019 and relocated here for a job I no longer work (I’m a post-pandemic remote work devotee), but I stayed because…it’s a pretty great time.
I started this blog because local travel blogging was one of my earliest passions, and how I initially transitioned from teaching high school English (what feels like a lifetime ago) to writing full-time , and because exploring where Iive is how I spend a bulk of my free time.
While I’m not necessarily new or exploring Asheville in the traditional sense anymore (I get annoyed with tourist-laden locales, which I think is a hallmark of not being green to Asheville anymore), there’s still plenty I haven’t seen yet (I’ve yet to say, take a weekend trip to Boone…or check out the art museum). Additionally, now that I’ve gotten a feel for Asheville, it’s been fun to delve into the city’s and area’s layers. It’s at once great, frustrating, and a parody of itself, which makes it ripe for content :).
