Hi! I’m Alison.

After living all over the US as an adult, I moved back home with a new appreciation for everything North Carolina has to offer. Good weather, mountains, beaches, big cities, and small towns provide endless opportunities for adventure.

While I love the outdoors, I’m also known for enjoying our cities and towns. Come explore North Carolina and our neighboring states with me.
