About Me

Hey there! I’m a true East Tennessee gal with a heart for adventure, the Smoky Mountains, and all things outdoors. Whether it’s hiking the trails, camping under the stars, or road-tripping through Tennessee’s backroads, I’m always up for exploring.

Family is everything to me. I’m blessed to walk life’s road with my hubby—32 years and counting! We’ve been gifted with nine incredible grown children, and life just keeps getting sweeter. I have two grandboys, a grandgirl, and another grandboy on the way! On top of that, I’ve been blessed with several amazing in-loves who have become such a special part of our family. And soon, we’ll be welcoming a new daughter-in-love and another precious grandboy into our crew. My heart is full, and I can’t wait for all the adventures ahead with these Little Trekkers!

Tennessee is my happy place, and I’ve created this space to help you plan unforgettable trips. From scenic hikes to cozy cabins, local eats to hidden gems, I love sharing the best of Tennessee. No matter your age—whether you’re just starting to explore or have trekked through a lifetime—there’s always something magical to discover.

So, let’s pack our bags, hit the trails, and soak up the beauty of Tennessee—one adventure at a time!
