Living in the south or even simply just passing through, you’ll come to understand that southern hospitality is more than just a stranger’s smile and an overly-friendly waitress.

No, we’re not talking going out to Micky Dee’s for a burger. With so many Ma and Pop restaurants in North Carolina, you can always enjoy a home-cooked meal without the hassle of dishes! Also, the barbecue is to die for!

Where else can you sunbathe next to a family of wild ponies? Also, there are a lot of unique and dangerous animals to be found everywhere in the state.

North Carolina’s premium craft beer set the standards pretty high. North Carolina is especially famous for its barbecue, but the crazy good amount of craft beer coming out of the state just can’t be beaten.

There’s a reason NC is among the three most popular states… there is always something to do!

The endless adventures NC offers have led locals to explore outside their home state. But no matter where in the world we may venture, our hearts will forever lay in North Carolina.

Growing up in various states along the east coast, I've developed a love of all things local. I currently live in North Carolina and wouldn't move for anything! I love the beach, animals, and creating my own adventures. I encourage everyone to travel and never be afraid to fail.
