Fun fact #1
My island detour 🌊
The time I was away from this area, I was living on a bridgeless barrier island off the coast of Florida, on the Gulf side! 🐚☀️ It's an amazing place to visit on vacation… but it's not the North GA mountains! ⛰️💙

Hey, y'all 👋
I'm not AI, nor do I live in ten-buck-2, I'm local
As a native of White County, born at home in Kellum Valley, not far from downtown Helen, GA, I decided to share my knowledge and experience to help others plan their trips and make the best of their time here!

Fun fact #2
I love ALL the animals 🥰
Opossums, skunks 🦨, raccoons 🦝, deer 🦌, dogs 🐶… you name it! And that love made me bring home an abandoned pregnant dog who gave birth to 10 adorable puppies! 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶 💕
Bringing the dog?
Good.
Look for the 🐕 Dog-friendly tag on restaurants, stays, and things to do so you know where your pup is actually welcome.[TODO: your dog-owner tip or a joke]
