The idea of foraging for food ingredients and a restaurant making it is pretty impressive.

[@yesorlando05]

Asheville is one of my wife's and my favorite places. We love NC so much!

[@brand1nn943]

I miss going to Asheville as a kid, my grandfather used to own a house up there in the mountains and my mom went to high school there. The first time I saw snow was up in Asheville so I guess u could say I have some fond memories of the place.

[@MissingLinkMTB]

Mountain biking is huge. Plenty of trails in Asheville as well as quick driving distance from Asheville. Pisgah, DuPont, Black Mountain, Bent Creek, Kolo, Bailey Mountain

[@PhilFeedback]

Great video footage, thanks for posting this video! My wife and I have been there quite a few years ago and we visited the Biltmore Estate. We enjoyed our visit!

[@alissongil280]

Omg it was so nice watching this video. I was born in Asheville and moved North to Connecticut when I was about 10 years old. Definitely want to go back and visit my hometown ♥️

Asheville is one of our favorites! Thanks for the great vlog! We love this!

[@kiwuana]

wow! de verdad puedes hacer practicamente de todo ahí. definitivamente tengo que ir algún día.

[@Hotmamatravel]

We had a blast in Asheville. We visit Zebulon Vance birthplace, stumbled upon a fun festival and enjoyed the yummy dining options in town. I wish we could have spent more time in nature. My daughter cried when we left, because she wanted more time in Asheville.

[@goobweynmedia4933]

Never been there but I always felt like it was the kind of city I want to live in. I heard it is becoming very expensive to live there though.

[@stephaniemistry2575]

I believe you that the whitewater SUP is a lot harder than it looks although it already looked pretty sketchy going over some of those rapids. Did you ever go in in river?

[@rayhernandez6587]

What about going in late December? Will it be too cold to enjoy the hikes. I’m from Florida haha

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Great video! Are there any hiking trails in this area that you recommend? Just subbed!

[@Ares1775usmc]

That's awesome. I am going to have to visit there now. You should come to Delaware and check out some places. If you do please let me know! I'd love to hang out with you. There's a lot of places in West Virginia that you would enjoy I think. Look up Lindy Point, black water falls, Seneca Rocks.. basically that whole are of the state is a beautiful site-seeing adventure. Great videos. I watch them all the time in preparation for the purchase of my Mavic.

[@Ares1775usmc]

Expert Vagabond Yes that too. There's also smoke hole caverns and Seneca hold caverns in that area. Very beautiful. WV is packed with awesome places like that.

[@emmasparks6024]

John Allen if you come to Asheville I recommend hiking to a waterfall there all so beautiful

Wish we could have seen more of the city !

[@Stealthwealth4321]

I love Asheville and had been searching for a downtown condo there for a year and a half. After visiting the city during the pandemic months, decided to buy in FLA instead. Asheville is amazing but the true colors shined through with covid, the cities politics are a joke and a gamechanger.

@@ethanmoore6058 I grew up in Fairview when it was mostly farmland. It was beautiful back then but it's hardly recognizable today with all the housing developments and "mcmansions" that have been built. Cane Creek road is a prime example...

Asheville Might be Called: Baguio of USA

[@blockbusterlady5993]

I'm from Alabama and have been living in Florida a couple of years. My husband wants to move to Ashville NC and I am so scared. I'm scared I'll have a hard time finding a job other than waiting tables.I have no high shool diploma or college experience and no GED but in Florida and Alabama I can find good jobs other than waiting tables.I hope it will be the same here but it just looks like a small town with not many options for a drop out. Also I have no family in NC so I am worried of feeling empty and alone. I hope I will be happy in NC.

[@RicosBettaWorld]

Better bring lots of money! Housing is expensive and many many jobs pay low wages. We’re moving out, good luck to you.

[@blockbusterlady5993]

@@RicosBettaWorld Around hie much are two bedroom homes in a good clean area??

[@RicosBettaWorld]

I am Jack's Smirking KZbin Account Around here 2/1 and 2/2 start at around $900-$1,200 a month rentals. Homes for sale are expensive too. Check prices of homes for sale on Zillow and realtor dot com. South Asheville is really crowded and traffic is bad too. Wife and I are actually considering moving to Alabama.

[@blockbusterlady5993]

@@RicosBettaWorld I was born and raised in Alabama. If you like the country life,you will like Alabama. Cheap to live there too. Just avoid Prichard,Wilmer,and Theodore. Those cities are very dirty,trashy and drug filled. Drug deals around every corner of those towns. Satsuma,Saraland and Chickasaw are very small towns. I'd avoid Saraland as well because it's a bit trashy. Mobile and Birmingham are more clean and safe. Satsuma is safe and clean.Just very small and very little to do. The very very quiet country life is in Chunchula Al but very little to do there as well.People normally buy bigger pieces of land there to escape the city life and be to themselves. Dauphin Island and Gulf Shores are very beautiful places with beautiful beaches.Those are places where you can find either expensive places to live or cheap places or right in between.It's a lot different in those two places.Alot more clean and the people are more respectful. I think the beach life just makes people happier in general and a lot of the community are older more respectful people. Hope that helps😊
