Asheville, North Carolina

*IMPORTANT UPDATE 2025* Some of the listing below have been severely damaged or don't exist anymore since Hurricane Helene happened in 2024.

I've lived in several places and am very happy to have settled in Asheville, North Carolina. The vibrant and creativity community blends perfectly with the beautiful surroundings and daily views of the mountains. This my private list of places and people I would like to support and if you're ever in the area check out this fun guide and let's connect so I can show you around in person!
