Random luck I fell upon this podcast when I was looking for ideas for me and my husband mini vacation to Asheville. Now I can’t get enough. It’s like hangout out with a friend. She’s so much fun to listen to. I even took her advice and stayed at the Kimpton. I tell anyone that loves travel to check her out. Thanks Kelsey!
