Hello and welcome to Episode 166 with Chris and Ellen, who are YouTubers, travel creators and friends of mine who I met this year at TravelCon. They are based in Asheville, and a caveat for this episode is that this was recorded before the devastating floods this year, so please bear in mind some of the information relayed may not be true anymore, which is super sad. However, this is a fun episode with lots of laughs, tips, travel content ideas and a new launch of their product, Apear. This is a sustainable travel blanket found on the link below.
In this conversation, Chris and Ellen discuss their travel experiences and their love for Asheville, North Carolina. They talk about the unique characteristics of Asheville, such as its artsy and hippie vibe, its music scene, and its reputation as a beer city. They also touch on the myths and legends surrounding the Appalachian Mountains and the ghost tours in Asheville.
