I've only been abroad one time, and there were little gecko/lizard things everywhere, climbing up walls and scurrying across roads, and nobody cared. I was constantly fascinated but to the locals they're just kinda there.
Bonus question to anyone who visited the UK - was there anything that fascinated you but I'd be taking for granted?
Pic unrelated.
I'm in Tennessee. The smokey mountains. They are wonderful... But pigeon forge / Sevierville/ Gatlinburg is just a touristy blight now.
There's much better places to go than there.
Where would you recommend? We visited earlier this year and I found it overwhelming, though the abundance of family-friendly stuff was nice.
Depends on what you want out of your trip.
Townsend on the backside is nice. Cherokee (and has gambling) is nice Any small valley town in the range is going to be fine.
But when I go, I tend to just go for the views and like one day in actual Gatlinburg. I'm from e.tn so the tourist stuff is oldhat for me.
So I'll go get a cabin in the deep dark woods and just be "off grid" for a bit. But that's not what everyone does. There's a lot there to do that's not spend your money playing games / on trinkets.
Thank you! I'll be planning my first solo "escape the world" trip either this month or next month (I'm from northern GA) and I'll probably spend most of my time in a cabin just doing a lot of nothing.
But some people apparently really want fudge, pancakes, and old-time photographs!
