My Journey to Nashville
The story of how I ended up in Nashville, Tennessee is a beautifully messy one.

Two Weeks of Suwannee River Camping
Very recently, my girlfriend Rachael and I decided that we were taking a break from the rat race altogether, and leaving our overpriced rental home in Nashville, TN behind us to chase a dream of seeing the beauty of the country we live in.
