Welcome to the Exploration Local Podcast!

In this introduction episode I tell you a little about myself, who I am, and why I’m starting a Podcast. I share how a pop-up camper and traveling through Europe in a Volkswagen Van influenced my love for the outdoors. I created this show to explore and highlight the people and places that make the Blue Ridge Mountains special and unique, and to encourage you to make adventure and the outdoors a priority in your life.

I hope you’ll explore and discover these mountains with us, and possibly find solace and a respite from the stresses of life, and opportunities to discover and explore a new river, rail, or scenic byway. I invite you along this journey to explore these majestic Blue Ridge Mountains and meet the fine people who call these mountains home.
