Chattanooga, Tennessee: An Introduction

Chattanooga

July 15-17, 2016

Tennessee, United States

Up until this point my blog focused on my travels abroad. In 2014 I spent an amazing four months studying abroad. I had the opportunity to travel throughout England and even made it to Scotland, Ireland, France, Greece, and Italy. My blog will now take a turn to focus on my travels within the U.S. While 2014 may have been a year of international travel, 2016 has been a year of plenty of domestic travels, and it's not even over yet!

I promised to do this post to help people decide if they want to make a trip down to Chattanooga, and I must say, it is something I'd highly recommend. 

I won't lie, the main reasoning I went to Chattanooga was for a Parachute concert. Parachute is my absolute favorite band, and has been for over five years now. As of today I have seen them in concert EIGHT times, with no end in sight. ;) My friend, Lindsey Prive, and I were disputing between making a three hour drive to Chattanooga, Birmingham, or Cincinnati  for a concert, and Chattanooga won out.

While studying abroad I learned how important preparation and research is, so I did a lot for this trip, and it definitely helped out!

Here are some highlights of our trip, which I will go into more detail about in my subsequent posts:
