So ive come to terms with I no nothing about the geography of our world. So where do I start. I dont wont to go to bars, I wont to discover earth. Where could me and my girlfriend start planing trips to go, thats not going to cost us alot?
I've been to about 48 of the states and I would say OREGON is cool. Find out where the hot springs are. Lots of cool people too.
Considering that you are starting from the middle of NC, the nearest "undiscovered" treasure worth checking out is the east side of West Virginia. You could work your way north and then come back down through the western part of Virginia. If you have time to go further north before you turn around, Pittsburgh is one of the more unique cities in the East.
The Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee. You can check out Dollywood in Pigeon Forge while you're there. I'm thinkin about taking my mom there for her birthday. Im in PA so its about a 10 hour drive.
....wait...nevermind... I see now that your girlfriend is going too....If you want a pleasant trip...go WHEREVER SHE WANTS TO GO....trust me on that...it will make the trip much easier
