State 4/50 – Tennessee: Waterfalls, Thanksgiving, and a Perfect Way to End the Year

Tennessee was the perfect way to close out the year. This trip was a mix of nature, family, and unexpected moments that made it feel deeper than just another stop on the map. From chasing waterfalls and exploring the Smoky Mountains to spending Thanksgiving with my aunt and slowing down for some reflection, this vlog captures the heart of what this journey is really about. I also had the opportunity to shoot on the floor for UTC Chattanooga, which was an unreal experience and something I’m incredibly grateful for. Moments like that, along with places like Ozone Falls, Rock City Gardens, Ruby Falls, Rock Island State Park, and The Lost Sea, made this trip unforgettable. This vlog isn’t about checking boxes. It’s about presence, gratitude, and ending the year grounded before continuing the journey through all 50 states. Appreciate you being here and riding along with me. #ozonefalls #tennessee #greatsmokymountains #nashville #travelvlog #travel #usa
