This North Carolina Travel Guide is for you. My name is Maria, and I am your tour guide. I have developed this site for the sole purpose of offering a well organized, informative "all in one" site where you can come to find all the resources you will need to plan your next trip here.

My family, my husband and two kids and I love to vacation in North Carolina. We are planning on relocating here soon and are in the process of deciding where we'd like to live.

It's not an easy decision, North Carolina is such a beautiful state and it has so much to offer.

This site is about our adventures in North Carolina, as well as our search for where we want to settle down.

It's exciting for us because we are open to all areas and will just travel to different parts of the state each visit. I will write about our trips here and tell you about the great stuff we find!

Like me, you will discover so many different experiences all in one state!

My job as your tour guide is to show you how to find and explore all the unique and wonderful places that this state offers.

This site is updated and new information is added regularly, so be sure to bookmark us and come back for additional resources and information.

Have a look at what you will find in this truly beautiful state:

The Coast - A fantastic beach vacation paradise where good times are what it's all about. Although this is the home of the state's many colonial towns that are brimming with history, and a great place to come to explore it all, this is also the place where families come to relax, fish off the pier, ride bikes, and fly kites, along with enjoying a nice meal at one of the many great seafood restaurants that overlook the waterway.

New Bern, Bath, Edenton and Beaufort are a few of the towns you can visit while hanging out at the coast. The Port of Wilmington, is this regions largest city and is surrounded by vacation spots and fun things to do all year long.

The Outer Banks - is a long strip of islands running from Cape Fear all the way to the Virginia border. Mostly known for the light-houses, perfect beaches, sea food, and cute fishing villages. It is a historical point as well.

North Piedmont - Home of some very prestigious universities such as Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Both have beautiful architecture and a sprawling campus. This area includes the cities of Durham, Chapel Hill, Greensboro and Winston-Salem as well as the states capital, Raleigh.

South Piedmont - If you like Nascar, you'll want to visit this area. As the home of the largest city in the whole state, Charlotte is one of the fastest growing cities. You can also enjoy some recreation such as a visit to the Uwharrie National Forest or the Asheboro's zoo.

The Mountains - The beautiful mountains where you go to completely relax and enjoy the great outdoors. They are the highest mountains east of the Mississippi and filled with thick forrest. Home of The Great Smoky Mountains National Park and a haven for winter sports enthusiasts.

A vacation is a time to discover the wonderful sights, sounds, and history of the region, as well as to enjoy the breath-taking views of the picturesque coast or magnificent sights of the Great Smoky Mountains.

If you love North Carolina, as I do, you will explore, enjoy, and appreciate all it offers in a perfect vacation spot for the whole family.

Whatever the season, North Carolina has so much to see.

So sit back, relax and let's go on an adventure!
