Chattahoochee Coffee Company Riverside Review
Like many people, I first discovered Chattahoochee Coffee Company after seeing videos on TikTok from local influencers. The posts sold me a dreamy coffee shop by the river where you can sip on a latte and soak in nature. It didn’t seem like it could be any more perfect. I finally visited Chattahoochee Coffee Company with a friend in August to see for myself if it was too good to be true. Address: 2281 Akers Mill Rd, Atlanta, GA 30339 Chattahoochee Coffee Company’s Biggest Con: Parking Shocker! Somewhere in Atlanta has inconvenient parking. If you didn’t know, the coffee shop is actually in the back of a gated apartment complex…

How To Get To The Bamboo Forest in Sandy Springs, Georgia – The East Palisades Trail
I was pretty surprised when I learned that there is a Bamboo Forest in Sandy Springs, Georgia. It definitely isn’t the first place I would think to have one, but they do! It’s along the Chattahoochee River on the East Palisades Trail. I was able to visit it recently for the first time, and I have compiled a guide for anyone who wants to add it to their list of things to do in Georgia! East Palisades Trail Difficulty: I would say this hike is on the easier side but can be very tiring for beginners. It has a few steep inclines, but they don’t last too long. In all,…

A Day Trip To Helen, Georgia in the Fall
If you have never heard of Helen, Georgia, before, it is a mountain town in North Georgia that has been inspired entirely by Germany, and it is perfect for a day trip. Every building, including the local Wendy’s and Dollar General, was built with a Bavarian-style making it a truly unique little town. On a random October night, I made plans to make the short trip to Helen, Georgia, for November 7, the last day of the famous Oktoberfest. As someone who had never been to Oktoberfest, I was very interested in what the festival consisted of. However, upon arriving, it was evident that Helen was already more focused on…

Brasstown Bald: Hiking Up Georgia’s Highest Peak
Brasstown Bald has been sitting on my list of must-do hikes for months now, and I figured it was finally time to be able to cross it off. I knew that with it being the highest peak in Georgia, the view would not disappoint, which is why it would be worth the 2-hour drive to get there from Kennesaw. I also decided I wanted to be able to watch the sunset from the mountain, so we left Kennesaw at around 5 pm in order to be at the top before the sun setting at 7:45 pm. The Brasstown Bald Hike: When you first discover that the hike is only 0.6…

The Van Gogh Immersive Experience: A Guide
My most recent experience and newest recommendation is the Van Gogh Immersive Experience that has been popping up around the country. This exhibit is the latest way to showcase art, with the main event being a giant room where the walls are covered in projections in order to make you feel like part of the painting. After learning that it was coming to Atlanta, I immediately bought tickets. Not really knowing what to expect, I was a little worried that the tickets I had just paid for were not going to be worth it. Is sitting in a room full of projectors really going to be all that great? Well,…

The Time I Got Into The Atlanta Super Bowl For Free
In 2019, I was a freshman at Kennesaw State University near Atlanta. This was the same year that the Super Bowl happened to be coming to Georgia. While I thought this was a super neat coincidence and knew I would enjoy the experience if I could go, I had no intention of spending that much money on a ticket. Like I said, I was a college freshman. If I had thousands of dollars laying around that I could use on a Super Bowl ticket, I would not have had to take out a loan for school. However, I did end up getting to go to the Super Bowl for free,…
