If I had to name a few places to visit while someone was traveling through North Carolina, one would absolutely be Chapel Hill. This city is growing rapidly, but always seems to hold onto its down-home feel and fine southern living aspect. Just be careful not to get too attached while you're there visiting. You could end up wanting to make a serious move. Then there is Charlotte, which is probably the most upbeat city in all of North Carolina. Although it's not the capitol, it is a wonderful little city that functions like a mini Manhattan. Finally there is Boone North Carolina. This rich atmosphere appears once you cruise outside of the busy areas of North Carolina and into Mother Nature. If you have an appreciation for the great outdoors, then you'll likely enjoy this beautiful city. Many students flock to Boone North Carolina to attend the college, Appalachion, each and every year. So if you're currently considering universities, this is definitely one to think about that sits far from the chaos of major cities and the smog that often comes with them.
