  • EXPERTISE | Nashville + Franklin

    PROFILE | Brittney is a California native who relocated to the beautiful city of Franklin, Tennessee just outside of Nashville. The move had been a pipe dream that became reality and has introduced her to the Southern lifestyle and provided the opportunity to indulge in her passions for food, dining, and travel.

    Working remotely in the tech industry has allowed her to explore new coffee shops daily and she has been adding to (and crossing off) her "foodie list," which ranges from all things Southern to Italian cuisine, casual to fine dining and of course, the best whiskey bars.

    She absolutely loves being able to explore the east side of the US and is the go-to person for all travel plans for her circle. She can make a trip as detailed or relaxed as needed but all plans include a “must eat" list.

    What is the best time to visit Tennessee? May or October are the two best months of the year here. Although Tennessee is known for having wild weather, these two months will give you your best chance of blue skies. By May, the trees are full and green and the flowers are just gorgeous. Every street corner and cute front porch is decorated with flowers. And by October, the rolling hills are turning fall colors and it creates a magical feeling no matter where you are.

    What is a must see when you visit Nashville? While Nashville is such a small portion of Tennessee, there is really so much to see. What it really comes down to is the type of trip you are looking to have. I find that the top reasons people visit is for the country music nightlife, visiting quaint small towns or for the history. I would suggest narrowing down your goal for the trip and I can help guide you from there!
