NC Tripping has everything North Carolina travel-related that you need. Our growing collection of guides cover things to do and places to visit in our state. We also feature the awesome People of NC, Food, Hotels, and so much more!

There are so many places to explore and our Travel section will take you through the the Mountains, as we explore awesome cities and towns around Asheville. We also give tons of coverage to the Central Piedmont and familiar places like Charlotte, Greensboro, Raleigh, Durham, and more. Then there’s the Coast, which is filled with our favorite haunts in the Outer Banks and elsewhere by the water.

I married this guy 6 years ago, and I wouldn't change a thing in the world! From picking me up in a bar 9 years ago, to 5 years in Korea, to now running two travel websites together- we're more than just husband and wife. I taught him to love vegetables and he taught me patience. We've climbed hundreds of mountains and overcome some of the hardest moments of our lives together. I can't wait to see what this next year has in store for us! 📸 @amelyajaynephotography #nctripping #nottravelrelated #married #wedding #weddinganniversary #couple #couplegoals #travelcouples #traveltogether #love #travelust #couplegoals #couplestravelgoals #couplesthattravel #lovetravel #discovertheworld #traveltogether #iamtraveler #globecouples #locationcollective #creativetravelcouples

We couldn't let the weekend start without a stop on the #tourdepork! Make with @firsthandfoods pork belly and broth steeped with pork bones, @dashiramen is the perfect warm steamy bowl to invigorate your tastebuds! . . #nctripping #ramen #local #shoplocal #eatlocal #japanesefood #noodles #noodle #sustainable #gottobenc #pork #eatingfortheinsta #nomnom #travel #instatravel #travelgram #tourism #forkyeah #travelblogger #travellocal #ilovetravel #bullcityeats #durhamnc #noms #nomnom #yum #yumyum #durhamfoodie #trianglefoodies

My job requires me to do extra squat jumps, but I’m not even mad about it. 😂 With a huge line up of taps, @pourtaproomdurham not only has plenty of choices for beers, but also incredible noms! Make your own board or chow down on one of their delicious paninis. Even better- grab yourself an @offlineraleighdurham perk and get it for free! 🍻 #nctripping #offlineraleighdurham #durhamfoodie #durhamnc #eatingfortheinsta #beertaphouse #trianglefoodies #bullcityeats #beer #craftbeer #eatlocal #local #nc #visitnc #carolina #nom #eeeeeats
