New story about Wilmington's @thalianhall in @ourstatemag. This nearly 166-year-old theater makes for a stunning space to see a play, a concert, or even a comedian (looking at you @cliffcashcomedy). #thalia #thalianhall #muses #wilmington #ourstate #travelwithmoon #moonguides

When you dine @three10wilmington, you'll find some of the best oysters of your life. Tune in to @mypbsnc where I visit three10 for @ncweekend and then make a reservation. Episode airs Thursday at 9 and I'll post links in my bio once they're live #ncweekend #ilm #visitnc #wilmington #910 #oysters #seafood

@salitapizza you've done it again: yet another favorite bite on my list of favorite bites. #pizza #anchovies #tinnedfish #fishwife #cargodistrict #travel #travelwriter

Went to Ocracoke looking for lighthouses (I found one and its tiny twin), shellfish, sunsets and sailboats; ended up finding the best tuna fish sandwich of my life and hunting for ghosts. Stories coming soon. #ocracoke #visitnc #travelwithmoon #travelguide #moonguides #nccoast #visitnc

Can anyone name this swimming hole in Great Smoky Mountains National Park? #gsmnp #waterfall #swimminghole #mountains #smokymountains #travelwithmoon #moonguides #moonnc #onlyinnc @northcarina #nationalpark

The inaugural @feastwilmington food festival is in the books and it was fantastic. Great job to @jdmaurer and the team from @wilmington.mm who piulled this together, putting on a fantastic weekend on a tight timeline. Every every event and tasting was packed with people and fantastic bites. Excited to see how Feast evolves and serves up the flavors of Wilmington and the Cape Fear region next year. #feast #foodfest #ilm #wilmington #northcarolina

A few@things I'm working on: the story of a North Carolina fisherman and his efforts to spread the gospel of seafood, Wilmington's historic Thalian Hall, and a restaurant in Boone serving Appalachian cuisine. #travelwriter #tvstorytelling #ouratate #ncweekend #pbs #travelwithmoon #tarheeltourist #onlyinnc #visitnc

I will forever be in awe of the ice in Antarctica. Miles thick. Millions of years old. Improbably blue or clear or crystalline white. #iceberg #itsice #berg #antarctica #adventure #travel

On Detaille Island, an Antarctic Research Station stands alone. Preservationists and historians, on site to repair and catalogue the structure, found a place abandoned on a moment's notice: magazines unread, food spoiling on the shelves, bottles of spirits left to evaporate in the cold, games only just begun. Why would they leave so fast? Ice growing in the bay and the dark growing longer each night drove them to pack the dogsleds and make a long trek over the ice to a waiting ship. #detailleisland #antarctica #lovecraft #mountains of madness #travel #games #ghoststory #scrabble

Iceberg, sunset: Antarctica, 2024. #sunset #iceberg #antarctica #travel #togetherwewillliveforever

At Antarctica Research Station Y on Horseshoe Island, many of the rocks are laced with malachite. The green veins add an otherworldly element to this already otherworldly place. #antarctica #horseshoeisland #malachite #geologyrocks #whitecontinent #travel #adventuretravel #tarheeltourist

Made it to Antarctica and I'm not sure how to describe the beauty of this landscape, and I'm not sure my pictures will do it justice, so here's a shot of me with some icebergs and mountains in the background. (Without the amazing eye - and thumb - of @estherjulee - you'd never get to see this face) #antarctica #travel #phish #sevenbelow #antarcticcircle #expeditioncruise #travel #endsoftheearth

We made it to Ushuaia! So did this dude on his motorcycle. Way to go, motorcycle dude! Antarctica, here we come. (Note: not clear if motorcycle dude will be driving to Antarctica). #ushuaia #argentina #patagonia #antarctica #travel #tarheeltourist
