About Me
Hey! I’m Amanda and I’m your local guide to the scenic city. As a detail lover, my guides are full of the nitty gritty so you can feel well prepared for your next adventure exploring Chatt and beyond.
I’ve lived in Chattanooga for over 10 years and have explored places even born-locals haven’t heard of. My favorite things to do are hiking and camping in the nearby mountains and eating at local restaurants. And aside from this, my other hobbies include cars and crafting.
Why Exploring Chatt?
Growing up, I loved giving directions to kids on this massive playground I’d frequent. It was so big with so many intersections and dead ends, so many kids would get lost. Eventually I learned all the paths quite well, so when scared children felt trapped in the nightmare of this jungle gym, I was able to gracefully guide them out. They were all so grateful every time and I felt like I was a necessary part of that playground. What did these kids do when I wasn’t there? I’ll never know, and I’ll never understand why such a dangerous playground concept was built, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved being able to help others find their way out of the mess and I loved exploring all the avenues it offered too.
And thus, when deciding what passion of mine to share about, Exploring Chatt was born. Here I can share my love of Chattanooga and for exploring new places. All while providing directions for those in need. Wondering where to hike that fits your criteria? I’ve got a guide for you. Wondering what local business to visit? All of them! Haha, no seriously, they’re all so great. And, if there’s something I haven’t covered, feel free to reach out to me in the comments, an Instagram DM, or shoot me an email. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. That’s what I’m here for! Helping you navigate Chattanooga while Exploring Chatt one post at a time.
