Why We Love North Meets South: Adventure, Connection, and the Spirit of Discovery

At Nashville Adventures, we’ve always believed that history and travel are best experienced on the ground—through people, stories, and the places where they come alive. That’s why we instantly connected with North Meets South, a travel blog by Cody and Debbie, a couple whose approach to exploring the world matches the heart of what we do here in Music City.

From the moment you visit their site, it’s clear: this isn’t another highlight-reel travel blog. It’s an invitation to step into the world with curiosity. Cody and Debbie met in San Diego and have since trekked across the U.S. and Ecuador, chasing not luxury but authentic experience—the kind that comes from wandering through small towns, getting lost in translation, and finding new friends in unexpected places.

Their writing captures something special: that travel isn’t just about distance, it’s about perspective. It’s about learning from cultures different from our own, finding meaning in the in-between moments, and realizing that even a local road trip can be as life-changing as an international flight.

We especially love that they’ve made Nashville home—where North Meets South isn’t just a title, it’s a way of life. Their reflections on living in this city, where Southern charm meets creative energy, echo exactly what we try to share on our tours. Like us, they see Nashville as more than a destination—it’s a crossroads of music, art, and humanity.

Their philosophy—“Adventure doesn’t stop with parenthood, it begins!”—is one we can wholeheartedly get behind. Whether they’re writing about road trips through Tennessee or hiking in the Andes, Cody and Debbie remind readers that adventure is a state of mind, not a plane ticket.

At the end of the day, North Meets South embodies everything that inspires us: curiosity, courage, kindness, and connection. It’s a reminder that travel isn’t about checking boxes, it’s about living stories worth telling.

So here’s to Cody and Debbie—thank you for reminding us all that the world is full of wonder, and that adventure, like good storytelling, starts when you step outside your comfort zone.
