Hi, I’m Deborah!

I live in the beautiful mountains of East Tennessee with my husband and our three dogs—a toy Goldendoodle, a toy Cavapoo, and a teacup Cavapoo.

I’m a small business owner by day and a part-time Uber driver by choice…because someone has to keep the travel fund alive!

When I’m home, I’m usually dreaming about or planning my next adventure. I have an insatiable desire to see the world. I love the freedom of a road trip and exploring at my own pace, but I’ve also discovered that guided tours can be an incredible way to experience a destination.

I started TN Gypsy Girl to share my love of travel through stories, photography, and honest experiences. You’ll find the highlights, the mishaps, the hidden gems, and plenty of practical tips I’ve learned along the way. My goal is to help you make the most of your own adventures while showing you what these amazing places are really like.

Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or the trip of a lifetime, I hope you’ll subscribe and follow along. Most of all, I hope this blog inspires you to get out there, explore somewhere new, and create unforgettable memories of your own.
