North Carolina City Named Among The Best For Active Travelers
When it comes to options for active travelers Charlotte’s got a lot. See what I did there?
There are two types of people on vacation- the doers and the relaxers. I’m certainly among the doers. If I’m spending the time and money to go somewhere new I want to be out and about seeing all that city or town has to offer. Not sitting in the hotel all day.
However my definition of “doing” is not full-blown athletic activities. I may go on a short hike or something of the sort but I’m certainly not participating in sports. A beach bike ride, sure thing. But you won’t find me on a pickleball court.
That being said there are plenty of people who fit the definition of active travelers. And for those people did you know that for active travelers Charlotte actually has a lot to offer?
