Welcome World Travelers! I am Susan Pitcher, and I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Western North Carolina’s mountains – where hiking to hidden waterfalls and soaking in the cool shade of towering trees is just another day in paradise. When I’m not exploring these scenic trails, I’m off discovering the many wonders of our country and beyond. From coast to coast and across oceans, every journey brings a new adventure and unforgettable connections with amazing people.

My heart also beats for another calling – I’m proud to serve as a Registered Nurse on an adolescent psychiatric unit. Helping others heal and grow is just as rewarding as planning the perfect getaway! I am also a real-estate developer and currently working on building a tiny house on a gorgeous mountain area with additional tiny houses to follow in the future so I can enjoy hosting travelers to our beautiful Western North Carolina mountains!
