Blogs from Knoxville, Tennessee, United States, North America - page 16

So this is my attempt at an entry to my travel blog. I leave Atlanta at around 5pm on November 6th, have a layover in Houston for about 3 hours, and then finally arrive in Buenos Aires November 7 at around 11am I think.

And now it's a little over a month since I've been home (yes for those of you who don't know yet. I'm no longer in Japan, but if you didnt know you should have).

After that I finished up my schoolwork, went out a lot with friends, said my goodbyes, and managed to get to my gate at KIX as they were boarding (I'm not only home but lucky to ... read more

This is my page about KnoxvilleI lived in Knoxville for about two years. I moved there because I was offered a job at the University of Tennessee which is a flagship University, the largest in the state. Knoxville is a wonderful city situated on an international waterway. It is located just outside Great Smoky Mountains National Park and is home to the University of Tennessee Volunteer football and basketball teams. There is lots to do in Knoxville. First and foremost, the seasons are incredible and it is a very tempered area, which means that it is never too cold in the winter and the summer, although hot, is very tolerable. The spring brings blooming at the beginning of March, just in time for the famousDog Wood Festivalwhich happens in April. I live in one of the ... read more
