Is Asheville the COOLEST Hipster town?

I feel like we are ordained hipsters now after spending this much time in Asheville. What's up, V Nation? We are coming to you live. No, I'm kidding. What's up, V Nation? We are in Asheville, North Carolina. We have wanted to come to the Blue Ridge Mountains for so long now. It just happened to take Leah's birthday to convince me to come down here finally. We have been here one time previously, but it was really like a straight shot from Texas to Maryland. Like three days, get there as fast as you can. I think we slept outside of Asheville and like literally drove through it. So this time we're actually stopping and trying to figure out what it's all about like we normally do. It is super cute. We love it so far. Let's go see more. This place is super different. Like I had no idea. It's like a cross between San Francisco, Leah said Denver. It's like, hate Ash Ferry. There's like Hippie culture here that I was not expecting. It's like been very refreshing to see because I didn't know that was a thing. And it's like in a mountain town, but the streets are like super tiny and it's every building feels really quaint and small and like it's funky. I don't know. It's like funky, but like not It's hipster. Yeah, this is what I'm trying to say. It is the definition of hipster. But like cool. Like no, like this is what I feel like hipster is because hipsters a little bit You you have a little bit more money than a hippie would normally have where they just give everything here. It's like Trendy hipster. I don't even know All these little stores are very like ethereal artsy Thailand Give me a back massage and like read my tarot reading. All in one. We got pumpkin spice. Come on. Getting a pumpkin spice? No we're not. You letting me get a pumpkin spice? Okay, so today was not the day for the red bus I don't know what this is called. It's like called little bus or something. Ridiculous. Because it's huge But we're not doing it today because we only have nine minutes on our parking meter and we have to get back to the car And that would have taken like 20 in itself. So we're gonna come back Hopefully when we leave town. I just want to say we just stopped for a pumpkin spice latte And it's only happening because it's Leah's birthday. Any other time I would give a crap for getting a pumpkin spice latte and being so basic because we're world travelers, but The American is showing in her today And I had a coupon It was free. The reason why we came to Asheville in the first place Was because I wanted to go hiking in the mountains as the leaves were turning and my favorite color is orange. So it's just like Combination like I just this is what I wanted and Zach Agreed to come with me. I mean, hopefully the leaves are gonna be changing. We're gonna get on the Blue Ridge Parkway like right now We're in the forest everything's trying to kill us. There's bears, ticks, poison ivy. I don't even know what else. Leah's like we need to be prepared We have a headlight Wait, I did bring a headlight. My dad would be very proud of me But also we got like a really late start. So the sun's going down and it's getting really cold really fast We may not survive But apparently Leah puts on a trail that hikes eight miles. So fingers crossed we can finish this whole thing. If this is the right one we don't even know And now Leah's trail has led us to the road, but don't worry I'm an Eagle Scout I always know where I am I just let her have fun with this My name's Zach. I'm an Eagle Scout Look a trail Oh look a trail A trail Zach was doubting me. He was like we're not gonna find it I was like I swear it is a trail that exists and this is the parking lot and we found it Good job Are these chestnuts? Like we found in New York City What do you think? I have no idea The only thing I've ever eaten a chestnut. It looks like a chestnut Another one Oh my god that's four That's so cool These have to be chestnuts. Comment in the comment section below if you know because They have to be Even on a trip it is still just so nice to be outside Like spend an entire weekend outside I think we both really needed this My gosh my best friend Daniel told me about these And he said these little stickers are all over the United States Like on random streets, on random mountains And I found it on a mountain This is the first one I found outside I always see them on the streets Alright and we were running up this trail If you haven't noticed we have been exercising a lot on our vacations We put it in two of our vlogs now But that's just our new thing that we do We had a cheeseburger for lunch and now we just feel like we need to Work it off There we go We really did run up this hill thinking that this would be like the pinnacle But it's definitely not The pinnacle means so many things to me So that's really funny that in the Blue Ridge Mountains There is a pinnacle That looks at Forested Hills But you know it's okay I'm an Eagle Scout So anyways Now we're going to go back down the mountain And hopefully this one doesn't fall again Because I'm not going to help her up Also it's getting really cold Like I was saying my hands are getting Antarctica cold Like it's cold It's cold? It's cold So I think we're going to turn around Let's do it This is how she falls really quickly Okay there we go And now we just got done hiking And I think it's time It's time to go have her birthday dinner What did you want? Well We're always on a budget So I did some research And I found this place that had Indian food And that just sounded like really good And like something that I can't prepare for us You know so like It's tantalizing And there was a picture Of a non taco And that just like I was like done We're going there Let's go It's the next morning It got too cold and too late And we just decided to stay in So it's the next morning On my actual birthday Happy birthday And now we're going to go get the non taco And hopefully fingers crossed Get her that coffee that she wanted yesterday Earlier in the video we saw the double decker bus It's so cute Like people were saying online that it's a very touristy thing to do But you just have to do it Because it's so unique And what better time to do it than on your birthday Let's go You can see it I got a lavender latte Breaking the mold of October No pumpkin spice today It's good, it's really good You would like this If Zach drank coffee he would like this He doesn't drink coffee We met in Washington state where lavender was a really big thing And at the restaurant At the hotel we worked at They had lavender iced tea Or excuse me lavender lemonade It was so good So like the taste of lavender It has like a little adorable spot in our hearts It's all this hype Of the non taco The like squishy bread With Indian filled meats And like pickled onions It's not going to happen It's alright we're going to have to figure out something else But I'm really sorry The non taco is not happening Now we have made it to the Asian place that Leah originally Recommended when we came to Asheville Like this is what she wanted to do We had Asian tapas like 4 years ago When she visited me in Germany When I was on my vacation That was for her birthday So Asian tapas This is the best birthday Alright brunch was amazing Thanks for having a birthday And giving me an excuse to have Asian tapas I feel like we are ordained hipsters now After spending this much time in Asheville What about you?
