This is a story I've been wanting to tell for a long time - West Virginia. Appalachian accents. Southern hospitality.

I spent 24 hours driving alone through America's poorest region, called McDowell County. It's a place where the minimum household income is less than $29,000 USD, and where ghost towns have been left behind in the aftermath of a booming coal industry.

In many respects, this is the forgotten Americaโ€”a place where time has seemingly stood still. Yet, the narratives youโ€™ll encounter here are among the most compelling Iโ€™ve ever told, anywhere in the world.

I've been telling travel stories since 2017 - more than 1,200 videos - and about 97% of them have been overseas. But now I'm beginning to realize that the most captivating ones are right here, in my own backyard.

Thank you for watching this story - and a special shoutout to Dave and Tess who spontaneously joined me to help bring this West Virginia story to life. I can't wait to help get them a passport and take them on their first international trip soon! Where should we go?!
