Discovering Hidden Gems in Our Hometown | Touring Roanoke, Virginia Like Never Before

In this heartwarming episode of our 'Goodbye USA' series, join us, as we embark on an extraordinary adventure in our own backyard: Roanoke, Virginia. As we prepare to bid farewell to our beloved hometown and embark on a new chapter in Thailand, we wanted to immerse ourselves in the charm and beauty of Roanoke as if we were tourists.
Our day begins at the captivating Mill Mountain Zoo, where we encounter a menagerie of fascinating creatures and share precious moments with our curious toddler son, Liam. Little did we know that just steps away from the zoo, a hidden gem awaited us-a free garden area that even Abbey, a Roanoke native, was unaware of, adding an unexpected touch of serenity to our journey.
Next, we revisit the spot on top of Mill Mountain where our lives changed forever-the very place where we got engaged and made the life-changing decision to pursue our dreams in Asia. As the panoramic vistas of Roanoke unfold before us, we reflect on the bittersweet emotions of leaving our hometown behind.
Our exploration wouldn't be complete without savoring the flavors of Roanoke. We delve into the culinary delights of a traditional Cambodian restaurant, savoring vibrant dishes that transport us to distant lands. To cap off the video, we indulge in a visit to our favorite local coffee shop, RND, Roasters Next Door, where the familiar aroma and warm ambiance create the perfect backdrop for reminiscing about cherished memories.
Join us on this remarkable journey of rediscovery and appreciation for the place we've called home. As we venture beyond our comfort zones, we're reminded of the value of embracing our roots and cherishing the moments we have in Virginia. Let this video serve as a tribute to the extraordinary adventures that await us in Thailand, while reminding us to hold onto the precious memories we've created in Roanoke.
