CHARLOTTE

Dear Travel Friend,
​
The only reason you don't LOVE Charlotte, North Carolina is because perhaps you haven't been there! This North Carolina city is the largest in the state and is growing fast! The weather is mild, and the fun is non-stop! Now start planning your next trip to Charlotte! ​ 
Sincerely, 
​Erik

MEET ERIK THE TRAVEL GUY

Picture
My name is Erik Hastings, (a.k.a. Erik the Travel Guy) and I am an EMMY award-winning television personality who speaks directly to viewers who simply "get their vacations wrong". In addition to being a single dad of two amazing children, I am the host and managing editor of the internationally syndicated television series "Beyond Your Backyard" for public broadcasting stations (PBS) and other networks/VOD platforms. I am thrilled to be a part of an incredibly talented team of industry pros and the editorial driving force of my media platform. While the travel industry directly supports millions of families worldwide, I believe travel makes the world a better place. Through exploration and discovery, I have learned that travel brings cultures together. Read Erik's Full Bio.
