Q: What other passions do you have besides your business?
A: Yoga!
While visiting Asheville, Rachel recommends:
- Asheville is a magical place with endless options – it’s so hard to choose! We always recommend going for a hike with the dog at the NC Arboretum, having coffee at Farewell. Wander around the River Arts, tacos at White Duck. Bop around downtown and grab a juice and snack at Pulp + Sprout. Dinner at Haywood Common or Leo’s Winebar.
