The @knoxroadtripper story

 

Hello from

East Tennessee

My name is Clayton Hensley (a.k.a. the knoxroadtripper).  I am an East Tennessee native who has always loved to travel.  Following a 15-year career in the television news business, I found myself writing more and more about travel (and many times getting paid for it).  Some writing was for examiner.com as the Knoxville Day Tripper, other times I wrote for the Knoxville News-Sentinel.  Eventually as the newspaper business changed and my passion continued I started turning my attention to being the knoxroadtripper.

My hope is that you'll find plenty of ideas for travels to places you hadn't thought of before, or at least get a new perspective on familiar places. 

My wife and I have lived in Clinton, TN for more than 20-years and we have two kids, who like to travel with us (most of the time)!  My "real" job is working as a communications director for a large church and in what little spare time I have, I like to garden, take lots of pictures, and catch up on all those shows I miss because I'm doing something else.
