Have You Ever Wondered...

Why You Cannot Find New Things To Do On Google Or Local TV?

If your Google searches for "things to do" always seem to be places you've already been, and things you've already done, you're not alone.

There's a reason Google always seems to give you the same results

Google puts ads at the top and shows the most popular websites first. Your local TV news features the biggest attractions (which frequently are advertisers).

The biggest advertisers and the most popular websites don't change much...

So the same places - like the places you've been a million times - always show up at the top of Google and on TV, leaving you to feel like there's nothing to do here!

It's that sinking, hopeless boredom feeling...

Sound familiar?

It sucks, and we get it.

And it happens to all of us...

Like that vacation when you did all the planned activities and it's only your second day away...

Or the long weekend when you spent more time looking for things to do on Google and YouTube than actually doing something...

Or the surprise weekend without any kid sports and that sudden "now what?" feeling...

Or waking up to all the free time in the world, but nothing to do...

But what if you could fill your days, weekends and vacations with fun things to do?

What if instead of scrolling through Google, YouTube and social media for hours, you had a handy source of things to do?

What if those things to do were all in the Carolinas?

And what if your source included ideas for all age groups, from kids, to parents, to grandparents?

What if your source also shared exclusive discounts and FREE tickets?!
