Alabama: The Don'ts of Visiting Alabama

Hey there fellow travelers! Greetings from the beautiful state of Alabama. Today we have what tourists should and should not do when they visit Alabama. From not missing out on some of the most important civil rights sights in the US to the beaches of Gulf Shores to having fun at Space Camp there is a lot to do and not do when you visit Alabama.
Let's not forget the important part of picking your Alabama football team, either the Crimson Tide of the University of Alabama or the Auburn Tigers.

Some of Our Favorite Travel Videos We Think Other Travelers Would Love

Our Travel Gear:
Microsoft Surface, Travel Laptop: We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.

Camera Sony Alpha Series: We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.

Western Dynamics 4 TB external hard drive. This let's you save your pictures and videos from your SD cards while you travel without having to use a computer.

Manfrotto Tripods: We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.

Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

Our Packs/Luggage: Want to grab some great gear? We have used Osprey Packs for years & swear by them. Check them out here

Need some clothing for your next adventure? Patagonia has some pretty good stuff for all kinds of travelers.

I am so happy to see the positives of Alabama featured on your channel! Thanks for visiting!

Highways and roads are clean, well maintained. Coming from Southern CA, to be able to drive here and way less traffic is a blessing.

Hey, y'all! I spent a few years as a child in Alabama, as my father was stationed at Maxwell AFB in Montgomery, the state capital. I still travel to or through AL every so often. Alabama is a nice state with nice people. Sweet Home Alabama!!

Seriously though, you are right about the manners. Even at Auburn where a bunch of college students are rushing trying to get to class, you hold the door and you check behind you to hold it for the next person and don’t let go until you pass it off. You do NOT drop the door on someone’s butt, no matter what age they are. 😂

And THANK YOU for reminding people to check their elitist attitudes towards Southerners at the state line. We get it enough from the media and Hollywood and believe me, even if we’re too polite to say it to your face, don’t bring that attitude here in person. If your idea of “fun” is fun at our expense, stay home.

Thank you for the kind words about my home town! :)

I am a Home Inspector in South Alabama and I have performed more inspections from people from out of state in 2021 than I have the whole time I have been a Home Inspector. Some have told me they moved here to prevent from becoming homeless. I have so many clients from out of state, that I put up a video on my channel, letting them know what to expect when they move here.

I was born and raised in Huntsville. Wonderful place!

I love the idea of Southern manners. It reminds me of being a young Australian and actually trying to be polite with people. :-)

I lived in alabama for 4 years and loved alabama I'm getting ready to move back you are exactly right about everything my mom was from alabama and dad was from arkansas

I'm sold. Alabama has a beach. How were the ribs. You and Joceylns shows are the only ones where I won't skip the ads

[davestrasburg]

When l was touring Alabama, l never bothered with any sports teams. Mobile has an interesting carnival museum; also in Mobile, not to be missed are the gorgeous New Orleans-style sweets sold. About Southern manners, this is one of the many things that l just love about the South! And as to the commonly-held stereotype about Alabamians, and Southerners in general, being "hicks" or "Okies, " here l fanatically agree with you: Alabamians, and Southerners in general, are great!

I only been living here for the last 3 years but it is one of the friendliest, nicest places i have ever lived. I've lived in a lot of places too, from places up north like Jersey, Maryland and Delaware to out west like New Mexico and Arizona. Honestly, none of them compare to just how pleasant people are here. I was really surprised.

Huntsville is called Rocket City for a reason. And Huntsville has one of the highest per capita amount of engineers in the USA.

An Alabama staple is Peach Park if you’re heading to or from the beach! Great peaches and icecream. Home of the giant peach water tower
