Jay Ledbetter

What’s up, pizza lovers? I’m Jay, a graphic designer, bartender, dice roller, and trail traveler. I spend the weekends workshopping craft cocktails and talking to customers about food, so I’m always on the lookout for the next hidden gem to try out. As a designer of graphics, hiker of mountains, and boyfriend of my fellow writer Lee, I’m a sucker for a gorgeous view.

What’s Your Travel Style?

What Georgia Spot Feels
Like ‘Home’ to You?

“I lived in Dahlonega for a while, so any time I find myself back there, I feel at home. I love how close the town is to my favorite hiking spot, Blood Mountain.”

What’s One Thing You
Always Do When You Travel?

“My main tradition is taking a picture with my friends where we all look down into the camera. Aside from that, I have to find the best breakfast spot anywhere I go, and I give bonus points for a good cup of espresso!”
