When you're thinking about moving to Atlanta, you'll notice that there are a number of attractive areas to consider. Atlanta is unique in that it has more trees than most other large cities in the globe. When you have the opportunity to kick back and relax, you will undoubtedly experience a sense of calm and relaxation. Homebuyers receive a lot of bang for their buck because the cost of Atlanta houses for sale and rent is much more reasonable than many other big cities. Taxes are lower than in some other large cities, but having a car is a must because public transportation is restricted, so you'll have to factor that into your monthly budget.
As we reach one of the most lovely seasons in the south, the oppressive heat and humidity of summer fade away, and a crispness fills the air. Autumn ushers us a magnificent display of colorful, autumn-hued leaves, crisp mornings, cool winds, and brilliant blue skies. The beautiful hiking temperatures of fall entice us to grab a jacket and set out on the trail in search of some spectacular fall beauty.
Apple Picking
Adults and children of all ages will love wandering through the apple orchards, selecting out the ideal apples to take home and eat fresh or to use in a delicious apple recipe. Apple picking is not only entertaining, but it also teaches youngsters about where their food comes from and how it is grown. Now is the opportunity to start making apple picking an annual family event. Make a weekend of it and take in all that the north Georgia mountains have to offer in the fall.
Georgia State Fair
The Georgia State Fair takes over the Atlanta Motor Speedway every fall, and while it was technically open last year as well, many people stayed away owing to health and safety concerns. The fair is now open from October 1 to October 10, giving Atlanta residents ten days to savor fair food like turkey legs and funnel cake, play carnival-style rides, and see amazing live acts.
Camping
Build a fire, gaze up at the stars, gather colorful leaves, and spend quality time with your family. Georgia State Parks also provide fantastic camping opportunities. And organized campgrounds frequently hold a number of exciting fall activities, such as campsite trick-or-treating and pumpkin contests, as well as enjoyable harvest festivals. These suggestions are in addition to the classic fall camping activities of hiking, boating, and fishing.
Pumpkin Picking
Nothing beats going to a local farm to choose a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch, traverse a corn maze, ride a hayride, and enjoy some good old-fashioned fall fun! Remember to choose the ideal pumpkin for your autumn porch display. You can choose your own, go on a hayride, or take a selfie in one of the many pumpkin patches.
Travel Tips United States

Skyscanner is my favorite search engine for finding cheap flights to the United States, from anywhere in the world. I always start my flight search here!
Transportation and Getting around within the US

Renting a car: Discovercars is one of the most trustworthy websites for online car rental bookings; they compare car rental deals from many companies so that you can choose which is best for your trip.

Hostels, hotels and resorts: Booking.com is excellent if you're looking for hotels from budget to luxury! It's one of the largest hotel booking websites in the
world. Plenty of options to book now and pay later, or even pay at the hotel. Risk-free booking, many with free cancellation. My other go to is Agoda.
Homestays and Housesits: For a more authentic and local experience I recommend Homestay.com, a website where you can find places to stay with locals for such a great price. Personally, I'm obsessed with Trusted Housesitters, where you get to stay completely for free in exchange for pet care. Find out more in my article on How to Become a House Sitter and Never Pay for Accommodation.

eSIM - Stay connected with Internet
Get an eSIM before you go and have Internet available from the second you arrive! I highly recommend Roamless or JetPac - they're both highly ranked, inexpensive and reliable.

Never go adventuring without travel insurance! I recommend Genki or SafetyWing - they're both very affordable and will cover you in an emergency.
