What a treat it was to spend the weekend at Bode Hotel in Nashville, TN. Bode is a super unique hotel, in that it is apartment style living, making check-in/out super easy. The apartments had a great communal space for us to come together, but also retreat to our separate rooms to recharge. This place is setup for socializing…complete with bar, restaurant, coffee shop, fire pits, picnic tables, giant Jenga, corn hole, and more!

I had recently linked up with author Lily Hansen, while visiting Nashville to work with fellow photographer and friend, John Brown. Lily and I instantly hit it off, as we both love meeting new people and learning more about them. And we were quick to try to figure out ways to work together! I recommend you check out her latest book Word of Mouth: More Conversations, as well as it’s predecessor, Word of Mouth: Nashville Conversations.

Watch her Ted Talk, and you’ll see why I was so eager to spend more time with this talented lady!

I’m looking forward to returning to Bode, and working/visiting with these two again in the near future. If you’re looking for a fun getaway, I highly recommend a stay at Bode!
