Welcome

Venture to the SmokiesHi. My name is Venture the traveling teddy bear.™

Welcome to my website.

One of my favorite places to travel to is Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee and North Carolina. I love to explore the waterfalls, meadows, mountains, and forests to discover many of the animals of the Smokies — especially bears!

It’s so beautiful there that I’ve written a children’s book about it.

It’s called Venture to the Smokies: A Teddy Bear Explores Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

With child-friendly information, abundant photographs, and engaging activities, I help children aged six to eleven experience the beauty of the park.
