If someone lets you merge into traffic or gives you space to change lanes, don’t forget the thank you wave

I will say as an Georgian, drink A LOT of water in the summer especially if you're outside a good bit. You will get dehydrated if you don't trust me. Also try Vidalia onions if you have the chance, it's nothing like you had before.

Southern hospitality starts in Southern Virginia and ends at the Florida Georgia line

As a resident of a small town outside Atlanta, this list is 100%. I am from the west coast, married into a ancient Georgian family and these are all things I had to learn when I moved here.

So awesome to be apart of this great video. Congratulations to UGA for the National Championship:). Thanks Mark :).

On your point about not knowing what to expect, you’re absolutely correct. I live in Atlanta and it’s so so much different from Savannah, Augusta, Macon, etc., but it’s still in the same state.

I was in Savannah and Charleston over the Christmas holiday. Savannah is so beautiful and we had the best weather! Everything was great (food, people, architecture, learning about the history, ghost tours etc). Everything was awesome…and it was nice to get away from the freezing Chicagoland weather!!!! I would definitely go back ❤️

I moved from Jacksonville , Florida late last March and now I am living in Georgia . And I am now living in Guyton , Georgia . I want to thank you for sharing this video with me as well as everybody else ! I have seen what the people are like in Georgia and they are indeed friendly ! Again , thank you for sharing this video with me and everybody else as well ! Keep up with the good work !

One thing to add: expounding about how you do things "up north" or "back home" or whatever will not be well received. We don't care how you do it up north. I would add to what Mark said - June and September can get miserable with the humidity also. And on the coast keep in mind the possibility of hurricanes from August through October.

This Georgian appreciates your vlog. Thanks for the shout out to our wonderful state!

I have another don't and that's don't say Roll Tide. I get away with it because I work security at the airport but I wouldn't say it in Georgia.

Thanks for the shout out to the Trolley tours!! We really appreciate it!! It is a great job to have here in Savannah, i personally love showing and teaching everyone what i know about savannah!

So glad you mentioned that all parts of Ga are different! For tourists in Atlanta, I agree the aquarium is great and Coca-Cola world is worth checking out! Nailed that ATL traffic is horrible after 4pm-ish. Also, I'm sooo glad you mentioned Helen, it's a nice city to visit Anna Ruby Falls!! GO DAWGS!!

Congrats to UGA!

I live here in Georgia and you’re absolutely right you’re pretty much nail it ….And summertime is pretty brutal👍

100 times yes on the manners. There are several meanings of "Bless your heart," depending on tone. If your mom told me that she was sick, "I'd say, 'bless your heart,' in an empathic tone. "Bless your heart" said in a sarcastic tone...you know what that means. Oh, and don't talk about how much better Philly or Chicago are...Delta Airlines is ready when you are. Another....don't assume Atlanta is a southern city. It isn't. There's Atlanta and then there's Georgia. Boiled peanuts are better than you'd think....wife hates them, though.

I am reminded how much my family LOVED Savannah when we visited in 2012! The Savannah Dan walking tour is the absolute BEST!!!

also as a georgian, i’ve never had shrimp and grits that’s not a usual thing. but sweet tea is a staple drink and unsweet tea is just poison.

I love this video.... The world is my inspiration. This is such a beautiful suggestion for those seeking to travel the world.

I’m from outside of vidalia Georgia and live beside one of the biggest vidalia sweet onion producers and I must say that if you’re in Georgia you can’t forget to try the vidalia onions because we are proud of them especially in our area and there the only onions you can find around here

I moved to the Savannah area in 1996 and lived there for 14+ years. Rock City was always something to do when visiting Chattanooga, so I never knew (or remembered) that it was a Georgia attraction.

If you are in Savannah in the fall from September to October. Go to a Georgia Southern football game! It’s a 40 minute drive from Savannah to Statesboro. The tailgates are awesome! Fun Atmosphere and friendly people stop by Gnats landing or El sombrero and eat some good food too!

Born and raised in Georgia and I live it so many fun things to do, and the snow and ice thing is so true we just had snow last week and the state was shut down, and Georgia people get so excited to see the snow because it normally doesn’t snow

New Yorker living in Atlanta the last 18 years. You are very correct in your video. The only thing that throws me is "need a buggy", which is a shopping cart.

Great video. My son is a sophomore at UGA. We all love going to Athens for games. Go Dawgs!

As a Georgian (and a HUGE Bulldogs fan), I must say you’ve more or less hit this on the head. Everything in this is right, except for the thing that we don’t use instant grits. Rarely if ever does anyone have the time to make the good, stovetop grits that take FOREVER to make, but they are better. I suppose you usually can get that kind in restaurants though.

Macon is a Georgia treasure, culturally and naturally.

Thank you! I love your channel and I just moved to Georgia. We do not even have a home yet and is staying in an Airbn at the moment. I feel much more confident by watching this vid.

Fresh Savannah crab 🦀 is to die for -- there are plenty of good places to get it. Don't forget the Riverwalk, Carriage & Ghost tours, and there is an awesome Railroad museum downtown also! We always drop into the Pirate's ☠ House when we visit family in Savanna. (Yeah, don't touch the Spanish moss!)

I'm a native Georgian with tree pollen allergies. It is TERRIBLE! I am dying every single March! But everything in this video was spot on. Especially the part about the southern hospitality. Everyone here is so friendly I find myself smiling and waving at people I don't even know.

Im flying over from Texas in June and will be living in Northern Georgia for a few months, i am exited to get to visit such a beautiful state and hope to get some time spent outside in the mountains hiking and fishing.

Just so happens to post this after Georgia wins a national championship!

Glad Helen got a shout-out!! My husband and I honeymooned there in December 2016. It was so cute and Christmasy, and you can't beat the mount views

About driving in Atlanta you are absolutely right. Not only is it crowded but people drive really aggressive on the connector (75/85). But i would also recommend taking advantage of the Marta especially if you want to get outside of Atlanta because it will take you pretty far and you can take it right from the airport. Just don't take it at night.

Manners...MANNERS... love the fact that somewhere in the world still holds those simple polite values...unfortunately a seemingly dying art.

Moved from Minnesota about 4 months ago and it's absolutely awesome

Moved here from Chicago 2 years ago..absolutely love it. So many mountain hikes and waterfalls to swim in up north in Blue Ridge and near Helen, and great culture and southern vibes in the southern part of the state. We go to Savannah a few times a year already and also visit the marsh.

I have lived in Augusta, Ga since…. 9 months before I was born. 4th generation. Love your video. Thank You Sir !!!!

Don't pass up the opportunity to check out some Lewis Grizzard videos on KZfaq. He did hilarious routines on the south and was a fantastic columnist for the AJC. Thanks to Dr. Demento for playing some of his material.

The travel information is great but I'm also learning A LOT about American football teams!

Funny you mention the Georgia / Green Bay ''G"s. When I was a little kid, the first time I saw a college football game on TV it had Georgia playing, and I said "Why are the Packers in red?"

Here's a Southern expression that I haven't used in a while: prit'near = pretty near As in, "Don't you eat out all the time? "Prit'near."

I’m from Atlanta! Awesome video, especially the “bless your heart “ part. True story! And do not say Hotlanta to us! We don’t call it that! ❤️

I'm from Texas and I always say "Don't be ugly." I never realized it was a southern saying. Om another note I love your videos! Your my go-to travel guru for the dos and don't when I'm visiting another state! Thanks for always giving great advice!

Amazing content. I’m going to use your tips this year. Will binge watch your other videos too. Your DC clip got me here. Subbed in a heartbeat. Thank you sir.

I’m from Georgia… thank you for the kind, but true… words, Sir.

Great video....I visited Atlanta 2 years ago and loved it so much I set my first novel there. Great food in Midtown, great open spaces and friendly people. Mark's comment about taking advice is very true....two separate uber drivers recommended the same tea room for fried chicken (which was excellent!).

I live around Atlanta. Transplant from CT. It’s not as humid here as it is in southern GA. It’s less humid than CT.

Hey there! I'm from Atlanta and I love sweet tea lol. Thanks for posting these entertaining videos. Very cool seeing different places anyways thanks for posting loving the videos!

Lived here my whole life (Emanuel county) and this video is spot on!

Bless your heart (nice version), coming from a Massachusetts snowbird who lives in Savannah for half the year, you are AGAIN pretty spot on. My comments as a Snowbird (who lives about 2 miles from Davy's Fruit and Veggie Stand) are as follows: some of us don't like the wet peanuts, the pollen is CONSTANT (called the Savannah Crut here) so buy alot of Benedryl, we've been coming for three years and luckily have yet to see a flying cockroach but recently found the giant Herculum (?) beetles who luckily are harmless, bug spray is needed ALL THE TIME as the knats love warmish weather, and thanks for the lovely shots of our beloved Savannah. Our gorgeous city is well worth visiting and your great shots show that. Thanks again. And yes, the islands of Simon, Jekyll and Dufuskie are wonderful!

can't wait to visit Georgia~

I always watch your videos when I am planning a trip! Love them!

Piedmont Park in Atlanta is a nice place to walk, bike, or just chill out and have a picnic.

Georgia won the National Championship Game 2022

Great video….we just got back from Savannah last night. We were there for a concert, we always love visiting there. We live an hour south of Atlanta. Our daughter lives in Atlanta so we are use to the traffic. But it is terrible. I do love that Ga. is such a friendly state. I’m the one that talks to you while standing in line at the grocery store. Can’t wait to watch some more of your videos.

15:02 brings a tear to my eye

I love Georgia, especially Athens as the people are so nice. Sadly never manged to see a football game but hopefully I will visit there again.

Manners everywhere, not just GA

As a Georgian myself you hit this on the nose. I love myself some good sweet tea like mmmmmmm its some good stuff. My mom who is well from north doesnt like it and it makes me sad. Cause i looovvvvveeeee myself some good sweet tea. Also the humidity and temperature is horrible and the mosquitoes

Harriet and I had a wonderful time in Savannah about four months ago on a recommendation from Jocelyn. We had never been. We would go again. Thank You for the great tips guys.👍👍👍. Sending you guys LOL. 💖💖 Jim and Harriet

From brunswick georgia I moved from there to kansas. and was watching this video because I was becoming nostalgic of the the state. Every thing he's saying is true 🤣 From the humidity to the sweet tea

Wolter, the next time ur in GA please visit and explore Macon.

I don't know about GA but McDonald's in NC has very good sweet tea.

I'm from brunswick georgia, and you were spot on!!

Georgia girl here!!! It's a beautiful state!! Make sure to visit the Chattahoochee river y'all, where country singer Alan Jackson grew up 💋☺️ Boiled peanuts are amazing , peaches are over played here , the Vidalia onions are awesome. Beautiful beaches and scenery. But it gets hot here and I mean HOT!!!! If you come in the summer stay hydrated and wear sunblock. You'll love it otherwise!! Have fun.

PPS. THANKS FOR MENSION GENERAL PUŁASKI IN SAVANNAH

I live in Georgia, born here as well. Always found it amusing people ask for 'Un-sweet" tea. There's no such thing, it's just tea. Un-sweet sounds like it was sweet at first, then you took the sweetness out of it. It's tea by itself, or tea with sugar added.

You sure fooled me! I was looking for Wolter's World's take on the other Georgia, the one that used to be in the USSR.

I’m from Augusta Georgia and you are not kidding about the humidity. We call it the air that you wear .

HOTlanta is a great city to visit!!

I remember, once in a video you said: "Savannah, Georgia might even be Jocelyns favorite city of all in the US"

Georgia defeated Alabama 33-18

One VERY important "don't", which really applies to any place on the planet: do NOT come from another part of the country and compare Georgia unfavorably to where you are from; you do not have to think Georgia is the best place to be, just use good manners. Just as it is rude to go to someone home and criticize the decor (even if it is truly ghastly), it is beyond the pale to come here and do nothing but criticize. If you find Georgia so inferior, well the are several solutions- the top two being I-85 and I-75 north.

Mane, im from Baton Rouge, LA. Waitin on somebody to tell me Well Bless Your Heart

Every self-respecting Georgian ALWAYS has a pitcher of sweet tea in the fridge, always. And, yes, all you all, the boiled peanuts are a MUST. My favorite Southern expression is, "Y'all stay sweet no, y'hear?"

Have you ever gone anywhere where the people aren’t very friendly? From what I’ve seen from you, they’re always great everywhere.

Suprised you mentioned helen ga thats the town I grew up in as a kid still live here just outside and its slowy but surely growing more and more every year.

Second most Lynchy state, southern hospitality!

Another great video! Go Dawgs!!!

As a GA native this is very accurate.

Mary Macs off Ponce is the bomb! Go to the Fox as well. And yes, our traffic is horrendous…great tip about 285. 🤨

Long time viewer and I’m actually in Savannah when you released this! I just came from Atlanta and heading to Charleston tomorrow.

"Most importantly about the food" Dr. Wolters haha love it!

I was born (one of the few who was born there and lived there) in Atlanta and lived there the first 30 years of my life. Don't expect everyone to have a Southern accent in Atlanta, because not many people do. Also, Atlanta is a real international city, we have people from all around the world there, so you can get a lot of authentic world cuisine there. Another thing, don't call Atlanta "hotlanta." No one calls it that. We do, however, call it the ATL (spell it out).

Welcome to my home state!

Go Dawgs Mark great vid!

Where the peaches grow 😍☺️

"There has been a murdah in Savannah, I do declare!" (cit.)

Wet peanuts! 🥜 hahaha! I've never heard someone refer to boiled peanuts as wet nuts 😄

Mobile Alabama, is known for boil peanuts too.

Most importantly, don't get any ideas about moving to Georgia after your visit. We are FULL!

That picture of yours of the grits and shrimp looks delicious.

How Bout them Dawgs! As a lifelong Georgian.. thanks for this video. Love the shots of Athens as well ❤️.

Congratulations on winning the national championship!

Haha I just booked a trip to Georgia in early April and then watched this video 😅

Mark, as a Mississippian, I can confirm that Unsweet tea is a NO in the deep south!!!

Now I definitely agree when it comes to all the bugs except for one thing. There are no little bugs inside the Spanish moss if it's hanging living from the trees. Now big piles of it that have been laying on the ground rotting and dying is a completely different story but have you ever ended up getting bitten by Spanish moss bugs after touching it? That's an old wives tale in fact Spanish moss was wonderful for seat cushions for cars and used in mattresses for a long time You can actually boil Spanish moss and though I wouldn't suggest it it is edible and honestly it's not moss at all it's an air plant it's actually in the bromeliad family. One of my hobbies is growing Spanish moss as well as air plants and actual moss and yes I am a Florida woman but that just means if we can survive Florida we can survive anywhere. And yes everybody is brave until they realize that the roach can fly. Damn things! But there are no colonies of bugs hanging out in living thriving tree swaying Spanish moss. You have a better chance of getting bitten up by little teeny tiny bugs by rolling around in some of the beaches then you do grabbing the Spanish moss off the trees and using it for a makeshift mattress or blanket in an emergency situation as long as you do not go after the dead dying decaying piles that maybe hanging out in lazy hipsters front yards.

Florida man may still be crazy, but he's been blowing away Georgia man lately.

Great video . Very informative.
