SUMMARY:AVL Digital Nomads | Travel Talk
DESCRIPTION:AVL Digital Nomads\nCalling all travel lovers! AVL Digital Nom
 ads is starting a travel series\, and this month we're focused on YOU\, th
 e people in the room.\n\nJoin us for rapid-fire get-to-know you rounds to 
 intentionally talk about travel. Chat with someone new to swap stories\, f
 ind out where they've been\, what's on their list\, and whether your trave
 l styles click. You'll have \\~10 minutes to talk\, then we rotate so you 
 can meet someone new. We'll do a few rounds\, then settle in and hang out 
 for the rest of the evening. Think of this less like a formal event and mo
 re like finding your new travel buddies or friends with great recs.\n​\n
 **A heads up:** ​We'll be using a new platform built for travelers like 
 you\, called **Stravvy**\, to facilitate the session. We suggest setting u
 p a quick traveler profile before the event so you're ready to hit the gro
 und running (takes \\~5 min). Folks who RSVP will receive an invite link a
 head of the event\, se be sure to register and keep an eye on your inbox!\
 n​As always\, AVL Digital Nomads is free to attend and new faces are alw
 ays welcome. Feel free to invite a friend!\n\n​Questions? Reach out to [

SUMMARY:Manifesting Self
DESCRIPTION:AVL Digital Nomads\n**Location Change:**\n**Disclaimer: In all
  efforts to keep this Meetup a safe space\, we all agree to keep anything 
 said within the group private and confidential.**\n\nDo you want to take y
 our remote working game to the next level? Do you find yourself saying wtf
  is Manifesting Self??\n\nWell\, you’re not alone. Remote working is gla
 morous\, and also presents itself with challenges not seen in the traditio
 nal office environment.\n\nManifesting Self may sound a little out there. 
 Trust me. It’s not. Whether we’ve been in the remote space for years\,
  since the pandemic\, or just recently\, I’m certain it has changed each
  of us in ways we never thought possible. Let’s explore that together. T
 he highs\, the lows\, and everywhere in between. And from there experience
  growth.\n\nWe are so excited to see you\, again or for the first time!

SUMMARY:The Stranger Hour: A Non-Networking Experiment
DESCRIPTION:AVL Digital Nomads\nConfession time: we love our people. Maybe
  a little too much. At every social\, we see the same happy circles\, and 
 we get it. Your friends are great. But somewhere out there tonight is your
  next great friend\, and you haven't met them yet.\n\nSo here's the challe
 nge.\n\n**The Rules**\n\n1. From 6:00 to 7:30\, you can't talk to anyone y
 ou knew before tonight.\n2. Waves are free. Conversations are not.\n3. Cam
 e with a friend? Split up at 6:00 sharp.\n\n**The Stakes:** If you're caug
 ht chatting with someone you already know\, you both owe a beverage (booze
  optional) to whoever called you out. Yes\, your friends will absolutely b
 e watching you.\n\n**The Reunion:** At 7:30\, find your crew and bring at 
 least one new friend with you.\n\nNew to ADN? Congratulations\, you alread
 y know the rules better than anyone. Everyone here is a stranger to someon
 e tonight.\n\nThe game starts at 6:00 on the dot\, so come on time. Will y
 ou accept the challenge?\n\nMasterbbq\, their resident food vendor will be

SUMMARY:Classy Cocktails at Capella on 9
DESCRIPTION:AVL Digital Nomads\nClassy Cocktails: Nine Floors Up 🍸✨\n
 \nOkay\, Classy Cocktailers\, we’re taking the word classy rather seriou
 sly this month.\n\nFor October\, we’re heading nine floors above downtow
 n Asheville to Capella on 9\, the gorgeous rooftop bar at the AC Hotel\, f
 or cocktails\, conversation and one seriously good view.\n\nAnd yes\, it i
 s every bit as fabulous as it looks.\n\nWednesday\, October 29\n\n6:30 to 
 8:30 PM\n\nCapella on 9\n\n10 Broadway\, 9th Floor\, Downtown Asheville\n\
 nCapella is one of those places that makes you want to sit down\, order so
 mething pretty in a glass and stay awhile.\n\nThe rooftop overlooks downto
 wn and the Blue Ridge Mountains\, with fire features\, sophisticated loung
 e spaces and that magical Asheville-at-dusk backdrop that should be showin
 g off nicely right around the time we arrive. Inside\, the space is sleek\
 , modern and seriously elevated. Literally and otherwise. 😏\n\nThe cock
 tail menu goes well beyond your basic gin and tonic\, with house-crafted d
 rinks\, barrel-select cocktails and creations like their Smoked Bourbon Ol
 d Fashioned. If cocktails aren’t your thing\, there’s wine\, bubbles\,
  local beer and non-alcoholic options too.\n\nAnd nobody needs to drink di
 nner. Capella also serves tapas and small plates made for sharing\, includ
 ing charcuterie and cheese boards\, patatas bravas\, seafood\, vegetables 
 and more substantial options if you arrive hungry.\n\nThis one feels like 
 the perfect October Classy Cocktails night. Crisp fall air\, rooftop fire\
 , mountain views\, beautiful surroundings\, good drinks and a couple of ho
 urs hanging out with interesting people.\n\nCome dressed however makes you
  feel fabulous. Capella may technically lean casual\, but I’m just sayin
 g... this place can handle a little effort. 😉\n\nGrab a cocktail. Order
  a few tapas. Pull up a chair by the fire.\n\nWe’ll see you nine floors 
 up. 🍸🔥🌆

  Sun* by Kazuo Ishiguro**\n[Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/059331817X) 
 - [GoodReads](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54120408-klara-and-the-s
 un)\n\n*Here is the story of Klara\, an Artificial Friend with outstanding
  observational qualities\, who\, from her place in the store\, watches car
 efully the behavior of those who come in to browse\, and of those who pass
  on the street outside. She remains hopeful that a customer will soon choo
 se her. Klara and the Sun is a thrilling book that offers a look at our ch
 anging world through the eyes of an unforgettable narrator\, and one that 
 explores the fundamental question: what does it mean to love?*\n\n\\-\\-\\

 h a few chapters? Still come. Didn’t read it at all but the discussion s
 ounds interesting? Honestly\, you’re welcome too.\nWe meet on the **firs
 t Tuesday of every month**.\n\nOne of the best things about this group is 
 that we keep it relatively small and guide the conversation\, so it doesn

 their life choices. Everyone has a chance to jump in\, share their thought
 s\, and explore the book’s characters\, themes\, writing\, and bigger id
 eas.\n\nYou definitely don’t need to be a literary expert. Whether you r
 ead constantly or you’re trying to get back into it\, this is a relaxed 
 place to discover new books\, hear different perspectives\, and meet some 
 great people along the way.

SUMMARY:AVL Digital Nomads - Book Club
DESCRIPTION:AVL Digital Nomads\n**December 2026 Selection - *When Breach B
 ecomes Air* by Paul Kalanithi**\n[Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/When-Brea
 th-Becomes-Paul-Kalanithi/dp/081298840X/) - [GoodReads](https://www.goodre
 ads.com/book/show/25899336-when-breath-becomes-)\n\n*At the age of thirty-
 six\, on the verge of completing a decade’s worth of training as a neuro
 surgeon\, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. One day 
 he was a doctor treating the dying\, and the next he was a patient struggl
 ing to live. And just like that\, the future he and his wife had imagined 
 evaporated. When Breath Becomes Air chronicles Kalanithi’s transformatio
 n from a naïve medical student “possessed\,” as he wrote\, “by the 
 question of what\, given that all organisms die\, makes a virtuous and mea
 ningful life” into a neurosurgeon at Stanford working in the brain\, the
  most critical place for human identity\, and finally into a patient and n
 ew father confronting his own mortality.*\n\n*What makes life worth living
  in the face of death? What do you do when the future\, no longer a ladder
  toward your goals in life\, flattens out into a perpetual present? What d
 oes it mean to have a child\, to nurture a new life as another fades away?
  These are some of the questions Kalanithi wrestles with in this profoundl
 y moving\, exquisitely observed memoir.*\n\n*Paul Kalanithi died in March 
 2015\, while working on this book\, yet his words live on as a guide and a
  gift to us all. “I began to realize that coming face to face with my ow
 n mortality\, in a sense\, had changed nothing and everything\,” he wrot
 e. “Seven words from Samuel Beckett began to repeat in my head: ‘I can
 ’t go on. I’ll go on.’” When Breath Becomes Air is an unforgettabl
 e\, life-affirming reflection on the challenge of facing death and on the 
 relationship between doctor and patient\, from a brilliant writer who beca
 me both.*\n\n\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\
