- My postbox was full of Christmas surprises last time I checked! This one is a set of maps that Adam, a subscriber from the US, sent of Tennessee and parts of Appalachia. A big thank you! It was a pleasure looking at this part of the world and I hope you all enjoy this relaxing trip to the Great Smoky Mountains with me.
Mishka was not really in the mood this time but I hope she'll join us again soon for the next recording session.

I've switched hosts for the English language podcast this week. If you run into any issues (availability, ad placements etc), please let me know! The German language episodes aren't affected by this.
Podcasts!?! Please tell me where I can find these! I am in serious need of offline melange asmr audio for flights over incredible places like Tennessee! Thanks for another brilliant video!
@@malchick79 Oh, I hope it wasn't misleading - it's just the audio only version for those who prefer to keep their screens off. Just search for Melange ASMR on Spotify/Apple Podcast/Podbean etc :)
Thank you. Just thank you so much. I've been struggling trying to move to Tennessee, it's been an incredibly long tedious journey. Some night I want cry myself to sleep because it hurts so much. This state means so much to me. I hope in the end this long painful process will all be worth it. This is absolute therapy, peace and a haven for me right now. I can't even tell you. It came at the right time. Your my favorite peach on TH-cam, Mel. This is encouraging and uplifting at the moment . Thank you
Best of luck!
Tennessee is a beautiful place. Best of luck to you
Good luck, safe travels, and I hope your wishes come true!
Amazing video! As a Tennessean I love seeing our state represented by non locals! I'd say greetings from Knoxville, but I live in Germany now 😁
I am from Alabama and I have never heard anyone pronounce it as beautiful as you did. Thank you for making this video. The Appalachian mountains are such a glorious sight to behold. I always felt honored to have the foothills in my back yard. I hope you can come visit someday! We would love to have you!
Also thank you for mentioning the Cherokee. Those are my families people and it made me so happy to hear them brought up. ❤
That is so sweet, thank you! I'm sure that I would absolutely love the landscape, everything I've seen of the Appalachians was just gorgeous. A hike would be dream!
I’m from North Carolina, and I’d love for you to trace a map of it sometime! I love your voice and of course, the lovely schnurrs from Mishka!
WOW. Such odd timing. My partner and I just bought a house in Eastern TN (Knoxville) 4 days ago. Taking this video as a blessing 😊
The Smokies are one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen.
North Georgian here. I’m on the eastern side, but I’m glad to see the appalachians in a video!
From the pictures I've seen, I'm a little in love with those mountains. Such a gorgeous landscape!
Wonderful! I grew up on the opposite side of the country, so I really didn't know much about Tennessee, and you're right, it does look absolutely gorgeous there.
Speaking of bears, we have them in my area as well, and I was always told to sing when I was out hiking. 😂Bears would prefer not run into us either, so if they can hear us coming, it's generally possible to avoid any trouble. If you're hiking with other people, which is safer anyway, talking rather loudly would probably work as well.
Another wonderful video for us to enjoy. I live in western North Carolina so I’ve been to the great smoky mountains national park many times. Really enjoyed listening to you talk about this beautiful area. Great job ❤
New video from Melange and an appearance by Mishka = happy day 😊
@Melange To hear you talk about Tennessee and to even say “Chattanooga”/“Kingsport”/ “Johnson City”/“Bristol” correctly made my heart happy, although I’m surprised Dollywood wasn’t mentioned lol. I grew up here in East Tennessee (Specifically Greeneville, Tennessee) since I was 9 and I live in Chattanooga now. Thank you for this!
Btw I sent you an email!
Love this! Greetings from Memphis, TN!
Your attention to detail is most impressive, especially to other countries. More mind melting material.
I travel through Johnson City, Kingsport and Bristol every month for work. So cool to hear them mentioned on your channel. Very relaxing. Thank you for what you do.
Omg I live here! In WNC, I can drive for 20 min and be on the Blue Ridge Parkway or 40 min up the mountains and be in TN. It’s a phenomenal place to live (but very socially conservative, even by conservative standards), and I can’t believe one of my fave YT creators is talking about our little slice of the world! I teach world history and often reference things I learned in your videos so it’s very neat to see this :)
Hey, my neck of the woods. Hello from Northwest Georgia! I've been up into the Smokies and farther up the Appalachians a number of times. There are some beautiful landscapes there!
So excited to watch this! I remember seeing this as one of the amazing packages ppl sent you near the holidays. Thank you so much (Mishka too 😻) for the video, can't wait 🙏💆🧘🛌🏼
I’m always so excited for new videos from you. I was thrilled to see an American topic as it’s familiar to me, and I love the national parks. And it was a nice cameo from Mishka! Thank you for your excellent work and relaxing videos!
I absolutely love these soft spoken videos.
Thank you!! Love to hear that 💛
I have run into bears while on horseback many times in the Smokey’s! They are honestly so used to it, they typically don’t even notice each other
And you said “Appalachian” correctly, like those of us local to western NC/east TN pronounce it. If someone says “App-uh-LAY-shun” it’s a dead giveaway they aren’t from here. Check out the Eastern Band Cherokee sometime, their reservation and Boundary abuts the Great Smoky Mountains Nat’l Park just south of Gatlinburg and Knoxville. It’s a fantastic place if you find the mountains gorgeous
Isn’t that the truth on the pronunciation of “Appalachian”? Born-and-raised Eastern Kentuckian all my life, and the mispronunciation of Appalachian always bugged me.
I saw the link between mountains on the American continent, Scotland and Norway in another video as well. It also mentioned a fault line in Scotland (the on which the Lochs like Loch Ness can be found) continuing in these other places as well.
Love this! I live in middle TN and it is a BEAUTIFUL State.
What I've seen of it really looks gorgeous!
Yay! I am from Tennessee too! That’s a beautiful part of the world!
-- Hello Melange! It’s wonderful to see a new video from you. Your voice and your subject matter is always so mesmerizing. 😊❤️
Hey you, thank you! It's always a joy to see your comments 💙💙
I would never feel scared I’d get lost with you… no matter where in the world we were!
I just about know my left and right 😅 but I feel like I’m learning so much with your videos on map reading! So thank you for that
What a great video! I have visited the Great Smokies National Park. It is stunningly beautiful. Cades Cove is spectacular. On my tour of Cades Cove, I saw many deer heard and saw a mother bear with two cubs. You must put a visit there on your bucket list.
I love how coming across bears seems to be almost normal there. We've only had a few bears come back somewhat recently in Austria and it feels like it's constantly an issue - and if not bears, it's wolves.
I'm sure I would love it there, it looks so gorgeous!
Love it, thank you! 💕
I love these map videos so much ❤️ You are better than any sleeping pill
I grew up in that area and always planned on moving away, but after traveling the world for a while, I found that I missed its peaceful beauty and came back. If you ever travel to the States, this area is a lovely place to visit.
These hills and mountains have a pull that always draws you back home. So proud to be from here
I have also read in some places that the Appalachian Mountains used to be connected to the Atlas Mountains in Morocco which I think is super cool
Tennessee was my favorite place to visit as a child ♥️
Magnificent, as always.
Thank you, Ms 🙏
Very nice video! I've been to the AL portion of that mountain range. Beautiful! 👍
Ahh you said Appalachian correctly ❤ Most Americans can’t even do that 😂
Tennessee is a state I’ve always wanted to visit because of the music history.
Ahaha I'm glad I've passed that test!
Absolutely! And the area just looks stunning.
Not to be "That guy" but it's both Appa-lay-chin and Appa-latch-in. It's just dialect.
@@Hailiums But you decided to be anyway. It’s okay to not be that guy, y’know? Especially since the native village after which the range is named is a ch and not a sh. Sh is just not accurate if we’re trying to actually respect the heritage, especially indigenous heritage.
@@parryyotter I did decide, but it wasn't out of malice. It's just the truth, and people often don't like being corrected when not asking for it. However, seeing as this is a public forum, there is no harm.
And while the original pronunciation may have had a -ch sound. The -sh is perfectly acceptable, especially considering U.S. citizens hardly care for the respect of indigenous peoples and their heritage.
The Natchez Trace Parkway is a beautifully scenic highway which is very ideal for motorcycle travel. One city I enjoyed was Ashville.
As a Tennessean, I can't wait to see it.
I hope you'll like it. I really enjoyed learning about your state!
I absolutely Love Wednesdays because I know You will post a video . Yet another soothing relaxing spell binding tingle fest and Thank You so much for your videos Melange. By the way I live in northern West Virginia part of the Appalachia Region as well
As an Appalachian, THANK GOD u pronounced it correctly!!! 🎉
Simply magical and beautiful, thank you.
Thank you!
Most relaxing bear attack advice ever at 29:00 !
Yay more Melange!
🥰
Pleasantly surprised. Did not expect to see you ever cover where I'm from in one of your videos 🙂
Edit- Also maps don't do the nature here justice.
Just an example as an angler- Out east in the mountains we have native brook trout streams and the southernmost native muskellunge (like pike on steroids) population on earth, then you can follow the water all the way to alligator gar (and now ACTUAL alligators) in Memphis by the Mississippi River.
Fantastic! Love to see some maps of the USA!!
Just wanted to say I love your videos. You’re one of my new favorite ASMRtists! ❤. I also love your name, as it reminds me of Dune. ☀️
Hey you, thank you so much!
I have to admit, the first couple of times people commented with something Dune-related, I was so confused. I picked the name because it's something from Viennese culture and back then, the Dune remake hadn't come out yet and somehow I had completely forgotten everything except Sting from the first movie haha.
My Tennessee mountain home!!! I'm from Kingsport, went to university in Knoxville and graduate school in Jonhson City :) It's beautiful!
Really happy you covered my state. My year is made
What a thrill to see my ancestors' homeland on your channel! Bryson City NC was named for a relative. 😊 Most of the lakes were formed by dam projects of the Tennessee Valley Authority (FDR's New Deal program). Some still have abandoned towns under the water!
Oh wow, I missed the part about the abandoned towns under water, that sounds fascinating!
Upstate South Carolina here! Love this!
hello from Tennessee!! ❤ your videos
Great Video as always. The maps of Yellowstone I tried to send you back in September got returned to me this past week due to a customs snag. I have tried sending it again using a different customs declaration.
Oh no, that's a shame! I was wondering what had happened to it. All fingers crossed it works out this time 🤞
Ich freu mich schon auf die deutsche Version 🤗
Thank you for invigorating the dying art of maps in this age of google.
I second that sentiment!
Thank you so much! Tennessee has certainly changed a lot in 20 years! I travel there often as that is where my mom lives. I have an ASMR video that I filmed in East Tennessee with beautiful scenery and affirmations if you want to see how truly spectacular it is! I even have footage of the Cherokee Reservation! Aloha!
It's so crazy the differences between the eastern and western band of Cherokee. Warren Milteer has a great book that touches on some of the nuances, granted the book itself deals with historical race laws and slavery.
Also another book under a different author "That the Blood Stay Pure" is a great book on the nuances of this. It deals more with the nuances of one drop laws but it's great at showing how the American Indian Act and slave laws impacted the natives and people of color in the US
Thank you for the suggestion, that sounds like an interesting read!
🙏
Best spicy chicken on the planet, cant disagree.
I love novels set in this area. One day I would love to visit but for now novels will need to transport me there. Does anybody have any recommendations of books set in the Appalachians, or other more rural locations in the southern states.
Wiley Cash has a few books set in Western NC
Mew🥰😍
I've never heard them called the great smokies
Maybe it's a regional or an older thing?
:)
I love these videos but a whole video on Tennessee did surprise me 😅
be careful going in the remote areas away from cops… 😉
first
Who else is here because of Jim Cornette?
How did u come up with this name for a cat? ;)
I asked a friend for suggestions and thought Mishka sounded really cute.
@@MelangeASMR , do you know the meaning? ;)
@@boratsagdiyev1224 I understand it depends on the language, but to me she's a ferocious little bear, of course.
@@MelangeASMR I would be surprised if this word is used in any other language besides Russian (except for brand names or personal names). But it is a cute name indeed, associated with a childhood teddy rather than a ferrocious animal ;)
@@MelangeASMR I fell in love with your conent btw! Thank you for your videos! You also sound like a lovely person! 😊
