I’m the writer behind this site that’s all about exploring upstate South Carolina and western North Carolina.
Originally from Ohio, I bounced around the Midwest a bit before moving to the region in 2017 with my husband and two fur babies.
But I arrived with a major regret.
Despite spending the last four years in Milwaukee, there was so much I still hadn’t seen or experienced. Never took that weekend trip to Door County. Never went to The Domes. Never even strolled the halls of the iconic art museum.
Not knowing how long we would call South Carolina home, I promised myself I wasn’t going to make the same mistake and take my time here for granted. I wanted to see and do everything the Western Carolinas offered.
Five years later and I’m still ticking things off my bucket list. And as a freelance writer by day, I figured I should put my content creation skills to use and share my journey along the way. Not to mention the extra accountability it gives me to continue getting out of the house and exploring.
My goal with this blog is to be a source of inspiration for discovering this region. Whether you’re a tourist on vacation or a lifelong native looking for something new to do, I hope what I share here will help you wander the Western Carolinas.
