South Carolina has become a top destination for travelers. With a rich history, unique architecture, tons of wildlife, picturesque scenery in every direction and carefully preserved culture and traditions, it is no wonder why visitors would be enamored by her.

As a native of South Carolina, one thing I take great pride in is how welcoming and friendly the locals are with visitors. We enjoy sitting outside on a gorgeous day, connecting with new friends over amazing cuisine, cool beverages and great music.

While I may be a bit biased, there’s definitely something very special about The Palmetto State.
