doin’ the charleston 

Charleston, South Carolina holds the prestige as the oldest and second largest city in South Carolina, and has been voted the best small city five years in a row.  With its gorgeous historic district, waterfront location and fabulous food, drink, shopping and entertainment, it’s not hard to tell why!  They’re also super modest about themselves…Our adventure in Chucktown (btw, I hate that nickname and will … Continue reading doin’ the charleston 

tennessee travels: north meets south

Not to brag or anything, but my friends are pretty hilarious.  We’ve known each other since high school and had some pretty wild rides.  We enjoy adventure and new experiences, and generally have a jaded, sarcastic take on people, places and things.  When the opportunity arose for us to stay at a free room in Gatlinburg, Tennessee in exchange for a two hour timeshare tour … Continue reading tennessee travels: north meets south

gotta cache em all

This blog post requires a little bit of background on my friend Jordan.  We met in college and have maintained a friendship fueled by the weird and unusual over the course of eight years.  In 2011 we tried saving up enough money to attend a 2012 Seminar Camp, aka Drink-the-Kool-Aid-Because-the-World’s-About-To-End Camp.  (Note: We didn’t make it to the seminar, probably because we spent the savings … Continue reading gotta cache em all
