Starting the new year off with some travel inspiration in the form of a Charleston guide. I was so amazed by the charm of this beautiful city (seriously, I wanted to buy every single house I saw). It makes for the perfect weekend trip from most cities in the US and you definitely don't want to miss out on experiencing true southern charm for the first time. We stayed at the incredible Zero George while we were there, and you can find a detailed post on that here.

What are some of your travel bucket list plans for this year?
