✨ Charleston: A Journey Back to Colonial America

🎄 Christmas Escapade: Charleston, South Carolina This charming city, home to over 100 churches, feels like a time capsule of colonial-era architecture. 🌿 Slow Travel, Southern Style ☀️ Spent days lazily wandering under the winter sun, admiring oak-shaded plantation homes, and exploring the downtown Christmas market. Pure bliss! 🏛️ Historic Gems ⛪ A "museum of churches": Methodist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Huguenot, and the stunning St. John the Baptist Cathedral. 🎓 Fun fact: The Citadel (Francis Underwood’s alma mater in House of Cards) is just outside town! ⚔️ Fort Sumter: Where History Began 🚢 Took a ferry to the Civil War’s ground zero even spotted dolphins (too common here to photograph, lol). 💡 Pro Tips 🏡 Stay: Book an Airbnb in the historic district for immersive strolls. ⚠️ Note: Not ideal for those who only crave Asian food—Southern cuisine reigns here! #ExpatLife #Charleston #TimeTravel #SouthernLiving #Wanderlust
