I grew up in South Carolina and I’ve been eating fresh peaches, boiled peanuts, cheese grits and right-from-the-garden vegetables all my life. Now, let me tell you about all that and everything else there is to enjoy when you come to South Carolina.

South Carolina is the perfect place for me. It has mountains and beaches, fast rapids and still rivers, hiking, biking and everything in between. I’m constantly planning my next adventure, so come along with me as we discover South Carolina’s outdoor thrills.

I've played golf most of my life without ever getting very good at it, - funny how that works. Fortunately, a 35-year career in golf writing has taken me to many of the best places to play. Join me as we discover, and rediscover, S.C.'s most interesting courses.

As a South Carolina native, I have been driving the backroads of the Palmetto State my whole life. I have written about S.C. people and places for The State newspaper, The Associated Press and my recently released travel book. Come with me as I explore some more.

For me, writing is one of those things that I just have to do. South Carolina is full of stories that seem to spring up from its soil, and the history is infused into a progressive arts culture that is like no other. Join me and discover why visitors are always returning to experience our cultural richness.

My mom told me when I was pregnant for the first time that the best part of having kids is getting to discover the world all over again through their eyes. Traveling with children can make even everyday things wondrous and exciting (if logistically more challenging!) My family and I moved to South Carolina last year, and we are discovering everything this beautiful and phenomenally friendly state has to offer. Join us on our next big adventure!
