Welcome to Seeing Southern. Thanks for joining us on this amazing ride to reveal breathtaking destinations and inspiring people . . . and at the end of the journey, we hope to uncover a little about ourselves, too.
As freelance journalists, we’re excited to share all the treasures we find along the way — people, cultures, lodging, tours, experiences, excursions, food, and spirits. The world is wide open, 🌎 and we’re going to take you there.
