The Best of Seeing Southern
As we began our careers as travel journalists and travel photographers, we quickly learned that some experiences would eclipse others. Be it personal tastes or interests, some destinations had us returning to moments and meetings long after we had returned home. Turns out, our favorites became our readers’ favorites as well. All destinations and experiences had the same thing in common: personal connection. As content writers, we do offer you places to visit, experiences to share, but in order to draw the most interest from our coverage, it had to be personal.
We will always make it personal, allowing ourselves to part of the story, yet leaving enough space to find yourselves in there as well. Here’s some of our favorite stories.
Enjoy!
