The Ultimate Guide to Charleston, SC

Charleston is one of my favorite places in the U.S., and I visit every month—once you experience it, you’ll see why! The city’s charm is undeniable, with its cobblestone streets, stunning old buildings, and, let’s be honest, one of the best food scenes in the country. Whether you're strolling The Battery or exploring the shops and restaurants on King Street, there's something for everyone.

Beyond the picture-perfect streets and amazing eats, Charleston offers unique experiences—hunt for shark teeth, go crabbing, or take a haunted tour through the historic district. But of course, the food cannot be missed! From cute coffee shops and my favorite bakery, to off-the-beaten-path gems and high-end dining experiences, I’ll guide you to the best throughout the city and surrounding area.

Whether you're looking for a laid-back getaway or a trip packed with adventure, Charleston has it all. Start planning now, and get ready to fall in love with this incredible city!

Hi, I’m Andrew!

I grew up in New England, but I've lived and traveled all over the world—places like NYC, Boston, Paris, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Hong Kong, and so many more.

I’ve always loved food and dreamed of becoming a chef. My very first job was making bread at a bakery in Paris, and eventually, I ended up working with a world-famous restaurant group that had multiple Michelin-starred spots. I was part of their research and development team, helping to create the menu for new restaurant concepts and update menus for their existing restaurants, which was an amazing experience. Over time though, I realized what I truly loved about cooking and decided to keep it as a passion rather than my long-term career.

That’s when I put my business degree to use and pivoted into a digital career that took me all over the world—places like China, Malaysia, India, Vietnam, and Turkey. Since I was constantly traveling and had a background in food, people were always asking me where to eat when they visited different cities. Before I knew it, I became the go-to person for travel and dining recommendations, and that's how my journey as a content creator began.

Now, I’m turning my love of travel into helpful guides just for you! Whether you’re looking for the best restaurants, tourist spots that are actually worth it, or hidden gems you might not find on your own, I’ve got you covered. Use them to plan your perfect trip - or if planning isn’t your thing, I have a variety of premade itineraries you could follow. If you want something totally unique, and custom to your budget and interest, I can help plan that for you too via a consultation.

Let’s explore the world together—one amazing experience at a time!
