Just got back from a road trip I've been dreaming about for ages. Always wanted to explore North and South Carolina, and finally made it happen. Honestly, it was even better than I imagined. Spent some time hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains, which was absolutely stunning, and then chilled out at Myrtle Beach. Ate way too much barbecue (but zero regrets lol) and met some really cool locals who gave me tips on hidden spots to check out.
It's funny how you build something up in your head, you know, and then when you actually do it, it's either disappointing or amazing—this time, thankfully, it was amazing. Feels pretty great to cross something off my bucket list that's been sitting there forever.
Curious if anyone else has recently ticked off a long-time bucket list item or finally visited a place you've always dreamed about? Would love to hear your stories.
