The Magic of Charleston

I spent a weekend in Charleston, South Carolina, during which time I went on a history tour with Charleston Old Walled City Tours, ate the region’s famous shrimp & grits, learnt about their haunted graveyards, enjoyed their world-famous architecture + overlooked their stunning ocean. Here’s a 1-minute video Skybok produced on this gorgeous town!
A Dollar For Your Thoughts At The Griffon Pub
Pic taken at The Griffon Pub in Charleston, South Carolina! Voted by Southern Living Magazine as one of the “Best Bars of the South”, The Griffon Pub has collected over 20 years of dollar bills with scribbled handwritten messages from sentimental travelers on its walls + ceiling. This is my first post on Charleston – more pictures + exclusive video from this fascinating town coming this month.
Quick recap:
+ Did a walking tour with this tour company
+ Stayed at this hotel
+ Had my favorite meal at this restaurant
+ Discovered bone marrow at this bar
+ Recommend you visit this venue if you go!
Maple Trees in Aspen
Tree identification in Colorado can be difficult. I use this website to identify what i’m seeing.
Aren’t they pretty!?
Psychics + Silver in Colorado
I’m in Aspen, Colorado. The shops in Aspen are gorgeous, I love walking around taking photos of all the high-end stuff. They are so great to check out when no one else is around. When I travel, I like to get up as early as possible and catch the best light around town. It’s amazing to see the history of some of these buildings. They are still standing from the 1800s. They are so attractive!
Mussels in the Mountains
There’s something very unusual about having mussels at 8,000 ft above sea level. And it was precisely this oddity which made the dish all the more appealing to me!
Elk at The Ritz in Aspen Highlands
Charcuterie + Artisan Cheese Board at 8,000 ft
Wok charred spicy edamame, shishito peppers, garlic + sesame with a charcuterie + artisan cheeseboard at “The Living Room” in Hotel Jerome, Aspen. The room is warm + toasty (excuse the pun), it lends itself well to warming you up after chilly adventure in the mountains! As it happened, we had just returned from visiting The Continental Divide, and I couldn’t get over the mystical feeling I had from the sights of the snowy mountains. What a thrill sipping red wine and nibbling from this cheeseboard in a magnificent lounge at 8,000 ft elevation!
