Responsible Travel Guide // A Trip to Mt Pleasant, South Carolina

Last weekend my family and I took a trip to visit an old friend of mine in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. This trip looked a lot different than the road trips we were taking this time last year, because this year, we are navigating COVID-19. I’m aware this is controversial, but here’s the thing. We have to figure out how to continue to live our lives in a safer way. There are safe ways to continue fun things in life, but no matter what those activities are… they have to be done safely and THERE ARE WAYS to do that.

My White Privilege

This is my skin. It’s how I was made. It’s covered in veins, dimply, freckly, stretch marks, super soft, and worthy of respect. It’s taken me a long time to accept that last part.⁣
