The Traveling Drifter Newsletter

Hello Fellow Drifters! I hope that this email finds you happy and healthy!

First, I want to say hello to all the new subscribers! Welcome to The Traveling Drifter Newsletter. I hope you enjoy my posts, especially those about the amazing city of Charleston.

What Is New

We just had a true winter season in Charleston this last month! For the first time in years, since January 2018, we had snow! It was such a sight to see! I truly enjoyed walking around the streets and just seeing snow covering everything!

If you have any amazing photos from the snowstorm, please send them to me. I would love to see them!

Now that the snow is completely gone, Charleston is starting to warm up and spring is just around the corner. This is the last month until Charleston is in full swing of tourist season. Now is a perfect time to start putting together your list of what you would like to do when visiting.

I have a couple of posts to help you discover the most out of Charleston. And if you love to travel with your four-legged best friend, I have just what you need to get the most out of your trip.

Also, something new that you will see in The Traveling Drifter Newsletter is a new section - Charleston Location Of The Month. Every month I am going to spotlight a certain location in Charleston that I believe you should add to your list.

Charleston Location Of The Month

The Battery

The Battery in Charleston, South Carolina, is a historic seawall and promenade known for its stunning waterfront views and grand antebellum mansions.

Located at the southern tip of the Charleston Peninsula, it overlooks the convergence of the Ashley and Cooper Rivers, leading into Charleston Harbor. The area is lined with oak trees and historic cannons, remnants of its role in the city’s coastal defense during the Civil War.

Adjacent to The Battery is White Point Garden, a scenic park with statues, military monuments, and shaded walking paths. This iconic destination attracts visitors for strolls, photography, and a glimpse into Charleston’s rich past.
