Why I Started Southerner Says
Travel is more than just a hobby for me – it’s my passion. It’s how I connect with the world, the people in the world and even myself. Every road driven, every place visited and every sunset seen is part of my journey. And Southerner Says is where it comes together.

This isn’t a website about checking boxes or getting perfect Instagram shots. It’s about real travel – from dirt roads and less-traveled places to weekend road trips and epic cross-country adventures. It’s about seeing the places you want to see and doing it your own way – not because someone told you to.

I started Southerner Says as a way to share the places I found while traveling. But I also want to share what I’ve learned from traveling – the good, the mistakes and the lessons that come from being on the road, in the air and occasionally in the passenger seat, so that you can plan better, be well traveled and experience more.
