a travel and style blog
In conjunction with my goal to get back in the air every month, I’m also making the time to explore my home region more deeply this year (there are four weekends in a month, after all!). A late spring opportunity to explore Winston-Salem simply couldn’t be missed—and because it’s so close to Charlotte, I recently …
