Michel, you have inspired me to do solo trips. After ending a 30 year marriage, I was nervous to go on trips by myself. So, I have learned to channel my “inner Michel” and get out there and explore. Life is too short not to travel and learn new things!

[lherz]

Love your solo trips and also your consistent posting on Youtube! Keep up the great work, it is not unnoticed ♥

[lindsayschmitt]

I used to live in Charleston and I loved it. I truly miss living there, and my husband and I would like to retire there at some point. It's like a huge treasure hunt...just when you think you've discovered everything to find there, you learn there's more to see. I'm glad you enjoyed your visit!

[wiizpyn]

What kind of research do you do when planning for your trips? How do you decide where to go and what to do? I feel like you and Jordy would love going back to Charleston together sometime. You could even do a private sailboat tour there.

[Samantha-cmts]

i adore your solo trip vlogs, so informative. Michel, you should do a travel vlog series for a TV channel, you're so good at it, love your content so so much!! 💚

[christyp]

Michel you should do some short walking tours that will talk a little about the history of the city/culture and you might meet some other travelers, it’s always more fun when you meet others. Museums are also fun. I used to to take solo trips before getting married and have great memories.

[chatswithkass]

Michel! Can you do a whole video talking about planning solo trips/ advice on traveling solo?! I’d love that! 😍

[EP-hmue]

Love your solo trip blogs.
I’m considering taking one but don’t know where to start. Have you thought of doing a video dedicated to the ins and outs of solo traveling? Like what sites you use, hotels, do you use a travel agent etc…
Thank you!

Watching now so I'm not finished so you may get to this but the baskets they were referencing were sweet grass baskets. They're an incredibly beautiful art form that's common here. I highly recommend reading about the Gullah geechie culture in Charleston and surrounding areas! 😊

[Yarlirae]

Michel!!! I enjoyed this video so much because I love Quince and Charleston and now I have to plan a trip!!!

[lose]

That match book art print is fabulous. I collect match books when I travel but they're hard to find. This was a fun vlog. I love your solo trips. Great footage.

[amycamper]

I was so excited to see Charleston on your list of places to travel!!! My husband and I go there often for work. I sure wish I could've seen you there💜 You just didn't have enough time to explore. We are still finding new places and seeing things we have never seen before when going there. I hope you enjoyed it💜💜

Watching this video brings a smile to my face. I’ve been to Charleston almost two years ago and it was one of the best trips of my life. Also enjoyed your Quince haul. I actually bought the same cashmere sweater cardigan, but in their cropped version a few weeks ago before watching your video. 😅❤

[jesusisthelordofall]

I love that you go and travel solo! Also, your personality is super sweet and relatable. ❤

[shelbinese]

No way!!!! You were in Charleston!?!? I grew up here 🤍Girl!!!! I would love to meet you! I’ve loved following your journey for years🤍🤍🤍 I hope you had the best time!

[saratemp]

For travel videos, you need a few more wide street shots.

I lived in Charleston when I was in my 20s (before my celiac diagnosis) and loved it so much! Good to see there are so many gluten-free options now if I ever go back to visit!

[delaneyshaff]

Just wanted to pop in and say my wife and I have been watching you for such a long time and we absolutely LOVE your videos and watching your journey. We're so happy to finally see you happy, you deserve absolutely nothing less. My name's Delaney so when you said it, it kind of made me feel prompted to comment lol. Grateful to have the privilege to continue to watch your growth. <3

[weepingwillow]

This absolutely wigged me out, I grew up in the old village and mt pleasant area. 😂 crazy to see you bopping around there! Hope you enjoyed it!!
