D. Lanier 

D. Lanier Shook lives in Upstate South Carolina, which is right in between the most amazing travel destinations. He was homeschooled without tv, but finds himself making up for that too often. For ten years D. Lanier has written travel articles, sharing the special places in the area so other folks can enjoy them, too. When he's not on the road visiting Asheville, Charleston, or Charlotte you can find him overthinking pop-culture and painting watercolors. Favorite Place: Probably Charleston, South Carolina because of the history and culture that is literally everywhere you turn
