Hello loves! I'm back to share my fun and memorable trip in North Carolina last December. If I remember it right, the last time I came here was 2011. I was eighteen at that time and back then was different I was just a tourist visiting. I didn't really have a lot of things in mind or know anything about the state. I live in the United States for three years already and left everything in my country. Being far away from my family and relatives was really hard so I made sure to spend the holidays with my relatives.
One of the things I love about North Carolina is it's not a very populated state compared to California and Nevada. I wouldn't say there's no traffic nor sketchy neighborhoods. In my opinion, for a big and developed city (compared to where I live) it's a great place to live and raise kids. If given a chance to relocate in North Carolina I would go right away.
Our first local trip in North Carolina was Southport. I was very excited to finally visit the site location from the movie Safe Haven. One of my favorite novels by Nicholas Sparks and probably one of my favorite movies too just because Josh Duhamel and Julianne Hough looks great as a couple!
Southport is only four hours drive from Huntersville. I suggest to visit the area if you're only a couple of hours away. Also good thing was there weren't a lot of tourists that day so we were able to take decent shots and really took our time. Though most of the restaurants and shops were closed so we didn't have a lot to do besides walking and taking pictures. I also noticed that they tore down the shop along the waterfront in Southport and there's no bus stop at all. How funny! I guess they just made it for the movie. We didn't really have the whole day to explore Southport. I wasn't able to see Katie's cabin which was sad cos I really love her cabin in the movie but overall I'm still thankful that I got to see some of its scene location from the movie. Thank you auntie! ;-)
If you guys have any suggestions to do and dine in at Southport. Please share them below! Thank you!
I will also share our trip in World Disney very soon! And when I finally get my new computer I will start editing the video and upload it on my channel. So tune in for that. It might take a little longer though. But please bare with me. Thank you!
Here are some of my favorite shots from our trip in Southport.
