CHARLESTON, South Carolina: First impressions (vlog 1)

- Charleston, South Carolina is one of the most charming historical cities in the United States. Among the many things to do here, you can go for a stroll in the historic center. In this vlog, we cover part of that (the next part is coming up in the next vlog). Come along as you learn more about Charleston in general, the history here, the attractions you can visit inside, and also the food. We tried 2 specialties: shrimp and grits, and coconut cake.
Charleston was once the richest city in the US, and it was among the largest as well. Today it lives and breathes history. It's located on the east coast of the USA, and it was settled by British explorers in 1670. The best thing is that you can walk everywhere in the historic district.

► WHO AM I?
I am a Brazilian-American journalist living in Florida. After traveling the world working with sports, news, and events for over 15 years, I realized that what I really love is the travel part of it all. So I exchanged life in the newsrooms and stadiums for the daily challenge of being an independent content producer. I created this channel to share the beauties of the world... stuff that for so long I only kept to myself. Also to help people planning similar trips and to inspire more people to venture out and enjoy life!
P.S.: The funny guy who appears in the vlogs is my husband, Gordon. He is Canadian-American and he's actually camera-shy, that's why he's behind the camera most of the time 😉

Hello everyone! New city today! What did you think about Charleston! 😍 Watch this road trip in the USA from the beginning: czcams.com/video/MJV1OCb2-4g/video.html
_always beautiful video & saya ingin ke south caroline tapi disana saya bisa dapat tour guide nya? suatu saat akan kesana bersama clients group tour dari indonesia_
Good morning from Indonesia,..i love u Renata...
Renata: You guys are now in Charleston, South Carolina for the past three or four weeks now in May of 2021!
Terima Kasih
Iam love
I had no idea this was the largest historic district in the US?!? That's amazing! I love how much information you provide in your videos!! Thanks!!!
You are most welcome. Thanks for watching
@@RenataPereiraTV Hi, Great video but this is incorrect. Savannah ,GA has the largest Historic District in the US.
Born and raised here. Its refreshing to see a different point of view.
Thank you for watching
I am vistiting Charleston in Feb. 2023. In all the videos I have seen, this is by far the best. So informational! Thank you for taking the time to put this together!
You are so welcome! Enjoy your visit!
This lady is so charming, energetic, informative, witty and just so much fun to watch. I say this with the utmost respect. Her videos on Charleston were great! I learned a lot and with such a fun presentation!
Wow, thank you!!!!
I literally lived here my whole life and hardly go downtown, because traffic & parking, but it is beautiful!
Yes, parking is expensive and a pain. But what beauty you have. Thanks for watching.👍😀
It’s nice there I live in South Carolina
I plan on walking when I visit. It doesn't seem like a vehicle is that necessary.
Same here Selena! I live in Summerville and in the 6 years I've lived here I think we've gone downtown maybe a handful of times because of the reasons you mentioned.
Questions when is it good to go downtown weekend or week day?
What a beautiful way of seeing the world. I love following your channel, Renata and Gordon, and going on these journeys with you. Really appreciate all the effort you put into your videos.
Thank you so much!
Love seeing y'all enjoying Charleston. I've visited Charleston almost every year for the past 30 years! It's one of my favorite places.
That is awesome! I know we want to return👍😍
Charleston felt so European and charming. It really is an architects dream.
Great description. 👍😀👍
I am going to Charleston in a few weeks and am happy to have an idea of the historic district. Thank you.
Cool, enjoy. Keep watching as we have 2 more Charleston videos coming up
I am about to spend 5 days near Charleston, and because of you and Gordon and these great vlogs, I feel so informed and inspired!! Your videos are so pleasant and fun, and so very informational.
Thank you for taking us there and having wonderful smiles along the way!!
So cool. Enjoy your visit and don't miss the great dining.👍😀
You guys are great ! Loved the video. Definitely the best of all I've seen on Charleston.
Wow, thank you!
Moved to Charleston from Pittsburgh, PA ten years ago and absolutely love everything about it except the parking! You have an excellent channel- glad I found it!
Very cool! It feels like such a great city...not too small and not too big. And what food. Thank you for watching. Drop us a hint if there is something we missed in Charleston that you think should be featured
Hi David,
Would you recommend moving to Charleston to anyone?
I moved to charleston from Pittsburgh PA in 2005 how funny. Love it here.
@@bridgetteapolionia4759 Thats funny - what part of Pittsburgh? Im from Irwin / North Huntingdon.
@@RenataPereiraTV Yes - A little place called Shem Creek and Sullivans Island is a nice quiet beach.
Renata:Thanks you so much for this remarkable video about Charleston, South Carolina to shows these beautiful places on the Streets 2021!

That is one of the most charming cities in the US. I hope to go back any time soon, my last trip to Charleston was 10 years ago. Thank you for sharing Renata 😊.
Couldn't agree more! You are most welcome👍😀
I love Charleston, I visited the city back in summer of 2013, the whole city was filled with this amazing jasmine smell. This vlog brings back a lot of memories, I also went to many places like you did. Thanks Renata, greetings from Bali, Indonesia.
Wow, seems many people have visited. I hope Bali can open soon. Stay safe and thanks for watching👍😀

You are so welcome! Enjoy your visit and eat well....fabulous food there. I have 2 other Charleston videos to help with your planning.
You and Gordon do such great work. I love your channel!
Thanks so much!👍😍
One could take Charleston and plonk it down in almost any place in Europe and it would not look out of place. People say the US has no history and old buildings, they were looking in the wrong places.
Yes, you are correct on both counts. Thanks for watching and more history coming up
Yup! I said the first time I visited. It reminded me of a low key Nice!
Never thought about visiting Charlestown until now! Thanks Renata!
You are so welcome! Long history, preserved buildings and great food. Do check it out.👍😀

Hi Renata. I hope you see this comment. I recently came across your videos of my hometown, Charleston.

Great tour there. We love SC. Our foster parent moved from MN to Rock Hill for their retirement. Enjoy your travel. Cheers from the Twin Cities!
Very cool! That is such a great area. We are looking to add it to our catalogue.
I live 20 miles from downtown Charleston I've been several times and I love it I used to deliver bread down there as a route driver, I've been on a lot of walking tours including the old city jail.. I could almost be a tour guide myself LOL
Haha...great city you have to live in.👍

How's d virus situation in USA. For Malaysia, it's worse than last year.
Our pleasure!

@@RenataPereiraTV 🇲🇾

Completely agree! You did a wonderful job of capturing the beauty of our city with so much enthusiasm!
@@christinastone5559 I really appreciate it! Thanks a lot! Just released a new video in Charleston, hope I won't disappoint
Aloha from Honolulu! I absolutely LOVE your videos, Renata and Gordon! You are a wealth of information, and I always learn so much from watching you! My boyfriend and I are visiting Charleston in about 3 weeks and I have taken notes from this video, especially that awesome 12 layer coconut cake and those grits!! Next stop for us after Charleston is the Hamptons, and I will check to see if you have made any videos of the Hamptons as well. Mahalo, Renata & Gordon!
Aloha Susan. First, enjoy your visit...it is a great city...you should have fantastic weather this time of year. No Hampton videos...but its on the list now.
@@RenataPereiraTV Thank you for your reply! Question: did I hear you correctly that guests are only allowed one hour on Fort Sumpter or was that only because of Covid? I can't wait to see your Hampton video although I wish it was out now for our trip in 3 weeks! LOL!😘
Hello Renata!!! How are y’all doing? I am watching the video right now 😊😊😊🌷🌷😘😘😘😘!!
Good morning! Thank you!!!!! 👍😀
Plenty to see and do in Charleston
Very much so...and great food to keep you energized. Thanks for watching
Thank you for bring my eyes again,😊😊
You are most welcome
because of your vlog video I can know the good places in other countries, it's not in vain I subscribe
I want to see the video but I don't know where to send it
Thank you
I drive Uber and sometimes Lyft in the Charleston area. I was born and raised in the Charleston area (more specifically in North Charleston) and as all area kids growing up here had a plethora of field trips in the downtown area and tours. I try to give as much information that I've retained over my years. Very good video and cinematography to show some of the most beautiful locations downtown.
Thank you very much keith boylan. You have a special city with rich culture. We will be back to explore more.👍😍
Nice the video Renata I like it !!
Thank you! 😃
Linda ciudad!
Si!
As a resident, Charleston has such a beautiful history. I definitely recommend newcomers to take a tour they will love it🙌🏽 (also Mount Pleasant is good to check out too)
Thanks for sharing. Your tips for Mount Pleasant?.
@@RenataPereiraTV Mount Pleasant is good for its beaches and coastlines. Mount Pleasant is also known for its fancy restaurants! So if you love to eat, Mount Pleasant is the right place to go👌🏽
@@tyrellefrazier16 Wow, that’s great to know, thanks! We already left Charleston but will hopefully do this road trip again in the future
Thank you so much 💜
You are so welcome👍😍
Loved this video. We just moved to Charleston a couple months ago and although it’s absolutely gorgeous, we rarely go downtown bc of the traffic and parking. Good tips though for when we do want to go explore and take our friends and family when they come to visit.
So cool! We do have 2 other videos about Charleston area. Enjoy your new city
Oh yes I’ve been watching them. You are good at explaining the history too :) thank you. Hope y’all come back and visit :)
@@SmokyMTNguy_ Thank you so much! Yeah, I’d love to go back for more 😊
Oi Renata acabei de ver o seu video no CZcams sobre Charleston acabamos de chegar da California para vir morar aqui ,e ja havia pesquisado muita coisa ,antes de decidirmos vir ,mais o seu video foi muito bom e completou ainda mais meus conhecimentos . Estamos amando. Grata!
Muito obrigada, Mark! 🙏❤️😊 Fico feliz 😀😀
I hope you get a chance to try Page's Okra Grille. They have the most southern food and especially the AMAZING peanut butter pie in the whole world!!
Thank you for the suggestions. We ate other places but we have a reason to return.
Renata: You guys still in South Carolina for the past three or four weeks now. I hope you guys are really having great times in May of 2021!
Thank you. We have moved on and are having fun in Florida now. Thanks for watching
Renata: Charleston is just a remarkable capital city of South Carolina in 2022!
Great video!
Thank you very much!
There is a similar Pink House in Savanna. It’s my favorite restaurant there. It actually turned pink over time. I wonder if the same transformation happened to the stone on the pink house in Charleston.
I know of the Pink House in Savannah. I wonder too.
Renatinha é saudade, te desejamos tudo de bom. Rê faz live (ou pelo uns videos com mais tempo tipo 1 h)mostrando os pontos que você acha interessante, sua fã já me pede pra te falar pra você mostrar mais lugares e com seu jeito de ir explicando ia ser maravilhoso.
Oi Daniel! Obrigada pela ideia! Nunca fiz live, um dia tomo coragem, kkkk. Um beijo grande pra ela 😘 e para todos aí ❤. Fiquem bem 🙏.
@@RenataPereiraTV você podia começar mostrando o bairro aonde você mora pra sua fã conhecer
Thanks for visiting my favorite place i call home! The pink house was an old tavern. I have always been drawn here since i was a kid and first heard of the pirates and the revolution. How many sailors does it take to turn a church into a bar? U can find out in charlestons repurposed buildings on market that are now restaurants. The history is in the buildings. Its great seeing u enjoy stuff im almost bored with or too poor to buy :) it is a very nice place to spend time. I wish they developed everywhere with individually designed houses rather than mass produced blue prints in suburbia. Its so beautiful and i love how the city typically prioritizes preserving the history of charleston which is its own island of sorts. Its too expensive to really be materialistic here and hope for a home, but it is very wonderful to get to experience living downtown
Thank you for sharing. I hear ya on how expensive it is...yet culturally rich.
Terimakasih kasih, videomu sangat menjelaskan dan membantu ❤️🇮🇩
Anda dipersilakan😀👍
I live here! Beautiful city, parking is insane. A bit too expensive for cost of living but my husband is from here and it is home. 🖤
Thanks for sharing! Really is a beautiful place.
Amazing.😍 I hope Renata can visit Indonesia again.
We would love to. We wait for Indonesia to open again 😀👍
You forgot to mention that charleston has some amazing kiteboarding locations!
We mention the beaches in the upcoming video. Thanks for mentioning
D crab cakes, yummilicious. And so does d coconut cake.
Yes, both were fantastic
@@RenataPereiraTV 🙂
I can't help but wonder how many bottles of whiskey was sold in the old liquor store and i could go for a slice of that coconut cake it looked good !
Yes...bet many many over the years
😍😍😍👌👌
Thank you
I love how you drag him into the video and he’s just like, “Yeah, ok” 😅
HAHA, Gordon is so relaxed
waiting for the Portuguese version for my mom! :)
😍😍😍
Thank you for watching again! 😀👍
@@RenataPereiraTV 😀🌹
I never heard before, if Charleston is Charles Town :)
Coool, something new in our video for your.👍😀
I love this city. I prefer to visit Charleston over any major US city.
Great choice...lots to see and fantastic food.
Renata: Charleston is just a historical capital city of South Carolina for ALL tourists to visit in 2022!
Yes, lots of history, good food and something for eveyone
I am so devastated that I didn't reached Myrtle Beach last week after I reached Columbia, South Carolina on my two days stayed.I returned back home due to the hurricane (Elsa) in July 2021!
Thanks for letting us know. Sorry, such bad timing. These storms are so unpredictable.
@@RenataPereiraTV Renata: I am planning to visit Charleston, South Carolina again this year to visit Myrtle Beach in 2022!
@@RenataPereiraTV Renata: Thanks you so much for this great video about Charleston, South Carolina.I really love ALL your great video from 2020 to 2022!
Renata, lovely video - of course we have heard of Charleston - the dance was named after it!
Haha...right!!!! Thanks for watching
Hi I just move 2 weeks ago from Vegas . I love it here but I can get lost easily.
You will get used to it. Can be a little disorienting given the narrower avenues
@@RenataPereiraTV
Thank you Renata! I’m sure I will get use to it!
I used to live in downtown Charleston and do not drive. I walked everywhere (I only took public transport to go outside of downtown). I was my thinnest back then.
HAHA...I can imagine...a great city for walking. Any hidden gems we missed?
@@RenataPereiraTV I lived there back in 2007-2009. You hit on everything there is to do and know!!
I’ve always wanted to move to Charleston
Lots of people have the same idea. It is quietly growing unlike Austin TX
@@RenataPereiraTV I lived in Austin for a few years 05-07! Why what’s wrong with Austin? Is it old hat now?
@@AnomolousGrandeur Ahhhh! We lived in Austin too!!! 2014-2018 😍😊, great memories. No, I meant that Austin’s growth is massive compared to other US cities 😉
@@RenataPereiraTV I understand, yeah I was thinking Austin will always be 😎 cool
Hi renata,
Wawwwwww.....cake 😍😍,
Hello 😊
Apa kabar renata😊😊
Excellent
Thank you...I am a CZcamsr who loves to travel in Korea.
You're welcome 😊 Welcome to the channel
i`m thinking about moving here..I hope it works out
I wish you luck. It is a great city to explore.
Awesome, you mentioned you are heading to Florida, which is your home place ?
Thanks! Orlando
The traffic here is my problem, I feel like I’m In race track 😁
Yes, narrow streets and a lot of traffic
Philadelphia Alley actually has many notable duels that happened. It was the place to have a duel in the city because the buildings on either side were built with thick walls, and they were close together so as to limit the possibility of any innocent bystander being harmed. Dueling was legal for a number of years in South Carolina. It was considered a more gentlemanly way of setting disputes of honor. The South Carolina Legislature pass a rule guidance for dueling called The Code Duello. Not abiding by the rules in The Code Duello could land you in jail and your duel being tried as an armed riot.
Thank you for the information. So interesting.
Hello renatinha you visit same pretty place.
Hello 😊
charleston is the most beautiful city in the united states
Indeed, a very charming city
We really are that special.
Special southern charm👍😀
