Life in the big city is not all it is to be.

When we turn the clock back to my 25-year-old naive himself, I thought moving to the tallest building in San Diego was a accurate road to happiness.

Despite the epic view from my balcony, I still look back on that place as a waste container, because the chaos of the city and high rental prices were just too much to wear.

Ah, the disappointments of life. Can I get a “blessing heart”? Thank you.

According to local reports, many travelers opt for a small city scarf above the bright lights of Broadway, because three of the most unexpected southern destinations bloom, which shows that ‘the south has risen again.

Every breaking tourist records because of their unique attraction, visitors will be willing to give these off-path destinations a chance, will find a down-home charm and fewer crowds compared to the well-known names, such as Miami, Austin and Nashville.

These 3 unexpected southern cities are rising in popularity:

Pensacola, Florida

You hear from every beach city of Florida and their mother, but Pensacola rarely comes in, because many travelers choose Panama City, Destin, and even cross the State Line to Gulf Shores.

Pensacola is much more than a gateway to these remarkable beaches, with a charming district in the city center and its own beautiful coasts.

Although it is true, you can expect crowds on most beaches in Florida, because everyone has a different spring break, as soon as the university mixes go back to pretending to pay attention and encourage AI to write their thesacola, Pensacola is a wonderful holiday spot.
