Rhode Island felt like a secret worth keeping. Small in size, yes—but filled with moments that stretched wide in feeling. I remember thinking, “This is where charm lives—on quiet streets, along salty docks, in the way the light hits a clapboard house at dusk.”
What stayed with me were the textures—sea breeze in my hair, oysters on a half shell, the sound of gulls and boats and porch laughter. I wandered through historic towns and coastal paths, never needing to rush. I left with sand in my shoes and a softness I didn’t expect from somewhere so tucked-away.
