Virginia


Looking back over my short six months in Virginia, it is crazy how much Williamsburg grew on me. My move to Williamsburg wasn't planned, a job opportunity arose and off I went. To be honest, I had never given Virginia much thought, terrible I know, but living there gave me such an appreciation for the state with (what I still think) is the worst state slogan. 
Having spent the summer in the mountains of Alaska, I wasn't sure how I would like the costal lowlands of eastern Virginia. After doing some exploring, I found a different kind of beauty of the costal estuary environments, a peaceful, wide open, wild, costal beauty, a beauty I loved just as much.

Living in a place so steeped with history was also something new to me. I feel like Virginia was the birthplace of America, and everywhere you go there is a new/old piece of American history to (re)discover.

I feel like a only just scratched the surface of all there is so see and do in Virginia. I honestly have no idea where life will take me, but definitely wouldn't mind ending up in Virginia again.
