Growing Up in Vermont
Growing up in a small town in a small state is not as idyllic as everyone might have you believe. Yes, you know all of your neighbors, you can leave your door unlocked (hardly anyone ever really regrets it), and there aren't a lot of city blocks to navigate. On the other hand, your neighbors know your business whether you want them to or not, everyone knows that your door is unlocked, and you're likely to be stuck behind a tractor for a few miles because there isn't always a connecting street that will bypass it.

From London to New York: What I Learnt From a Week in the Big Apple
For my 23rd birthday, I was lucky enough to go to New York for a week - and it was one of the best weeks of my life. Growing up I’ve always dreamt of travelling through the US, going to as many states as possible and the first on my list was New York. I spent years saying to myself “one day I’ll go if I have the time, the money...” but now I can say I’ve finally achieved it for myself. It was an amazing experience, one I’ll never forget.

How a City Stole My Heart and Never Gave it Back
Have you ever been somewhere and never wanted to leave? Was that a store? The beach? Or maybe it was the mountains? For me, it was a whole city. A city that I visited when I was in high school and then again when I was older. A place where I would love to settle down one day because I love it that much. This is a place where I could visit all the same attraction and still fall in love even more. Where is this you ask?
