I personally adore our nature. I've traveled slightly but Vermont has always been home and the most beautiful. Our mountains are well known, "The Green Mountain State." I live in a central area absolutely covered in evergreens and other trees as well.

By far it is gorgeous in the Fall, it's almost annoying how many photographers come to the capitol and around that area to take photos of the leaves. I come from a small town with about 600 people, lots of local foods and gardeners, we often have free farm veggies and local cafes. I want to share so much more on loving the state, but perhaps you should just visit and hike around, get to know the people and environment. Might just be my experiences but everyone around is much nicer compared to other states I have been to, always willing to help out, and mostly very kind drivers who give plenty of distance.

Again, it may just be me but the places I've been to in Vermont you'll most likely pass a cow farm, probably see a deer or moose along the way or a family of bears. Many long roads, things are very spred out, such as my home, if I want any form of groceries, I must drive 40 minutes into town.

Lots of hiking around, grouse hunting and fishing goes on. Camping is a must, and don't forget skinny dipping in all those secluded rivers. Langdon Street in Montpelier often has fun band music and great food to enjoy, record shops and vintage clothing.

Just come visit! I'm sure you'll love the lil hippie state of ours.
