Freezing temperatures, snow storms, and the lack of sunlight make surviving and thriving in the coldest winter in Vermont harsh and borderline unbearable to an indoor girl like me. If you didn’t already pick up on this, I’m not a...

I might be biased, but there is a lot to love about Vermont from our tight-knit communities, to the glorious snow-capped mountains, to the maple syrup... just to name a few. Vermont is a beautiful place to live, especially...
