After college, she chose to trade in her winter boots for slippahs and moved to the beautiful island of Oahu, where she has been living for more than five years.

She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
From grand natural wonders to quirky roadside attractions and massive cities to coastal towns, The United States is home to countless incredible destinations. But not all of these spectacular spots are well-known. In fact, many of America’s most remarkable places fly under the radar. Especially in our small state, you will find secret gems the rest of the country overlooks. With a quaint New England feel, this one-of-a-kind community in Vermont is easily one of America’s best-kept secrets and you’ll want to plan your visit as soon as possible.
If you need to get away from it all, there’s no better place to escape than Putney, a charming small town with fresh maple syrup, breathtaking natural beauty, countless attractions and things to do, and more.
Putney is not only home to 2,700 residents but plenty of history as well. Located on the National Register of Historic Places, you'll find bridges, homes, churches, and more in Downtown Putney.
Whether you like to pick your own or buy them in their shop, Green Mountain Orchards has apples, blueberries, peaches, pumpkins and more. You'll want to spend the day at this beautiful property because along with picking they offer hike, snowshoe, and many spots to create the perfect picnic.
Here you can get just about anything you need from a fresh deli breakfast or lunch to aspirins and band-aids at their pharmacy. The Putney General Store and Pharmacy has been the hub of the town for more than 200 years.
It's not often you find a dedicated puppet theater, but then again, Putney isn't your average town. Sandglass is inspired by a love of puppetry and live performance, engagement with the local and international community, and respect for the audience. These shows are truly unique!
No matter when you visit, you're sure to have a lovely time, but we're partial to autumn in Putney. Vibrant fall foliage abounds and recreation options are endless.
