est. 2017
Making the decision to leave my life in DC was not an easy decision. Not only did life seem pretty comfortable and I seemed to be kind of cruising along on the life path (well maybe not, #single #rent) society tells you is the right path, but I love the city of DC itself. To outsiders, it looks like a city of politics, but take the time to explore beyond the Hill, you’ll see the rich culture and all the unique things Washington DC has to offer.
In order to celebrate their birthday, all National Parks sites had free entry today. I hope you all were luckier than me and had a chance to #optoutside instead of sitting behind a computer all day (regretting not playing hooky!)
DC may be a small city of only 68 square miles, but that doesn’t limit the number of places to explore here. One of my favorite parts of this city is that no matter where you are, you are never too far from a park or some other green space. As an outsider to DC, you may think of the National Mall when it comes to green space. Or if you live here… Rock Creek Park or Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park may come to mind. However, my favorite hidden gem in DC when I’m craving nature is the National Arboretum.
