I was born in the southern part of connecticut, but now live in a city more northwest!

Best things to do in connecticut:

☀️ Beaches; private & public

🛍️ Shopping; there are plenty of malls and there’s mile long streets with restaurants, bars and shops!

🐳 Aquariums; there is mystic aquarium and maritime aquarium!

🚙 Scenic Roads; there are many scenic roads through ct. My favorite are the roads going up to the Berkshire’s in massachusetts!

Favorite things about ct:

🍁 Fall time; fall in ct is absolutely gorgeous! When the leaves start changing and the weather gets cooler!

❄️ 🌺 ☀️ 🍂; I absolutely LOVE that there is always 4 seasons here! Being able to experience snow, colorful flowers, hot pool days, and cool fall nights by a bonfire.. is the best thing in the world!
