The summer after my Junior
year in college I made the daring decision to do an internship 1,300
miles from my home, in Hartford, Connecticut. I packed my bags, boarded the
plane, and mentally prepared myself for the fast-paced east coast culture that
I was about to experience. When I arrived to my intern housing, everyone was
nervously introducing themselves and awkwardly trying to make friends, as most
20 year-olds would do in this situation. Reluctantly, I joined in. One person
asked me where I was from, and I smiled and answered, "Minnesota". It
was then that I realized the renown of my home state as they replied,
"Where's that?"

I love Minnesota for many
reasons. Although I understand that when people imagine it, they picture the
movie Frozen, without Elsa or the singing. However, Minnesota is much more than
a giant frozen tundra.
I want to dedicate this
space to exploring the historic and beautifully unique state that Minnesota is.
Take a look and let's explore together!
