You guys, it is finally here: my ultimate guide to Charlottesville, VA! ICYMI, my boyfriend lives in Charlottesville, and I’ve been visiting quite frequently over the last year. I fell in love with the city the first time I visited, and whenever there was an opportunity to visit, you better believe I hopped on a train and experienced this charming little town time and time again. I can wholeheartedly say that Charlottesville is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited, and it makes me proud to be a Virginia native.

The one thing I love most about Charlottesville is the people. Despite the events that occurred last August, I can honestly say that the real citizens of Charlottesville are incredibly progressive. I’ve only been treated with kindness and respect when I’ve visited, and I hope more people can get to know the real spirit of Charlottesville.

Back in November, I teamed up with Visit Virginia to explore a few new spots in RVA, and revisit some of my old favorite things to do in Richmond.
