248 Words1 Page

I’ve always been drawn to the South, but I wanted to find a place with the East Coast flare that I love so much. North Carolina offers both. Visiting Wilmington I realized the quality of life is so different than what I am used to in the North East and, honestly, it is quite refreshing.
