I'll say this; VT has some of the most divergent levels of seasonal beauty out of anywhere I've been. So, come here when it's crappy out (March, November) and see if it speaks to you.

homie nobody here has any idea what a nurse that works with your wife meant when they said VT has a "certain type of people". If you don't know, and you know your wife, how tf would we ever be able to figure that out lol

If you're thinking of moving here, just visit for a bit.

Either the friend is racist or implying that there are racists in Vt. Both are probably true. I'm white, so can't attest to much, the racism I've seen here is well-meaning white people being racist. I'm sure there are horror stories of much worse (and there are plenty of news articles confirming the more overt racism, see Kiah Morris for example).

Vermont is a very white state. Once outside the greater Burlington area, racial diversity nosedives. If you are people of color, consider whether you'd want to be one of the few families of color in whatever Vermont town you choose. Most folks would welcome you with open arms (though slowly, as they do with everyone), but they're might be a few that really suck.

The restaurants are always posting about job openings on Craigslist and fpf, pretty much all of them need at least support staff. Also Bolton Valley needs lift operators, the pay isn’t great but you get a free seasons pass and also the fringe benefit of being a Bolton person which makes your life instantly more interesting.
