Small towns I bet you haven't heard of

Because size isn't everything.

It's Friday! You know what that means...virtual vacation time! ✨   Not being able to travel for almost a year has (in my opinion) created two camps of future travelers: those who will rush to as many places as possible and those who will take their time and savor the return to travel.    No hate on the former group, but I definitely will fall more into the latter. Quarantine has shown me the benefits of slowing down and appreciating the little things. Like small towns! Sure, you could argue there's less to do and see, but it allows you to spend more time exploring each nook and cranny. So what do you say, shall we stop and smell the small towns?
