I think it’s fascinating how many beautiful and exciting places there are right in our own backyards that many of us have never seen. This podcast has opened my eyes up to so many things around where I live in Baltimore Maryland. I’ve lived in Maryland for the last 17 years and I’ve had conversations through this podcast about places in this state that I’ve never even seen. I can’t help but think about all of the wonderful things I’ve been missing.
That’s also a feeling I had during this week’s conversation. I grew up in southern New Hampshire. I like to think that I hit up a lot of cool spots while I lived there. I used to snowboard all over New England, I spent a lot of time camping in the mountains, and always loved a trip to the beach. But there is on particular famous New England spot that I never made it to. That was Martha’s Vineyard.
It’s legendary, right? Martha’s Vineyard. It’s been in movies and TV shows and so many famous stars have homes there. It’s one of those places that almost doesn’t seem real. But it very much is. The Vineyard has a beautiful community of people that live there year round and provide such a wonderful experience to visitors.
I’m joined today by two guests who know Martha’s Vineyard inside and out. Erica Ashton is the executive director for the Martha’s Vineyard Chamber of Commerce, and Alessandra Hagerty is the Deputy Director. I hope you enjoy our conversation.
