While I am not a Texas native, I am looking to leave this place, Vermont appears to be a wonderful place to live. I remember visiting Vermont, and Maine, with my parents when I was a youngster. The image of my family, and I, drawing real maple syrup for a Vermont maple tree and is burned into my memory. It was a beautiful experience.
My daughters are grown, and I want to live in a place where I can enjoy the personal things that make me happy: riding my bicycle, hiking and nature photography.
While I hear the job market is not great in Vermont I do have alot of skills. I worked as a newspaper reporter, and a substitute teacher. I have a BA in Mass Communications, and a provisional teaching certification from Texas.
My wife is a native Texan, and she loves Texas. Because I am not a native Texan I feel out of place here. It is hard to become part of a community here.
I would image that the environment is very important to many who live in Vermont. That is a good thing. I consider the environment a very important component in everyone's lives. I try to do my share for the environment. I recycle, and commute to work by bicycle.
In about six years, I will be retiring, and I hope to see my dream of moving, and living, in Vermont become reality.
