I reside in the great North East Pennsylvania region in the area known as the Pocono Mountains,
below you can find some of the attractions my neighbors and I have been blessed with.
This area has all the wonderful changes of the seasons of which fall is my favorite. We are only two hours from both Philadelphia and New York City (one of my favorites!!!) and there are many fantastic state parks and nature areas nearby. Both snow and water skiing, golf and white water rafting are just some of the pleasures to be found here. The area is hilly and ranges between very rural and very metropolitan in nature. The people are friendly and hard working and I am proud to be a member of this community. My great grandparents on both my mother's and my father's side immigrated from Europe, and I am 50% Welsh, 25% Hungarian and 25% Austrian.
The Pocono Mountains are a favorite vacation spot for many people from the metro Philadelphia
and New York City areas in addition to many European visitors. There are many forests, rivers,
streams, ponds and lakes offering a wide variety of outdoor activities throughout the year. In the
winter months I can be found in front of my fireplace with the lights out, a fire going, the candles
lit, the drapes open, the outdoor flood lights on and watching the deer walk through my yard.
