I'm a Jersey Girl, and proud of it.

It was great growing up in New Jersey and I still live here today...that's saying something. I don't want to leave because it's the best.

New Jersey is known for its beautiful mix of charming towns, scenic views, and being close to two big cities, New York and Philadelphia.
