Well, Virginia is a midsize state with a lot of colonial and Civil War history under its belt. Four of the first five presidents were from Virginia, including Washington and Jefferson. The state varies dramatically - northern VA borders Washington DC, and is developed and modern, whereas parts of the south and western virginia are rural and much less sophisticated. It is socially conservative, especially in the southern regions. Some nice stretches of ocean, the Chesapeake bay and potomac river make it great for water sports. Give it a try.

I am a Virginia native and I love it here. We have four distinct seasons, even near the ocean. We have all sorts of things to do and see and it's not too far to New York City, Baltimore, Washington DC and Philadelphia. I think that many areas look like rural Europe, especially Germany's Bavaria.

Lived in Southwest Va at one time. It is slow moving, relaxing, and beautiful. Northern Va is bustling, noisy but you are able to make a good living there.
The beauty of the mountains are worth living there for awhile. I would suspect like Norway but warmer most of the time.

Depends on what part of Virgina. I have been to virginia beach. I loved it. It was the cleanest vacation spot I have been to. A little costly. I stayed in a hotel on the beach, and when I woke in the morning, to look out to the ocean, I could see dolphins jumping out of the water. I would so go!

Like any town in american there is good and bad, look up surrounding towns check schools out crime rate, registered molesters etc it can be done from where you sit miles away.....
then on line request info from eachr Chamber of Commerce that you are looking into
From Germany while in the military we bought a house in Fayetteville North Carolina in Arron Lake area from our computer and knew what kind of schools our daughter would attend, crime rate and had a van waiting for us when we landed
Gosh I miss my old life.......Good luck

it depends which part of virginia
the northern part of virginia is very much the suburbs and it is VERY crowded with many traffic jams
-there are a lot of smart people up here (polititions to DC and wealthy business owners as well)
southern part of virginia is spread out, with farm lands i guess

In Virginia they speak English and, therefore, spell refrigerator without a 'D'.
But, it's an easy mistake to make.
