Answer
Hi Iman -

Thanks for your message. I was born in Maine, and have spent a lot of time there off and on. But I've lived in Burlington Vermont since 1961. Because so much about Burlington VT works so well for me, I'd find it hard to imagine liviing anywhere else in the country. But that may tell you more about me and what I value, than about Burlington.

Burlington is MUCH more diverse now than it was when I was a kid, and I greatly value that in many ways.

Burlington's also an hour and three quarters from Montreal by car - the (very) scenic route, and that means a lot to me too.

Lake Champlain, Downtown Burlington, the nearby ski areas (5+ of them), the bike path system, the live music scene in Burlington, and having a lot of things going on here all the time, make this a place I like a lot.

What interests do YOU have which I could look into for you here?

Let me know how I can help...

Best wishes,
David Beckett
