Georgia

THE PEACH STATE

Georgia has been my home for over a decade and I am always singing its praises to skeptics (people who don’t live in the south). There’s something for everyone here: waterfalls and sweeping vistas in the Blue Ridge Mountains, to the gators and Cypress trees in Okefenokee Swamp, to our unspoiled beaches like Jekyll and Cumberland Island.
