Exploring Sturbridge, MA and its surroundings with Noa.

1. So firstly, where do you live, and how long have you lived here?

So I live in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, a little town in the middle of a giant forest lol. I've lived here for about 5 years now, I lived 1 year in a really old farm house and now it’s been 4 years in this house. It’s right in the middle of town.

2. Has the current Coronavirus pandemic affected your life here, and if so in what ways?

The whole Covid-19 situation has definitely affected my life, It started out with me only going to the store where as now it’s been almost 5 weeks since Iv’e been out of the house! Pure torture haha!

3. Once restrictions/ any quarantine rules lift, what is the thing you most look forward to doing here?

Once everything is over I can’t wait to go thrift shopping! We have several good stores here and it’s an awesome way to get new clothes without spending ALL your money. I also can’t wait to go to the beach, although I live about an hour or two away, it’s definitely worth it!

4. In more normal times, what would you say is the best thing about living here? Likewise, is there anything you would change?

I love living here because of Dunkin Donuts and the people. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and I mean we do have the best iced coffee. If I could change anything it would be the weather. One day it’ll be negative 5 and snowing and then the next week it’s 19 and there isn’t a cloud in the sky!

5. A friend comes to visit here for the first time and wants to discover the best of what your location has to offer...what is your itinerary for the day?

If someone came to visit me and it was their first time, I would definitely take them to Boston! It’s an amazing City and there’s so much to do. I would also take them to this little barbecue restaurant my Town has, B.T's Smokehouse, it has the best ribs ever! Then to finish off the day maybe go watch the sunset at the beach. The cape is so beautiful!

Thank you so much Noa for your responses and for helping us to discover your beautiful slice of New England!
