Personalities

Who Fits Morgantown's College-town or river-city energy?

Is Morgantown right for me? If you're an Adventure Junkie, College Student, or Craft Beer Fan, you'll find your happy place between trail heads and tailgates. If you're a Surfer Dude, Beach Bum, or Binge Shopper, you'll miss out on access to the ocean and mega-malls more than expected.

Hannah, Our Local Expert Guiding Your Move

Hannah is a born and raised West Virginian who briefly tested life across state lines before realizing the pull of the hills is undefeated. She has lived in both northern and south central West Virginia, moved more times than she can count during college, and knows Charleston well enough to give directions using landmarks instead of street names. She writes fiction, spins yarn into sweaters, drinks Charleston coffee like its a personality trait, and somehow keeps four pets fed. Editing West Virginia guides comes naturally when you know the people shine... even when the sun does not.
