I didn’t much care for Indiana before I moved there for college. But after living in the state for three years, and countless return to visits to see my friends who still live there, I’ve come to really appreciate the state.

There are a lot of fun and unique things to do in Indiana, and I think you might be surprised by the variety of landscapes (and time zones!) you can actually find in the state.

So here are my travel guides/love letters to my once-home state of Indiana.

Years lived in Indiana: 2011-2014
