I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and I love photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world! Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream.
When you think of a college town, what comes to mind? Maybe a large city with a downtown area teeming with young adults headed to the bars. Or, perhaps, a town with a college football stadium and lots of local pride for the local college sports teams. Well, not all college towns are alike and there are plenty of small towns around the nation that are home to colleges and still offer wonderful local dining, shopping, and nature options. Home to Eastern New Mexico University, Portales is one such charming college town in New Mexico and it’s worth spending some time here.
