Welcome to Drift & Discover VB: Hidden Gems & Unique Experiences
Discover Virginia Beach Like Never Before
Hi there, and welcome to Drift and Discover VB: Explore the Unknown, Find Your Home! I’m so excited you’re here! This blog is about is about stepping out of routines, embracing the unfamiliar, and discovering the places that make this city feel like home.
Why I Started the Blog
Let me give you a little backstory. I moved to Virginia Beach in 2023 after years of visiting a few times a year—I have family here, so it always felt familiar. But to be honest, I was hesitant to move. Coming from a big city, Virginia Beach initially felt like it had nothing going on. I’m sorry, but where was the personality?!
It took me a few months to realize I had it all wrong. There’s so much happening here—it’s just tucked away in the most unexpected places. The best spots aren’t always obvious, and if you don’t know where to look, you might miss them entirely. That’s where I come in.
If you’re anything like me, you like to know exactly what you’re walking into. Surprises? No, thank you! I’ve always been the type who wants all the spoilers—whether it’s a movie, a book, or in this case, a new restaurant, café, or adventure. My anxiety often kept me in my comfort zone, revisiting the same places instead of exploring. But then I realized… I was missing out.
So, I made a change. I started stepping outside my routine, trying new places one by one, and now I’m sharing it all with you.
