Which place would YOU visit? 😍👇
The vmfa is so underrated! Nobody ever goes there! A true hidden gem
I’ve lived just outside of Richmond for nearly 5 years, and I’ve not heard of any of these places. Definitely want to give them a visit when my husband and I get a rare date night.

For sure will! Need to keep sharing my favorites, as there are so many! 😝😍 thanks Austin!
I believe the VMFA’s Lillian Pratt Collection of Faberge’ is the largest single collection in the US. (Malcolm Forbes, of Forbes magazine and other fame, used to have the biggest collection until his passing then all was sold off.) Back to L. Pratt’s collection, interesting story of how her collection assembled. Back in the day (82-83?), Forbe’s collection was touring and both collections combined for VMFA’s special exhibit. 😍

Grew up there. Moved away 28 years ago. All of my family are still there, so I’m there for frequent visits. Awesome city. Here’s hoping Richmond remains an underrated hidden gem. Nashville (where I currently live) used to be an underrated gem. Now it’s a hillbilly nightmare with a carnival atmosphere and aspirations to be the next LA, NY or Hotlanta.
I love proper pie!!! (I live in a nearby county to Richmond)

It’s so good!!
Paix is legit. Solid vibes and solid dudes. If you haven’t been to Shoredog, that’s a great coffee shop to work from. Conejo has incredible upscale street tacos. And Bar West has really good vibes. Also, if you haven’t been to Stellas, you’re missing out-insane Greek food! There are just so many pockets of personality in RVA. I’ve only been here for a few years and I’m always finding new spots!

Good list! As a local, I love a good CVS (down the hill in Shockoe) Proper Pie, Libbie Hill run! never heard of PAIX but I plan to check it out.
Hey girl!! I love watching your channel, you’re one of my favorite creators!!! I would super love to see you share some vlogs about your day to day life, maybe less centered on Richmond/Virginia/travel and more about you, veganism, and life in general (more chill and unscripted). I think it would be super fun to watch 🥰 much love 💕💕

I now live in Madrid and fun fact, the big head at VMFA, one is also in Madrid at the Plaza de Colon. Keep up the great videos. Wonderful quality and information.

Hey Tatiana! Thank you so much for your support all these years! 💚 I’ve archived my older videos for a few reasons including changing to focusing more on Virginia only content (algorithm reasons) and also a few personal ones. I’m so sorry if this is annoying & disappointing. Totally understandable! Let me know if there’s any particular video you’d like to see & I can send you private links. ☺️
