The Virginia Beach area, with its boundless wonders, calls out to locals and tourists alike asking to be explored, but the vastness is overwhelming. I learned at the start of my journey that this was not something I could do alone…I've sought out local heroes, guides, and experts each a guardian of knowledge and experience, to guide us through this sprawling tapestry that is the Virginia Beach area.

Joining me are the champions of local spirit, starting with the Moxy Hotel's dynamic trio – Katie, Anna, and Ken. Their tales of hospitality reveal a world where every stay writes a new chapter in the story of Virginia Beach.

Representing the triumph of spirit, Rachel from Special Olympics Virginia illuminates the role of sports in building bridges within our community, teaching us about resilience, unity, and joy.

We have an array of diverse voices lined up, each bringing their unique perspective and story to our exploration and with each rapid-fire question, we’ll dig deeper, unveiling personal passions and stories that paint a picture of life here in the Virginia beach area…
