    Idk but I really love the town. Especially the weather. I love gloomy weather, rain, dark sky and clouds. It’s simple and plain. Far away from skycrapers, noise, pollutions and waste. Life is good. Life is not demanding.

    I would love to move abroad again and live in a place like this. Been always living in a big city and only had a year experience of living in a small town in Köthen, Germany. But those one year was sweet and peaceful. Really miss it. Anyways, thank you for a wonderful video! Love to see more ❤

      It is definitely in the sticks, I couldn't live there. It is at least a 75 minute drive to get to Port Angeles, that is if there is no road construction delays or just plain slow traffic.
