Hi, I'm Larkin. I'm from Bentonville, Arkansas. A few words that I would use to describe my hometown is just southern hospitality. Everyone here you meet is just some of the kindest people I think I've ever met. Something unique about this place is it is the mountain bike capital of the world. We have tons of mountain bike trails that have been built for a while, are being built, we're constantly expanding, and it's just a very memorable place to be because you have all these bike trails, but you also have all these nature trails that you can go on. Personally, I love going near the Crystal Bridges because there's some really cool creeks there, and also downtown area is very nice, which is also where the Woltons live. So it's a very unique expanding area due to them.
