The Triangle area is centrally located in North Carolina and offers a wide variety of things to do locally and many options for local travel to beaches, mountains, charming small towns and more. The mild weather also makes outdoor activities abundant.

Local Counties include Wake, Chatham and Orange Counties.

With three major Universities (UNC, Duke, and NC State) and hundreds of large and small national and international companies in the RTP (Research Triangle Park) the area is home to people from all over the country and the world.
