    Virginia merman saying hi!

    Hi everyone my name is Nate but I’m used to being called Nata so much so it gonna be my mersona name. I don’t own a tail yet but I hope to within the coming year! I’m kinda nervous about my first swim cause I don’t know any local pools that allow it. I’m also afraid of ridicule but water is my temple so I don’t care! I’m moving to Norfolk in a year or two so any mermaids or mermen around there would be nice to know. My end goal is to be a marine biologist by day and merman performer by night oh btw current location is near Bristol va so the middle of nowhere

    Haha no worries! I only live in Virginia over the summer since I go to school in Georgia for most of the year. But I do know a ton of other mers that live in Norfolk area. Are you apart of the Chesapeake Pod page on Facebook?

    Can we blame that uprise of the mermen on me? I'd like to think I'm just that awesome. She right though, I'm glad more of us mermen are shifting the tides of the seas by coming out of our caves.

    Welcome to the waters! I’m in Virginia as well, though fairly far north! It would take me the same time to drive to Bristol as it would to travel back to my hometown of Brick, NJ :P

    Twilight darkens, yet there in the shade,
    Lies a glimmering shadow, the wild mermaid;

    As night draws ever closer, there's a choice to be made--
    Will you stay as you are, or be delivered to the waves?

    Of course! And there is also a member map that you can use to look for mers near you. [link]

    I'd actually argue that at least 30-40% of the recent newbies are mermen. Its amazing!

    A pleasure to meet you! Welcome to the community! Just be you and the right people will swim your way.
    Why blend in when you were so obviously destined to stand out?

    Same, man. I’d love to hang out but it’d be quite a bit of a drive.
