Relatable Viral Video Sums Up What It’s Like to Live in Iowa [WATCH]

It's so accurate that it hurts!

As someone who moved to Iowa from a different state, I've been asked all sorts of interesting questions about my new home over the past (almost) ten years. Sometimes it gets a little irritating answering the same questions over and over, but then I remember that I would've probably asked the same questions before I moved here...

Erin Miller is a 34-year-old content creator that posts videos under the account overthemoonfaraway. Most of her videos focus on nostalgic millennial content, but she recently posted a video that is incredibly relatable to Iowans! The video's caption reads:

"When someone who's never been to the Midwest asks where I'm from"
