New York. I've only ever lived in the one state, but when it comes down to it, it's a pretty good place to live. I'm not in the city though, about six hours away from it.

For region, definitely the northeast. I've visited Maine before because I have family there, and it is gorgeous up there. My cousin got married right in front of the ocean and it was nice.

I really enjoyed my stay in California when I visited the US 4 years ago. I stayed in San Francisco, Cayucos, San Diego and Los Angeles over the course of 2 weeks so I got a pretty good look at the state during that time. I would love to do a tour of the Northeast at some point. I spent some time in Boston on a previous trip and I passed through Connecticut and Rhode Island on the Amtrak to New York where I saw some lovely scenery especially in Connecticut so it would be great to spend some time touring the region. I would also like to go to the Pacific Northwest which looks like a really interesting part of the US to visit.

I like the South cause Im a warm weather person.
Southern California is great but traffic is terrible
I love upstate New York too, but it gets too cold for me

I like Florida and Hawaii, because it is nice weather 90% of the time there.

I like Minnesota and Texas.

Minnesota because it's my home, I was born here and I've lived here my whole life.

Texas because that is where my sweet boyfriend lives.

The only thing I hate about MN is the blizzards, I've had horrible experiences with being in a car crash during a snow storm and being forced to be outside in a blizzard. I just like to stay inside and be cozy during the winter :)

I'm pretty biased when I say my favorite state is the one I live in.

My favourite state is New Mexico, my favourite region is New Orleans (I experienced very great kindness and hospitality there during my 3 month sojourn in that city in 1996, wonder how it would be now though).

I went to Hawai'i once, and I absolutely adored it. I love the rainforest so, so much - I can't think of words adequate enough to describe it :heart:

My second choice would be Colorado - that had absolutely nothing to do with the legalization of marijuana and everything to do with the mountains. Mountains are probably my second favorite type of place, and Colorado is where I really remember mountains and associate with them.

Probably Tennessee and the South. I love Early country music, so I'd love to go to Alabama to see the grave of Hank Williams, go to Louisiana for yummy Cajun food and see the old Louisiana Hayride building, and of course go to Nashville and Memphis for the Ryman Auditorium and the Sun Records Studio meuseum.

I've been to Mackinac Island, which was really fun to see. I used to have relatives in Kalamazoo.
