I was wondering what countries and/or states in the U.S. would be places I could happily live in. I need a place that has nature, definitely must include beaches, somewhere where buildings and cars don’t dominate everything, but I don’t want to live in the middle of nowhere either. The people generally should be friendly, open-minded, and welcoming to everyone, including vistors. There must be some degree of culture, like art, sports, etc. It has to be a place where it’s not that difficult to be a vegan. It hopefully doesn’t have an extremely corrupt government, where citizens have a say in what happens. I don’t like extremely cold or hot weather, but I don’t mind at all a bit of snow, rain, sun, etc. I kind of actually like seeing “the four seasons.” I apologize this is very long, but I would love to be somewhere I feel like I could call my niche. Also, I do not see myself ever living in California and Hawaii. Don’t ask me why, but it just doesn’t feel right there for me. Thank you again. 🙂
