Which US-state to live in ?

I will move to Montana, marry a round American woman, I will raise rabbits and she will cook them for me.

My choice would be Montana.
A lot of ground, a lot of forests and not many people.

Pennsylvania, to where my sister and aunt emigrated in the '60s. When I visited I got treated like Royalty.

Hmmmm, I like the look of Kansas but I'd probably build my house underground.
Cali is socially interesting but usually on fire and/or at risk of going to join Hawaii.
Hawaii has some nice geography but would probably be too hot for me, would love to see one of their shield volcanos though.

I think Colorado would probably be the place for me, you've got a good cross-section of climates, it's not too built up, and there's good transportation links to other planets.

I'm pretty biased for Missouri...but if I had to live in any other of the 49 states I'd say hands down North Carolina

Gorgeous country, coastline, mountains, forests, etc. I am never disappointed when I travel out there. Great food, friendly people, and good times.

If that's what you're looking for then definitely you should go for Alaska Markus.

Both states are so large that it's difficult to generalize about living there but Alaska has the last remaining true frontier country in the US. There is free land to homestead, no income tax (they actually pay residents a dividend each year), plenty of woods and wildlife. I'd be there now if I didn't have to take care of family here.

Texas on the other hand is hot as hell, full of stinging bugs, over run by poisonous snakes and subject to floods, tornadoes and dust storms.

You mentioned something I forgot.

I love to take a walk in the nature or camp if possible in the nature to see the wildlife and/or have a boat and fish in some lake. Alaska has always been in my view because of that.

Texas- Known for its BBQ that is a big plus too

Damn. There go my Texan fantasies.

Might as well stay here. Wouldn't notice the difference
