I've traveled the US over & over again, hitting every state (except north dakota & hawaii) multiple times. I have come accross SO many places that I really love and it is awful hard to choose but my all time favorite place has to be Eugene Oregon!
The city is beautiful for a city, and you travel about a half hour east & you've got the mountains, a little further you're in the desert and if you travel about a half hour west youre right on the coast.
The woods are so beautiful, almost like a fairy tale where you expect fairy's to fly by. The people are so much nicer out there than here. The stores carry so many more natural products. I can go on & on.
