New England is beautiful having grown up in Boston and migrated to NH many years ago. When they talk about Canadians migrating, they are talking probably mostly into Northern Maine, and Northern NH near the border is quite the wilderness.
I grew up in southern NH back in the 70s. While I've been to Boston a few times in the past 15 years, I've never gone back to NH... thinking I might go for Halloween next year. I haven't lived east of the Mississippi since moving to Colorado in 1980. I sure do miss the autumns there! The winters, not so much (I live in Seattle now).
When I was a delivery driver, mostly in town but would go in and out of state when needed, this is where I became aware of large convoys of motorhomes, fifth wheels, pulled by pickup Rv homes that were of Canadian license plates from Quebec, Ontario, Labrador, Nova Scotia, just a mile or two in the right lane to pass them all. They call themselves snowbunnies, mostly retired couples traveling down to southern Texas for the winter and traveling back north in late March early April. Nice people they are.
New England here , living in a small farming community in Vermont . Grew up in big city in central Massachusetts. Talk about culture shock. We love it !
I know he was joking but no, New Englanders don't want to be Canadians. Love Canada and have visited, but most of us are very happy to live in New England(minus the housing prices). BTW Massachusetts here.
It's not complicated at all I'm a military veteran and it's real easy I can tell you right now we have elites that control our government and the rest of people in the world and then you have the middle class and the poor people that they are trying to get rid of by saying global warming climate change which is false crap I was told that in the military it is false is a way for the government to grab control with people look at what happened with COVID they were able to grab control and make all these laws they want to do the same thing with climate change or global warming whatever you want to call it it's about getting control of everybody it's in the Bible exactly what's happening go read it then it won't be complicated Jesus literally wrote the Bible God wrote the Bible and told us exactly everything that's going to become in the world and now it's happening it's starting to happen The signs that Jesus said to look for is now happening so it might be confusing to you and complicated to many people but it's not complicated to Christians we are here Christians are here to try to tell people about Jesus and how amazing he is and how much he loves us and he died on the cross for us so they can go to heaven we can all go to heaven if those who believe in Jesus and trust in him as their savior so it's real simple for me this world is passing away fast I'm already 47 so I'm not looking to build up my treasure and riches here on this earth I'm looking forward to having for eternity and when you think like that and you when you know that it makes things way more easier and not complicated at all
Only people on TH-cam would think America is complicated how's it complicated name one thing it's complicated about it and I'll give you the answer I'm a military better and I can answer your question probably if I can't I'll tell you there's nothing complicated about America what people are are not Christians and they don't understand the meaning of life there's a difference between America being complicated and life being complicated so yes life is complicated but that's because people won't follow the will of God who's created a universe look up in the sky look at nature look at human eyeball look at animals all that they can do if that's not proof enough then people are crazy so again tell me what's complicated about America and I'm sure I can give you an answer maybe
Someone else commented on this I think, but it’s why Americans do not have passports, we have this giant country to discover by ourselves, friends or family. It’s a multi week vacation to leave Michigan and drive out west. As an American, we do have one of the beautiful countries, ever. We are a newborn country and I’m still discovering many magnificent areas!
So true. Whatever you like, we probably have it. Mountains, valleys, flat desert land. Warm climate to frigid temperatures. As a military kid from NC whose dad was based all over, we traveled very often. For several years we lived in Death Valley, quite a trip to go to NC to see grandma, lol. But we took a different route every time, so we saw many areas as we went. There are a couple which I truly love but it would be difficult to choose only one. There are fantastic places everywhere.
Last Wed and Thursday, I camped, fished, and hunted in the piney woods of Sam Houston National Forest in east Texas. Tomorrow, I leave to go camping and fishing in Corpus Christie. Tuesday afternoon, I'll be on South Padre Island fishing and to watch the Space X rocket launch and return at 4pm. Next week I'll be in Milano TX at my aunt's longhorn ranch to hunt hogs, fish, and camp. 😂
So true indeed. Had the pleasure of long haul trucking for 28 years retired now. Absolutely enjoyed my job as I was getting paid to be a tourist of my beloved country. I would often call my dispatcher as my travel agent and would request runs to the northwest and upper northeast as my favorite spots. I myself live in Texas so this alone is a gem to drive through. I'm working on a RV so I could continue my adventures with my wife, No need to leave our country and get a passport America the beautiful has it all!
My first 42 years in Chicago, Illinois. Then 7 years in St. Petersburg, Florida, 2 years near Memphis Tennessee and these last 13 years in a rural NW, Iowa small town.
Yes America is a new country. I heard a comment from another reactor from Europe say, "In America a hundred years is a long time, In Europe 100 miles is a long way".
One of my favorite bands, Minus the Bear, has a lyric in their song about going to Europe that goes: "Sitting on a park bench, that's older than my country" Always hit so hard.
Shout out from the Appalachia mountain region and I'm newer to your channel. It's great seeing the USA from the perspective of someone else and you seem like you're really enjoying yourself.
I live in the Deep South/Appalachia. I live in North Georgia about 40 miles from Tennessee. Would be honored if you were to come to the US and visit The South. I do believe you would enjoy it very much. By the way Our states in Appalachia also have a beautiful and colorful Autumn just a little bit later in the year as it doesn't get that cold here or that quick. Trees change color in the north around OCT/NOV. Trees change in the south around NOV/DEC. Hope to see you in the south soon.
Auto mechanics also call it the rust belt reaching into Wisconsin and Minnesota salt used to clear roads of snow and ice promotes rust development in vehicles!
Lifetime Californian checking in. I've moved many times, lived in many climates, from mountain deserts (Tahoe is a tundra), to foothill forests, to city suburbs, to coastal towns. California alone is almost any wilderness you can think of, mostly because it's so large. People think of the coast or the Central Valley when they think of the state, but we have mountains and lakes and deserts and meadows and literally EVERYTHING. Fields of flowers? Check. Majestic waterfalls? Check. The biggest redwood trees in the whole country? Yeah, we have those too. The cost of living and taxes and stuff aren't great, but the wilderness is amazing.
I grew up in Washington State, and now live in Oregon. Have also worked in Nevada, and California. But have traveled across the country, From Washington to Florida. To me the most beautiful nature is the West Coast, and Pacific Northwest. Just gorgeous country, with a bit of everything, from rivers, to lakes, waterfalls, Fall Foliage, Pacific Ocean, forests, to desert. And everything in between. Just absolutely love the Nature here. All Seasons.
I just wanted to say thank you very much! These videos are very informative for Americans. I really enjoy how excited and happy you are to see America. I like how you ask good questions too. My son actually pays attention to your videos. From the South.
I am from the Deep South ( Alabama ) but I have lived all over including Alaska and every place in the US is beautiful so I agree with your statement " beautiful America strikes again" !
Andre, you named the states quite well, better than a lot of US citizens! Pacific Northwest, Western WA, center of the south Puget Sound, rural, surrounded by water and big trees.
Midwest here, born and raised in western Ohio. I love traveling south, into Kentucky and Tennessee, for the beauty of the mountains. Love your channel! ❤
Greetings from the Pacific Northwest. Eugene Oregon home of Nike . Great reaction man. America has a huge diversity of different types of landscapes. Keep the reactions coming.
I think if you asked most Texans, they would say that they're more in the Southwest than The South. Texas is kind of its own thing. So is Florida. The might be geographically south, but they are culturally different to The South. Florida even more so than Texas, honestly.
I'm from Georgia and still consider parts of northern Florida like Jacksonville and Tallahassee and parts of east Texas like Beaumont and Port Arthur as part of the South. I've lived in Silsbee Texas before and it was very much like what I was used to in Georgia with the exception of the 40 foot wide roads. But you're right about the rest of Texas being the southwest and not the south and then southern Florida is pretty much just it's own region.
As a native Texan from Houston, I’ve always said we are the south west. We aren’t anything like the Deep South. Like the first commenter said, Texas is its own thing.
Used to live there: Texas is split. East Texas is South, West Texas and the Trans-Pecos aree southwest, the Hill Country is kind of its own thing, the Panhandle is Plains, The Valley is essentially Mexico.
My dad's favorite part of the US is the Palouse (pah-loose) @20:39. My mother's family homesteaded here in the mid-1800s. My favorite region is the Sonoran Desert in southern Arizona and northern Sonora, Mexico. I live in the west coast region. There are a lot of beautiful places across the US.
I live in Washington state on the eastern edge of the Cascade Mountains. A truly beautiful area with rugged, forested mountains, with clear steams, big rivers, mountain lakes, and hiking trails. I enjoy your podcasts!!!
Are you in Fairbanks? I went to school at UAF. I still watch the weather there and it doesn't seem to get as cold as it used to. I saw it at -55 while I was there. I still see some low temps but it doesn't seem as extreme to me as it was.
Born and raised in Oregon, moved to Montana for a few years before coming back. It's an amazing area to be outdoors (camping, hiking, kayaking, etc). I'll visit other places, but I could never permanently leave the mountains
I grew up in the area south of Buffalo, NY. The Rust Belt thing is still very noticeable it certain parts of the city. A lot of the Great Lakes city were steel and auto manufacturing centers because of the water access, but most of that died out when manufacturing largely left the US. Buffalo has been working for decades to reinvent itself and is very welcoming to people who move into the area because of that.
I agree all regions in America are beautiful and unique. We're in the deep south, south Atlantic and below the Dixie line, in Upstate, South Carolina. Lots of green trees and foliage. Pecans, cotton, tomatoes, okra, etc. Us Army brat and US Navy Veteran I have lived in Colorado, California, Tenn., Texas, Ohio, Florida, have family in West Virginia, Florida, Michigan, Virginia, and South Carolina. Thank you for sharing and loving America! I was also born in Germany!
I live in Southern New Mexico, despite what he says, and I understand personal preference, there is a great amount of beauty in the desert. As someone else said, Northen New Mexico is quite different. My Dad was civil service, so we moved a lot. I did my own moving over the years. In addition to NM, I have lived in Oregon, Texas, Washington, Nebraska, Utah, Idaho, and Minnesota before family convinced me to return to NM. I definitely lived in the snow belt in Minnesota, the state fair is AWESOME there. Living many years in tornado alley, I have learned to watch the sky at all times. All of these places have their own intrinsic beauty. I always say the difficulty of living in many places is you develop a taste for the local food, and you can't get it all in any one place. Dungeness crab and Hatch green chile, both are fabulous, but generally not to be found in the same place. Check out Bandelier, Chaco Canyon, Mesa Verde, Canyon de Chelly and the Gila Cliff Dwellings.
Hello from Colorado. There is a lot of good skiing and hiking here. I live 4 miles from red rocks amphitheater. Its definately worth seeing a concert here.
I remark about an unofficial region I call the "Greater Seattle Region" (GSR), running south from Everett WA to Federal Way WA, then west from Redmond WA to the Puget Sound (sometimes including Bainbridge and Vashon Islands). ;-)
I live in region 1 in Massachusetts right on the ocean in New Bedford. My city has the largest Portuguese Parade in the world. and to protect us from hurricanes we also have the largest hurricane barrier in the world.
Pacific region, Southern California specifically. We have a lot of diversity in our nature activities. I know people who in the winter will surf in the morning and then drive a few hours and they are skiing/snowboarding in the mountains. Or go to a desert. Or head to Mexico, which is about a 90 minute drive away. We have major metropolis cities, shopping, dining, entertainment, and a bunch of amusement parks (Disneyland, California Adventure, Universal Studios, Knott's Berry Farm, Legoland, Six Flags, etc. all around or less than an hour drive away. We also have lots of small mountain and desert communities. California is such a long state that the southern area looks very different from the mid section and the northern section is very different from the others. We also have a LOT of agriculture throughout the state. Almonds, avocados, walnuts, pistachios, grapes, garlic, artichokes, lettuce, celery, strawberries, etc are all grown quite a bit around the state.
1. I’ve NEVER heard anyone say anything about Pennsylvania being part of New England, and i’m from NJ lol. I live in the south now. 2. NJ, NY & PA are called the tri-state area, at least by the people who live there 3. Harper’s Ferry WV is technically shared by 3 states: West Virginia, Virginia and Maryland, but it’s not like the 4 corners, if I recall correctly 4. Texas is Texas lol. I’m not sure they really belong to any region, but I suppose if they do, it would be the South primarily 5. The South technically starts at the Mason-Dixon line, and i don’t think Delaware is part of that. There is a fantastic documentary series called “How the States got their shapes”, hosted by Brian Unger. I haven’t watched it in a long time, but i really enjoyed it the first time. Well worth finding if you can.
for your point #2 - there's multiple "tri-state" areas across the us....and in PA and southern NJ our tri-state area is PA, NJ, and Delaware. I think most New Yorkers would say tri-state up there is NY, CT, and North Jersey
@@seekexplorewander I always heard it as NY, NJ and PA, but I guess it could be CT too, although way too many people think Philly is part of NJ, the Statue of Liberty belongs to NY when technically it belongs to NJ, and people from NJ are split down the middle between Taylor ham vs Taylor pork 😂 it’s just a hot mess up there. As for the tri-state area, my husband said it depends on where you’re standing 😂
I live in Northern California, grew up in Napa, moved to Oakland and now live near Sacramento. I agree, the West is the Best 😂. Every year for the last 20 years my wife and I drive from California to Montana through Nevada and Idaho, then circle around to Washington and back down through Oregon. ITS SO BEAUTIFUL!!
I live in California, specifically the Bay Area in Northern California. More precisely Oakland. So lucky to live in this area both because of the beauty and the people.
I’m in Nebraska…sometimes we say “Midwest”, sometimes we say “Great Plains”. Many people think our state is flat and boring. If you drive across on I-80, it IS mostly flat…the highway is there for that reason. It mostly follows the Platte River (whose name means “flat”). But we have the bluffs along the Missouri River, the Sandhills region with rolling hills, and the high desert in the northwest. I’ve lived most of my life in the Platte River valley, so I’ve learned to love the flat landscape. We have some of the most beautiful sunsets in the country! We also sit atop one of the largest aquifers in the world - Google the Ogallala aquifer, and you’ll see how much of it is under our state.
I live in The Palouse. I've told you about it twice. The picture is not enhanced. It looks like this when the light is right. Search The Palouse and click images. Probably the most green place in the US. Beautiful farmlands with Bitterroot Mountains to the east and Columbia Basin (irrigated sagebrush desert) to the west. Idaho is solid mountains north of Boise. Fingers of the Palouse, around Moscow Idaho, reach into those mountains about 40 miles where it then turns to uninhabited Nat Forests and wilderness.
Hello friend Andre ~ from Middle Tennessee (Appalachia). If you enjoy country music, then you do need to visit the capital of country music in Nashville, TN, That's where many of the stars live and record their music. And as you know ....the food we have here in the South is GREAT ! Beautiful scenic mountains, lakes, rivers, boating, kayaking, white water rafting, hiking trails, camping, and gorgeous waterfalls. All within an hour of Dollywood.
hello fellow Middle Tennessean! IMO, the countryside of the south is the best but I don't like cities. I've been all over the states but to me the south is where I'm happiest.
From South Dakota, born and raised the first half of my life in Minnesota though. Hope you get to make it here in the future and able to visit many area's of our country.
The USA has a lot of problems, but there is so much varied beauty. We are truly blessed and watching videos such as yours remind me of that. I have been fortunate to have been to 45 states. From the Midwest. Thanks Andre...love your enthusiasm!
I live in the Northeast specifically the Mid-Atlantic (Pennsylvania). He designates the regions according to textbook definitions. People often consider states as part of regions that textbooks wouldn’t. For example the mid Atlantic is NY NJ and PA, but many of us consider Maryland Delaware and DC part of mid Atlantic as well. However, officially these states really are a part of the south.
As a Delawarean, DE is absolutely part of the mid-Atlantic. It took until I was in my mid 20s in grad school in Pennsylvania that I saw or heard someone refer to DE as part of “the south” for the first time. It was weirdly upsetting.
I'm from Washington, and I just saw you posted a reaction too it yesterday, so I'm going to watch that video after this one! Edit: The Palouse is also in Washington, not just Idaho, including Palouse falls, the land was made like that from a huge pre-historic flood.
Midwesterner here. Illinois. Yes ... Corn. Lots of it. Although considerably less than when I was young, because they keep selling the land to build more houses. I grew up in a house surrounded by cornfields and no other visible houses, so I am a country girl and proud of it! I went to school with the same people from the age of 5-18, lived on a two lane winding road, had no air conditioning and went to a church with less than 50 people. It doesn't matter where I live, I am a God-fearing, barefoot, plain speaking, caring, family centric woman who rocks her blue jeans, cowboy hats, and country and rock music. Thanks for speaking so well of our country! The people sometimes have major problems, but there's no shortage of beautiful places to see, for sure. 💜
16:50 as an American, (who has lived in the NorthEast, the South and the MidWest) as emotional as you are now, it is even more so in person. Many people just sit there, looking at the sight of the mystery and wonder that is the little blue marble that we live on, and just cry. Silent, shed tears of wonder and joy. You can find these wonders all over the United States of America.
13:22 We Live in the Village of Waverly in Pike County of Southern Ohio with Piketon the Nearest Town and Portsmouth and Chillicothe being Our Closest Cities with Columbus, Our Capitol of Ohio, North of Us ❤
Here in New England, mostly in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, we have about 400,000 people of Portuguese ancestry. There is also a large population from Cabo (Cape) Verde.
I live in the southwest, specifically in New Mexico. I don't think I would ever want to live anywhere else, however my favorite state to visit is Colorado.
born and raised in Colorado and I LOVE it! lived in northern Wyoming for 2 years... great people, small towns, but was so happy to see the flatirons when I came back home!
I live in south east Tennessee surrounded by mountains. Lookout mtn. and Signal mtn., and Suck Creek mtn. It means we get less rain and snow due to the mountains. In fact this year alone we have been in a drought.
@@LindaCulpepper-k4q But Virginia is way up in the North East so to me that is Yankee area it was only South before the end of the civil war when they had so few colonies anyway , so after the civil war it is another Yankee state now .Of course my opinion .
Funny story about my first/only time in Tennessee. I'm from South Texas, so I giggled when I saw the women dressed up and wearing rain boots. I just knew I was gonna look amazing in my new heels. I put them on and attempted to strut. 😂 My shoes kept sinking into the ground. I was ridiculous!! That's what the saying "When in Rome..." was made for! Lol But I did see Graceland and Al Green's church.
The video mentioned Hawaii in the Pacific region, just didn’t feature it. Silly in my opinion. He didn’t really say anything about Tennessee either. Missing out!
USA is like 50 plus different cultures from speech , food , religion, laws state to state are different, policies everything is different sometimes we don’t understand our own language from another state . The USA is HUGE . Pray for us
I live in Connecticut which is part if new England. Beautiful area. My town is boardering Massachusetts. My town is suffield which is a lot of farm land.
I liked this video a lot! I was familiar decent amount of the places he mentioned but it was nice to learn about some more. Plus, it's the video had tons of beautiful scenery. I'm from New England and live in central Massachusetts. You are correct that it is very pretty here in the fall, but unfortunately we don't have many leaves anymore. Peak foliage was about three weeks ago. Don't get me wrong - there are still some trees with leaves. But the majority of them are bare for the season.
Live in the Deep South, Georgia but from Oklahoma and it’s a controversial southern state and people try to group it in the Midwest, but culturally it is the same as Texas, so whatever you group Texas in you have to put Oklahoma with it.
I live in the Gold Country region of Northern California where gold was originally found and mined in the 1840’s and beyond. It’s a beautiful region and has lots of natural beauty and a long Native American history.
I live in Georgia, the deep South and the black belt. Our original settlers included many prisoners who were rescued from debtors prison by a committee and given a second chance. Oglethorpe, who led the settlement, actually made a deal with the Creek (Muscogee) Indians to allow the establishment of Savannah and the other early towns along the coast.
I was just reading about Oglethorpe the other day and discovered something I never knew and that was the fact that under him slavery was banned in Georgia and it was the only one of the 13 colonies where it was illegal until 1751. I just found that fascinating!
The deep south is the most naturally beautiful outside of areas near the Rocky Mountains. Especially in the summer even though it’s hot as hell unless you’re in upstate SC. 🇺🇸

America….. is complicated
Absolutely correct!!
Best way to put it 😂
It's not complicated at all I'm a military veteran and it's real easy I can tell you right now we have elites that control our government and the rest of people in the world and then you have the middle class and the poor people that they are trying to get rid of by saying global warming climate change which is false crap I was told that in the military it is false is a way for the government to grab control with people look at what happened with COVID they were able to grab control and make all these laws they want to do the same thing with climate change or global warming whatever you want to call it it's about getting control of everybody it's in the Bible exactly what's happening go read it then it won't be complicated Jesus literally wrote the Bible God wrote the Bible and told us exactly everything that's going to become in the world and now it's happening it's starting to happen The signs that Jesus said to look for is now happening so it might be confusing to you and complicated to many people but it's not complicated to Christians we are here Christians are here to try to tell people about Jesus and how amazing he is and how much he loves us and he died on the cross for us so they can go to heaven we can all go to heaven if those who believe in Jesus and trust in him as their savior so it's real simple for me this world is passing away fast I'm already 47 so I'm not looking to build up my treasure and riches here on this earth I'm looking forward to having for eternity and when you think like that and you when you know that it makes things way more easier and not complicated at all
Definitely can't argue with this logic.
Only people on TH-cam would think America is complicated how's it complicated name one thing it's complicated about it and I'll give you the answer I'm a military better and I can answer your question probably if I can't I'll tell you there's nothing complicated about America what people are are not Christians and they don't understand the meaning of life there's a difference between America being complicated and life being complicated so yes life is complicated but that's because people won't follow the will of God who's created a universe look up in the sky look at nature look at human eyeball look at animals all that they can do if that's not proof enough then people are crazy so again tell me what's complicated about America and I'm sure I can give you an answer maybe

There's enough in Texas to keep me busy. I've visited 36 states, but there is enough to keep me from leaving state if I wanted.
Last Wed and Thursday, I camped, fished, and hunted in the piney woods of Sam Houston National Forest in east Texas. Tomorrow, I leave to go camping and fishing in Corpus Christie. Tuesday afternoon, I'll be on South Padre Island fishing and to watch the Space X rocket launch and return at 4pm. Next week I'll be in Milano TX at my aunt's longhorn ranch to hunt hogs, fish, and camp. 😂

Driving in the US countryside during the Fall is quite possibly one of the most beautiful things on Earth.
Agreed
So true
Especially Vermont
My first 42 years in Chicago, Illinois. Then 7 years in St. Petersburg, Florida, 2 years near Memphis Tennessee and these last 13 years in a rural NW, Iowa small town.
WHERE in the US countryside? You missed the point of the video
Yes America is a new country. I heard a comment from another reactor from Europe say, "In America a hundred years is a long time, In Europe 100 miles is a long way".
America is an ancient country, but it was colonized and taken away from the indigenous people who people like to call African Americans.
That's because they ignore Native Americans and have no clue about the prehistory of the United States.
One of my favorite bands, Minus the Bear, has a lyric in their song about going to Europe that goes: "Sitting on a park bench, that's older than my country"
Always hit so hard.

I was going to say something close to this, Eastern Kentucky, is beautiful all year round with some of the most friendliest folks. I love it here.
Haha, Ellijay here! And absolutely agree. It's beautiful here and I promise we're all really nice! Come for AppleFest next year!

Hello from South East Texas. I love watching how much you appreciate our country. We sometimes forget how blessed we are. ❤️
I grew up in Washington State, and now live in Oregon. Have also worked in Nevada, and California. But have traveled across the country, From Washington to Florida.

OMG - i want to go to the Olympic penn so badly!
How similar does it feel to Appalachia?

Pacific. Specificaly Pacific Northwest here! Even more specifically, the Inland Northwest area.
Like Sequim?
I just wanted to say thank you very much! These videos are very informative for Americans. I really enjoy how excited and happy you are to see America. I like how you ask good questions too. My son actually pays attention to your videos. From the South.
I am from the Deep South ( Alabama ) but I have lived all over including Alaska and every place in the US is beautiful so I agree with your statement " beautiful America strikes again" !
I always thought the Deep South was Dixie or does one fit in the other ,i don't know , let me know . Thanks
@@russbenner4872Dixie and deep south for most of the regional states are one in the same. Deep south Dixie land you could say. Ga is my home state.
Just curious, where in Alabama are you?
I live near Montgomery in a small town.@@kevinmoore9716
I live just outside of Montgomery near Wetumpka.
The Oregon coast is breathtaking. Get a hotel/motel room with a fireplace and a view of the coast.
Andre, you named the states quite well, better than a lot of US citizens! Pacific Northwest, Western WA, center of the south Puget Sound, rural, surrounded by water and big trees.
Midwest here, born and raised in western Ohio. I love traveling south, into Kentucky and Tennessee, for the beauty of the mountains. Love your channel! ❤
I've lived my whole life in the Pacific Northwest. Started in Washington, then Oregon, now happily back in Washington. 70 years total!
💚
I’m jealous!
Greetings from the Pacific Northwest. Eugene Oregon home of Nike . Great reaction man. America has a huge diversity of different types of landscapes. Keep the reactions coming.
Brandon while Nike was conceived in Eugene it's headquarters are in Beaverton!
Pacific Northwest! Is #1 Hiking , beaches , look up King's Tide. Amazing beauty.
Deep South. Most beautiful trees, views, beaches, and hands-down, the BEST food!!!
I think if you asked most Texans, they would say that they're more in the Southwest than The South. Texas is kind of its own thing. So is Florida. The might be geographically south, but they are culturally different to The South. Florida even more so than Texas, honestly.
Having lived in TN, NC, and Texas, I 100% agree!

I'm from Georgia and still consider parts of northern Florida like Jacksonville and Tallahassee and parts of east Texas like Beaumont and Port Arthur as part of the South. I've lived in Silsbee Texas before and it was very much like what I was used to in Georgia with the exception of the 40 foot wide roads. But you're right about the rest of Texas being the southwest and not the south and then southern Florida is pretty much just it's own region.
As a native Texan from Houston, I’ve always said we are the south west. We aren’t anything like the Deep South. Like the first commenter said, Texas is its own thing.
Used to live there: Texas is split. East Texas is South, West Texas and the Trans-Pecos aree southwest, the Hill Country is kind of its own thing, the Panhandle is Plains, The Valley is essentially Mexico.
My dad's favorite part of the US is the Palouse (pah-loose) @20:39. My mother's family homesteaded here in the mid-1800s. My favorite region is the Sonoran Desert in southern Arizona and northern Sonora, Mexico. I live in the west coast region. There are a lot of beautiful places across the US.
I live in Washington state on the eastern edge of the Cascade Mountains. A truly beautiful area with rugged, forested mountains, with clear steams, big rivers, mountain lakes, and hiking trails. I enjoy your podcasts!!!
I grew up in Iowa. Lived in Oregon, then Virginia, Colorado, SC, and am back in VA. Each area had things I loved.
Hello from the Oregon Coast in the Pacific Northwest!!
Pacific Northwest here and I'm so in love with my region 💚
Currently in Oregon, but have also lived in Alaska
Hi from Alaska. It's so beautiful here, and very cold at 9 degrees tonight. Love your channel! ❤❤
Are you in Fairbanks? I went to school at UAF. I still watch the weather there and it doesn't seem to get as cold as it used to. I saw it at -55 while I was there. I still see some low temps but it doesn't seem as extreme to me as it was.
Born and raised in Oregon, moved to Montana for a few years before coming back. It's an amazing area to be outdoors (camping, hiking, kayaking, etc). I'll visit other places, but I could never permanently leave the mountains
Oregon is an outdoors persons paradise. I spent at least 1/3 of my childhood on a river or lake or in the woods.
West coast is the best. I was born in West Germany and lived all over. Washington is my absolute favorite.
Midwest- Indiana checking in. Love all your videos andré.
I am 57 and this is the first time I’ve ever heard of Palous!
Hoosiers 10-0 baby!
I grew up in the area south of Buffalo, NY. The Rust Belt thing is still very noticeable it certain parts of the city. A lot of the Great Lakes city were steel and auto manufacturing centers because of the water access, but most of that died out when manufacturing largely left the US. Buffalo has been working for decades to reinvent itself and is very welcoming to people who move into the area because of that.
I agree all regions in America are beautiful and unique. We're in the deep south, south Atlantic and below the Dixie line, in Upstate, South Carolina. Lots of green trees and foliage. Pecans, cotton, tomatoes, okra, etc. Us Army brat and US Navy Veteran I have lived in Colorado, California, Tenn., Texas, Ohio, Florida, have family in West Virginia, Florida, Michigan, Virginia, and South Carolina. Thank you for sharing and loving America! I was also born in Germany!
I live in Southern New Mexico, despite what he says, and I understand personal preference, there is a great amount of beauty in the desert. As someone else said, Northen New Mexico is quite different. My Dad was civil service, so we moved a lot. I did my own moving over the years. In addition to NM, I have lived in Oregon, Texas, Washington, Nebraska, Utah, Idaho, and Minnesota before family convinced me to return to NM. I definitely lived in the snow belt in Minnesota, the state fair is AWESOME there. Living many years in tornado alley, I have learned to watch the sky at all times. All of these places have their own intrinsic beauty. I always say the difficulty of living in many places is you develop a taste for the local food, and you can't get it all in any one place. Dungeness crab and Hatch green chile, both are fabulous, but generally not to be found in the same place. Check out Bandelier, Chaco Canyon, Mesa Verde, Canyon de Chelly and the Gila Cliff Dwellings.
Canyon de Chelly is one of my most favorite places!
Hello from Colorado. There is a lot of good skiing and hiking here. I live 4 miles from red rocks amphitheater. Its definately worth seeing a concert here.
I remark about an unofficial region I call the "Greater Seattle Region" (GSR), running south from Everett WA to Federal Way WA, then west from Redmond WA to the Puget Sound (sometimes including Bainbridge and Vashon Islands). ;-)
I live in the middle of Missouri and have my whole life. It's a gorgeous area. I'm new to your channel and liking it so far. Ty
I live in region 1 in Massachusetts right on the ocean in New Bedford. My city has the largest Portuguese Parade in the world. and to protect us from hurricanes we also have the largest hurricane barrier in the world.
West Virginia here, the mountains are beautiful!
I live in the Midwest, in southern Indiana. It’s a great place to live, with low crime, mild weather for the most part and friendly people!
Pacific region, Southern California specifically. We have a lot of diversity in our nature activities. I know people who in the winter will surf in the morning and then drive a few hours and they are skiing/snowboarding in the mountains. Or go to a desert. Or head to Mexico, which is about a 90 minute drive away. We have major metropolis cities, shopping, dining, entertainment, and a bunch of amusement parks (Disneyland, California Adventure, Universal Studios, Knott's Berry Farm, Legoland, Six Flags, etc. all around or less than an hour drive away. We also have lots of small mountain and desert communities. California is such a long state that the southern area looks very different from the mid section and the northern section is very different from the others. We also have a LOT of agriculture throughout the state. Almonds, avocados, walnuts, pistachios, grapes, garlic, artichokes, lettuce, celery, strawberries, etc are all grown quite a bit around the state.
I live in Pacific Northwest.
I'm in the Mid West, particularly the Great Lakes region... you never hear a lot about it, but it is so beautiful here.
1. I’ve NEVER heard anyone say anything about Pennsylvania being part of New England, and i’m from NJ lol. I live in the south now.
2. NJ, NY & PA are called the tri-state area, at least by the people who live there
3. Harper’s Ferry WV is technically shared by 3 states: West Virginia, Virginia and Maryland, but it’s not like the 4 corners, if I recall correctly
4. Texas is Texas lol. I’m not sure they really belong to any region, but I suppose if they do, it would be the South primarily
5. The South technically starts at the Mason-Dixon line, and i don’t think Delaware is part of that.
There is a fantastic documentary series called “How the States got their shapes”, hosted by Brian Unger. I haven’t watched it in a long time, but i really enjoyed it the first time. Well worth finding if you can.
for your point #2 - there's multiple "tri-state" areas across the us....and in PA and southern NJ our tri-state area is PA, NJ, and Delaware. I think most New Yorkers would say tri-state up there is NY, CT, and North Jersey
I wasjust going to post the same thing. @@seekexplorewander
@@adyscript I appreciate you putting out there. I will find it.
I thought the tri city area was NY, NJ, and Connecticut since when did it change!??❤
@@seekexplorewander I always heard it as NY, NJ and PA, but I guess it could be CT too, although way too many people think Philly is part of NJ, the Statue of Liberty belongs to NY when technically it belongs to NJ, and people from NJ are split down the middle between Taylor ham vs Taylor pork 😂 it’s just a hot mess up there. As for the tri-state area, my husband said it depends on where you’re standing 😂
I live in Northern California, grew up in Napa, moved to Oakland and now live near Sacramento. I agree, the West is the Best 😂. Every year for the last 20 years my wife and I drive from California to Montana through Nevada and Idaho, then circle around to Washington and back down through Oregon. ITS SO BEAUTIFUL!!
I live in Oregon in the Pacific Northwest. I'm probably biased but I do think it is one of the most beautiful regions in the USA. ❤
I live in California, specifically the Bay Area in Northern California. More precisely Oakland. So lucky to live in this area both because of the beauty and the people.
I’m in Nebraska…sometimes we say “Midwest”, sometimes we say “Great Plains”. Many people think our state is flat and boring. If you drive across on I-80, it IS mostly flat…the highway is there for that reason. It mostly follows the Platte River (whose name means “flat”). But we have the bluffs along the Missouri River, the Sandhills region with rolling hills, and the high desert in the northwest. I’ve lived most of my life in the Platte River valley, so I’ve learned to love the flat landscape. We have some of the most beautiful sunsets in the country! We also sit atop one of the largest aquifers in the world - Google the Ogallala aquifer, and you’ll see how much of it is under our state.
Born, raised, and have lived in the Pacific Northwest all my life.
Midwest here. I’ve commented many times before. I’m from Chicagoland. About 40 miles north of the city and about three miles from Lake Michigan.
Hey, Little Rhody here- November in New England is my favorite, can walk thru the woods and easily see all the rhododendrons and mountain laurels 😊
I was born in Kentucky, raised in Tennessee. I now live in Florida, where I've been for about 20 years. :)
Have you seen the Buffalo here in Florida yet?
I live in The Palouse. I've told you about it twice. The picture is not enhanced. It looks like this when the light is right. Search The Palouse and click images. Probably the most green place in the US. Beautiful farmlands with Bitterroot Mountains to the east and Columbia Basin (irrigated sagebrush desert) to the west. Idaho is solid mountains north of Boise. Fingers of the Palouse, around Moscow Idaho, reach into those mountains about 40 miles where it then turns to uninhabited Nat Forests and wilderness.
I live in the Pacific Northwest. Some people also call it Cascadia, which includes parts of BC, Canada.
I live in pacific northwest Oregon
Hello friend Andre ~ from Middle Tennessee (Appalachia). If you enjoy country music, then you do need to visit the capital of country music in Nashville, TN, That's where many of the stars live and record their music.
And as you know ....the food we have here in the South is GREAT ! Beautiful scenic mountains, lakes, rivers, boating, kayaking, white water rafting, hiking trails, camping, and gorgeous waterfalls. All within an hour of Dollywood.
hello fellow Middle Tennessean! IMO, the countryside of the south is the best but I don't like cities. I've been all over the states but to me the south is where I'm happiest.
From South Dakota, born and raised the first half of my life in Minnesota though. Hope you get to make it here in the future and able to visit many area's of our country.
I live in the Pacific region, more specifically the Pacific Northwest.
The USA has a lot of problems, but there is so much varied beauty. We are truly blessed and watching videos such as yours remind me of that. I have been fortunate to have been to 45 states. From the Midwest. Thanks Andre...love your enthusiasm!
Most countries have "a lot of problems" imo, they just aren't as publicized as much as the US.
Now I need you to react to a video of the beautiful places in Portugal! I'd love to see it!
I live in the Northeast specifically the Mid-Atlantic (Pennsylvania). He designates the regions according to textbook definitions. People often consider states as part of regions that textbooks wouldn’t. For example the mid Atlantic is NY NJ and PA, but many of us consider Maryland Delaware and DC part of mid Atlantic as well. However, officially these states really are a part of the south.
As a Delawarean, DE is absolutely part of the mid-Atlantic. It took until I was in my mid 20s in grad school in Pennsylvania that I saw or heard someone refer to DE as part of “the south” for the first time. It was weirdly upsetting.
5:55 Appalachian Mountains is the Appalachian region that is the Length of a River 😅
I'm from Washington, and I just saw you posted a reaction too it yesterday, so I'm going to watch that video after this one! Edit: The Palouse is also in Washington, not just Idaho, including Palouse falls, the land was made like that from a huge pre-historic flood.
Go to Utah and, at least, visit Zion, Bryce and Arches. Southern Utah is amazing. Nearby you will find Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon.
Midwesterner here. Illinois. Yes ... Corn. Lots of it. Although considerably less than when I was young, because they keep selling the land to build more houses. I grew up in a house surrounded by cornfields and no other visible houses, so I am a country girl and proud of it! I went to school with the same people from the age of 5-18, lived on a two lane winding road, had no air conditioning and went to a church with less than 50 people. It doesn't matter where I live, I am a God-fearing, barefoot, plain speaking, caring, family centric woman who rocks her blue jeans, cowboy hats, and country and rock music. Thanks for speaking so well of our country! The people sometimes have major problems, but there's no shortage of beautiful places to see, for sure. 💜
I'm from Texas. I consider it the Southwest, as do many, many others.
PNW , Pacific North West
16:50 as an American, (who has lived in the NorthEast, the South and the MidWest) as emotional as you are now, it is even more so in person. Many people just sit there, looking at the sight of the mystery and wonder that is the little blue marble that we live on, and just cry. Silent, shed tears of wonder and joy. You can find these wonders all over the United States of America.
If you have never been to the south you might not understand the heat and humidity. It is intense
13:22 We Live in the Village of Waverly in Pike County of Southern Ohio with Piketon the Nearest Town and Portsmouth and Chillicothe being Our Closest Cities with Columbus, Our Capitol of Ohio, North of Us ❤
Here in New England, mostly in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, we have about 400,000 people of Portuguese ancestry. There is also a large population from Cabo (Cape) Verde.
Hi from Vermont. Nice to meet you
@@jayeharrison4533 Hello. Vermont was once my second home state (after Rhode Island) when I attended UVM.
@@JPMadden UVM is awesome. Congratulations!
@@jayeharrison4533 Thanks
I'm in Colorado at the base of Pike's Peak and the beautiful Rocky Mountains.
If you wish to really impress a person from Illinois, pronounce the name of the state without the "s". Ill-i-noy! this is the correct pronunciation.
tres french!
In live in Charleston, South Carolina, and absolutely love it!
I live in the southwest, specifically in New Mexico. I don't think I would ever want to live anywhere else, however my favorite state to visit is Colorado.
I’m in Colorado so I’m the opposite! I drive down once a month to visit New Mexico! 😊
@starparodier91 Hey, now that's pretty cool. Maybe we've passed each other driving opposite directions, lol
Colorado is great until you hit Denver, avoid Denver at all costs 😅
Thank you from Loveland CO
@@matthewthaemert3282 I was born/raised/still live in Highlands Ranch. I enjoy my little bubble, haha.
born and raised in Colorado and I LOVE it! lived in northern Wyoming for 2 years... great people, small towns, but was so happy to see the flatirons when I came back home!
Hello neighbor!
I live in south east Tennessee surrounded by mountains. Lookout mtn. and Signal mtn., and Suck Creek mtn. It means we get less rain and snow due to the mountains. In fact this year alone we have been in a drought.
I was born in Virginia but have lived in Florida for 65. I consider both states to be in the south
@@LindaCulpepper-k4q But Virginia is way up in the North East so to me that is Yankee area it was only South before the end of the civil war when they had so few colonies anyway , so after the civil war it is another Yankee state now .Of course my opinion .
Funny story about my first/only time in Tennessee. I'm from South Texas, so I giggled when I saw the women dressed up and wearing rain boots. I just knew I was gonna look amazing in my new heels. I put them on and attempted to strut. 😂 My shoes kept sinking into the ground. I was ridiculous!! That's what the saying "When in Rome..." was made for! Lol
But I did see Graceland and Al Green's church.
Mountain West!!! I live in Montana. I have lived in the west coast as well.
Upper Midwest here. Specifically Minnesota. It’s quite a special country and I love every part of it but you always make me love it more.
The Great Basin
I live in the Inland Northwest. East Washington, Idaho (north panhandle), west Montana.
Once again, we’ve been ignored. I live in Hawaii.
You’re not a region, you’re everyone’s Dreams and best memories!
The video mentioned Hawaii in the Pacific region, just didn’t feature it. Silly in my opinion.
He didn’t really say anything about Tennessee either. Missing out!
Pacific west or PNW of Washington
There are 7 regions in Texas.
Currently in the West but have also lived in Mid Atlantic, South, South West, Pacific North West and Cali.
The Black Belt is called that because the soil is black and super rich and was originally the area where cotton plantations were.
I have lived in South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, and now in Michigan.
USA is like 50 plus different cultures from speech , food , religion, laws state to state are different, policies everything is different sometimes we don’t understand our own language from another state . The USA is HUGE . Pray for us
I live in Connecticut which is part if new England. Beautiful area. My town is boardering Massachusetts. My town is suffield which is a lot of farm land.
If you do come to the deep south, try our food it's the most fattening but the best food in America especially the seafood in Louisiana
sounds good, ty so much!
I liked this video a lot! I was familiar decent amount of the places he mentioned but it was nice to learn about some more. Plus, it's the video had tons of beautiful scenery. I'm from New England and live in central Massachusetts. You are correct that it is very pretty here in the fall, but unfortunately we don't have many leaves anymore. Peak foliage was about three weeks ago. Don't get me wrong - there are still some trees with leaves. But the majority of them are bare for the season.
Live in the Deep South, Georgia but from Oklahoma and it’s a controversial southern state and people try to group it in the Midwest, but culturally it is the same as Texas, so whatever you group Texas in you have to put Oklahoma with it.
I live in the Gold Country region of Northern California where gold was originally found and mined in the 1840’s and beyond. It’s a beautiful region and has lots of natural beauty and a long Native American history.
I live in Georgia, the deep South and the black belt. Our original settlers included many prisoners who were rescued from debtors prison by a committee and given a second chance. Oglethorpe, who led the settlement, actually made a deal with the Creek (Muscogee) Indians to allow the establishment of Savannah and the other early towns along the coast.
I was just reading about Oglethorpe the other day and discovered something I never knew and that was the fact that under him slavery was banned in Georgia and it was the only one of the 13 colonies where it was illegal until 1751. I just found that fascinating!
I live In the west! to narrow it down the pacific region. I enjoy your videos' its great seeing outer perspectives.
The deep south is the most naturally beautiful outside of areas near the Rocky Mountains. Especially in the summer even though it’s hot as hell unless you’re in upstate SC. 🇺🇸
born and raised in IDAHO!!! Family has been in Idaho since 1860.
