New Hampshire, USA

This state has a proud tradition of firsts - namely, it was the first post-colonial sovereign nation in the United States, having broken away from Great Britain back in January of 1766. Obviously, it joined the newly formed United States six months later. It’s also famous for the New Hampshire Primary, which is the first primary in the US presidential cycle. The license plates still carry the motto “Live Free or Die,” embodying the commitment of New Hampshire’s people to political issues. Manchester is considered one of the most tax friendly cities in the United States, attesting to the important of personal and political freedoms. Combined with the incredible educational history that this area of the country has, New Hampshire is an eye-opening place to visit. The nature here is breathtaking, and you’re sure to enjoy your visit!







 


Maine, USA

For those who are looking for the most spectacular scenery that this area of the country has to offer, head up to Maine. Maine is wilder than most people realize – over half of the area of the state is unincorporated. For those who are looking for a beautiful state where they can get lost in nature and not look back, Maine is the place to be. Acadia National Park is located here, which is New England's most famous. In addition the fishing in Maine is unparalleled, and the small towns are enough to entertain yet comparatively sparsely populated and charming. Be sure to check out Maine if you happen to be in New England - not many people make it this far north when it comes to this area of the Untied States, but many who do say that Maine is America's best kept secret.
