About This Quiz

The United States of America is a vast country. What state you live in has a lot to do with how you experience life. A lot of people stay in the state they are born in, and they think it is the right place for them, but the thing is, how do you know what is the perfect place for you until you go there and experience it for yourself? Other people might move somewhere new for a job or a relationship, and they think they found the perfect place to live out the rest of their days but have they really?

What state is the one that is the best for you; the place where you are destined to be? Do you have a Northeast vibe and you don't even know it, or would you feel most comfortable in the South? Do you like everything supersized? Then if so you might feel at home in Texas, or maybe you are the kind of person who would feel right at home chilling out in the warmth of California. It is hard to know until you live there, which is why you should take this quiz to find out.
