Try Fort Worth Texas or Dallas. Great prices on rent or buying, and there is country-ish type living just outside the city limits. I am from Fort Worth. It is a little/big town if you know what I mean. It has a smallish town feel with big city things, and Dallas needs no explanation. I loved the Dallas nightlife and things to do there. I just like Colorado a little more for now. I may end up back in Texas someday. I think the weed thing will pass in Texas in a few years though, so maybe Texas is your place? The heat got to me though, I just can't stand that heat these days. Austin might be good as well. Check out Waco, Mansfield and the surrounding towns around the DFW area.

Texas is a big fucking state. Two of the chillest most 'west coast' esque folks in my life right now come from Austin. That may be out of OP's comfort level in terms of budget. A few years ago when I looked at rent prices I was floored at how cheap it seemed compared to the northeastern cities.
I could never live in Texas due to weather and palmetto bugs alone, and if I'm gonna deal with all the bullshit of a big city I want one that I can comfortably stumble around in without needing a car(though since I've been leaving my own city lately for family obligations, I am bringing my car back into the city juuust as soon as I live in a neighborhood where finding parking for a three row SUV won't be a neverending battle and headache), but there's a lot going on down there and some undeniably cool cities.

Austin and San Antonio are both neat places and fun as well. Dick

I'd love to visit New Orleans.
Could never live there. That humidity. We had a bad heatwave and the humidity and heat hit Louisiana territory for a bit in August and I remember sitting in a bar under misting fans at night(it was like 95 degrees and the humidity was staggering and it was almost 1:30am) and asking someone there "How do people in New Orleans do this like all the time?!"
and he was just like "....they drink".
And we clinked glasses and the craziness of that place suddenly all made sense.

I know! That humidity was brutal, but I am from Texas so it was easier to handle for me, also in Dallas Texas it can 102 fucking degrees at 2am!

The Ozark mountains humidity is stifling as well. All the hills and valleys, waterways and forest area.... my lord. People literally sit outside on the porch drinking sweet tea with whiskey or shine all day. Back in 2011 when we were working a resort area down there it was over 100 for over a month and I swear you could see the moisture in the air. Thank gods there is a very large body of water near where I was to cool off. The kitchen was almost unbearable down there. I could not do it anymore. Dick

Alaska, Washington, Montana.
I've been to about 20 us states. That's what I'd say stands out the most to me. AZ and Florida suck. Too hot. California is cool but driving there is a nightmare. Oregon wasn't all that it's more or less a less watered down version of Washington.
My thoughts I've never explored the east coast besides Florida.
After reading the op Alaska for sure. Hell if you're cool I could probably get you in touch with people. Hiking, rafting, snowboarding, the list goes on and on. Great state. Good work as well. At 18 I was averaging 25 bucks an hour.
