Most people only know about the City side of New York.
I have

lived in New York City for 15 years, but I have lived other states.

I have travelled and lived in other parts of the USA.
New York is not my favorite state. I just don't like the freezing cold weather. I also hate the city, but the food is awesome, because people from all over the world live there. New York has the highest population of people compared to the other states in the USA. I left the city, because I like more land, trees, fresh air and space. I feel as though people living in cities have more stress and less patience.
The country side of New York is beautiful. People are friendlier and there is less crime, and more outdoor activities to do.
As long as you have a car, it is relatively easier to get a job!
However, there is public transportation.
There are factories, the pay is good for low paying jobs, and you can rent a nice house or apartment which is HIGHLY AFFORDABLE. even for someone working at McDonalds.
There are colleges with foreigners as well and it is relatively SAFE!

I took some photos for you all to see.
