1.I think we can all agree that New England is, without a doubt, the most naturally stunning part of the entire United States.
2.Whether you're talking about its majestic rolling hills...
3....peaceful beaches...
4....or snow-capped mountains, the charm of New England permeates the atmosphere.
5.But let's not let all that natural beauty get in the way of the inescapable allure of New England's small towns.
6.Yep, the small towns are pretty much the greatest.
7.Where else in the country could you have a state capital that's actually a small community at heart?
8.Even in the big cities, you find a bit of the quirk and charm that makes all those small towns so appealing.
9.Of course, you'll also find that those cities are thriving metropolises filled with food, culture, and vibrancy.
10.To be sure, we can't forget about how lovely each and every season is in New England, from spring...
11....to the most majestic autumns you'll ever witness...
12....to the snow-covered wonderlands of winter.
13.For real — everyone thinks winter is New England is some constant hellscape. But look at this beauty.
14.Even getting snowed in is kind of incredible.
15.And if you're looking for some fun ~island life~ in the warmer months, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket are notoriously popular spots.
16.Or if you're a bit more into the simplicity of nature, you can hike and bike all around Block Island.
17.Because of all the people who have made New England their home over the years, you can't help but bump into evidence of the region's incredible history everywhere you look.
18.If you're feeling patriotic, the historic sites of the Revolutionary War will enthrall and enlighten you.
19.Of course, if you're looking for some more recent culture, New England is chock full of amazing museums like the ICA.
20.Or you could always go and catch a modern dance performance, although the stunning natural backdrop at places like Jacob's Pillow might distract you.
21.Of course, there's the whole matter of all the delectable local cuisine that we haven't even gotten to yet.
22.From clambakes to lobster rolls, the flavors of New England can't be beat.
23.Even casual New England cuisine like the fluffernutter is probably more delicious than anything you'd find elsewhere in the country.
24.Although, to be fair, it can sometimes be hard to focus on the food when the views from the restaurants are so breathtaking.
25.Don't worry, though.
26.You'll get used to all of those kinds of things in time.
27.Because let's be real — once you've spent enough time in New England, you'll never want to leave.
